🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The set design was great. It had a steampunk look but with futuristic components.
We especially enjoyed the "activation" process of the time machine. As we solved different puzzle components, a segment of the time machine would come to "life".
The puzzles were interesting and different. Some were simply following instructions for inputs whereas others were more difficult to figure out (i.e. I'm not sure how players would feel about one particular Math problem).

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

There was one puzzle that felt a bit long in terms of the sequence that we needed for completion. But we did enjoy the teamwork process that it made us go through to achieve the final goal.
We were unsure what to do for the final action. It would be great to have either a voice or paper instruction added somewhere.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This is probably one of the harder rooms at this location. There were a good amount of puzzles we had to complete on top of a little "search and find". Although you can order drinks to be brought into the room while playing, we think you probably want to give this room a little more attention if you want to get out in time. This room had a mix of teamwork and individual moments, so if you have a team with a mix of strength (physical and mental puzzles), you'll probably have a higher chance of being brought back to the present day by the time machine!
