The Clock Tower

Loved the theme of this one! Puzzles were fun and challenging and we actually needed. A few clues ! We usually don’t ask for clues ! Definitely a one for more experienced gamers

We enjoyed this room. The design was fun, and immersive. And the puzzles a great mix of high tech and physical. This room isn’t a strictly linear one, which we should have gone in expecting, given that it’s about time travel. We lost some time thinking that we had to solve every puzzle as soon as we encountered it, which was our bad. I love that parking is free for the Galleria, but that was seriously offset by having to pay extra for a “private” room. Had we not done so, we might have had to do the room with complete strangers. I know that used to be the norm, back before the pandemic, but this was the first place in years I’d seen that makes you pay for private. The fact that Morty had it listed as all private, and the extra fee doubled the cost of the room was extremely annoying.

It took us two times to finish this one with just me and my husband. The game master was great, super nice, and the room overall was very cool. A couple of the puzzles needed a little extra elbow grease to activate, but the game master was very attentive and let us know to try again. I would totally recommend this one.

Definitely an older gen room for a lot of the puzzles but still interesting and different from a bunch we've done before. We did it with a small group but definitely would be easier with more people.

Last puzzle was a thinker! Math and counting ! Which clocks to work on was confusing but overall fun.

There's quite a bit of novelty in this room. Somethings handled a little strangely, but it was at least all themed correctly. For this room I would say 4-6 is a good number to run this room with enough for everyone to a little or try and keep track of everything. Would suggest you brush up on how to "keep track of time" specifically. Ending was a little underwhelming though. If anything wasn't supposed to behave the way it was supposed to, the GM (Nick) kept a close eye and informed us accordingly. Great and engaged GM!

Escape Room's The Clock Tower feels dated but has the best design in the location. The story premise is interesting - time travel - but there was a lot of incoherence. I did not understand why some of the puzzles worked. The last puzzle was also just such a pain and not too much fun. We had a group of 5 when we went but I think that this group had a lot of experience so we had an idea of when to move on and when to nudge the game master to check if we did a puzzle correctly.

We booked this as a private group of 5 with 4 beginners (and me, not the brightest squirrel in the tree) not realizing it was the hardest puzzle! Two of our group were kids, but they caught on fast and loved it by the end. I didn't love the flow of puzzles in the first part; the solutions felt a bit clunky and repetitive. My other moment of GAH was the mathing, which I'm not a big fan of in puzzles. But after that first room, we really dug solving the last two. If the puzzles in the first part were tweaked a little, this would get a big thumbs up from me. But all in all, we had a great time and the kids were already excited to do the next one, so that's a win for me!

Fun gave with a lot of different elements

Absolutely love it! Nick was so incredible as a GM in helping us have a fantastic time in the clock tower!
