The Nest [Immersive Theatre]Hatch EscapesEscape roomOther This experience is absolutely incredible. As a fan of video games like Firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch, this really resonated with me. The characters are well written, the story is moving, and the room itself blends the whole experience together, being both claustrophobic and comforting at different points throughout the story. The puzzles lend really well to that same feeling, that you are exploring a person’s life and sensibilities, rather than trying to outsmart or defeat them. All in all, a fantastic time, and well worth the time and money.
The Clock TowerEscape The Room - GlendaleEscape roomIRLI personally would not recommend this experience as it currently stands (as of July 2026). It needs to go through some major repairs and gameflow overhauls to stand up to a modern escape room experience. From a lack of any music in the room, to poorly acted scenes of the character you are trying to save (not a spoiler, this is revealed as part of your intro to the room), to clearly broken puzzles that required you to tell your game guide when you had completed it properly, and an overall lackluster flow from one puzzle to the next, this room has some major issues that need addressing. Very early into the room, we had to have a full game pause while one of their employees (not our game guide) came into the room to fix a computer that fully blue screened before we had even entered the game, and made comments about to our game guide before starting. On a positive note, I think that the concept itself has a lot going for it! Time travel is, in my experience, one of the least frequently approached escape room themes, and the steampunk aesthetic really helped sell the vibe of Simon Wells’s The Time Machine, which the room was obviously taking heavy inspiration from. I think they definitely could have and should have gone further with it, it definitely feels like the puzzles were designed loosely around clocks and a steam punk aesthetic, and the professor getting stuck in a time loop was hastily tacked on at the last minute. Overall, I was a little disappointed by this room. The set design was amazing, but the puzzles and the flow really let the room down. If you plan to play this game, just be aware that you will likely be spending a significant period of time sitting there waiting for your game guide to realise you have be doing something right and trigger it for you.
