The Room LA
Los Angeles, California
The Cabin: Dwight
has mommy issues. And daddy issues. And just issue issues. He’s insane. He’s a
cannibal. He wants to kill you. What else do you need to know? You gotta get
the hell outta here quick.
We have to admit that we are not the biggest fans of the
all-to-common “serial killer on the loose” or “locked in the basement of a
madman’s house” theme. But the Cabin was an excellent experience and highly
recommended.
Pros: The solid set design of the cabin not only
fit the theme perfectly but helped set the murderous cannibal ambiance. The
quality of some of the props alone caused me to stop and admire the work of the
set designers. Props to you, Ms. Puzzle Designer (pardon the pun). The puzzles
were logical and simple, but fun to solve. There was quite a bit of searching
but it didn’t feel monotonous or impossible with our group of four. We worked our way through the game methodically
and managed to escape without a single hint and setting a record. So we felt very
good about the overall game flow.
Cons: The puzzles
could be scaled a bit more in complexity. A few multi-step puzzles could add to
the challenge (especially in the last room). This might make the game more fun
for experienced players.
This is definitely recommended for beginners. Experienced
players will also love playing the Cabin. After all, when was the last time you
got to beat an insane cannibalistic serial killer? What’s that? You do that at
almost every other escape room you visit? Well even if you did it just last
week at that other escape room, it’s still worth our time to visit The Room LA.
