The Raven

Great room! We did technically escape but took almost 70 minutes, so we didn't do it in regulation and we used probably 7 hints-ish but it was a thrilling ride! Tons of locks and clues range from, almost literally, hit you in the face to "ahhh i would have never gotten that"! Hints are unlimited and given quickly but it does take them coming into the room which was novel! So be sure you know what you want to know or just have them help you! Also no timer in the room was an odd flex! That all being said - 5/5 room and so so much fun! Mo rocks! They helped out a ton and were a great sport! Been to probably 150 rooms and I've only failed about 5 - this would have taken it to six without the extra 10 mins!

I liked the room. I do not like that they have in person hints, and that there is no timer for you to see elapsed time. I felt as if we were given way too many hints, but the room itself was good

Laura was a great game master. Was about to solve a puzzle without a key earlier piece (that wasn't required to find first) she came in before anyone could get frustrated.

Unlocked History does a great job at having “not too obvious” clues. I like the focus on problem-solving and high-quality clues over high quantity, easy clues. My group did not realize we completed the puzzle and thought the “finale” was another clue. Overall, we had a good time and plan to return for other rooms! Group size: 3

We loved this room! The nonlinear puzzles put a fun and Interesting twist on the room. We throughly had fun completing this one! There was a very “different” puzzles that made it more unique and help you think outside of the box- especially if you do a lot of escape rooms- it didn’t have that repetitive feel. There was a lot of puzzles but didn’t feel overwhelming.

Overall, this is a great escape room. The nonlinear puzzles are all enjoyable and the room employs many classic Poe references within the gameplay. Our game master was courteous and fun to interact with. The ending of room’s story is a bit confusing *No spoilers* in regards to the actual life of Edgar Allan Poe. The resemblance to Poe’s actual dorm room at the University of Virginia is also an enjoyable detail for those who’ve seen the actual dormitory. Without spoiling any puzzles; there is a large object that needs to be moved than the typical “two finger strength” rule that applies to most escape rooms. We enjoyed the room very much and encourage both fans of Poe and escape room aficionados to partake.

Loved it! Staff was kind and accommodating. The room was fun and the puzzles managed to be challenging without feeling like a “gotcha”. A small technical issue got us a little off track, but overall the room was a lot of fun!

My favorite game at Unlocked History! I was pleasantly surprised with the level of immersion and amount of tech used. Although, the game master has to enter the room to provide hints and steps in unprompted on occasion.

This room was fun and challenging. It had a variety of very interesting puzzles. It was a little hard to tell the order things needed to be completed in. The GM was superb!
