Loose Sleuth

Very nice flow.

Had a late 80s private eye feel to it and stayed on that theme, pretty great.

Welcoming staff, very polite.

Very fun use of props.

You got bits and pieces as you went farther along.

Lots of puzzles, some of them make you think harder than a standard escape room puzzle.

A lot of magnetic release mechanisms, but quite a few standard escape room locks and an actual locker lock.

Doable with 2, but you better both be fairly experienced.

One minor item near the end got my heart racing.

1 clue has a color cancel component. This is easily skippable. 1 lock is color coded, but this could be overcome with planning ahead. Mobility, one room may be difficult to get a wheelchair in. I don't remember there being audio cues.

A decent chunk of the puzzles were CRUNCHY. Really got our problem solving skills into high gear with this one.

Nothing too fancy here. The story takes place in an office (which really, offices in general aren't fun to be in nor are very exciting environments), but it's the *puzzles* that really make this room shine.

Love Envy! She is a fantastic GM and very responsive with everything.

A puzzle involves video tapes!! 📼 My nostaglic heart fluttered seeing a VCR, hahah.

Story was clever. You are tasked to find out why the office is in such disarray, and is more than meets the eye.

HARD! Still very doable, but be prepared to really dive deeper into solving them. One of the few rooms we've asked for hints for.

One puzzle involves an actual (oldschool!) computer.

We did escape with just the two of us.

😏

Easy to reach puzzles.

Normal amount of movement.

There are some tighter spaces to move through in some spots, but I don't think it'd be a deterrant for anyone with mobility aids.

Clearly marked on outside of building, and signage inside the building leading you to Puzzle Works.

Plenty of street or lot parking for free around the building.

Tylan is always amazing!

Great flow and kept all four of us constantly busy

Floor to ceiling amazing

Kept us entertained and wonderful storytelling

Hard for a small group

Friday and Saturdays are busy, get there early for easy parking

Lots of puzzles that rely on parts of your brain that rarely get used in most escape rooms!

The room is small and best for a smaller group but just make sure everyone is experienced/strong with puzzles.

The room itself is not scary but there is one very scary moment.

One puzzle relies entirely on color. A few puzzles rely on teamwork from one room to another so they would be difficult for people with limited hearing to communicate. There is another puzzle that relies on speaking/hearing.
