I've
had
better
experiences
at
other
Breakout
rooms
on
the
island.
My
group
decided
to
tackle
the
Strange
Case
room
since
it
has
the
lowest
success
percentage
according
to
the
website.
Our
expectations
were
increased
by
one
of
the
staff
members
claiming
to
us
that
these
were
the
best
escape
rooms
in
the
state.
Once
we
started
playing,
things
fell
apart
pretty
quickly.
The
decor
and
theming
of
the
room
was
pretty
immersive,
but
the
accompanying
puzzles
felt
unpolished
for
the
most
part.
Some
of
the
puzzles
made
sense
and/or
were
gratifying
to
solve.
On
the
other
hand,
most
were
either
unintuitive
or
had
such
a
strange
solution
that
they
evoked
a
"seriously!?"
from
us
rather
than
a
sense
of
satisfaction.
On
top
of
this,
our
game
master
spammed
us
with
hints
way
more
than
was
warranted.
We
didn't
even
end
up
using
any
of
our
allotted
clues
since
we
got
a
free
hint
as
soon
as
we
spent
more
than
a
minute
thinking
about
any
given
puzzle.
By
the
last
15
minutes,
some
of
our
group
actively
started
ignoring
the
GM's
screen
to
avoid
the
unwanted
hints.
Also,
the
room
was
very
linear,
so
there
were
very
few
opportunities
to
break
into
smaller
groups
to
work
on
separate
puzzles
and
we
instead
often
found
ourselves
crowded
around
a
single
puzzle.
Overall,
it
was
a
below
average
escape
room
experience
due
to
the
quality
of
the
puzzles
and
the
excessive
amount
of
handholding
from
the
GM.
Will
be
returning
to
other
escape
room
establishments
for
future
experiences.
As
a
footnote,
the
website
advertises
a
discount
code
in
the
form
of
a
riddle.
Spoilers
ahead:
the
solution
is
in
the
form
of
Roman
numerals,
although
Alexander
the
Great
was
not
Roman.
We
should
have
taken
this
as
an
indication
of
the
quality
of
the
puzzles
we
would
find
in
the
escape
room.
