Heresy: 1897Doors of DivergenceEscape roomIRLHeresy as a stand-alone experience isn’t an amazing game, and some artifacts in the room need to be ignored. But Doors of Divergence games really shine on replay, expanding what you thought you knew into something completely different. Play through each game twice, and watch the story unfold. 😈
NevermoreNocturne AdventuresEscape roomIRLAfter playing so many rooms, it’s rare to find escapes that make you pause for a moment and appreciate just how well crafted an experience is.

Madness: 1917Doors of DivergenceEscape roomIRLHere’s where the divergence starts to show. Story choices made in Heresy begin to affect the story in Madness. Not just subtle changes either, the whole dynamic and reasoning behind certain events are twisted. Beginning and ending in two completely separate place allow divergences to really shine through. Play each game twice, and be enlightened.
A Twist Of OzKey to EscapeEscape roomIRLA Twist of Oz was a great game. It was the first room we planned on our Carolinas trip, and they were so kind in allowing us to start a little bit later. Key to Escape is located in a historic church, actually on the national register of historic places. We had to solve a puzzle just to open the door too, which was a nice intro. The game itself was a joy to experience. Clever puzzle design, fantastic game flow and great clueing. We never felt lost or were unsure of what to do. It was a smaller space, but didn’t feel crowded. A real homemade game that’s just so satisfying to solve, in an amazing location. Add this to your Carolinas itinerary, I’m just sad we didn’t have time to play both rooms.
Madness: 1917 Chapter 2-4Doors of DivergenceEscape roomIRLPlaying through Madness again was probably my favorite experience. We could really appreciate each individual storyline and explore exactly how each action led to further things. Choices are carried forward from Heresy, and Madness really allowed those choices to fracture off into unique divergences. Wondrous.

The puzzles at this location are no slouch, and this game is no exception. A mark of good puzzle design is knowing exactly what to do and figuring out how to do it. One of the puzzles in here fit that description to a T. I understand this puzzle isn’t for everyone, but it was a joy to learn the mechanics and solve. An easy standout puzzle for this location. More difficult puzzling, thoughtful use of sound.
