Read all reviewsOperation Longbow is a top 20% room and now my #1 favorite in the Treasure Valley...

Set design (+ props): the very best currently in the Treasure Valley, and will be hard to top.
Mechanics, Tech, & Special Effects: the best and most elaborate currently in the Treasure Valley. Working tech is very important to the Labyrinth team, and I'm happy to report all tech worked perfectly.
Clue Distribution: one of the best I have encountered, very clever and hopefully maintainable. We didn't need to really use it, but it really fit the WWII theme well.
Searching: kept minimal, which is ideal, especially for veterans (thank you).
Puzzles: very logical and required little [if any] guessing. Excellent progression feedback. They were the perfect level of difficulty for beginner/intermediate players, but possibly too simple for veteran players and enthusiasts. That is a tough balance to strike for an ER, and I understand why they erred towards the easier side for this room. I'd love to see some development to allow for a quick-to-implement option to increase the difficulty here (my team of 4 got out in under 28 minutes with no clues).
Lighting: Dim, but not low enough to need a flashlight.
Bottom line is that this group took their vast experience, discovered what they liked and didn't like, and used that knowledge to build a terrific room that offers an excellent experience. I'd recommend this room as #1 for enthusiasts visiting the area, and would just caution local 1st timers to not expect the exact same level of excellence at most of the other local options.
We also did the 60 minute version of another one of their rooms called Revolution (they typically run this with a 30 min version of the room). Set design was excellent, use of tech/mechanics were great, clue distribution was unique and fun and fit the period perfectly, puzzles were mostly fun and unique, but their final puzzle I feel could use some more thought as that could definitely be improved upon and still keep the period authenticity they are hoping for.
If you're going to do a few rooms in the area, absolutely do Operation Longbow, but save it for last.
I'll for sure be back to try their Excalibur room that they expect to open in a couple months.
Description:
Inspired by our founding fathers, Revolution tells the story of Washington’s spies operating under the nose of the Redcoats. Players must use their wits and stealth to infiltrate the quarters of a British officer and retrieve information vital to the Revolution.It is the frozen winter of 1777. British troops, led by General Howe, have occupied Philadelphia and seek to crush the rebellious Sons of Liberty. The British will attack soon, but when and where?
General Washington’s spies, men and women known only as “The Six,” have conspired to steal the British battle plans before they attack. Somewhere in Howe’s quarters, the battle plans are hidden beneath layer upon layer of enigmatic puzzles and secrets.
Enter the hideout of The Six, and complete your induction into their ranks by proving you are clever enough to pull off the mission. Can you and your squad of would-be heroes solve the clues, join The Six, and steal the plans in time? The fate of the revolution and the future of our nation hang in the balance.
