We were excited to hear this franchise had new rooms, as we had done all of them at this point. We chose Mr. Eighties tonight. I was born in 1981 so the room decor was an immediate flashback to my childhood, even the lingo such as "tubular" and "radical." We got out fairly quickly but did have to ask for hints, one we shouldn't have needed and one was unnecessarily obscure. When it came to making the phone call I actually had the number right instantly however because the sound and background music didn't stop if I got the answer right, we couldn't hear the phone ringing. It wasn't until after 5 tries, asking for help, going through it all again, and talking out, that the tv and room music stopped and we realized the phone was ringing. Actually, after thinking harder on that, once the phone rang it gave a clue, since I had it correct to start, even if I couldn't hear the ringing, the clue should have still played but it never did. Also the rubix cube puzzle was entirely too much. We did Ask for a clue on it, but we couldn't hear over the music. While my friends were talking about what they saw, I couldn't hear over them & the music, or just the music combined. We had to ask for help a second time because nearly the whole clue we were given was lost in the music. I think the background music was cool, but overall it distracted from sounds and hearing clues. I feel like this was a small, fast room, with very little interaction and too much music. There is a sub game where you are given 80s clues to solve & win a prize, but again, I couldn't hear the clues half the time over the music and they only play one time. Meh. read more
