Multiple rooms, creative puzzles. Our family of four enjoyed this and escaped with very little time left.

There's a lot to recommend this room, from the novel way to deliver a briefing, the fantastic GM who constantly played along, the flow of puzzles was very good (along with one of the cleverest visual puzzles I've seen for a while).  The picture quality was good and the inventory was telescape based so items would appear and disappear based on our actions and worked incredibly well.  This was an awful lot of fun and I even though I'm scaling my virtual play (now we can play pysical) I would play more of their offerings.

The puzzles were straightforward and satisfying to complete. It was a classic 1.0 escape room.

This room was such an absolute delight! Great puzzles, everything very original. And this was clear this more of a 20,000 Leagues room rather than a submarine-themed escape room. Some really fun puzzles, and a great "emergency" when your sub is "invaded"! This company has more games coming with the company itself and their rooms all tied to famous novels.

We do a lot of escape rooms spanning from low budget to high budget while this isn’t a high budget set like some of the national chains, the puzzles more than made up for it. They were clever and made in such a way that everything you needed was always in within reach if you pay attention. There also weren’t a lot of wasted props, everything you see pretty much gets used which makes it feel nice to have it all come together. Puzzles were linear enough to flow well, but not too linear that it’s boring. The theme also was on point. Other low budget sets are that way because they are just not designed well and the company never takes off, this company however is just new, and definitely going places so I look forward to seeing what they do with their next few rooms coming out soon

Good puzzles. There were two of us, and we did great. So, if you’re worried about a small group, don’t be. I enjoyed the theme and story. Our game host, Skyler, was fantastic. We had the option to get unprompted nudges, and we passed on those, electing to only get hints when we asked, which was maybe twice? It had been a few months since we had done a room, and this was a great one to get back into it with. Looking forward to the two new rooms coming soonish. Also, I love that it was private and affordable.

We had such a great experience! Kel was our extremely fun and friendly gamemaster. The puzzles made sense and fit the theme very well. Definitely worth a stop for both casual players and enthusiasts. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

This was probably the best utilisation of a low budget room I've seen yet. Very 1st generation escape room, but the mechanical nature made sense with the theme. Very enjoyable room despite all these "shortcomings". Now why didn't I give this place a heart? There was a specific puzzle our group found quite obtuse even after finishing the room. It took quite a long time to get and solve which really broke the entire flow. I think my group was actually more off put by this than I was even. Aside from that specific puzzle, all the other puzzles were good. The hint system was absolutely delightful and so on theme. Set design was again low budget, but everything there contributed well to the theme. I do really like what Novel Escapes is trying to achieve by playing around with the novel theme and even incorporating the theme into the lobby. I'm excited to see what's in store next here.

Great escape room! Lots of clever and unique puzzles that fit really well with the theme and made it a fantastic underwater adventure.

Overall, this is a very satisfying room. Puzzles make sense and connect to the theme.
