Hot Dog Heist was a pretty cool escape room. Slightly different than most “Heist” rooms which made it feel a bit more original. Puzzles weren’t overly complicated but there were definitely a ton of puzzles. I managed to escape with my parents who are very much novices with 35 seconds left.

Completed this room with my girlfriend, roommates, and two random people (a young couple). Had a great time, and loved the puzzle flow. The mission felt a bit convoluted at times, and it sometimes felt like there were too many cooks. The room was definitely physical and involved a lot of crawling between spaces, which made communication difficult sometimes. Overall, loved the theme, it was extremely unique!

Highly unique theme and specialized puzzles makes this an experience unlike most escape experiences! It feels a step above many rooms. Loved the playful and trope-filled atmosphere. Very creative and immersive props that went well with the theme. Never seen anything like this! Definitely visit if you're in the area. :)
The staff was super accommodating and allowed us to play very early compared to our scheduled time. We were worried about making our flight, and they were very friendly about it!

There is a lot of crawling back and forth, and there is not an alternative route.
A lot of the crawling would make it challenging for those with mobility issues.

It is kind of hidden, but there is a sign!

The garage closest to the Boston Commons was booked, so we ended up meeting to walk a while to get to the location. Make sure you give yourself extra time if you're going on a weekend!

Trapology has a lovely relaxing space. Some set pieces were a bit off center for the theme, but still enjoyable nonetheless and worth checking out.

This room was so cute and so fun! We were able to complete it with two people with only a couple minutes to spare. We did not require hints to solve the puzzles, so it’s doable with just 2 people. However, I would definitely consider going with 3 or 4, mostly because we were speed-crawling around and screaming across the rooms to each other. It would be WAY easier to not do it with just 2. For us, 2 worked out nicely, plus we got some fun physical workout it, so it was a positive! It’s really up to the group and their experience level! The staff was so nice. We added this one on as a walk in after completing a different one at this establishment. I appreciate the staff’s honesty when we seemed skeptical of doing it with two people. They’re helpful and super respectful! We are looking forward to doing the rest of the rooms when we have time to return! Bonus points for not making yet another common, overdone “heist” theme. 👏🏻 love the creativity.

A humorous, dynamic nonlinear room loaded with puzzles and good theming - one of my favorite puzzles rooms to date! Lots of variety, with some very clever puzzling, great theming and a goofy, silly plotline. Not to be missed if you're visiting Beantown.

Pretty good for a puzzle room.
Medium
Some tricky puzzles, but all doable. Would be hard for beginners - don't be afraid to ask for hints.

Kids would find a lot to love here, but would probably need help with understanding the puzzles.

Quite a bit of ducking and crawling required. The last room appears to only be accessible via crawling and back and forth would be required by at least one or two members of the team.
Elevator available to reach the room. No color-based puzzles that I recall. Crawling required to access the last space of the room - there may or may not be a workaround

It's Boston, after all. They have a parking garage for the movie theater. Recommend taking the T, if possible.
