Company: Escape Room Herndon
Room Title: Mary in the Black
Location: Herndon, VA
Team Size & Requirements: 6-10 people - you must book the whole room if you don't want others to join you.
Price: $28 per person
Difficulty: 6.25/10

Theme Key Words: black and white, color, scientist, lab
Theme Details (from company website) and Rating:
Mary, just like yourself, is a scientist who'd been a captive since birth inside a secret scientific facility solely to investigate the world in black and white. She knows everything there is to know about the science of color, but has never experienced color itself. Now Mary has gone missing, but she left behind a note for you that's led you into this lab. You've created a distraction at the other side of the facilities to occupy your captors. Now you have 60 minutes to find out what happened to Mary and get out before your captors realize what's going on. A great room for your beginners and younger explorers, but its not easy by any means. Recommend for 6-10 players.

Theme Rating: 4/5

Why We Loved It:
*GREAT differentiation of puzzles/clues
*clues are on a monitor prompted by the game master that is watching you, meaning they know EXACTLY where you are in the game and can help you! (aka: no waiting around or explaining to them)
*theme was intentional and well-thought out

Need to Know:

*some puzzles are quite challenging or unclear how you're supposed to solve it- don't be fooled by the "beginner" title of this game
*some locks were a little sticky/hard to turn - be very precise on what numbers are where on the locks
*the clues/puzzles were more linear, making it so we were waiting for one "team" to solve the puzzle to get to the next step

Clue Preservation? (do you need to keep everything in order to escape?): NO
Handicap Accessible? YES
Is It Worth Playing? ONLY FOR BEGINNERS - A MUST FOR THIS COMPANY!
Did We Escape? YES
Overall Rating: 4.2/5
