🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The high ceiling really created a sense of majestic feeling to this evil Doctor's lair. There's a huge display in there that made you feel like you're literally talking and being monitored by him.

• I love that humor was implemented in one of the puzzles. Although we had to repeat it several times, we're laughing about it the entire way.

• The game actually knows to adjust the requirement for a puzzle according to how many players. This was quite impressive as we had played games where a minimum of three players is required and the game master had to come in to help us. Hopefully this will be implemented more into future escape room tech designs.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There was a "search and find" component in the beginning of the game that took almost half of our game time. It was even difficult for the game master to point out which one we've missed. Since it's a timed task as well, it was quite frustrating at one point as we literally thought we were going to spend the entire game on puzzle number one.

• There was one "puzzle" that felt more like a search and find your answer type. It didn't feel like it fit in with the rest of the puzzle type.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

The Bureau Escape Rooms "wowed" us before we even enter the lobby. It's secret yet impressive welcome message to the agents (us) was truly unique. It felt like a production. You would not be able to know what's in store for you from the outside. This game was similar to "Puppet Heist" in the sense that it's not your typical escape room. This one was even more so like a video game. There are tasks that will need you to recognize pattern, test your memory and even agility! Most of the tasks is created by the evil doctor to see if you are worthy of becoming his new assistant so it's definitely not going to be easy. Although we did play the room with two people. If you had more people, that first task could definitely come much easier for your group. The Bureau Escape Rooms was working on a new game called "UFO: Go For Launch!" when we were there. From the looks of it, it's going to be amazing. We can't wait to go back to check them out when we're in town again!

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

There is a free parking lot in front of the facility. Keep in mind, your GPS might lead you to the front, but the parking lot is in the back. If you got to a building that looks abandoned, perhaps "travel agency" related business then you're at the right place. Huge lobby area with seating, great for large events. Both alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
