Curious -- what were the puzzles like? Do you remember any specific puzzles? I'm thinking of doing one but I don't know what to expect.

Edit: Not sure why downvoted, I'm genuinely curious of this person's experience. Is asking not allowed?

Generally you have to find the code to the lock, to open the cabinet, to get the key, to open another door ....

A sequence of puzzles which unlock the next step.

Puzzles like the code lock may be numeric, you may find a clue to the code as a sequence of colors, which you have to find the color key for (maybe it is split into parts and hidden around the room).

Sometimes it's as simple as finding a key. e.g. in the pocket of a coat hanging on the wall, or a note inserted into a book on a shelf. (Tearing the room apart to find objects is usually the best strategy!)

Some puzzles get a bit more clever than this but these are usually the foundation elements.

One I was at:

A constraint solving problem where you had a map with a grid and various clues gave you constraints like 'not within 2 squares of a bomb shelter'

A thermal imaging camera so you could detect which one of a set of 'sample containers' was warm and you should use the code printed on it elsewhere.

Combination locks where the combinations were given by giving the element names and you had to enter the atomic number (a table was on the wall)
