Funny theme. Racy, sex based jokes bordering on a bit of juvenile humor in the beginning and then more adult themed later on. Do the room with people you are comfortable with! I did like that this room is a private booking and no strangers could join. This room is 5 people max but you could solve it with 2 or 3 people. Fairly easy puzzles. Live actor in the room at the beginning which is unusual and not my favorite but it was interesting. I recommend and look forward to doing the other escape rooms at this location.

This is a must for escape room enthusiasts especially because this is maybe only one of two escape room air bnbs in the United States right now. The puzzles are numerous in this house so for just two people I was glad that we booked two nights so that we could space out the puzzling in between unpacking, sight seeing, and ordering meals to the house. There is a lot of searching involved throughout the house. Some puzzles are a little harder than others. But once we got to the third or fourth stage in the puzzles we flew through and were absolutely delighted and astounded by the craftsmanship of elements of the house. We cannot believe they built what they did into this old house from the seventies! So glad that we flew all the way out from CT to this experience. Also the home was very comfortable and the hosts provided us with snacks and drinks and cute decorations to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! So thoughtful and sweet! Also be prepared for many deer in the area that just wander the front yards of the quaint neighborhood. The hosts provided us with popcorn to feed them and at one point I got about a dozen deer to congregate in the yard! Overall a wonderful time and I can’t wait to do their second one based on Grimm’s fairytales!

This is a good room just be aware that if you have happened to do the Dragonborne room at Lara’s Labyrinth that many of the same elements and puzzles appear in this room. I was a little disappointed because all of the other rooms I have done here were unique and seemed proprietary to this independent escape room so it took me by surprise to find exact puzzles and props from a chain escape room that I know buys full rooms from overseas companies that specialize in escape rooms. Nevertheless the room itself was immersive and fun with still some surprise elements.

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.

I have mixed feelings about this room. I have done over 59 rooms but was unable to escape this one with 3 other people. We perhaps could have used one more person and maybe we would have escaped. We got stuck on one small thing which was not puzzle related - more of a discovery thing. Also I think it could have utilized better sound and visual cues to show that a door opened when we completed a puzzle but got held up because it wasn’t apparent that the door opened. Otherwise the theme was good, the atmosphere was immersive, and the other puzzles were solved easily. Just be sure to have someone in your group that is good at searching, poking and prodding things, and trying things out continually in order to complete this room.

I did this room back in 2016 and it has still been one of my top 5 escape rooms that I have done since then. I thought that the set up to begin the escape room was unique and lent to the immersion. Once in the room, I loved that you had to use all your senses to solve the puzzles. The atmosphere was well done and one the first escape rooms in the state to incorporate RFID technology into the room and not just combo lock after combo lock. The sets and puzzles were custom built and you can tell how much care went into the puzzles and theme. We really did feel like the witch could be coming back to her hut any minute if you didn’t hurry up and find her book of spells!

This is the first outdoor escape room I had ever done and thought it was pretty neat. It’s a nice way to hang with friends without too strict of a time limit and explore downtown New Haven. It incorporates specific landmarks in New Haven into the puzzles and is very unique in that way. I didn’t like this one as much as the Chauncey Conundrum but it could be just because I liked where the Chauncey one took me in New Haven better.

This is a solid room in terms of design and technology however my biggest gripe is the staff here. They interrupted game play to this room to give an unsolicited hint when they thought we needed it even though I explicitly told the staff that we were seasoned escape room goers and did not want any hints. Despite this, they literally came into the room (not even spoke through the speakers) to help with something that we had not even struggled with for 15 minutes. Though the room was fantastic this experience really soured the gameplay for me and made us escaping less satisfying than it could have been.

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.
