Outstanding experience! There is no surprise as to why this was awarded "The Best of Morty (2023)". The design of this room is incredible. There is so much detail that total immersion immediately follows. This room has to be experienced. Our only critique is that the production value takes away a little from the game room experience as we were shepherded through the Jurassic experience. Despite that comment, this is a must-play room.

The set design on this room is OUTSTANDING, as are all of the rooms at Memphis Escape Rooms (both locations). It is so well done that it takes a couple of seconds to get past admiring the environment and get on to the puzzle. However, the execution was not quite as good. Full disclosure, we missed pulling a clue out of a container that significantly slowed us down at the start with a puzzle that should have been straightforward. With that said, our two major critiques were with the horrible lighting in this room, and our inability to appropriately synchronize with our Game Master. Related to the poor lighting, we'd seen this observation on other reviews and in hindsight should have asked for some type of additional lighting (2x 50+ year-olds on the team). One lock is black, is on an item in the shadows, and the letters are relatively rubbed off. While there are lanterns around the set we couldn't find one that we could move. It took our 20-something to enter in the right code and she had an extremely hard time. Related to our GM, while we're sure she meant well, she ended up frustrating us during a good portion of the game. Because we missed pulling a clue out of a container (we weren't informed of this until after we'd escaped) she eventually just gave us the answer to the puzzle, seemingly as part of a canned "clue" system, but now we had items we were holding on to and not sure which we still needed and which had already been used to solve the puzzle whose solution we'd been given. This resulted in confusion for most of the rest of the game. And, once those clues started, they just kept coming and coming, especially at times we didn't need them, which required us to return to where we could see the time/clue screen, to receive clues we didn't need and which didn't help. We got stuck on another puzzle (limited capability to solve it with the tools available, you'll "see") and kept getting clues to parts we'd already solved. Not knowing what we were being offered we wanted to honor the "ding" and the clues but they eventually just became a distraction. In the end, we escaped with just over 10 minutes which made all of the unsolicited clues seem too untimely since we still finished with ~17% of our time remaining. Looking back, had we received a clue that said something like "look inside the container that you pulled the 'thing' out of to find the instructions that you missed" and then just let us go would have made the game much less frustrating and more enjoyable. It is well-designed, and challenging, but the insufficient lighting and our GM's intervention made it less enjoyable. We still recommend trying this more difficult room.

The Escape Game continues to be THE standard by which other escape rooms are measured. Everything about this room is well thought out, well put together, and worked well. Prison Break is the most difficult game at this location (according to The Escape Game rating) but was a lot of fun. The puzzles are challenging but clear, the game is completely immersive, and the flow is consistent. We've thoroughly enjoyed every experience at The Escape Game.

Wow! This was our second 90-minute (3 of us) escape room with Escape Code, and we did it back to back with "Revenge" (now closed). "The Zeros" has A LOT of puzzles to be solved in the 90 minutes. It stays with the overall theme and there is a good amount of terrain to cover. It is mostly linear and there are a variety of clues. The post-apocalyptic theme goes along with how the game runs -- there is a lot of noise and chaos. We were physically drained at the end, but we had smiles on our faces. This is a must do at Escape Code.
