    At the time of writing, this is our favourite escape room. The room mechanics were great, and the puzzles were varied and original. I wish we could play it again!

    This was a thoroughly enjoyable room with a lot of fun mechanics. The goals were clear throughout the room, and there was only one puzzle that tripped us up. Highly recommend!

    This is probably the most frustrating room of the ten we've played at the time of writing. The two of us found the puzzles to be generally convoluted throughout the room, and there were a few mechanics that were lacking.

    This wasn't a particularly satisfying room. There wasn't anything glaringly wrong with it, but the story was only really involved in the setup, and didn't carry through the room. As with any 90 minute room, there were quite a few puzzles, but none of particular note.

    This was a satisfying room with clear objectives at every point. Highly enjoyable.

    This room had generally good mechanics, with the exception of one puzzle, which was particularly poor - we had the right answer, but the mechanics stopped us from completing it multiple times. The linearity of this room was strange, and we left feeling frustrated, rather than accomplished. Not a particularly enjoyable room, but the only one we've played of this facility (note that it's now called Orphan's Revenge).

    This was an enjoyable room with puzzles that were mostly linear and quite satisfying.

    This is the first escape room I ever completed, and it was great fun. The goal was clear from the outset, and there was only one puzzle that really stumped us.

    We brought Grandma for her first escape room to Udder Graziness, and we all had such a great time. Great puzzles, fun mechanics and a unique theme. Great room!

    This was a satisfying room, where we brute forced one puzzle intentionally, and another unintentionally, due to this being on the slightly less linear side of rooms. This facility has a great mechanic of putting red dots on items that aren't part of the puzzle, which we particularly enjoyed.
