That’s not the whole story but I have definitely called it f***ing stupid. I don’t get angry when it’s stupid puzzles. I get angry when puzzles are unfair but escape rooms double down by saying it’s just “challenging”. Like puzzles that are entirely colored-based and they make the room dark with one poorly-functioning flashlight to make it “difficult”. That’s not “challenging”. That just makes us struggle for no reason. Or like with Omescape where they made things ambiguous and told us we just have to review our math skills. Like seriously? That’s when I get angry. Escape rooms are for our entertainment, not to stroke someone’s ego about making a room “challenging”
Testify!
