🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The set design gave us an eerie vibe right when we stepped into the dim light cabin.
We really appreciate that Exit 4 Escape Rooms always keep impairment concerns as part of their design. All of their buttons would voice out what they are. For example the colors, words, etc...This also really helped in this room since the lighting was quite dark and we didn't have to be confused with the button colors.
There were special sound effects and lighting that brought out the immersion. It had us believe we were locked up in a creepy cabin in the middle of nowhere.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

The start of the game needed either a video or story clue. We were unsure why we had to complete the first puzzle the way it was supposed to be done other than just giving it a try. This also stopped the flow of the game since the game is linear.
This room had a lot of buttons which kind of didn't go with the theme of the room. Moreover, the buttons sometimes had to be pressed separately and sometimes together. This was also a "trial and error" type of decision.
One of the puzzles had a specific clue on the wording that made us follow it to the tee. The solution also needed to be exact as well but if done according to the wording of the clue, it wasn't giving us the correct solution. The wording of the clue needs to be changed.
Some props needed a bit of updating.
It would be great if the placing of the final piece could be paired with some sort of music or video to symbolize the lifting of the curse of the Jersey Devil.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

If you enjoy a little bit of a jump scare, you might want to give this "horror-themed" room a try. It's definitely not as scary as it sounds but this is the only "horror" game at this location. If you're not used to playing in a dimly lit room, you might find searching for clues a bit more difficult in this game. One thing we wish the designer would change is the use of buttons. There were a lot of them in this room used as the input device and it just didn't go with the set design or storyline. Being in Jersey, this is a perfect local theme for the adventurous. If you think you're brave enough to put an end to the Jersey Devil curse, you should gather up your myth-buster teammates now!
