The Timekeeper's Trapped!

The Timekeeper's Trap: Locked in the den of a crazy clockmaker, tick-tock will we be able to unlock the lock? Is time on our side? Pros: The owner and game master was a delightful individual who thoroughly made us feel welcome and excited to play. He stayed in the room with us and carried us through troubled times or whenever we found ourselves at a loss. The room had a unique theme and the set design was clearly tied to this theme. Many of the puzzles were quite clever and we appreciated their connection to the story. Cons: There were so many clock-related puzzles that our brains are still numb from the temporal experience. We had puzzle overload all around. We thought we did fairly well in progressing through the many, MANY puzzles, until time ran out and we were told how many more we had to go. If it were not for the helpful hints of the game master we probably would not have progressed as far as we did since most of the puzzles were overly complicated and convoluted, requiring some translation in order to solve them. Overall we think we liked it but we are not entirely sure since our thinking tool kind of shut down midway through this game. So we will get back to you on that one when it is up and running again.

Make time for this entirely clocks-based room! This room had pretty much every time-related puzzle you could think of, and each one was presented in very different and clever ways. Watch out if you don’t like math or reading time, but for me, I completely clicked-clocked with these puzzles. Biggest issue was there are a lot of locks, and it isn’t always clear what goes where. It’s also gonna be tough for smaller groups, but it’s very doable, especially if you gel with math puzzles. If you like how that sounds, give an hour hand and clock in!

5/5. Love escape factors rooms

Great room! The setting was cool, and the puzzles had a nice variety and were challenging but not frustrating. There was one part where we got a bit lucky, but hey a win is a win! The staff once again was friendly and welcoming, and as a result we kept coming back for more!

Really cool room. Tons of puzzles that make sense. It was refreshing to see some number/math puzzles that I used to love in school but never really see in escape rooms. Definitely got our brains going. Also, considering the theme is a Timekeeper make sure you know how to tell time…. We were embarrassingly bad at it.

Although there wasn’t a lot of tech in this room it was still extremely fun and challenging. I recommend it.
