The Nest [Immersive Theatre]

NOT an escape room, but unforgettable. The ending to the experience was not satisfying to me, but it's beautiful storytelling in a really detailed creative environment. The "epilog" was truly moving. I almost wrote what I did during the epilog, but don't want to ruin any surprises. (Happy to share offline and happy to listen to your own experience there :) ) Very glad I tried this.

Not an escape room in the original sense, more of an immersive discovery game. Went with my 2 daughters (22 and 14 y/o) and we loved it so much! Essentially you are allowed access to a women’s storage unit and you explore your way through her belongings discovering cassette tapes along the way that tell her life story. It’s raw, emotional, and incredibly immersive. I won’t say too much, but if you have a small group (3 max, 2 ideal), then I strongly recommend this experience. Get in your feels and tune your senses and you may walk away with tears in your eyes. Another great experience by Hatch games.

We were almost discouraged by the idea that this is “not a traditional escape room”, but escape room lovers that appreciate ambiance, staging, theming, and story will ABSOLUTELY LOVE this. Probably the best “world-building” of anything I’ve experienced. It is a truly fantastic experience, especially for a duo or small group. We had a group of four and it was cozy. A very memorable experience.

Not a typical room escape experience, more like an immersive story telling experience with no real people character. Very unique and emotional!

This was a unique experience. I’ve heard a lot about this room, mostly that it’s not an escape room and that it’s best with smaller groups. Those were definitely true. We followed the story of Josephine, the previous owner of a storage unit we now own. Her story unfolds as we explored further into the storage unit. It’s not meant to be scary but it can be eery with how dark the space was with some lighting here and there and with only one flashlight. The assignment was straight forward. We had to keep reminding ourselves to take a back seat on the usual ER routine to avoid overthinking it. There’s definitely a lot of junk to explore but not enough to get lost in it. The set design was clutter-fantastic. They made clutter look good. This was a very heart felt experience! I would love to explore another storage unit!!! Can you make a scary or mystery one?

First off let me say, what an experience. Definitely not your average escape room (which it’s not, they say that right off the bat) but I think that’s what makes it my favorite room to date. Absolutely incredible. 10/10.

WOW- This was legitimately awe-inspiring to me. This is one of my favorite experiences I’ve ever done, and the team only made it better! This is clearly a labor of love. To be very clear: this is NOT an escape room. They say it a bunch basically everywhere, but if you’re still in doubt, listen to someone who’s done it! If you are looking for a fun time with your friends solving puzzles, this is not it. If you’re prepared for a beautiful, contemplative story in an immersive and well-produced environment, you will be thrilled. I went alone at 9pm with a long car ride home, and I was grateful to have the time to process afterwards. If you go as a group, go with people you know REALLY well. While I technically did not cry, it would have seriously subtracted from the experience if I had been worried about holding it together for someone else. With that giant disclaimer out of the way, this was beautiful. If you’re interested in storytelling and immersion in themed entertainment like I am, this is a must-see. It felt like a real-life Gone Home or What Remains of Edith Finch. I get that walking sims aren’t for everyone, but if they appeal to you, you should absolutely experience The Nest!

Not an escape room, but an experience. Loved learning and listening to the story of Josephine. Made me appreciate small moments in my own life.
