| - So, I've tried Jack's Cabin and Outbreak with several of my friends on two different occasions.
Pros:
Friendly, helpful staff
Lots of diverse rooms
Clean environment
Deals/discounts
Cons:
Poorly made escape rooms
Too much reliance on locks
So, I'll explain the cons. Basically, the clues are impossible to get because they don't make sense. They don't follow a logical pattern or the theme. It's very frustrating after you have to ask for help from the staff and they give you even more enigmatic hints and then more hints for that hint and you finally understand and it's like, what?? Both rooms were like that, and we were able to understand the second room somewhat because the same tricks were used in the 2nd one we did.
Also, in the lobby area, they have a bunch of different locks that you're supposed to practice unlocking because they have them in the rooms, which isn't a test of your brains. It just seemed silly to be stuck because you can't open to the lock. If you figure out the clue, then a door should open automatically like in other escape rooms I've done. Orrr, the locks should be the standard ones that we've all used throughout middle and high school. I don't understand what the point is of using those locks with letters and directions.
