RI Riddle Room

We were the second group to play the room, and this room was a blast! On the day of game, we teamed up with another pair of enthusiasts visiting from FL to tackle this beast. I absolutely loved the subtle nods to local places, which we already knew the Riddle Room did well, having done the Rocky Point game in the past. The puzzles were so fun in this room, and the props were super cool. There is one particular puzzle that we started with that was my favorite - they took a type of puzzle that we've done before and made it feel completely new with how it was laid out, and it was super fun. The puzzles all flowed very well, and we progressed really smoothly through the game. Loved the ending and what we needed to do to complete the room. Our actors were very fun to interact with both in the room and chatting with them after the game, and the GM's that checked us in in the lobby were awesome to chat with as well. Thanks for catching us up on our missing stamps!! I think there's a little room to grow in this room, as the space is large - but having seen all of Riddle Room's other rooms, and having heard about the changes in the last couple of years to their other rooms, I think this room will probably evolve along the way. But as is, this game is already great!

We had done one of the rooms here a while back and were very overdue to complete the other 2 rooms. We stayed overnight after the DroneArt show nearby, and had lots of time before The Wedding Party this evening. We were happy to see Boxaroo in partnership with Green Door Labs and mentioning each other. This room was great. There were many unique puzzles and though we've done a magician themed room elsewhere, this was completely different from the other.

The set design here was impeccable and I really enjoyed this one. Though as others have mentioned, there is an area that may cause a bit of motion sickness. I was feeling a bit iffy at some points, but made it through just fine. The thing is that while the stuff is happening to create the motion sickness, you are working on the hardest puzzles of them all. There were a couple in this section that felt super tough, even for a group of 6 experienced escapers. Very fun actor interactions in this one.

Before visiting, I knew the name of this game was familiar. But we were with a group of 6 players total going through all the games at Escaparium Laval, so we joined in this one as well to check if it was the same as one we had already played. Upon entering the room we realized this was indeed the case - we had played this game already at Expedition Escape in PA. Had we seen a photo of the inside of the room ahead of time, we would have been able to confirm this. We wished there had been mention of this on the website somewhere as we have heard that some games do have repeats in other locations. That being said, it IS a solid game if you haven't played it before, but we played pretty recently and remembered almost all of the puzzles. So 2 of our group of 6 just kind of stepped back here and helped the others along without actively solving things.

What a great start to our time spent at Escaparium over the weekend! We started strong here and were absolutely mind blown by the quality of the set, the character interactions, the fun puzzles - everything! When we walked out of this room, we knew our 13 hour round trip drive from RI was easily worth it. They really make it easy to fall in love with the characters here. As some others say, this room did feel a little puzzle light and storyline heavy, so I didn't feel like I got my hands on a lot of puzzles with a team of 6. But the experience is so immersive, that was just fine by me, as I was given the time to look around the set and just be in complete awe. The intro to this one was my favorite and glad we had it first, as we got to giggle when we saw it happening to other groups over the course of our weekend.

We had an absolute blast in this room. The first puzzle was the toughest for us, but after a while we figured that out and it was smooth sailing from there. The puzzles were very fun, interactions were wonderful, and I would recommend this room to anyone, even if they don’t know the legend of Pepe. The ending was an absolute riot and I can’t say I’ve done a similar type of um… action in a room. Highly recommend making a stop here before the room closes.

Ok - I expected this to be fun because Mystery Soup is a great venue. What I didn’t expect was to be grinning from ear to ear the whole time. We were honestly blown away with how fun this was. Giggles and Sis hosted a wonderful dinner party, and today I’m wishing I would have had some leftovers of that main course! We had a *very slight* advantage of knowing a few things about the room, having played the main room in the past. 3 out of 6 players had never seen ‘Traitors’, the other 3 being big fans. That being said, we ALL had a great time and understood what we needed to accomplish here. The mini games were a hoot, the puzzles were so fun. I highly recommend this experience to anyone. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Even our group member who is scared of clowns thoroughly enjoyed herself. Scoop up the limited time slots while you can. Thanks for a great time, Mystery Soup, Giggles and Sis!
