📖 THE STORY
Guess who’s back from Jamaica just in time for the holidays? It’s your favorite boss! After missing last year’s Christmas party, the office is sparing no expense to welcome him back. The decorations are up, the snacks are ready, and there’s just a few last minute things to wrap up. Can we finish first before Pam dashes off to the airport to grab him (That’s what she said…)?
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
For any fans of the TV show, "The Office", there are so many references and easter eggs for your enjoyment with many key props all around such as the reception desk and Pam’s painting.
All the puzzles were signposted well that we had no issues knowing what puzzles belonged to what lock.
There was a playful ending that wrapped things up and gave us a solid conclusion.
There were a few puzzles that required dialing a phone number and listening to the response. They did a great job ensuring the audio could be heard all around the room.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The room feels a little worn and had some lockboxes that felt unnecessarily large that it took away from the immersion.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
As fans of the show, "The Office", we had a blast in this escape room. There were so many clever nods to the show everywhere from the look to the subtle references through the puzzles. There was plenty of searching which kept all of us busy from start to finish. The puzzles were well paced and flowed making some satisfying solves. With our group of four it felt about right with the space size and ensuring no one was left out. This would be a great room for escape room beginners or someone who was looking for an excuse to say “Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica” in the middle of an escape room.
