I hate to leave a not so favorable review but for the hefty price of $50 a ticket, this experience did not live up to my escape room standards. I was drawn to the idea of an escape room within a museum when I signed up for this. There was so much potential too. This could have easily been an immersive experience with the beautiful cars and the ample space they had. It was the poor execution of the escape room and the logistics that left a bitter taste with many of the attendees. The escape room design felt amateur at best. They put us in groups of 10 and they had four rounds of escape rooms happening with 6 different escape rooms experiences. They only provided us with 45 minutes to do one escape room, even though their marketing said one hour. Since we got there early, we wanted to see if another escape room is possible to sign up for but they had a come-and-go system so really, we just paid for one escape room. Our game master was well-intentioned but new to his role, and he didn’t even realize that the key was missing from the set up. Our group lost 10 minutes looking for a key that was not there. The puzzles were not satisfying to solve and I wish there was more story building around how the cars are connected to the mystery we are solving for. They did offer light refreshments and snacks while waiting. My suggestion to make the hefty price tag worth it for future attendees is to work on the puzzle design, limit the number of people so folks can opt for two out of the six escape rooms, and potentially open up some of the exhibits while folks are waiting.
