The Nest [Immersive Theatre]
Hatch Escapes
Escape room

I’ve experienced The Nest twice. Once when it was in the creator’s backyard shed and once years ago (2020?) when it moved to its new location. It’s now under ‘new management’ so to speak so I don’t know how it’s changed in terms of being an escape room. When I went, it was a piece of art. Not a room to try to win or escape from. Art with a beautiful story and production design that made you want to stay in there forever. There are elements of unlock this padlock, etc but it’s to uncover more of a story. Not get out of a room. Long story short - go to The Nest.

Meow Wolf has a story within that you can not, will not, nor should not find it all in one visit. It’s just not possible. The joy of Omega Mart is exploring in an organic way to stumble across the incredible details that these artists have painstakingly created. It’s not meant to be “solved”. This might be a difficult idea to grasp for us escape room fanatics. Going in without expectations to enjoy whatever experience comes to you, will be your best bet to have an interesting time. Now, I was incredibly overwhelmed when we went. It was crowded and I had a hard time focusing on literally anything. I also had wished that more of the employees were more in narrative to play along. There was one person who was incredible and I kept going back to talk to him because he made so much fun. There’s something… I don’t have the right word for it - you’re dealing with people in Vegas if that makes sense. Parts of it feel like it’s been watered down for Vegas audiences. You should go if you like unique, weird, really weird, art experiences. My recommendation is go during the week, or in the morning. Find an off time to go. The less people there the better your time will be. Talk to everyone. Ask questions! Don’t be afraid to get weird with it. There are YouTube videos they have put out talking about it going into the narrative a bit more if you want to research. I’m excited to go back when I can have space to enjoy it.

If you enjoy the weird, the abnormal, the experimental, Meow Wolf is going to be your favorite experience. First- it is NOT an escape room at all. But, please, do not let that deter you. It’s an artist instillation with a beautiful story about being connected if you work a bit for it. That’s where some puzzling comes in. If you purchase the $3 Qpass - there are areas throughout the experience you can tap to receive ‘MEMS’ or memories (the currency of the convergence). The more you gather, the more you unlock what’s really happening in this world. You’ll be sent on ‘missions’ -so to speak- to go find other videos or solve some riddles. There are additional puzzles you can solve to reveal more about this world. These games are not to win anything except to have a more enriched experience. It’s not a place to be competitive (this coming from someone who is massively competitive). Throughout the Convergence Station there are Citizens of this world. INTERACT WITH THEM!! These actors are so much fun to interact with. They all have weird, unique characters that are a blast talking to. If you are nice to them and show interest, they will let you in on small secrets! We were taken on several tours by a one Scam Likely (if you see him say ‘Hello!’ He’s a decent chap). He showed us pieces of the world we would have never seen without him. Also, remember, this world’s commerce are memories- if you share something they might share something back with you! Convergence is MASSIVE. We spent our time making sure we got all the memory videos we could, saw everything, took a break had some lunch( they have a cafe), went back to it. We were in there for 7 hours. I’m not exaggerating, 7 hours. And there was still more to read, experience, etc. What an incredible place to exist. Having experimental artists gather together to tell a strange story about human (and not human) experiences. Give the weird a chance!
