A lot of the locks are the same and it’s rarely clear which number goes into which lock, so you have to try the same number into multiple locks before you find the right one. The fact that it’s very unclear where to even begin means a lot of time is wasted at the beginning too. Not all of the puzzles are clear where to go after you solve it (especially the early puzzles), which also wastes time. Overall, the game and puzzles get better the further you go (I liked the last 3-4 puzzles), but the first few puzzles could use some direction. Some more variety in the puzzles would have been nice too.

The set design of this room is very impressive! It really looks like an old school diner. The details are fantastic, from the booths to the checkered floors. The flow of the puzzles in the room are well designed. Highly recommend!

This game was so-so. The set design was okay but things like the oven were in bad shape. The locks at Quicksand need to be replaced, as well. We did enjoy the game for the most part. Our game master, Alexis, was super friendly. She made our overall experience much better.

We completed with 2 people, but it definitely tested relationships. Lots of moving pieces and lots of locks. We found some of the items to not be fully reset and some clues were a bit vague to make the connections. We liked the theme and did have a good time. But at times it was a bit of a challenge with the ticking clock and trying to match the lock with the clue. They did have unique puzzles and we did find aspects to be creative.

A good room for beginners. Theming was good but not amazing. A lot of old school physical locks, nothing really techy at all. One of the frustrating parts was that some of the puzzle solutions did not flow. You would find a code and have no idea where to use it as the two puzzles would be completely unrelated. It wasn’t too many puzzles that had that issue but still something to keep in mind

Gameplay

The flow was a bit confusing. Some puzzles would not give you any indication of where the solution needed to be used.

I just love the charm of this game. It’s fun for beginners to get into escape rooms, but is also a fun one for experienced players because of the atmosphere. I know it’s not regarded as the most incredible game ever made but Diner holds a special place in my heart! Got out with a team of 3 and still sometimes think back on how cute and fun it was

Not one of our best experiences, i think this is a really good room if you’re just getting into escaping, but enthusiasts may not be wowed. I was super excited for the diner theme and that lived up to my hopes, it really does feel like youre in a 50’s diner but i feel it could a facelift. Theres also A LOT of physical locks and a lot of guessing which code goes to which lock, theres not a good flow of the clues leading to the locks they go with.

Gameplay

There was absolutely no flow to the room, there are so many physical locks that are all the same so you just have to guess which lock to put the code in. Very non linear, but also has a lot of things that didnt lead to anything.

Atmosphere

Definitely felt like you were inside a 50’s diner, but everything also felt like its was from the 50’s and really worn down, not sure if thats the vibe they were going for or if the room is just aging, it was still a neat room.

Customer service

I wish there was a sideways thumb, we weren’t treated poorly but the lady definitely wasn’t enthusiastic. We didnt even get her name πŸ˜‚ kind of just not a welcoming environment.

Would consider this a 2nd Gen room, quite a few number puzzles, but the story was good, the atmosphere was awesome and we felt good about figuring out the puzzles. A couple good twists and turns as well. Want to definitely try other rooms here
