📖 THE STORY

Our mission was to find the alias of a missing agent and bring down the syndicate responsible for his disappearance. Our clues led us to a casino…

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Right away this room “screamed” fun. There were various types of casino games placed around the room. It does help a little if you already know the rules of some of the games, but there were clear instructions so outside knowledge was not necessary.

• The spacious room and nonlinear puzzle designs were great for large teams and/or experienced players who loves a challenge.

• The story was incorporated within the puzzles and presented a clear ending.

• From evidence collecting, deductive reasoning, logical thinking, and making the final call on who was the syndicate, we felt like we were real detectives working on a case.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• One puzzle confused us as we were not used to one challenge having multiple solutions.

• We would’ve loved to see one of the puzzles at its full capacity but unfortunately it malfunctioned that day. It also caused a bit of confusion for us since it felt like a solvable piece.

• Some casino sounds would be great to add to the atmosphere of the room.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Love espionage? Sherlock Holmes? Clue? You’ll probably want to give this room a try. Putting clues together piece by piece and ultimately finding “the one” was satisfying. There was a lot to do with just the 2 of us, so if you are just starting out with escape rooms, we suggest a larger group. Have fun and catch the bad guy!
