    I can see the potential for fun, but the housemate ruined it!

    I can see the potential for fun, but the housemate ruined it!
    So I got this for my 2 housemates for Christmas. My one housemate doesn’t like to play by the rules and just kept playing with stuff until it opened up. It’s infuriating. In our game the padlock on the small box was not locked and he just opened the second half of the game, rendering the first half of the game completely unnecessary. But if someone remains in charge and presents each puzzle along the way it will make for much more fun interactive gameplay. For less pressure, don’t use a timer. There is a hint book which is kind of cheating (again, my housemate went right to it when working a puzzle). Needless to say I won’t be playing an escape room game with him again!Some of the puzzles were pretty hard. There was little instruction. What instructions were there I found to have multiple meanings so it wasn’t always super clear. But this could have been because I never saw half the puzzles. My housemates solved them. So I couldn’t familiarize myself with each game.
