🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set design was exceptionally well-crafted. From the entrance office to the various rooms depicting Tesla's inventions, all lighting elements and music were of the highest quality.
The game featured intriguing hidden compartments that were revealed as we solved puzzles or triggered certain mechanisms, which was quite satisfying.
Clues were strategically placed throughout the escape room, resembling blueprints that aligned with the theme. There were minimal distractions, allowing participants to focus their efforts on solving the puzzles.
A dramatic moment, likely a point of pride for the room's designer, provided the final reveal. At this point, adrenaline was high as it was nearing the end of the game, making it the perfect time for such a significant twist.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
There is a puzzle that is exceptionally challenging to navigate. It would be quite difficult to solve with two individuals, and even with the assistance of our Game Master as a third person, it remained challenging. The visual element created by the prop is beyond our control and significantly impairs visibility. Unless this issue can be resolved, we recommend simplifying the puzzle, as it could prevent groups from completing the challenge in the allotted time.
Occasionally, upon completing a puzzle, a storytelling component is presented in the first room. It is challenging to return there promptly to fully engage with the story.
One of the word clues for a puzzle was quite perplexing due to the presence of another word clue for the same puzzle. The clue located further away was more comprehensible than the one closer. We suggest removing the closer clue to reduce confusion.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
As it currently stands, for two players, this experience resembles a 90-minute game. There are several puzzles that require a considerable amount of time, whether they involve physical maneuvers or logical thinking. Some puzzles are significantly easier than others, but those that consume the most time would benefit from either additional participants' input or more time. Nonetheless, we appreciated the concept, and the set design perfectly complements the storyline. We enjoyed interacting with the technological elements that aligned well with the Tesla theme, and there were certainly impressive "reveal" moments once puzzles were solved. This is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences at Conundroom Escape Rooms, so be prepared for a demanding challenge and to engage your mental faculties.
