PanIQ Escape Room has been around in the San Jose for a long time. Many of their escape rooms would be considered part of the first generation type. Perfect Crime was one of the more recent ones I had done because I wanted to give it a try. The room did not age well at all unfortunately. The premise is that you are investigators tasked with solving the mystery of murder of an aristocrat.
It may be due to the theme, but the decorations were lackluster. The story was uninspiring as we were just thrown into the room and that was it – no introduction at all. One of the main puzzles that stopped us from progressing did not even work and when we alerted the game masters, the communication device was shotty and led to them entering the escape room just to let us know the puzzle was broken. Once the room “ended,” there was no real in game indicator letting us know that it ended. The door was opened and that was it. The experience was not great at all and I would not recommend this room to anyone.
