Such a good room! I think it has some great history to it and is great for those who are exploring Philly. I actually thought the puzzles were a little tricky, but was doable with two people.

Always enjoy escape rooms with themes to match the area they are in. This was probably my least favorite of the three games at Olde Escape, but it is also more suited for groups with less experience. Liked that it wasn't a totally linear game.

if you’re in Philadelphia, then, of course, there should be a revolutionary war escape room. This one delivered, although it is somewhat difficult. The sets were on the nose. Although I enjoyed their other rooms more, this is still a good one to do.
Gameplay
A little difficult. Non-linear. We did need a few nudges.
Atmosphere
Loved the rooms, especially the second one. A very Colonial era vibe!
Customer service
Very welcoming. Good GM who followed along making sure we were on the right track
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Without spoiling too much, the second room is quite authentic
Story
Help save America from the British! We're in Philadelphia so there better be a room like this!

Great theming & set up for making us feel we were back in 1776! Only thing I wish is that the ending had a bit more "grandiose" to it but the gameplay was fun overall.
Gameplay
The puzzles were definitely theme related. Sometimes the flow was a little disrupted because we didn't know where to go next at times with things but overall the gameplay experience was fun and enjoyable with some unique puzzles & spaces to explore.
Atmosphere
The space was decorated amazingly well! It really gave the revolutionary classic vibe & the music set the tone quite well. The props fit perfectly as well for the time period.
Customer service
Olde City Escape always has an amazing staff who treats everyone very warmly. Our game master was very friendly, informative, & made sure we got the help that we needed along the way.

This room was very well themed and really made me feel like I was back in 1776! My only gripe for this room is that some of the puzzles did not make sense on knowing that you were supposed to use that for the certain thing that you were trying to open, I wish that it was a little more clear, but it was overall a great room!
Gameplay
It flowed well, however there was some puzzles that made no sense on how we were supposed to do them

We brought my nephew here who happens to be afraid of the dark... so parts of it was difficult for him. Clever but a bit too many red herrings.

This was cute! I could tell they really made an effort with the theme. Not a difficult escape room, it seems like they may be catering more to tourists in Philly but the puzzles were fun and I don’t have anything inherently negative to say about it.

Fun room, group of 3 of us with one newbie and 2 escape room enthusiasts! Loved that it was Benjamin’s Franklin themed with some fun facts integrated into the game play! We used a few nudges but other than those, pay attention and enjoy the history of it!
