The Secret At Whitmore Estate

Some really fun puzzles and the mystery theme was prominent throughout. Solving things felt very satisfyingly and loved the use of sound in the room. Felt like there was great care in creating this room and enthusiasts will really enjoy the attention to detail in here. We did have 1 minor hiccup where something was not reset properly but the GM stopped the timer and had us wait in the start area while making a quick adjustment. Not that big a deal for us. Our team of 4 got through this with just 1 hint, which we were kicking ourselves for not being as observant as we should have been. Overall, a solid room for an afternoon of fun.

I enjoyed this game. The set design is great in the starting area but that seems to be where they spent most of the money as it gets a little spartan as you progress through the game. Still, there are some nice props and a couple of clever puzzles (the other ones are not “non-clever,” but they are mostly very easy). The voice actor for the main NPC is suitably hammy, as the situation most certainly demands. Recommended but with the caveat that two players would be better than four as there isn’t all that much to do.

This was a good room. Nothing more, nothing less. The setting is nice, the set looks cool, and the puzzles are fun. There is nothing mind blowing here, but we had a good time. We played this with a group of 4, and finished with 30 minutes left on the clock, without trying to play for speed at all. This is one I would personally save for when you have played all of the higher rated games in the area!

Whitaker was a good room! I liked how clever the puzzles were, there was about 75% technology and 25% basic lock and keys. I personally like more technology type puzzle then basic lock and keys. I came with a group of 6, which i’d say is ideal, a little less could be good, around 4-5 people so it’s not so chaotic. Overall loved the room and definitely planning on coming back to do Headcase.

The set was cool and the puzzles were fun. I enjoyed the puzzles in Headspace more (same location), but this was a very solid room.

This was a very fun room with good puzzles! It reminded me a lot of haunted mansion and I loved it.

The Secret at Whitmore Estate reminds me of a Disney Haunted Mansion if it were an escape room. The room itself is iconic and honestly, I would have stayed here longer just to admire every little detail! You only get that jaw-dropping reaction when you know how much love has been poured into the planning of this room, and I really do think that if more people knew about this escape room, they would definitely make a trip out of it. As for the experience, I have yet to think of an escape room that blends automated technology with your manual lock and key. The experience itself is seamless and not too hard. If you did Headcase, this escape room is a lot more friendly to beginners. Though we came with a group of 4, a team of 2-3 with good experience could arguably finish with less time.

Great use of space for this escape room. It's on the older side, but you can definitely see why it's well reviewed. Somewhat of a novel experience, the staff there is very knowledgeable and I believe Alex was our GM, an especially great host. Would suggest 4 people, gives everyone a little bit to do!

I absolutely loved this room! So immersive and fun! I saw someone else describe it as a mix between Clue and Haunted Mansion and thought that was a great comparison. I was not the biggest fan of the list that tells you what needs to be done, but it was helpful since it was a bigger room (especially since my group was small). This is in my top 10 escape rooms definitely, maybe even top 5.
