WeaknessesSometimes stuffy, lacking AC; dead flashlights and finicky radios show up. Hints can be either pushy or unavailable; variety and cleanliness dip in places. Some find the tasks samey and too code-centric.
StrengthsStrong, on-theme Da Vinci logic puzzles: paintings, mirrors, mechanisms, cryptex—everything to the point, no extra fluff. Caring admins and neat decor are often noted. Works well for families and small groups.
SecurityBriefing and comms are provided before the start; overall safe. Downsides: stuffy spots and occasional dead batteries in equipment.
Level of fearNot scary at all—it’s a pure puzzle room. Kids 8–10 usually enjoy it, though some teens may miss the drive.
Actors' gameNo live actors; contact is mostly via the host on the radio. When the shift is attentive, hints are gentle and on point, but there are lapses—from silence to premature advice.
Quality of riddlesFair, logical puzzles, lots of ciphers, mirrors, and secret compartments, with working mechanisms. At times there’s an overemphasis on numbers and codes; almost no physical tasks; the finale can bottleneck. Veterans will appreciate the coherence; variety-seekers may want more breadth.
PlotThe story revolves around Leonardo’s secrets and clues hidden in artworks, progressing room to room. The plot is background, but the period atmosphere comes through.
Difficulty levelDifficulty is medium trending hard: tough for newbies without hints. Experienced teams finish in about 40–60 minutes.
