📖 THE STORY
Rock 'n roll legends "Grit City" are starting their North American "The Destiny Tour" at the Tacoma Dome tonight, and you're attending as a VIP with backstage access. An hour before the show, the guitarist's lucky guitar goes missing, and the band won't play without it. Can you find the guitar before showtime?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The storyline of this game is very unique and meticulously crafted. The set design impressively includes a relaxing lounge for the band members, a recording studio, and more! Having played thousands of escape rooms, this stands out as one of the best music-themed rooms we've encountered.
The creator excelled in designing the room's "cluing." As you discover the props scattered throughout, you're sure to uncover hidden clues. The difficulty level is perfectly balanced, requiring thoughtful problem-solving to crack the puzzles.
We experienced several standout moments in the game, particularly when we recalled something from earlier and realized we could finally use it to solve the puzzle.
The game features a variety of creative puzzles using music industry-relevant props, which we thoroughly enjoyed. One of the sound puzzles might offer an advantage to those with music knowledge, but no outside expertise is necessary to solve any of the puzzles.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Having music soundtracks playing in the background would enhance the nostalgia in this music-themed room. Despite this minor suggestion, we thoroughly enjoyed the game.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
Get ready for an exhilarating adventure in this non-linear room! We highly recommend diving in with a "divide and conquer" strategy right from the start. The creator has packed an impressive array of puzzles into this 60-minute game, and we absolutely loved it! Each puzzle is logical and flows smoothly, making it a dream for enthusiasts who value clever challenges over high-tech gimmicks. As a music lover, this theme resonated with me in a special way, offering a refreshing break from the usual escape room themes. After you've warmed up with their easier game "Zookeeper," make sure to tackle this one—it's an absolute HIT!
