Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - MurrayEscape roomIRLWe've done this room twice, the first time in a "shared experience" and a second time just us two with the intention to speedrun what we remembered and try out the puzzles we weren't able to because of the strangers with us. Being out with strangers discouraged us, but this is now one of our absolute favorite escape room locations. The puzzles are so well themed to the room and don't feel stereotypically "escape room." Hermes, a little robot guy who explains the room to you and is then your source of clues (controlled by your GM) is such a creative way to not break the immersion in order to receive clues. There is a puzzle that requires at least three people, and when we played the room as a team of 2, our GM Kylie came and joined us to do that puzzle, and she made sure to let us lead the puzzle and not spoil the fun by telling us how it's meant to be done.
The DepthsThe Escape Game - MurrayEscape roomIRLThis is our favorite game at this location! The puzzles are so well themed and a good mix of tactile and analytical. while we were challenged, we felt that we knew in general which elements went to which puzzle. The room was clean and well maintained. Every time you do something right, you get an audible cue to signal you to keep going. The clues are delivered to you very quickly, and they don't give everything away but they aren't a riddle you have to decode. Our game guide also let us know that some puzzles in the games here have multiple ways they can be solved, especially puzzles that include outside knowledge such as the periodic table.
