It seems as though Dr. X does not want the human race to survive. In Bio Hazard, you and your team must navigate through a room waist deep in puzzles, to solve the curious case of a scientist not willing to share his cure for a deadly disease that everyone desperately needs. While the room was decorated adequately, the puzzles made this room a bust. My experienced team had to use a hint each step of the way, culminating in a total of three hints to eventually exit the room. The required leaps of logic to solve these puzzles were the most unreasonable that I have come across to date. For the most part we were able to solve some part of every puzzle, but there were no directions or clues on how to use the information we had gathered, just lots of trial and error. One team may be able to guess how to use the numbers/letters in the right order to solve the puzzle, another team may not guess correctly. The abstract quality of these puzzles left a sour taste in our mouths. After questioning the staff member how one is supposed solve the puzzles using logic, we got the response, "I don't know because I don't design the rooms". This room was a huge letdown after going back because we had such a great time playing "The Black Room"! I would not give this room a high recommendation.
