16 escape rooms
Another fantastic room by Black Mountain Escape! I think this is the most *whimsical* room we've done before, and we really loved that part about it. This is hard to explain without spoilers, but I'll just say that there are some delightful moments in the experience that perfectly capture the feeling of a classic magic show. Multiple moments putting a smile on your face just as when a magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat and you don't know how it got there. Very on-theme, and well done. The puzzles in this room were also very satisfying to solve. Many that were very creative and all of them felt logical and rewarding. We did have a moment or two where we accidentally guessed a clue or solved it in a way not intended, but it didn't feel too upsetting among so many good ones. We had a different game master from our first time, and he was just as friendly as the first. He actually greeted us by name when we arrived and apparently looked up we had done one of their rooms previously 1.5 years ago. I don't think I've ever received such a personal welcome at an escape room before. He was a fun actor as part of the experience. I especially appreciated the magic tricks he began with which were mostly unrelated to the room except in the way they set the tone and theme. Quality experience that you don't get most places. My one main negative remark is, just as with the first room we did, this one is a *bit* run down. The props show wear, and some items show abuse. Extremely minor complaint here.
