Escape room
IRL
I feel that a good escape room starts with your game master and unfortunately, our most recent game master was a dud. Upon early arrival, we were met with an empty lobby waiting for a few minutes. Our game master popped out quickly and just said, “I’ve got to clean your room, and rushed back”, with no greeting nor instructions. Luckily enough after doing numerous escape rooms, we knew to sign the waivers on the desk. After waiting quite some time (after room start time) our game master returned a simply just said “Come on” and gestured to follow her. During our briefing, our game master's tone was rushed and lazy. After our briefing, our game master led us to our room where she rushed through the scenario of the room. I barely heard half the things she said. She then just left the room. Now the room was fun for sure and we only really needed one clue, however, we got unsolicited nudging and hints that we never asked for which ruined the fun a mystery of the room (felt like our game master just wanted us to finish the room as soon as possible to get us out of there). At the end of the game, our game master just came in and asked if we had “any questions” not “good job”, “do you guys want a picture”, “Did you have fun” etc. The reason for this negative review is that this experience was very off-putting and made me hesitant to finish the rest of the rooms at ANY ESCAPE QUEST. Honestly, I have had better experiences with other escape rooms with cheaper production value, BUT the game master is very enthusiastic and attentive which sets up their guests for a fun experience. I really hope no newcomers come here for their very first escape room and have the same experience we had tonight. If they did they would probably have a poor impression of escape rooms and never try another one again. Over the past 3 years, we have traveled the US and competed in over 40 escape rooms and this all blossomed from our very first escape room where our game master set us up for fun and success, not whatever this was tonight.
