The Agency

A fun theme with good easy/medium puzzles. The James Bond theme was there set-wise, but it felt like it had not been spruced up in a long while, and felt a little uninspired. The smaller props overall were a bit meh and not in great condition, to the point of spoilers in a few instances. The puzzle themselves were good for an easier room, a nice mix of discovery moments, tactile puzzles and logic, but I think the lack of maintenance and laminated papers made it feel a bit cheap for a room that is supposed to be very classy. Great GM! We didn’t take many hints but when we did we had specific questions and she answered them instead of giving us boiler plate answers so that we still got to have the aha moments. I do think if the room was given some love, it would be a really lovely easy/medium room, and one I would reco for beginners. As we played it, I would give it a true neutral if possible.

This is one of the better rooms at Escape the Room, in my opinion (though the rooms here overall I find to be hit or miss). This one feels significantly more fair than The Dig and The Home. The James Bond theme is fairly well executed and the set dressing leads to a number of good a-ha moments. We didn’t need THAT many clues, but the ones we received were welcome given that it treaded in the areas of “yeah, we wouldn’t have figured that out.” Not the best room, but by no means bad. I recommend this if you’re an avid escaper and looking to round out a day of escapes.

Probably the most linear game here, and an okay time. I would say one of their better rooms. I just can’t recommend this place after witnessing the owner’s treatment of some of the team members. Save your money, as there are just as good and better rooms in the city.

I played this game many years ago as one of my first escape room experiences, and to this day it’s the worst I’ve done. Lackluster theming, and a game component was unplugged by a stranger in our shared game. Our guide let us know it was now impossible to win as the PC took too long to reboot. Maybe they’ve improved it by now, but I can only review my own past experience
