About the escape room
You are Gerard 'Gerry' Droller, a CIA Field Operative, your code name is Don Frederico and you work directly for the President of the United States, J.F. Kennedy. While going over your mission notes, you realize the world is facing a nuclear Armageddon. The Soviet Union, under Premier Nikita Kruschev, has strategically assigned ballistic nuclear missiles to the Cuban territory with approval from the Cuban leader, Fidel Castro. These missiles are located less than 100 miles from the U.S and are able to reach major cities with only a 4 minute flight time. The atmosphere is extremely tense!
An American spy plane has just been shot down over Cuba and the President is now under massive pressure from the Pentagon to launch an invasion of Cuba. The President, however, isn’t sure whether the plane was shot down deliberately by the Cubans or the Soviets, or if this was a terrible accident by a lowly soldier. If this was indeed an accident, there is no need to go to war, and a peaceful solution may still be possible. If this was a deliberate action, then the President has no choice but to launch a U.S. invasion of Cuba, which could result in a nuclear war.
Your mission is to infiltrate Fidel Castro’s palace, locate the secret KGB office, and find out who was responsible for shooting down the American plane. You are standing outside Castro’s palace waiting to hear that it is empty. You receive the all-clear. Castro’s bodyguards and the KGB are not on the premises. However, having entered the Palace, you receive word that Castro and his bodyguards are traveling back towards the palace, and they are only 60 minutes away! You must complete your mission and escape before you are caught! Solve the clues, answer the riddles, find the critical intelligence and get out within the hour. Rely on your intuition, have confidence in your team and leave no stone unturned! Remember: Your mind is your most powerful weapon and time is of the essence! Do you have what it takes to complete your mission?

AI Overview
AIPlayers consistently call it easy and better with fewer people. Enthusiasts tend to feel under-challenged and mention a thin or disjointed story. A few note logical leaps in puzzle design and compare it unfavorably to other rooms at the venue. One guest was put off by the “Cuban Crisis” naming.
WeaknessesSeveral guests call out logic gaps and puzzles that don’t fully track. Story integration feels light, and large groups end up idle. Some experienced players leave wanting more.
StrengthsBeginner-friendly pacing with quick wins and a straightforward flow. The spy theme and tense backdrop add flavor without overwhelming new players.
SecurityNo safety concerns noted in reviews; typical brief-and-go setup. Time pressure is the main stressor.
Level of fearNo scare elements mentioned; this reads as family-friendly and tension-based rather than horror. Suitable for kids who like puzzles and history vibes.
Actors' gameNo data on live actors or in-character hosts; reviews don’t mention any roleplay elements. Interaction seems standard for a classic escape room.
Quality of riddlesSkews easy, with a few steps some called guessy. Beginners appreciate the clarity, while veterans flag inconsistent logic. Overall feels like classic, straightforward puzzling.
PlotYou infiltrate Castro’s palace to uncover who downed the U.S. spy plane before time runs out. Strong premise, but several players say the narrative payoff feels thin in play.
Difficulty levelRated the easiest at this venue by staff per one review, so great for first-timers and small teams. Experienced groups may cruise through and crave more challenge.
