Room Escape Live
North Hollywood, California
Zodiac Killer –
Based on the real-life story of the notorious zodiac killer, you have to try to
solve the mystery before you become its next victim.
Zombie Lab – A
zombie outbreak. A secret cure. A very limited time before you become just like
one of the many dead characters of The Walking Dead. You know what you have to
do.
We have reviewed Room Escape Live before and we definitely
recommend it. They presently have six games and in our experience they are all
great fun to play. This review is specifically for the rooms Zodiac Killer and
Zombie Lab.
Pros: Both rooms
are meticulously designed and created to reflect the theme and storyline. The
high quality props and solid construction of the rooms is what we have come to
expect from Room Escape Live and they definitely did not disappoint in both
these rooms. The puzzles are always logical and aligned wit the theme. The game
masters are professional, attentive and ready to help at a moment’s
notice. This is a thoroughly
professional establishment in every respect.
Cons: The puzzles
are complex. We need lots of hints every time we come to Room Escape Live. That
is not always a problem. We have no ego issues in asking for hints, but we do
like good game flow without interruptions. A few more guideposts to help
players through the process could eliminate the frequent need for hints. We
found ourselves at a complete loss on some of the puzzles, especially in zodiac
killer. Since that does not usually happen to us, and we assume that beginners
would really struggle, we suggest that they just offer a few more signals in
the room to help guide players to the solutions.
You really cannot go wrong playing at Room Escape Live. So
just do it. You know you want to.
