Passcode Escape Room does a fantastic job of really using the space they have to their advantage. I can imagine that they probably can't do much actual physical work to the rooms or layout of the offices they have at their place, but man, do they do a fantastic job of transforming them into a wonderful experience. The Detective's Office is a fun romp through the typical Detective Office landscape that you're likely used to if you're a vet to the scene. If not, then you usually are either placed directly into the office, or slightly outside, and are tasked with finding something to clear the detective's name before time runs out. Definitely the case here, as well. The story wasn't very original, but the puzzles picked up where the story drops the ball. There are a couple puzzles that you just will not find anywhere else. They're so unique to this particular room that they just can't be replicated, and I love that, no matter how troublesome it could be trying to make them do exactly what you're trying to do. I don't like safes in escape rooms. As excellent as they are at doing exactly what you want them to do, they put an artificial gate on the game that forces your players to stop everything they're doing, waste 5 minutes if they get timed out, and possibly (depending on the safe), permanently lock them out for the rest of the time without a second chance. The ending of the game had both my wife and I wow'd. It does something really unique that again, really couldn't be done anywhere else and we were so excited to be able to do exactly what was described. While the initial launch into the game is rocky, and some of the puzzles leave a little to be desired on their usability, I'd still recommend The Detective's Office over many many other rooms, any day. It's a great hour you'll spend in a quality room. I can't wait to see what they do next.
