Definitely one for small, experienced teams. The first half, maybe even 3/4 of the room is linear. We always had at least two people just sitting around doing nothing. 

The puzzles themselves range from “fine” to “pretty good”, and there’s some REALLY lovely special effects for the horror aspects, but the signposting is awful. Not illogical, it makes sense in retrospect, just some leaps. 

The decor is really nice, same high quality as all the other rooms from this company, really excellent immersion, but the attempts at a storyline don’t quite work since you’re just standing round a TV trying to hear what’s being said. 

I don’t like criticising GMs, because we all have bad days at work, but I’m assuming the monitoring system in the room wasn’t the best.
