Company Kryptic Tales

Loved the Mars vibe and the way puzzles tied into the mission. We split up a bunch and then had those cool moments where everything clicked together. Only gripe: our GM dropped an unprompted hint over the radio that broke our flow. Still a strong room.

Pulled into a dark lot and saw parts of the lobby ceiling missing, so I braced for the worst—then the game itself was a pleasant surprise. Puzzles were straightforward and familiar, the set was simple and not scary, and it could use more atmosphere. Still, it was a fun run and perfect for families or first-timers.

Felt like a grab‑bag of puzzles. Some tech was cool, but the mission got lost and things didn’t always match the theme. Worked fine for our team of two; I wouldn’t want more than three in that space, which clearly started as an office.

Simple build and the theme isn’t the prettiest, but the puzzles were enjoyable. We did The Rosenburg Conspiracy, took only two hints, and still messed around, finishing with 13:36 left. Adam’s snarky comments cracked us up the whole game.

Our GM was a rockstar and even let us run a few minutes long, which took the stress off. Puzzles clicked nicely and we never felt stuck for ages. Not scary, more moody-lite. Great warm-up room.

Build quality felt cheap, but the puzzles were reasonable. My main issue was the GM, who sounded condescending and tossed in sarcastic, unprompted radio comments, which wasn’t great for our newbies.

Best game we’ve played at this venue. The mechanics felt smooth, the mission beats made sense, and Rachel was an absolute star on comms. We left grinning.

Really fun room and not very spooky at all. GM said we were the first in a while to finish with 10+ minutes left, and I did find the puzzles on the easier side. We only needed two hints near the end—would recommend for a trio.

Great pick for first‑timers. It’s very linear with a mix of mechanical and high‑tech puzzles, fun for a date, but enthusiasts may miss a strong story or atmosphere. Shout‑out to Adam for the jokes from start to finish.

Good bang for the buck. We breezed through most of it, asked for help on one sticky part, and finished with time left. If you want huge production, look elsewhere; if you want clean puzzles, this hits.
