Storyteller's Secret
Boxaroo
Escape room
IRL
Went to this room because it won the Golden Lock In Award and was not disappointed! This is a wonderful independent escape room and this room is lovely and unique and one of a kind. The flow is natural, the puzzles are good and satisfying, the technology is high tech and whimsical at times! I love the gameplay and then it does something different in the second half that makes it very unique in terms of how you play it versus regular escape rooms. This room is fantastic and should be on everyone’s list.
Conundrum Museum
Boxaroo
Escape room

This is a good solid room but my least favorite of the ones at Boxaroo. It’s an interesting theme and does have some fun and unique elements but for just two players , it was a bit difficult so I recommend at least 3-4 for this room. Some of the puzzles were a bit obtuse and we did require some hints. Perhaps if there were more people we would not have needed the hints. Overall still a great room but I found it to be the most difficult of all three rooms currently offered at Boxaroo

Went to this room since it won a Golden Lock In Award. Absolutely so much fun and makes you feel like a kid again. Was wary because this room does not do private groups so you have the potential to book with strangers, which can make or break an experience sometimes. There were just two of us but then one stranger also booked and we were pleasantly surprised! We definitely needed the extra person because there was a lot to do in this room. I recommend 4-6 people for this room. This room had so many fun elements to it and I really enjoyed it.
Before Moonrise
Escape New Haven
Escape room

What a fantastic room! One of my top 5, for sure, and I have done over 50 rooms. This is the best room at Escape New Haven. I did this with my family and while I don’t normally like doing rooms with large amount of people, this one comfortably supported all 6 of us. This one has lots of great technology - lights, sound, RFID, you name it! The theme is fun and unique and has so many fun and surprisingly elements. Truly delightful things that made me giggle out loud with joy. I really love this room and wish I could experience is anew again.

This was an interesting room. It’s not a traditional escape room - more like a puzzle room in which you have to scramble to solve as many puzzles as possible in order to get the most money to get on the scoreboard. The theme is loose, no real immersion, and the puzzles do not necessarily connect to each other. There are some interesting and fun surprises but it is on the whole overwhelming. I would not recommend for first time escape room players as you do need a sense of organization in order to prioritize what puzzles you want to solve. You need someone searching for things, you need to know your other players strong suits (are they good at word puzzles? Are they good at recognizing patterns? Etc) so you can delegate each task properly. This is not a room to escape at all - so it does lack the satisfaction of completion because you truly cannot complete everything in one visit no matter how good you are. The goal is to come back and complete them faster and better next time to get a higher score but that might not entice regular escape room enthusiasts. It is unique and worth doing, but don’t expect a high level of immersion technology, or story.

Great room, great theme! Lots of great technology involved though still a good number of combination locks and directional locks. 3-4 people is a good amount for this room. There were some fun surprises and interesting puzzle elements at play.

I did this room back in 2018, pre covid, back when the rooms were not private. The theme and puzzles were very good, the only thing marring the experience being that my group of 4 was in the room with 5 pre teen boys that had never done an escape room before. I am glad to see the room experiences are private now because this room is quite challenging and needs a cohesive group to be able to solve the puzzles effectively.
Wigwam Escape Room
Wigwam Escape Room at The Institute For American Indian Studies
Escape room
IRL
What a fantastic and unique room! I did this because they got a Golden Lock In Award and was impressed. You get a nice little history lesson and introduction prior to the room. The room itself isn’t very big but it is beautiful painted and the props and scenery are lovingly handmade as original to this place. It had some delightful surprises and used some great technology. Loved how they kept time in this room and I keeping with the theme. Overall great experience and great staff.
Gangster Gnomes 2 Out On Parole
Codeword Escape
Escape room
IRL
This room was actually very cute and I was pleasantly surprised. I love a solid, independent escape room with a unique theme. Gangster Gnomes is definitely a unique and original one - as if they robbed a gnome collectors house and used all of them as props in the room. A great Christmas themed room, though I played it in the summer, the puzzles were good. Some slightly challenging but nothing too hard.
Grandma's Masterplan
60Out - Melrose
Escape room
IRL
What a fun and surprising escape room this is! The theme is hilarious and you slowly uncover the mystery of what happened to grandma. I love that you start out in her house and then progress more and more. Lots of fun hidden places and good use of technology. I did this room with 4 people but you can probably do 5-6 especially if some are newbies. Lots to do and solve and the ending, if you get there, is so fun like you are actually escaping!
