🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• One place that I used to love hanging out as a kid (as I"m sure many others as well), was the comic shop! The set design in this room truly brought me back! We already knew the owner of Amazing Escape Room is an avid collector of board games, comic books, and toys, so it only made sense to create a room w/ all of these memorabilia! Without giving away any spoilers, there's so much more than meets the eye...

• With a room like "Comic Shop", there's a lot of storylines that Amazing Escape Room could've created. I"m glad they opted for a role playing version where the player gets to actually teleport into the comic book itself!

• Let's talk puzzles! I love the design of certain puzzles (especially in the latter part of the room) where it felt like we're in control of the action and ultimately "changing" the course of the storyline to reach that final victory.

• Love the ending reveal, very EPIC.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• A few tweaks were needed with some of the props as it's quite sensitive and did not trigger for our team even when placed at the right positions. The GM should be more alert on letting us know so we don't waste time on continuous attempts.

• One of the puzzles confused us due to the wording. It's an easy fix to get that corrected and we've send our feedback to the company so hopefully you won't encounter this issue when you play the room.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Need an excuse to act like a big kid again and relive your comic book collecting days? This room definitely brought out the inner fanboy in me! I spend half of the time just looking through the posters. On top of that, you actually get to immerse yourself INTO the comic book as a superhero to stop the villain! If you're a fan of superheroes/ supervillains or just looking for an epic adventure, "Comic Book" is a must-do!
