Sir Walter Speakeasy

Pretty simple but some fun puzzles that felt like riddles and puzzles.

Did not feel as though the story was a part of the room at all. At the beginning of the room we were told the same paragraph that they have online to sell the room and then everything else was just okay.

Mostly magnetic locks and switches. Very few keys and/or input locks.

Some puzzle pieces are high up and you would need to be tall enough to read/interact with them.

We were told at the beginning of the room that an item was missing and they would remotely release that part of the puzzle. They did but the part that was missing really took us out of the game.

It’s up many stairs. Not very accessible.

Move around a lot between rooms.

Gameplay was good not amazing.

It was nice because the building is old so it made it feel a little bit more authentic

We kind of showed up last minute after doing a different game at a different location and they were very welcoming and accepting since they had the space. The game master was incredibly nice and was incredibly helpful.

Yeah, it was pretty interesting. I’ve done a lot of games and a lot of different states and countries and this was the first time I had done this concept.

The story was sort of lacking. I kind of had an understanding of what we were doing everything for. But I didn’t really get it. It wasn’t immersive. I just felt like I was trying to solve puzzles.

It wasn’t necessarily incredibly difficult. It took us a while to get started, but after that, everything went pretty seamlessly.

A lot of the components felt very old. I had seen a single component that I had never seen in another room that was kind of technical and I liked it. Otherwise it was all very DIY.

I would say a minimum of four it would probably be more difficult with less people because it is not linear at all. There is a lot of stuff to do at the same time if you wanna finish with a good time.

There is no scare aspect or spooky aspect to this room.

There is a lot of thinking involved so I don’t think I would recommend this for anybody less than high school age.

I wouldn’t say anything was broken just old. Some of the doors had to be forced open and felt like they were gonna break when you were pulling on them. There was a specific piece of the set that didn’t work anywhere close to as well as I would have hoped.

The game master was there, but that’s pretty normal.

There is definitely a bit of walking around that needs to be done.

Not at all in no way is any part of this room accessible. Lighting tends to be difficult in some situations. This is probably one of the least handy capable rooms I’ve ever done. For somebody that is physically handicapped to manage this room as there is a lot of high stepping that needs to be done. A lot of the stuff that needs to be read is incredibly difficult to read if anybody has a visual impairment.

Yeah, their whole thing is a giant old tower and it’s pretty noticeable from the street.

There’s a large parking lot next to the facility.

Decent. Gives Gen 2 vibes.

With all due respect, it was basic.

Our GM was lovely. Very nice.

I only say “High Tech” because of a few things — but it’s on a more mechanical side, for sure. Only a couple tech style of things.

Little bare bones. Wish their was more.

Unless you have done some escape room before, then this room can be challenging if not paying attention and reading carefully.

Mostly tech with some mechanical lock / keypads here and there.

We had some things that were smudged and hard to read.

Interesting puzzles I haven’t seen before.

Not the most immersive room, but not the worst!

VERY friendly staff!

I loved how the history of Raleigh was incorporated into the room!

This was difficult in that there’s no direction to the room. I felt like nothing clued us in on what to do next. Zero flow whatsoever.
