📖 THE STORY

Today is the day of the eruption of Pompeii. You are still locked up in your cell as gladiators and have no idea what's going on in the outside world. Hopefully, you'll be able to escape, head to the dock, and sail away in the last ship!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• "Divide and Conquer" is always a type of gameplay that we enjoy. You will be able to start in separate cells in this game and will need to help one other in order to free yourselves from the prison cells.

• In comparison to the simple designs of the previous rooms, a lot more detail was put into the making of the final room. It was a nice way to "escape".

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• The set design didn't really have an ancient city feel. We are still unsure what the transitional second room is supposed to resemble. Perhaps dimmer lighting could also help with the ambiance.

• There should be an added clue or storyline for the first puzzle. Currently, it feels like a "trial and error" scenario.

• Some props need maintenance as a few mag locks didn't function correctly. We actually thought some of the broken props were done on purpose for a puzzle but they weren't. So this eventually became red herrings in the room.

• There was a puzzle that required a good amount of items to be counted but the props didn't feel "significant" enough to be used in that way. We were surprised when we got the right answer.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This room is probably their oldest room at this location. When compared to their other rooms, the puzzles were easier and the props and set design were more run down. This room could use some revamping to catch up with the industry standards. If you are new to escape rooms, perhaps this is a good warm-up room for you. If you are looking for more of a challenge, they do have three other themes for you to try out at this location!
