The Room - 9
Deviating from the traditional escape, this room is instead about getting a high score through finding and cooking recipes. There's so much to touch and interact with right from the get-go that it's easy to be overwhelmed on entry - we think this added to the immersion of a hectic kitchen. There were so many props and neat installations - we honestly feel a little bad for the staff who have to reset this room!
The Story - 7
Story isn't why you're here. This is a PUZZLE MARATHON! The premise of Overcooked (the game that inspires this one) is straightforward as a theme; I don't even think much more story was even needed and so I don't want to deduct any more points here. Fun fact - the theme from the video game loops throughout the experience.
The Puzzles - 9
There are some really clever puzzles in here! Some of the solutions were really rewarding to watch as well. The main annoyance was iPad interaction. Entry was frustrating and the interface was unresponsive at times. Plus, our game unfortunately crashed and all our recipes were reset. :(
The Verdict - 8.7
If you have 4 people, I think this would be a fantastic room to do. There's so much parallelism here that everyone might be busy for the full time. Some day we may even want to revisit this with a larger group to cook everything!
