The Room - 10
Wow. This one feels like a set straight from Stranger Things. Love the attention to detail here and dedication to the theme. The retro gadgets and references are accurate and it's clear a lotta love and research went into crafting this room.
The Story - 10
The room does an excellent job of "show, don't tell" as you unravel the mystery. Excellent use of sound to create atmosphere. We think the story is the main highlight so this is another one that we're not going to say much more about!
The Puzzles - 9
Note that they had a hard and an easy version (we went with the hard one, of course!) Puzzles were solid and feedback from technology was satisfying and responsive. The room was fairly linear however; most puzzles were done together as a team since there was nothing else to focus on. Not the worst thing, but it might get a bit stale with larger groups.
The Verdict - 9.3
This one was our sleeper hit of our day in LA. At a first glance, we weren't convinced by the appeal of the theme but we were happily proven wrong by this spectacular room.
