100% on the promotion of this. I don’t know how people would pay for this long and expensive experience with so little information. Of course, I guess that’s where reviews come in. I loved the surprises of this room.

When you’ve played many rooms, including the premium rooms around the country, it is hard to be gobsmacked. While this game needs refinement, there was an extended moment where I felt the same feeling I had as a 9 year old visiting Disneyland for the first time. No words can do justice to the indescribably sense of awe, wonder and beauty.

We did not get a briefing on the backstory and I did not read anything on the website indicating the nature of the theme. Based on my interpretation of the Title I suspected we would be shopping for used clothes or dealing with a fashion based game. Very uninteresting to me. Thankfully, the game was nothing like I expected. However, if the Title was “Armoire for sale” I would have had more of an interest in booking the game as a mystery of the armoire being a portal to something special.

Normally, I too like to wait for a room to be beta tested, refined and ready for prime time before I play it since you only get one time to have that best experience. During this tour we played more than one game that was not fully refined and while I know the games will be better for those that play in the future, I was glad to have played them on the tour because the creators of the rooms were involved with our experience. Add in the backstage tours and explanations on the features of these rooms makes the experience that much better – only available when you go on tour with REA. There is no better way to do an escape room!
