🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
We like the lighting and ambience in this room. The decor and props definitely has a medieval vibe to it.
If you love puzzles, this room had a ton more than other rooms we've seen in Amazing Escape Rooms. You'll be quite busy with decoding, deducting and detecting clues. We were glad a boogie board was given to us to write the answers down.
There was a good mixture of puzzle difficult levels in this room.
The ending was also presented in a puzzle format versus the classic "you've escaped with a key". We liked this modification.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The beginning puzzle's sequence was quite long. It could hinder the entire game play of the latter room if it's not solved.
This room is located closest to the streets so unfortunately you are able to hear the cars going by from time to time which takes a bit away from the immersion.
Although some storylines were present in this room, it was not relevant to the original story. The stories were put in mainly as puzzles but there were no connection to the main character nor to the goal of the game.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room was probably the most challenging room we've played at Amazing Escape Rooms as two people. There were scattered clues throughout the rooms and long sequence codes we had to decipher. But as enthusiasts we really enjoyed this room as it kept us going and we didn't have any moments where we were stumped on puzzle flow. Four people would be our recommendation to the ideal number of players for this room as some puzzles could be more difficult to solve with more hands on deck.
