I wanted to really like this, and I was excited going into it, but it needs some work. When you first enter you're given a wristband that you use throughout the attraction, and they ask you to register on a tablet. It was only my wife and I, so when we were done registering we followed the arrows to the main door and opened it. Someone rushed to us (they weren't in the registration room) to tell us the rules, etc. Why didn't they tell us to wait after registering?
At this point the experience begins. Within each room are stations where you tap your wristband on a reader to register yourself to a particular item. Whether it's an exercise bike or a bathroom stall, at times it was a lesson in futility trying to get the wristband to register on the reader. For example, in the exercise room my reader was wobbly, so you have to be careful not to press down too hard to break it off the bike, yet you kind of need to in order to hear the beep. Once you start playing there's some decent humor at times, but the execution is a bit janky. The room where you have to answer "would you rather" could have been fun, but there was no rhyme or reason to it and all I saw was a rabbit being electrocuted if I selected a 'wrong' answer. Uhh, ok?
In-between the experiences are hallways you enter and wait until the light above the next door turns green. With only two of us we would enter a hallway and...wait for the door behind us to close, which can take some time, and then you move forward. It's a boring way to break up the main rooms.
Once we were done you can download your photos, but they don't make it easy. There's also a bank of security screens which is cool, but I had no idea if we were supposed to hit the buttons underneath (we did, nothing special). When we entered the main store after finishing there were at least three employees and no one said anything. We walked by them and back out into the main area of Area 15. Um, ok? Maybe if you had a large group it'd be more fun, but I'm not about to try again.
