Nah. Too much effort, and I already have cherry blossom-themed items around the house, so the hall will be the main one with it
Depends on the kit you mean. I've got $20 kits all the way up to $250, got my ex the typewriter kit
I've got I believe all the small flower kits, bonsai, some Minecraft themed ones, some Animal Crossing ones, The Great Wave, a scene one, and I believe some others I'm not remembering off the top of my head
Also some not-lego Pokemon ones

I love Legos. I tried really hard to go to a lego store not so long ago. It was closed when I got there though. :(

Oof that timing
]actually some if my kits might be higher than 250. Not that I remember tho
Yeah I got my bonsai kit, plus the typewriter, at a lego store
Sadly it's a few hours drive away so not worth for one person for maybe half an hour
The nearest "city" is an everything-shut-down-at-sundown and I work nights

I went to a mall in San Antonio Texas and they had a lego store there. It's a four hour long drive so if I go it'll be in celebration of something lol.

I think it's closer to three for me. Short enough to be a day trip, long enough that being alone...nah. Bring friends, have fun, especially since it's in a mall with a couple escape room places

There's exits if you run out of time or get too panicked and they have to guide you out
I did one with my ex and a friend of his that had a countdown in the form of the ceiling lowering. It reached a certain point it would stop but you'd be "crushed" (it stopped a bit over six feet, judging by the line)
My ex and I ended up teaming up and getting that down, it had two parts and the friend did not get it
Last part the one prop got stuck but we got it to work lol

I honestly just won't go to them until I suddenly stop being under the impression that someone's trying to abduct me.

My ex and a friend of his did one where they were trying to outrun a "dragon" and failed
There really isn't any consequence to failing, outside not finishing it
The one I did was exploring an ancient Egyptian tomb
The area had a couple others, one iirc being sci-fi themed
But hey if you don't wanna do it, that's okay
There's a similar vein but your not locked to a room or series of rooms that my ex and I did.
Spoiler
Famous pirate locked his chest and anyone who could figure out the clues would get his treasure. That meant wandering the area, into different themed sections, others playing different games. One was trying to find a lost "famous image". Every person/group is on a different game so while you can cooperate and help each other, there's also staff/characters to help. I somehow skipped seven steps in a clue and still got to the right area. And since I'm super pale and was dressed all in white, I had some ghost vibes going
Our main character was an intern, first day. He said he tried the clues, considered himself a bit of a pirate, and couldn't figure it out. Each game has a character who starts you off like that, and sometimes you need to seek them out. For instance, one of our clues was that "a pirate stole this number" and my ex was stumped. I remembered the internship mention of being a pirate and pointed it out, so off we went hunting for the guy. We found him in this one L shaped zone, which had an entry on both sides, helping another group out. My ex veered off to one and hoped I'd get what he was getting at: go in the other way and pinch the guy so we don't have to chase him down
It worked, and he wanted all the treasure. I don't know what the normal way to 'convince' him was cuz I threatened to bite him with a very unfriendly smile and I think I accidentally scared the poor guy, so he skipped over the convincing part and jumped to "okay I'll give it to you once you help me real quick", which was pretend to be ghosts to scare another character into giving him back the money he was owed. Later we cheesed a part because my ex could jump and I'm tall, which the guy was absolutely entertained by. Later on, after we'd left, we passed the place (both locations are in the same mall) and the intern was talling the guy up front that he's a vampire now LOL
