Definitely top 5 escape rooms in Seattle Metro. The story is exceptional, very immersive and unique puzzles. Loved that it was NOT linear. Allowed our group to split up and work on various different puzzles at once. Maybe not ideal for beginners.

Overall Rating - high 3/5. A decent option for locals, but not something I would go out of my way to go to for enthusiasts. I’ve done around 200 rooms at this point (though not documented in this app yet), and have travelled to most TERPECA rooms in the US, and some abroad. I used to play a lot of Arkham horror, so am definitely the target audience for this room and appreciated all of the references to the IP. The room itself was only okay - worth doing if you are a fan of the IP, but not really worth going out of your way if you are a travelling enthusiast. The puzzles were fine but a bit too simple and follow the instructions style. There were a decent number of them, but none were particularly novel (though there were a couple that had a fun theme and were fine). The set was decent and had a lot of references to Arkham horror but felt a bit too close to your standard Victorian style themed rooms, which is probably the theme I am least into. The Arkham horror touches were nice though. Immersion was a little above average, but relied mostly on narrative voice over and static set pieces. The theme and narrative was a definite improvement over say, your standard The Escape Game level of immersion but (understandably) doesn’t have the wow factor as TERPECA level rooms such as Evil Robots. I was hoping for something higher budget given the license, which probably biased me here.

Total immersion starting in the lobby, incredible set design, unique puzzles - you couldn’t ask for a better room! We took two friends who had never played before, and it probably ruined escape rooms for them because it’s not going to get much better than this!

Insanely high quality set pieces and one of the most cinematic escape rooms I have done. Highly recommend for fans of Arkham Horror, Call of Cthulhu or Lovecraft sans racism!

There were 4 of us in this room. 3 of us usually flow really well together in escape rooms but we had one player who was a little difficult to work with. That being said, the room was just wonderful despite him lol! The puzzles are unique and creative, but where this room shines the most is in it’s fantastic set design. We loved it all. I didn’t think we’d do as well as we did!
Absolutely incredible set design
The owner went above and beyond to help ensure I had accessible parking. He was amazing! And our GM was just fantastic too

I have a mobility disability and the owner even let me park directly in front of the entrance. I was easily able to navigate through the room(s). I’m not in a wheelchair but I’m a bit weak and wobbly.

Easy to find, hard to park but then the owner was extremely accommodating :)

I got rock star parking thanks to the owner

This room was an absolute blast, the set design is 10/10 with a fully immersive experience. This room offers a lot to do, so no one is ever left feeling like they didn’t contribute and any Lovecraft fans will be ecstatic about the subtle lore - I highly recommend this room!
One of the best atmospheric rooms we’ve played.

After playing Evil Dead 2, we decided we wanted to try this game. It was just the two of us, and this game has a minimum of four players. We paid for the four spots and gave it a shot. We were not disappointed. We have not played the Arkham Horror board game so we didn't get the Easter eggs in this game. That's okay. The set design was awesome. The puzzles were challenging and fun. We needed two hints and one of the puzzles didn't quite work the way it should have. In the end, we needed a couple of extra minutes to finish. (By the way, this is not a scary/horror game.) The lights are a bit dim for ambiance, but the great thing about Hourglass is that they always provide flashlights in the rooms. In fact, in each room we played, there were 8+ flashlights. If one has low batteries, you just pick up another. I wish all places did this. Also, they always give you something to write on. Again, all places should do this. In the end, we think this was our favorite room of the three we played at Hourglass.
