A father loved his daughter Millie so much that he opened a doll shop for her. He made her all of her favorite dolls and they were both so happy. Sadly, Millie was accidentally impaled with a workshop tool and died in her father's arms but not before bestowing an evil curse upon Millie's Doll Emporium. The curse drove the father mad and to his death as he tried to desperately please her spirit. Inez, an investigative journalist, is trying to capture the story behind the cursed shop and needs your help collecting evidence after her many failed attempts. She's left some clues behind for you. You've entered the doll shop and now have a choice to make. Will you give Millie what she wants and release the curse or disturb her and take the stake for evidence? Either way, Millie won't make this easy for you and you risk suffering the same fate as the doll maker....ma

28 escape rooms

Would not recommend. Spend your money at any other escape room. You will have a better experience anywhere else especially if it is your first escape room.

Gameplay

Worst room we have ever played. They switched “game-master” mid game so it was confusing as both wanted us to do different things. Save your money and go to any other escape room.

Atmosphere

Got yelled at for touching items that did NOT have a “No Touch” sticker on them. Faded props that made some of the things hard to complete.

Customer service

Got yelled at for touching items in the room. Asked for clues and didn’t get any. Switched game master in middle of game so it was confusing.

4 escape rooms

The rooms had way too many props that were not part of the game, and the final challenge was so ridiculously complicated and only made worse by the horrible dim lighting.

Alex (previous reviewer) has it exactly right. Also, for those that play a lot of games, this is a purchased game escaperoomdoctor.com

Gameplay

The game is nonsensical with no flow, poorly clued, malfunctioning tech

Atmosphere

Customer service

GM could not explain why a certain puzzle wouldn’t work and recommended we “come back and try again”

The Doll Shop was poorly connected puzzles and many of the props, namely ones involving visuals, were faded and hard to read. Moreover, we ran into an audio issue that was detrimental to the room. Overall, the concept and designs were good, but poorly executed and maintained.
