This was the first escape room I had ever done from Off the Couch Games. It is one of their older rooms so it does not age as well compared to newer escape rooms unfortunately. The premise is that engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla has passed away and left his Inheritance to anyone that could unravel the secrets of his latest invention. Of course that is going to be you!
The theme and ambiance was okay and it largely was due to the nature of the story that it couldn’t have been more unique. The puzzles were more on the difficult side, so I do not think it was easy at all. Compared to modern escape rooms, this room could use some work to improve their experience.
What it comes down to is whether or not you find puzzles or experience more important for escape rooms. This room has puzzle difficulty, but is not story-driven or theme ambiance. If you want to try out escape rooms at this company, I would recommend trying one of their other rooms.
