1: How easy was it to locate the attraction, park and navigate the premises? (25%)	9.5
2: How safe was the attraction? (30%)		8
This room start off very dark which could be an issue with two flashlights. Also there was a gate that did not sit on its track corectly and we lifted it to get under and it should have slid. They put it back on track but this could have been an issue as well. Finally there was a dip in the cement DJ booth that we all tripped on. Not major safety issues but could cause an issue.

Immersion
How well was the room detailed?	9.6
Looked like a futuristic club. not as much detail as stalked by a killer but it looked really cool once you turn the lights on.
How well did they use sound effects?	9.6
Again once the music is on it gets the room moving. The voice of the AI and interactivity was superb.
How well did they use lighting effects?	9.6
Lighting was good and played in with the puzzles and the AI.
How creative and original is the story?	10
Probably the most original story. A DJ goes missing causing the club to shut down. A group of people, us, goes into have a party and have to turn the club back on. In doing so we come across an AI that requests you fo things in the game. Your interaction with hi determine the outcome of the game…it was really interesting. Very Sci FI.

Everything flowed well.

Inside everything felt cohesive and we felt we were in this night club dealing with the AI.

Alot of fun the creativity and originality was a welcome experience.
