🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • The storyline was followed through with the change in scenery of the set design. What seems like a normal apartment on the outside will later turn into "The Cyclist's Lab".

  • The hint system played into the character.

  • The puzzles had a nice flow and were sticking to the storyline.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Some decors and clue papers in the room needs updating.

  • For players that does not like Math (I actually don't mind them), be prepared for a bit of challenge.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This room is a basic gen 1 room as the owners build all of these in house with not so high of a budget but definitely with care and love. They are enthusiasts themselves and Time Trap was actually one of the first escape rooms to open in the area. I do think there's potential in terms of unique ideas but for enthusiasts that have played hundreds of rooms, we would like to see some upgrades to room quality to catch up to the current market. The puzzles were traditional ones you might seen in a lot of escape rooms. If you only care about the puzzle aspect, they do have a room called "The Box" where all you do is open locks on boxes that are full of puzzles. Make sure to check that review as well and if you want to know what they are like before making a decision, check out our tour video above!
