@JennyENicholson Insane. It's not an escape room where they explicitly tell you NOT to take pictures. This is an experience that BENEFITS from pictures and videos to create hype. There's no way that's accurate

@JennyENicholson Like 8 years ago I bought Sherlock Holmes on Blu Ray and the digital code that came with it was expired I wrote WBDigital that having a poison pill as an integrated part of their product is like gouging me for Coke when I have a faucet that I can turn on for free
