📖 THE STORY
For decades, the St. Louis Mine has been used for its mineral resources. But one day, a big explosion killed all the workers inside and since then, there has been no real explanation about this accident. A mining company has recently managed to reopen the mine, claiming its goal is to take care of the bodies of the victims stuck inside and restart mineral exploitation. But according to experts, this mine should be running out of minerals soon, which is very suspicious. Some rumors about a precious and rare mineral located inside the mine started to emerge. You and your friends have been recruited to investigate this, but you only have 90 minutes because a landslide is about to condemn the mine.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set of the room is absolutely stunning: you really feel like you are inside a REAL mine (you are asked to come with comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty), there are many areas to explore, with special effects that make this experience unique.
Plenty of realistic actions to perform during the game. You will feel like a real mine worker, which is pretty satisfying!
The puzzles are not very hard and you will keep a dynamic pace throughout the game.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
I don’t really see any drawback in this room sincerely… well if I have to say something then I would say that the storyline could be enriched a bit. But to be honest there is no impact on the experience you are about to experience.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
In my opinion, "La Mina" should definitely be on your bucket list if you like immersive escape rooms that make you feel like you are on an adventure! The riddles are not too hard, so it is beginner friendly (but if you haven’t done a lot of escape rooms before, starting with this one may set the bar very high for your upcoming rooms and you may feel
disappointed by other rooms afterwards). The game masters are very nice and friendly, and of course: you can ask to play the room in english, just mention it when you book the room.
