We beta tested The Lair of the Puzzlemaster and had an amazing time. A lot of escape rooms give you a theme and/or a story and you just open a bunch of locks. Not this room. From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in the storyline!! Even the conclusion of the room--something I have only seen a couple times. It's not just punch a six-digit number into a keypad! A couple of the puzzles I have seen before but most were original. The owner has done over 140 rooms himself and you can tell that he brought the best of his experiences together.
Which leads me to the staff. Amazing staff which makes the entire experience a lot better. A couple escape rooms in town leave a lot to be desired. This staff is friendly and engaging! They were funny and wanted to make sure we enjoyed ourselves from start to finish.
The room wasn't completely finished when I went as it was the beta test. I'm actually contemplating repeating the room just to see the finished product. I also cannot wait to see the other two rooms they are working on!
