The Room - 9
Color has disappeared from the world and this room does a great job in conveying that! This was a unique experience and I appreciate MindFox's commitment to building an immersive and personal room. That said, this is a single room and so if you're looking for the "wow" factor that comes through setting changes and hidden doors, you won't get that in this one.
The Story - 7
It's a simple story about restoring color to the world, but you won't be unearthing how or why. This one isn't about the lore but it doesn't detract too much from the experience.
The Puzzles - 7
There were a handful of innovative puzzles in here! But I think our main gripes were with how a few were clear time sinks leading to one of us being like "alright, I'll need to be stationed here doing X for an extended time" rather than feeling particularly clever.
The Verdict - 7.7
Overall, this was a solid room. We went off of the coveted spreadsheet and agree that of the rooms in San Diego, this one along with MindFox's Moriarity are worth visiting.
We also want to give the folks at MindFox some extra love for being some of the most wholesome and accommodating GM's we've encountered so far! The whole staff claps when you escape and even give snacks! It also seems like most of the staff also had a hand (?) in creating the games and they engaged with us passionately about other escapes in the area. Definitely go out and support them if you're in town!
