The Room - 10

Talk about immersion! This one had a lot of ground to cover. Ambient audio and architecture transports you straight to Colombia. Real props litter the space and take you to that 1993 time period as well. This room is very tactile and requires you to do a lot more than just punching in a combo or unlocking a door. Get ready to interact and fiddle!

The Story - 9

A good room usually goes hand-in-hand with a good story. Drug bust is a common theme but this room added some twists and lore. We only wish that there was a little more cohesion with some of the "why's" behind puzzle solutions.

The Puzzles - 8

Overall, solid puzzles. The flow of the room was easy to follow and there weren't too many "gotchas." The point deduction here is because there were a couple discovery-heavy situations that felt like busy-work (perhaps suiting a larger group) as well as a couple of solutions that were underwhelming.

The Verdict - 9

A fantastic room well worth the visit. We still think back on this one from time-to-time and the visuals of this space live rent-free in our heads. Plus a portion of the proceeds go to GRYD (Gang Reduction and Youth Development)!
