📖 THE STORY

The Sultan of Agrabah is in danger and he needs your help! He needs a group of brave souls with pure hearts to enter deep into Agrabah. Rumor has it that besides priceless treasures, there's also a magic lamp. The lamp will be able to grant you any wish you desire and this might be the only way to save the people of Agrabah.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The set design is incredible. From the real sand on the floor to the gigantic doors that opens into an outdoor market place to the starry night sky, everything felt like movie production quality. Some rooms even provided the right aroma.
Just like a lot of scenes in Aladdin, the atmosphere felt playful. Most of the puzzles were designed to be game-like. You might even recognize a character or two throughout the experience.
Most of our memorable moments were towards the end of the game. I really didn't anticipate what was going to happen and then it happened! For a short period of time I felt like I was a 5-year old again.
The storyline was very clear and the game had a nice flow. I really liked how the game designer was able to make the player go a certain route or focus on a certain puzzle and not get distracted by anything else that's around them. The space is enormous, so the "guidance" was very much appreciated.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

It was hard to hear the hints through the speaker. The music might need to be turned lower or off when hints are given.
We missed the sound "clue" for one of the puzzles and wasn't sure what we had to do for one of the puzzles. Perhaps, if we can re-trigger the hint somehow on our own then it would help instead of having to ask for a hint.
The ending puzzle was also difficult to hear. Perhaps a print out of what was said would be helpful.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

I would probably categorize this room to be more of an adventure than a typical escape room. We had so much fun in the room that we forgot about time, what was happening in the outside world and even hunger! We felt like we were characters in a movie and each room was a different scene. The game masters were like the directors giving us "cues" on where to go next. Once we got there, we would have the freedom to explore and act out our part. If you are a huge Disney fan (like me), then you'll want to take a trip to this magical land in Agrabah!
