Recommend this room. Great theming and some really rewarding puzzles. A couple were pretty challenging and we needed hints. Plenty to do for 4 people. Would love to go back and try some of their other rooms. Beautiful space and creative gameplay.

Overall the game was expensive for what it was but the company was pretty good overall not sure if we would be back since this was their hardest room and if not for one clue we would have gotten out in less than 30 minutes

Set the record in like 2021 and I think we still hold it! This was a nice looking set, pretty on theme. Puzzles flowed well and were simple enough for us at least

This game was awesome! Our favorite one at this location. Incredible environment, story, and gameplay. We feared the Morse code puzzle but it was great. I guess we think similarly to the designers. Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed.

As a fan of Poe and the macabre, I loved this room! The vibe and atmosphere was perfect and loved all the puzzles and the ties to his stories.

We really weren’t big fans of this room. It was darker than it needed to be which always is difficult but there was also a Morse code part that was very poorly executed. I mean, we have done a decent amount of Morse code but the sounds were difficult to follow & didn’t correspond properly. The set design and ambiance were quite good and there were some unique elements, but honestly, that Morse code puzzle sort of ruined the whole experience for us.

Poe’s Chamber is the most challenging game at this location. It is a well themed game with an appropriate set design and story. There were several puzzles that I thought were super cool and unique, but there were others that I wasn’t crazy about. Some cool concepts, but I do think they missed the mark on the execution of a couple things. Several surprise elements made the game dynamic and exciting. This was overall my second favorite game at ERA. Retro Replay is still my fav!
“We highly recommend this room to escape room enthusiasts of all types.“
