Molly's GameUntold Stories Experiences [prev. Down the Hatch]Escape roomIRLThis room was so unlike any room I’ve played before! The set design was out of this world and the sound production was also incredible. The room really makes it feel like you’ve stepped out of reality. The games narrative was unique and very detailed. There are also some effects I’ve never seen in an escape room before they made work really well for this room. David was our game master and he was so awesome! He helped us out on the puzzle we were really challenged with and was awesome to talk to afterwards about the room and other rooms he’s played. Even as not the biggest spooky escape room fans my team had a lot of fun and we were very glad the experience was as amazing as it was!
The Mole of The MountainUpside Down Escape GamesEscape roomIRLUpside Escapes was so worth the drive from Boston! The theming was something I’ve never seen before and the room has a charm unlike any rooms in the area. The twist at the end is very thoughtful and satisfying. We even got the easter egg tour at the end and Taylor shared how he chose what he did to put in the room. Taylor, Sheryl, and S’mores were all awesome and you can tell they really put a lot of love into the rooms they make! We even took some business cards so that we can promote such an awesome company.
Operation TreehouseThe Great Escape Room - Newton [prev. Puzzle Break - Newton]Escape roomIRLThe concept and look of this room are pretty good, however… we unfortunately saw lots of issues. The room had more than 3 games/puzzles/set pieces broken. The puzzles that did work were finicky and took a long time even when we knew exactly how to do them. The game also didn’t flow well and because it was one room and you could start in many places. When you finished a puzzle it didn’t seem at all rewarding because you had still so much to do and look at (with lots of pointless red herrings). The game master, however, was totally amazing and so helpful. He made the game seem more cohesive by helping us to understand what we missed from the broken puzzles and you could really tell he loves being a game master.
