🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set design was simple at first but had a surprising final visual component that made us feel like we were actually under the ocean.
Most of the puzzles were multi-step puzzles. A lot of times we thought we knew the answer right away but it was only half of the puzzle.
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 was a special way the second door was triggered as most doors just simply open but we actually felt like we assembled a mechanism that "opened" this door.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The first room felt like it could use a couple of more puzzles or clues as it was quite a good amount of space and not as much usage as the rest of the room.
The usage of the buttons in this room felt like "trial and error" as sometimes we would have to press them together and other times separately.
The ending needed some sort of confirmation music or video so we could feel the conclusion to the storyline.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
A pirate-themed escape room is one of the most popular choices for players and we can totally relate. Who doesn't want to traverse through the deep sea and search for some treasures? The game is pretty linear so if you get stuck on one puzzle, make sure you ask for a hint right away as there are a good amount of puzzles in this game. This room also had the most storytelling than all the other rooms at this location. So if your group can't decide on which theme, this might be a good solution for everyone. Just make sure you have those sea legs ready!
