Reykjavik Escape: Prison Break

Despite claiming only a 35% success rate, this room was straightforward and very linear. There wasn't really enough to do for three. We ended up needing two clues but both were frustrating. The first we solved immediately but the lock was stiff and didn't open. We spent about another fifteen minutes trying to solve, including saying over and over what we thought the answer should be and how it did not work. There was no input from the games master until we asked for a clue which revealed the first solution we tried had been right all along. The second involved something that had missing/ broken parts so we assumed it couldn't be used but we were supposed to use it anyway. Not sure if the games master was running multiple games or didn't have the technology to see/hear what was going on but it felt like a nudge from a more proactive games master would have massively improved the experience.
