REVIEW SUMMARY

Review
This was an incredible room.
I honestly am struggling a bit to review it based on how unique it is and the innovative technology used throughout.
This could be the best starter room for someone just getting into escape rooms and is suited, based on the theme, for teens
That being said it's still a blast for all ages.
So a bit of a set up, this room has roughly two to two and a half hours of puzzles to tackle. You are scored and you can break up game play into multiple sessions as they will note your progress so you can pick back up where you left off.
The puzzles are almost, for lack of a better description and since I'm a gamer; mini games. They are 5-10 minute puzzles of a wide variety all themed on classic fairy tales. So based on this approach to game play you can consider this room either linear or non-linear ... I could make an argument for both. What you cannot do however is work on multiple puzzles simultaneously.
The technology used to map the puzzles and keep you moving is genuinely remarkable. The coding that must have been used ... astonishing.
While I enjoyed this room and genuinely look forward to heading back to finish and play more games; not sure if this one was for me however, I think my teenage daughters would have absolutely loved this room. Seriously if you want to intro games to your kids and have teens who are into fairy tales; take them here. Based on the footprint and how the game plays, this feels like two to three people might best enjoy the experience.
One thing I am very excited for is we peeked into their WIP room for The Funhouse and I cannot wait to play this one. Very creepy and spooky vibes. The mentioned they hope to have this room open by the fall.
Highly recommend this location; great team and owner.
Story
So this is what it's like to be in a fairy tale
I imagined there would be more talking animals for some reason
I get that. I thought it would be more spontaneous songs but not hearing anything and I couldn't carry a tune with a backpack.
