My Only complaint would be that because the BF and I like things done in a methodical manner and not out of order, it was hard to keep track of what other people found and where they found it, which contributes to confusion. The Heist puzzle room consisted of too many lock codes. I would have preferred more riddles, color scheme puzzles. At the end, the puzzle room was solved - with occasional clues dropped off in intervals.
