Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I've played a few escape rooms lately and this one is NOT worth the price. It's ultra short. Riddles are too easy and the whole game is just not enough comparing to other escape room games.”
“Played in 2 player co-op in VR online. I've played through most of this companies games and this was the worst experience so far, which stinks because I was looking forward to it the most. Each of the 3 short levels had at least one puzzle…”
