Legend of the Pines

Actually the COOLEST storyline of a room I’ve seen so far. Absolutely loved the puzzle intensity and the ending

Fun room! Nicely decorated, intuitive puzzles and great story telling that leaves you satisfied at the end. Some of the puzzles were a bit of a hassle, but overall, a great experience. As a New Jersey natives we appreciated playing a well designed game that’s native to our own state.

A bit older style of room, but fun and charming nonetheless! Definitely worth playing, especially at the price point they offer.

I’m a pretty seasoned escape room player, and unfortunately, my experience at Legend of the Pines was disappointing. We did not escape, and several aspects of the room made the experience frustrating. One major issue was the game master—it was clear they weren’t paying close attention to our game. We repeatedly received hints for things we had already solved rather than the information we actually needed, which wasted valuable time and added to our frustration. Beyond that, the room itself had several problems. The standard puzzles didn’t feel intuitive, and on top of that, there were multiple puzzles that required a physical component to solve. While I personally don’t enjoy these types of challenges, I can usually work through them. However, in this game, they were so finicky and frustrating that we spent over 20 minutes struggling—not because we didn’t understand the puzzle, but because of the execution. Also, they explicitly stated at the beginning that everything in the room was single-use—but that is not true in this room. There was an element that had to be reused, which threw us off. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this escape room, and I don’t plan on returning to Solve It Sherlock. There are much better options out there in New Jersey for escape room enthusiasts.

Super fun loved the concept. As a Jersey native it’s fun to see the folk lore turned into a room :)

A little easy for experienced escape room players. 7/10 rating is a little lenient if you know basic escape puzzle ideas.

This room was awesomely themed! Tommy was a great game master, he only nudged us when necessary! The ambiance was stellar and I was told ot was done by a haunts house company (which shows) but the puzzles were all home grown! Apart from the one key puzzle, the room was an utter blast! Head up, and give it a try, it's truly a good time. Keep the number between 2 and 4 though, otherwise the room m8ght feel super small.

Pretty nice room. Appropriately low-tech and was a nice change to be very dark - although a door that shouldn’t have been open was. Clues were slightly obtuse but it all made sense at the end.

The GPS location in Waze was weirdly incorrect but worked fine in Google Maps

We had a blast! I love the set up. I love the very last part of the room, but I will not give it away.. and our game master was awesome!
