Read all reviews"Dead End," in what it gained with its dark atmosphere and excellent attention to interior design and sound effects, was actually lacking in clue diversity. Most of the clues were tied to numbered or lettered locks, which (although providing some embedding of the "death lab" theme) didn't really stretch the imagination in terms of problem-solving.

What we enjoyed was the "webbed clue" format of the room, in which several elements can be simultaneously completed to arrive to the conclusion (allowing for groups to split-up and solve individual cases) instead of following a linear path.
The ending was extremely clever and well-respected. Overall I found it to be clever and well-designed. I've been to 10 such locations and consider Escape Expert to be one of my favorites.
