Mystery Mansion Regina: The Detective’s Office

We had never done an Escape Room before, and did this with a small group of people that didn't know each other well. We liked that it was more interactive than your typical 'point and click' experience, and the tips were helpful as well (for newbies that were a little out of their depth!). Thank you!

Very basic room - probably better in person. Wasn't hugely impressed by the avatar who seemed a bit lack lustre and basically gave us a lot of the answers which was frustrating.

A pretty run of the mill game.  The set is just an office, with nothing really imaginative or unusual about the design.  We found the way that our avatar was filming was fairly annoying--she had to keep putting the camera down every time she needed two hands, so we didn't actually get to see a bunch of the action.  Also, because she was carrying the camera around, there was a fair amount of swooping about, which was a bit nauseating.  There were some clever puzzles and elements in the room.  But the most frustrating part was the ending was a big "ho hum".  This is apparently intended to be the first of 4 related rooms, so the end result moved the story forward, but not to a very satisfying conclusion.

Your standard dectective breaking into an office to retrieve items story but is a chapter of a bigger overaching story (which will hopefully be converted into a remote livestream room soon. 
We had some problems with the avatar who appeared to be nervous, mix this with a head mounted camera and we either saw the area above what we wanted to see, or we sea sickness due to the amount of movement. I listened to the room more than watching it as if affected me quite badly. We also played when the sun was streaming through the window, and as most of the gameplay requires the avatar to fac this window then seeing the room was a bigger challenge than it should have been due to the camera trying to focus in the face of bright light.

But aking thiese issues out of the game this is a good solid room with good theming and the gameplay flows well,
