🎯  HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The set design of the room truly looked and felt like a prison cell and more. From the stone walls, to the lockers and secret passages.

• There were some challenging puzzles that stumped us just the right amount with plenty of eureka moments.

• The puzzles blended into the environment and fit the experience perfectly. There were a few puzzles that we didn’t even realize were puzzles until we got to them.

• There were plenty of in game reveals throughout the room that led to a lot of high moments.

🧩  MISSED THE MARK

• This was a solid experience that did not have any misses.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Rikers, 1932" was a top-tier prison break experience. From the stone walls to the quality props, the set design brought us into the game. The puzzles were the right amount of challenging and worked well with the environment. We played with 4 people and found that it allowed us all to see everything and participate in everything. The room could fit up to 6 people comfortably. Anyone who is into prison break rooms, challenging puzzles or top tier set designs would enjoy this room. Will you be able to escape and “cell”-ebrate a victory or will the puzzles leave you “con”-fused?
