The Dark Room

The least fun escape room I’ve ever done. You basically stumble around in the dark looking for tiny things and if you miss one you probably can’t solve the puzzle. The dim light gave me eye strain, it was barely even possible to read the numbers on the combination locks. Was only able to escape because I brute force guessed multiple puzzle answers, which is unsatisfying. Also the story was essentially nonexistent. Would highly recommend you avoid this one unless you find torture fun.

I did this room with my 10-year-old daughter, we went into it knowing both that it would be dark and spooky and also difficult with only two people. Despite not escaping we absolutely loved the room and the experience. The story was fascinating and the way that the game master shares clues and lets you know how much time you have left is so unique and just contributes to the atmosphere. The set was definitely one of the more unique ones that I have been in, I would call it haunting. We especially appreciated the fact that even though we didn't escape our GM walked us through the final puzzles including letting my daughter actually do them. It's so fun to go to places like this where the staff are clearly passionate about what they do. We will definitely come back and do another room.

Clue system was unique. It was a fun room, not scary but it had a creepy vibe. Game master was friendly and did a great job. Room was a little difficult for two people (which we were warned of in advance) but we were more just there for the experience and didn’t mind that we didn’t get out (very first room to not escape)

Immaculate vibes. Really cool story behind it. Puzzles were a bit challenging and we fumbled a bit. For the most part, pretty intuitive one main thing that we didn't solve but still escaped through some luck. Would definitely try other rooms here. GM watches and listens to give relevant clues through slips of paper under the door.

Very unique and interesting setup. Also the story line is amazing. Great combination of high tech and manual puzzles. Great for both adults and kids

I am a bit confused by reviews because anyone who is going to play “The Dark Room” should expect the room to be DARK or at least dimly lit. There are were 4 of us and we all though that puzzles were a lot of fun and the perfect level of challenging. Good story lining and our guide was fantastic!

This game is focused on the story. The game isn't actually that dark; rather, the story is. The puzzles require collaboration multiple times. The set is pretty bare. The timing system is pretty unique and on theme. Overall, the game is fine

Very unique and different experience. It is what it says it is, a dark room and that is really the biggest challenge with this room. There not so many puzzles, but they were very time consuming and could make you lose a lot of time if attempted too many times. Would recommend for those looking for a different experience.

As the name suggests, darkness is a big part of the game. I didn’t find any outstanding puzzles but just the darkness was a huge challenge for us to escape.
