The Room – Room Omega: ROOM CLOSED
Description (from the company website): Professor Stanley, known for his theory of time travel, disappeared inside his own office three days ago. His students said he was about to publish new findings on multiple time dimensions. As his closest friend, you’ve decided to find out the truth of Professor Stanley’s mysterious disappearance. Pay attention to any clues related to time, otherwise the same thing could happen to you…
Difficulty (1-10): 6/10
Time Limit: 60 minutes
Cost: $27.99 + tax per person
Identifier: R1
Party Size: Up to 8
Staging Area: The lobby is up a flight of stairs and has a small number of couches and tables.

OUR EXPERIENCE
Logistics:
Description of the room: A small office… nothing too memorable.
Understanding of the Mission: Find out what happened to Professor Stanley before you disappear without a trace.
Did We Escape: yes
Time Remaining: don’t remember… 11 minutes?
Our Suggested Party Size: we had 6 and that was plenty.
Did the room challenge the entire team? No
Members of our team (other than the ERG): Melissa, Jess, and Jen.
Worth the time and money? Unfortunately, we had to give this one a “no,” and we had a Groupon to discount the price.
Where to Eat/Drink Before/After: It’s Adams Morgan, so there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Here’s where we went:
- Roofer’s Union – we stopped in for a few drinks.
