108 escape rooms

Possibly the most immersive introduction to a room we've seen in over 100 rooms! The theming and atmosphere were very memorable. Very well-decorated and atmospheric room. Poe references were fun and clever, and really made this memorable. The puzzles themselves felt pretty standard, and low-tech for the most part. This would be a super cool first escape room experience, especially if you're familiar with Poe's work!

Gameplay

Pretty standard lock and key puzzles prompted by clues.

Atmosphere

Amazing introduction before even getting into the room!
