📖 THE STORY

As you and your friends are helping your Grandpa clean out his shed, a storm begins to approach with a tornado not far behind. With things flying everywhere, some debris has also blocked the door out of the shed. Can you figure out a way to escape and make it to the bunker before it’s too late?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• There was a lot of things that made this game feel realistic. The biggest one was the shed actually shaking as you played. It also shook the right amount as we never felt nauseous from the movement nor distracted us from the task at hand. Other fun aspects added to the experience such as the windows showing animated images of the farm to feeling the storm once you get out of the shed.

• All the puzzles were nicely designed with a lot that promoted teamwork to help solve. Most of them were also large enough or had enough items that we could all work on them together without too much crowding around.

• There was a nice shift from linear to non-linear puzzles. This allowed everyone to be able to work on something all the time and not have anyone feel idle in the game.

• One thing that Lockdown did was try to get the puzzles to work seamlessly and make sense with the story. Not all of it was perfect, but some the key elements and puzzles did make sense from a story perspective.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• This was a solid experience. There is nothing that I can think of that missed the mark.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Tornado Shack" was entertaining to play. The shack shaking was something that did not disappoint to make the game more immersive among other things. The non-linear puzzles were also designed so that no one seemed to be idle for very long as we progressed through the game. We played with 5 experienced players and though it was a little tight at times in the shack portion of the game, we were still able to move around each other. Everyone working there has a huge passion for escape rooms and it shows through the rooms they designed and their interactions. Lockdown Escape Rooms is currently the only escape room located in Red Deer, Alberta. If you are passing through the area, definitely check out the escape rooms. You will not be disappointed.

• The game did have a moving floor. While most people would not have an issue with the motion, some who are extremely sensitive with balance may need to have them modify the shaking.
