Avalanche

Tricky start and trippy ending. Unfortunately, a rough puzzle toward the end, an iffy GM experience and some whacky signposting kept this from being a standout game.

Our host Pluto was really fantastic and made sure we had a great time. As far as the room itself, the set design was beautiful but the story felt very confusing. It was almost like they randomly combined a couple different sets.

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.

A really engaging escape room with a great story and puzzles. Good for those interested in non-linear gameplay.

Super cool room with a unique story line! You’re stuck in avalanche, stumble into the wrong cabin, and hallucinate. The mechanics were super high tech with a really awesome transition sequence. All the puzzles make sense. High thumbs up!

Very high production room if you liked whatever happened to the garretts, you’ll love this room!

It was nice art design. The puzzles were okay. Not one I would recommend compared to others I’ve done

Probably the fastest escape room I’ve solved and it was because the game master was giving direct answers when we asked for clues & would give clues without asking. Even if they didn’t, there’s not a lot of heavy solving with this one nor were the puzzles fun. I would’ve labeled it as easy.

We really loved this one! There is a reveal in this one that was one of our favorite reveals ever! The atmosphere and story were so strange, which we actually really liked. GM Damien was super nice and made our experience great. Very fun surprises in this one. We were laughing and talking about the ambience and twists in the car ride home haha!

Some cool surprises !!!! You’ll love this room
