🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set design of having to break out, then break in, and finally break out again is pretty unique.
Escaping the initial area really forced us to think outside the box and utilized everything that we could reach or see.
A visual puzzle was fun and the final reveal moment was satisfying.
There's a puzzle prop that we haven't seen before and when we finally decided to give our idea a try (and it actually worked), we were amazed.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
One of the props used in the game felt a little out of place and we were confused by the leftover marks on it. Perhaps a more permanent establishment for it?
A prop was a bit finicky on the input. We tried several times with the right code but were unsure why it didn't register.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room was quite spacious. It could easily accommodate a large group. The puzzles were not too difficult so a small group of enthusiasts could easily make good time. After the game, I realized I could have just left Brandon handcuffed for the entire game, solved the puzzles, and escaped without him. So if you are mad at your other half....J/K! This game is a perfect game to warm up with the team before you head upstairs to challenge yourselves in their new game "T4K3N"!
