The set design, props, and other elements were amazing! The immersive is unmatched from any other rooms I've done. Puzzles were well thought out and flowed very nicely
Mark as done to rate
Set in 1935 Chicago, a beloved philanthropist has been murdered, and his widow has hired the city’s leading Private Eye, Ed Miller, to find out who did it. As Miller got close to solving the case, the local crime syndicate headed to his office to “persuade” the detective to engage in less murder solving, mostly by way of “not bein’ alive as much as he usually is.” Ed was able to lure the henchmen from his office, giving you and your fellow gumshoes an hour to find all the evidence he had collected, and solve the Vandergrift murder. You’ll have to work fast if you’d like to escape without facing the business end of a Tommy gun.

Favorite room is a hard title to earn — glad NOIR took it. Ed Miller keeps a sharp office; good to know the details held up under a detective’s eye. Thanks, jelleco. — Harrison Fjord, ESCAPE! ALASKA A Play Alaska Experience "You Can Believe Again"

Thank you for this — and for taking the time to write it. Top five among the rooms you’ve played means a great deal coming from someone who’s clearly done a lot of rooms. We’ll pass the kind words about NOIR along to the team. Hope to see you back for COVEN. — Dawson, Founder, ESCAPE! ALASKA A Play Alaska Experience "You Can Believe Again"

This was by far my husband and I favorite escape room so far! Lots of the puzzles were unique and something we've never experienced before. Finished in 49 minutes with just 2 people.

Had fun, but we didn’t escape. Make sure to work as a team. The room was very cool and there are lots of fun surprises in how it is constructed. Theatrical quality and attention to detail was great. The staffer we worked with was nice enough but he could have been more engaging. It kinda threw us off at first.
Gameplay
It’s great, but harder than most - there’s one clue they should revise imo - but overall super fun
Atmosphere
Fantastic!
Customer service
Staff could have been more engaging but overall ok. We waited for a while for sometime to welcome us at front desk but their waiting room is great.

Not too wild. You need to be able to crouch.

I LOVED this room! It is one of my all time favorites. The immersion especially was top notch, and the plot, pacing, and puzzles were all so good. I will remember this room for a long time. I didn’t use the hint system but using a 30’s phone - *chef’s kiss*. Even some random playing cards were in black and white. Amazing

Atmosphere
Atmosphere was off the hook!! Up there with the best I have ever done right down to the leather/tobacco smell. I loved it. Everything fit together so nicely
Customer service

Thanks so much! Beyond thrilled to hear you enjoyed NOIR so much, and, honestly, anytime we can get a "chef's kiss" that's pretty much the pinnacle of reviews!
