The Tears of FreyaMystic Escape Room - DenverEscape roomIRLWe did The Tears Of Freya. Our host was nice and did a good job; I don't think the problems we experienced were on her. It was a REALLY good set without a single padlock. But there were issues: the room wasn't set up completely right, and the audio (like to get a hint) was borderline unintelligible due to skipping and repeating, as if the host's PC had a virus. The room was very dark, dialing up the difficulty in an unnecessary way; we think flashlights would be a good addition. On a positive note, we felt the puzzles were hard but fair, and that's really important. This is nitpicky but I'm gonna say it anyway: what's up with the text spamming? I got texts from 6 different numbers, and multiple emails. Enough!
The Rocky Mountain ZephyrGolden Puzzle RoomEscape roomIRL"Rocky Mountain Zephyr" was really fun. They did a great job designing and building the room; it actually felt like being inside a train. When it comes to escape rooms, what we care about most is "were the puzzles fair?", and the answer was "Yes, 100%". Our only nitpick was a directional padlock that didn't want to open, correct combination or not. We appreciated the advice to do Rocky Mountain Zephyr instead of Back To The Diner, which is harder. We're coming back for Back To The Diner and other rooms, because these guys know how to build a fun, fair, high-quality escape room.
