Smoke & Mirrors: Houdini's Final Escape

Played with some first timers and they loved it! Think Escape Games do describe this as their most difficult room and can't say that I agree, but I still think the puzzles were incredibly fun and unique! The inclusion of the card trick was sick! The flow throughout the room was great and honestly I LOVED the puzzles in this room. Maybe it was because of the people I was with but everything felt so cohesive and flowed well, some surprising effects in this room as well that elevated the experience. A slight knick pick that I've noticed throughout all of the games at this location, is how low the audio is when watching videos on it, we were supposed to have a climactic portion at the end but we didn't really get to experience that because we couldn't hear the audio, despite all this it is definitely one of my favorites at this location!

Game was rated a 9/10 difficulty but seemed way easier than that. All puzzles flowed pretty well and the theming is done great. It would be a great first room or a great time, but if you’re an enthusiast who wants a challenge maybe not the right room. Overall solid gameplay and great theming just needed another challenging puzzle or two.

Pretty fun. Not too difficult. Linear throughout, very fun with family (4 people).

There were some old tricks and new, very fun

The young inexperienced girl game master messed up many things. She didn’t give us intro or story line to room just walked us there and shut door loudly behind her. She was rude entire time. When we would ask for clues she was rude and barely answered or gave clues and had annoyed voice over speaker. Rolled her eyes again when I said I wanted pic with our phone and not theirs for “their record” she kept insisting on using their camera which is a first . Wouldn’t let me use their bathroom despite one being there, she said it’s under construction and didn’t look like it was. Rudely said there’s one just across the street at the arcade. One of the times she was trying to give us a clue over intercom she was silent for two mins then came back on and said she was talking but her microphone was off so I asked for two extra mins on clock but she was rude and said no I can’t do that, I explained she just took away two kind from us by not making sure her audio worked, and she refused even tho we were close to running out of time ! Didn’t walk us out or say goodbye and hid when we left then promptly locked door behind us. Very immature and unprofessional

The two of us had fun. We rank them as follows: Two Can Keep a Secret Bubba’s Basement Bargains Smoke and Mirrors

Super fun room. Whether you are an escape room fanatic or a first timer Smoke and Mirrors is delightful On theme, very fun and intuitive. Highly recommend Zack was out GM and was amazing Some random thoughts: You can rebook for a second game onsite for a discount Parking is a little tricky but not too bad (adjacent to Fun Spot but parking for the room is free) Great atmosphere and staff Room could easily fit 3-5 adult sized humans

This is a fun game, not terribly difficult but the flow was extremely well thought out, the theming and upkeep wonderful. What made it a favorite was the host, Zach. His energy and vibe were perfect and that made for a really enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend.

Rated difficult, was not difficult for results and a 14 year old. Puzzles were direct and we skipped one as well.

I’m not sure if this is a room in a box, but we did this exact same room in Albuquerque last month. There were a couple of things that were a little different, but even some of the lock combinations were the same. Decent room, but again, the AC was acting up. I liked some of the other rooms better at this location, but I didn’t dislike it. Mostly a 1st gen room.
