Who killed Bugsy Marlowe?Great Scott EscapesEscape roomIRLPlayed this with my husband, just the two of us, and had to sing a song to get a little extra time - I recommend three players or more. I was engaged from the beginning and was amazed at how quickly the time passed. There are a ton of puzzles, a lot of really fun clues, and some great effects. This room was a lot of fun and we had a great time.

Carnegie's MillionsEscape Room PittsburghEscape roomIRLExcellent room that takes advantage of being built in a former bank building. The immersion is great without it being dark and hard to read. We even missed a couple of pieces of the puzzle (which were obvious in retrospect) but didn’t have any particularly frustrating moments. The room went by very quickly!

Good lighting cues helped direct our attention as needed.
