Avalanche

First off, shame on Maze Rooms for spamming the Morty reviews of this game. There are multiple reviews praising this game in similarly vague (and in some cases word-for-word identical) language. They’re generally written by people who haven’t reviewed a single other game— or who, coincidentally, have only reviewed other Maze Room games in very similar language. It makes me sad to see an escape room company abusing the trust and good will of the community, and it makes me reluctant to go back to Maze Rooms. Putting that aside, this was a vexing and perplexing game. Maze Room have clearly devoted real care into set design; the set pulls one trick in particular that was truly impressive. But they’ve skimped in weird ways. Hints are delivered through a walkie-talkie— and if you leave the walkie talkie in the wrong place, it ends up being inaccessible for the rest of the game, which means you can’t get hints. Plus, in a later room, doing the wrong thing to one prop renders it unusable, making it impossible to solve a particular puzzle. If you scroll down past the numerous spam reviews of this game, you’ll notice a lot of complaints about the room’s disjointed storyline. I think I understood what Maze Room were going for, and I appreciate the fact that they were trying something different, but the story just isn’t conveyed in an effective way. In short, this is a game with a lot of intriguing and promising elements, and is worth playing if you want to try something different and you don’t mind the potential for frustration. But it’s a severely flawed game, and I left feeling defeated even though we managed to escape in time.

The puzzles were smart and required teamwork, but nothing felt impossible. Escaping with just minutes to spare was so satisfying!

Avalanche had us on the edge of our seats the whole time. The sense of urgency is so real, and the puzzles kept us racing against time. Totally thrilling!

The puzzles fit perfectly with the survival theme. Loved the creativity and atmosphere.

Avalanche had such a cool survival theme. Felt like we were trapped in a snowstorm cabin. Really fun.

Cold theme but warm memories 😂 we had a blast!

Loved the challenge. We barely made it out in time!

Loved the time pressure and the sound effects — total adrenaline rush!

So immersive! Felt like we were trapped in a snowstorm.

Totally worth it. The staff, the setup, and the thrill—everything was top-notch.
