🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Just like being checked in at the airport, our GM gave us boarding tickets and led us to an actual airplane door to board the flight. It was an authentic experience right from the start.
This is not the first airplane themed escape room that we've played, but it's definitely the best one in terms of set design. You'll encounter real airplane seats, take off and landing lights, vibrations, announcements, and other real equipment. Because the owners of QuestAir Escape Rooms used to be pilots, they knew exactly what to do to bring authenticity to the look and feel of this game.
The puzzles were fun and some actually involved us thinking outside of the box. It was great for the creator to insert the storyline into the puzzle creation to make everything seem reasonable.
Our favorite part of the game was obviously the plot twist that we can't really discuss here. All I can say is that you'll love it as that was when the adrenaline really started to kick in. The lighting, sound and the "personal touch" really presented us with an exciting and satisfying ending.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
One of the puzzles in the room could be played out of order as it could be easily brute forced. It would be great if there's someway to prevent that as it would take us out of the immersion if the GM has to inform us to solve that puzzle later as focus on something else first. Certain puzzle props or rearrangement of the order could also prevent this confusion in the game flow.
Some props could be refurbished as we were not use to how much "force" we had to use to pop open something.
Later on in the game, we couldn't really hear the speaker from another part of the room. It would be great if the speakers could be heard throughout the game, but this could be due to a malfunction just on that day.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This game was our favorite airplane themed room so far. The puzzles and set design was as real as it can get to a real life situation. The urgency was definitely felt by us and we were very eager to escape. This was one of those games where I was glad it's just a game and not something I'll have to experience ever in real life. If you like to travel by flying and want to experience a little challenge while airborne (well maybe a bit more than a challenge...), then it's time for you to board "Flight 301"!
