Escape Room Mystery - King Of Prussia

The staff was absolutely amazing and the environment was super immersive. There was a wide variety of puzzles which I liked. The biggest downside for me was how much sound echoed and how quiet any sound prompts were. I played with 8 other people (which I understand is a lot), but even when only one person was talking, our voices felt amplified in the room so it got very loud very quickly. At the same time, the sound prompts were very quiet. For example, we were told to pay attention to the video at the start of the game, but it was pretty quiet and did not have captions so it was hard to understand. All in all, I enjoyed the room and would love to come back to play the others, I just wish there could be some sound dampening in the rooms and maybe closed captions for any audio.

Lots of fun, I enjoyed nearly all of the puzzles and the story. I also loved the props, especially having magic wands. However, one of the puzzles we managed to solve incorrectly but get the right answer (the incorrect code we got gave us the same answer card number as the correct code) and the last puzzle was good in theory but difficult to actually solve. Even when using all of its help cards we were still a little confused. Overall, I would recommend this game, I just couldn’t give it a heart rating.

I’ve been a huge LOTR fan for over a decade, so I was really excited to play this game. However, I felt like the makers were so focused on making the story make sense and fit the theme that they didn’t put much effort into the puzzles. For example, one puzzle I solved correctly according to the answer card, but it was like there were two possible ways of doing it and only one was actually correct. I usually enjoy the tabletop escape games, but this one didn’t impress me.

Compared to some of Memphis Escape Rooms’ other rooms, this one is alright. The set design is beautiful, we actually felt like we were in a skate rink. However, some of the puzzles felt like a bit of a stretch. We got stuck several times because we didn’t know how to get started, both at the beginning of the game and whenever a path ended. A couple times, I felt like “how would the average person think of that,” but it could very likely just be me being oblivious. Overall, I’d say this room was very immersive and fun, but the puzzles were alright.

I played this room over a year ago, so I’m not sure if the room has changed at all since I experienced it. That being said, here are my thoughts based on my experience last year: I didn’t particularly enjoy this room. The set design was beautiful and incredibly immersive. However, some of the puzzles were super complicated and difficult. There were also a few puzzles that could logically be solved a few different ways, so we wasted time trying to solve them the wrong way. Even though the game was pretty new when I played, parts of the set were already broken. We were also told to be very gentle with several different pieces of the set. Our game master didn’t seem to pay much attention to us at all. We were getting low on time and struggling with a puzzle so we asked for help multiple times, but we only got a super vague hint and we ended up not escaping. Overall, this experience wasn’t the best. It’s the only game I’ve played with this company though, so I don’t know if it was just a one-off experience. I wouldn’t mind giving them another chance and trying a different room some time in the future.
