Clock Tower

If I could rate lower, I would, mostly because of the GM. Across more than a hundred rooms, I’ve never seen a mix of arrogance and indifference like this, and it felt like he was juggling multiple rooms and the front desk while ignoring us. We spent 15–20 minutes yelling for help, got nothing until the end, then were scolded about hints being at his discretion. The final math puzzle dragged withou... Expand

Room was engaging and mostly non‑linear with interesting puzzles, but there was no reliable way to request hints. With a 25% success rate, we reached the last couple puzzles and just needed a nudge, yet the GM’s discretionary approach left us spinning our wheels. We couldn’t even get basic clarifications and skipped booking a second room because of it.

Hugely disappointing because of the GM. We were warned hints were at their discretion, then left waving for twenty minutes on the final puzzle with no help. The solution hinged on switching time bases with zero cluing, and the post‑game explanation was wrong before it was corrected. The room mixed janky with fun, but the GM made it an easy thumbs down for us.

I’d rate this lower purely based on the GM. We were told help would come around the 10‑minute mark, but it took 20, and we burned 30 minutes in the first puzzle. After that we cruised, yet the GM remained unhelpful and occasionally rude, which soured the whole thing.

Wildly creative set pieces and a non‑linear flow that kept eight of us busy the whole hour. We needed a couple nudges, but when the room sang, it really sang. One of the mechanisms was pure magic. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Loved the theme and the sheer amount to do, but the hint delay cost us momentum. With so many inputs, the notification chime was easy to miss in the chaos. Still a fun, meaty challenge for a large group.

This room had real potential, but the control room reeked of weed and the staff sounded baked, which meant hints sometimes took up to ten minutes. The solutions themselves were novel and the space immersive, yet I can’t recommend it for families given the oversight.

We were a work group, a few folks arrived three minutes late, and staff said it was fine—but the clock had already been running for five minutes when we entered. That missing time was the difference between escaping and not. It left a bad taste despite an otherwise decent room.

Did this as a team of two and I’d only recommend that if you’re experienced and comfortable taking hints. We barely made it. The puzzles are challenging, and if you do steps out of order there’s no feedback that you’re right until another trigger happens first.

The clockwork look is great, but the early flashing screen gave me a headache and the countdown had already started before we fully entered. Between that and slow help, the fun wore thin fast. Not my pick for sensitive players.

Beautiful build, but the puzzles felt illogical and our experienced team needed a stream of clues that came out of nowhere. Several steps felt like we were breaking the set, and some tech misfired. With a fresh puzzle pass, the room could be salvaged, but as is, it’s not a great time.

Absolutely massive room with activity after activity; we almost didn’t make it, not because it’s brutally hard but because there’s just so much to do. It’s exciting from start to finish and shines with a larger group.

We tackled it as a duo and squeaked out with seconds left. Order‑dependency tripped us up because success isn’t always obvious until another trigger fires, but the highs were worth it. Tough, satisfying room if you’re comfortable asking for hints.

I do a lot of Orlando rooms and this hangs with the inventive ones there. The puzzles are involved and creative, and the theming is excellent. It was a standout for me.

Puzzles ranged from clever to head‑scratchy, and the final time math felt needlessly opaque. Our GM stuck to the whole “at my discretion” thing and left us hanging too long. Cool room, middling experience.
