We decided to do this room (the only room open at the time) and as well we were offered to beta test their other room Entombed as well. Both Rooms are now open. After a short video introduction, we got straight into the room. The starting room is small but you'd expect that being a stylized dunny, but after that, there was plenty of room to do our stuff. Some interesting puzzles including physical locks but they didn't detract from what the r...
