The Apartment

This room definitely nailed the set design in terms of making you think you were in a run-of-the-mill (Boston) apartment. The puzzles I found to be a bit on the tedious side and it required going back and forth from Point A to Point B (and C, D, etc.) a lot [I’m speaking figuratively — those Points are not actually physical parts of the room design!]. There were some things that didn’t quite add up or make sense intuitively (or logically) and it required some leaps in logic to understand and solve. I think that with some improvements on UX, this room has the potential to be better.

So I will add a disclaimer to this review, noting that this was one of my first escape rooms and I did this eight years ago in 2016. At the time, it was great. Some fun clues, and a good group of people to work with. I’m not sure if it would hold up now, seems very typical. It’s still worth doing as an introductory escape room I think for people.

We enjoyed this room. A few unique puzzles. Overall, a good time.

Worst escape room experience we’ve ever had. Entire place is run down, dirty, and broken. GMs do not respond to requests for clues in a timely fashion or at all. Room noise from other rooms is distracting. Overall negative. Terrible.

Did not like it. The whole space felt dirty, didn’t want to touch anything.
