Read all reviewsThis was my 21st visit to an escape room, and Codebreakers did a decent job with their room "Return to Planet Earth". We had to restart an alien spacecraft and get it back to Earth within the hour, completing puzzles and accomplishing tasks that required teamwork and pattern-recognition. The puzzles were challenging, but once we figured out the patterns, it wasn't terribly difficult. We did our job with 10 minutes to spare, requiring one fairly big hint along the way.

While there were some great elements to this room, there were a few kinks that need to be worked out. Some of the markings on the props are faded and can lead to some confusion over what they are. Also, they need some hint system. When you ask for a hint, your game-master comes into the room to help, which greatly takes away from the experience. Maybe a walkie-talkie?
Overall, this wasn't a bad room. Pros: Puzzles and cost. It's $25 a person which is a fair price. And the puzzles were challenging yet fair. Cons: Hint system and faded props. Simple fixes though, really.
You shouldn't need more than a group of 4 for this room, and Codebreakers is opening up a second room in the Spring. I'll be back.
