Summary: A good, immersive, moderate difficulty room for non-beginners. Puzzles: Many unique and fun puzzles. Puzzles were on theme. Immersion: Great set with mostly tech puzzles. Execution: A few fiddly tech and door locks. There was one ghost prop that caused confusion. It turns out the tech broke on that prop so they removed it from the puzzle but didn't remove it from the set. When we asked for a hint about it, we didn't get any response from the gamemaster. Group size: We barely finished in time with a group of 2. A group of 3 experienced may be better. Most of the room was non-linear except for the end.

The newer 60out rooms like Hyde seem to favor production value over puzzle quality. This room is all about an immersive experience. The set design and immersion factor in this room are AMAZING. The space is large, the props and decor are phenomenal, and the transitions are really interesting. The puzzles, unfortunately, are just so-so. They’re interactive, high-tech, and on-theme, but they are not especially challenging and it feels like you’re just going through a series of easy to figure out steps to complete an experience rather than actively figuring stuff out. We had the same feeling about Nautilus. I think Hyde is still a really good room and worth trying for the decor and experience alone. But don’t expect to be especially challenged. Good room for beginners.
