Alla was an awesome host for the Sip & Paint for our hybrid group of in office and virtual folks. They literally felt like they were all in one room. This was our second Ryptic event and I hope to continue using them for future office events.

We just held our second event with Ryptic - they are great! Our University club is virtual, so these events help us to stay connected. We've done the paint night and the Office Olympics and the hosts from Ryptic are amazing! It's shocking to me how fast an hour and a half go by with Ryptic - we've had so much fun!

"I really enjoyed our host! She was entertaining without being invasive and quiet enough to let us talk if we wanted to without seeming distant. The paint kit was ok- the paints, canvas, paint dish, and easel were great. The brushes however were so cheap that as I painted, even with a light hand, the bristles were coming out of the brush into my painting. They also came bent so the bristles had to be straightened out before painting and they never really became fixed no matter how wet I got them. They were just bent and awkward and fall aparty. Also as an organizer 1 or 2 of my participants didnt get their package in time. Which was super sad because we gave plenty of notice and they had to watch the replay (luckily we were smart enough to record the session). Anyway over all it was great! Thanks again!"

"Overall the team really enjoyed the experience. Our host, Vic, was great - she played music in the background to give us some ambiance and was really encouraging to everyone. Several folks asked if we could do it again and even if there were options to switch up the mediums a bit like using oil paints, etc. Thanks for a fun event!"

Paint night was really easy to follow along which made the experience very fun for someone who hasn't painted since elementary school. Was pretty surprised at my own ability and how the host walked through everything and cheered us on. Will definitely be hanging this on my wall! PS: didn't get a paint kit because I'm outside of the USA

It was good, I'd be very happy to do another paint night. My only complaint was that I felt the "Detail brush"'s bristles were a bit too long, but that's super minor, and I should have used my own brush for that 🙃

My coworkers and I did the "Escape the Mad Hatter" room in Mountain View. This was most of our group's first time doing an escape room, including myself, and I really loved the experience I had. I don't remember our host's name, but he was friendly and kind and provided us the four hints we were allowed to ask for in a way that didn't give away too much. We were thrilled (and surprised!) that we completed everything with about three minutes to spare! Would definitely recommend this escape room to friends.

I enjo yed the session thoroughly. However, Zoom posed a little bit of a challenge. The screen kept flipping to various painters and not focused always on the instructor. So I had to toggle back/forth to the photo link of the object we were painting. Suggestion: If possible, place a 5x7" picture of the object being painted in the kit box. This way wealways have the photo guide in view at all times to reference. Overall, it was loads of fun.

"Great host/instructor (Alla). iffy paints (inconsistent thickness/dryness) and brushes (a little limp, dropping bristles), but I understand.Would have been good to have had instructions detailing "how to be ready to start right away", before getting on Zoom (e.g. water, napkins, etc.)I've never done something like this or a "sip and paint", but I tried it for something new, and I'm glad I did.Thanks again."

I thought the host was great. Vic was super patient and helpful. I liked that the paint kit came with the easel and a good sized canvas, but the brush quality was pretty terrible. The bristles were falling out uncontrollably even after the host recommended squeezing the metal and rubbing the brush hard to get any loose bristles out. I got too many bristles in the paint on my canvas and the brushes did not come to a crisp point, so I couldn't make the line shapes I wanted to. I liked the idea of a big zoom event, I just wish the quality of the materials were better. I thought it was cool to get primary colors to mix, but the paint quality was pretty bad and all colors had different consistencies. Next time I would suggest adding wood popsicle sticks to help get the paint out of the jars.

It was a blast and the team loved it. We'll be back"

this is the second time we've used Ryptic as a team. the first time was for a virtual escape room and we all had an amazing time with it. this time, it was for the paint session and we didn't quite enjoy it as much. The packaging was nice. the facilitator (Alla) felt impersonal and rushed- which is what mostly made the experience not as pleasant .

I felt a bit rushed to do my painting since there was many steps to tackle. Perhaps, offer sessions with options to select of a 1-3 hours time slots. I felt the instructor did her part to offer help and provided suggestion to complete the painting. The paint quality could be stepped up a level. I would suggest offering plastic squeezable tubed paint since it would be an easier application on the palette panel. Also provide a variety of paint brush size. I suggest for the company to pick better quality of brushes. The paint brush bristles were falling off on my canvas, constantly, when painting.
