Lock Down Escape Exit Games: Death Row

On Death Row

I got a voucher for this room on Living Social. I can't turn down a deal!

Story

Banged up for a crime you didn't commit and sentenced to death, escape prison before you're sent to the electric chair.

Puzzles

Very tricky: I was heavily reliant on hints. I felt there may have been one or two that were impossible to solve without a nod in the right direction. The variety wasn't amazing, either. I'm not a fan of a surplus of maths-based problems...especially when you're not supplied with a pen and paper! I remember getting stumped on puzzle after puzzle, waiting for clues almost every time. I'm tempted to say this room was too hard.

Mise-en-scène

Including different sections of the escape (from the cell to the Green Mile to the electric chair) was a nice idea, but the execution (haha) could have been better. I was getting room-full-of-tacky-props vibes. I'm also not quite sure why we ended up in the electric chair room when our goal was to get out of jail.

Final Comments

Although our time was up, we were allowed to finish the room. This isn't one for small teams, and it's certainly not one for newbies.
