    We loved it! All fun, no frustrating! We loved the physicality of the puzzles and the tech all worked great. A perfect puzzle to play with kids, but honestly I think anyone would enjoy it.

    We had a lot of fun with this one. Great, enthusiastic game master and a fun little puzzle for us to do with our 7 year old where we didn't feel rushed and he could do a lot of the solving and opening. There were some clever things we hadn't seen before and the hinting was cute and helpful. A good choice if you're looking for a simple, family friendly game.

    Such a fun room! We loved the decor, the clever puzzles, the unexpected elements, and how well everything was kept up. Great first experience for my new-to-escape rooms girlfriend!

    A fun and different experience! I really liked being able to combine the puzzling with some sightseeing and physical activity and appreciated the fact that it was untimed so we could really enjoy without rushing (we stopped for dinner midway through) I think the experience would have benefited from a better hint system - there was a scratch off answer card so you could confirm you were going to the right place next, but it was frustrating to still not know where that answer came from . They were happy to explain the puzzles that had stumped us when we returned to The Ruse at the end, but a system to give us a little nudge in the right direction during the game would have been helpful. I think we could have called if we really wanted to, but they had made it clear there was no gamemaster assigned to the outdoor game so we'd have to wait until someone was free to get back to us. Rather than inconvenience anyone we just scratched the answer. We are very familiar with downtown GR so the place descriptions and map generally clicked for us pretty quickly, but I wondered how someone less familiar would fare. All in all a good time, definitely got our steps in, just felt a little adrift at times.

    Our first escape room experience! The setting and story weren't particularly special, but I kind of love this kind of mundane, decade-specific decor haha. It really felt like being in your aunt's attic. There were a few fun surprises and it really got our wheels turning about what escape rooms could be. A fun, easy-going room for 2 beginners.

    There were times it felt like an overwhelming amount of locks and scavenging for a 2 person team, but overall it was pretty fun, with a few really clever elements.

    This was a challenging, but very doable and satisfying experience. Clues were well thought out and connected and there was a good variety of puzzles. The rooms at Lakeshore Quest are really nicely maintained and the experience start to finish is a good one!

    Solid escape room, though some props were getting a bit well-loved. We had a good time and were successful, but challenged, with a group of two.

    A pretty cute holiday experience and a great example of why I wish Morty had a "it was fine" rating. What it maybe lacked in polish, it made up for in novelty and family friendliness. There were a few minor technical and reset issues, but we were able to work around them. I will say, we were surprised by some of the technology and how well it functioned for a seasonal, novelty game like this. The puzzles that were on theme were fun, some of the others seemed a bit like filler. The ending was a little anticlimactic - we didn't know we'd won or what to do next. Overall we had a fun time and really appreciate games we can play with our 6 year old!

    Beautiful space, and great 1920s theme throughout the building. Staff was warm and welcoming and you can tell a lot of love has been put into this establishment. The decor and immersion of the room was top notch. Some of the puzzles were a little too straightforward and a few could have been better clued, but overall it was an enjoyable game experience. Game master was very helpful, be sure to let them know if you don’t want unprompted clues/hints!
