Something's Out There!

Gameplay did not flow well. Ending was unsatisfying. It did not feel like an ending more like just another event. Puzzles make you run around wasting time. A lot of decoy props. There were also 2 malfunctions during our game. Atmosphere was Amazing. Very immersive. Game master seemed annoyed at times. Didn’t look happy to be there. She also kept changing the time we had left. Also when asking for a hint she just told us the solution. Also, was not proactive at giving hints when falling behind despite asking at the beginning. Room was Spooky. Not scary.

The atmosphere of this game was top notch! So immersive! It felt as if you were truly outside when you first enter the room. We took a little bit to get started, but once we did, the flow between puzzles was really smooth. We had no problems solving the room with three people and only struggled on the final puzzle. Probably our favorite set design of the three rooms at this location (though it’s stiff competition). All of the puzzles were unique and non-conventional. There was only one key used in the room, but its use fit the theme perfectly.

We’ve done 2 of the rooms at this location and this was another success—both in solving and in fun! Scary moments like being plunged in darkness and hiding in a safe spot, some jump scares, and one in the group had to face some phobias. We had to be guided once (didn’t ask, but we had missed a vital something that wasn’t obvious). I was super happy that I solved the final puzzle for the group. Our GM Elaina (?, sorry if I’m wrong!!) was very friendly and welcoming. Really had a great time.

Let me just say we came into this escape room without any research and we came in blind to find out it was pretty scary and spooky. Sound and special effects definitely made it a little hard to solve knowing that something would spook us, but overall fun

This room leans more toward providing a spooky, immersive experience than a puzzle-solving one. The storyline is engaging and the atmosphere feels convincingly realistic, but the puzzles tend to be on the easier side, with solutions that are fairly straightforward. Overall, it’s a good choice for players seeking a chilling experience, but may not satisfy those looking for more unique or witty puzzles.

Maze Rooms rarely misses — and Something’s Out There is no exception. We’re giving this one a solid 9/10. It’s a spooky, eerie experience that builds tension without relying on heavy jump scares. It’s more unsettling than scary, which actually works well for the theme. The room is immersive, but if you’ve played Whatever Happened to the Garretts?, you’ll understand why we’re saying this one doesn’t quite reach that same level. There are moments where we would’ve liked to see the immersion pushed just a little further — especially in the second half. That said, we don’t want to give away any spoilers because the room does have some really cool touches and design choices. Puzzles were logical, clean, and diverse, with a smooth flow from start to finish. We loved the blend of tactile and tech elements — everything made sense and kept us engaged. The only letdown was the ending, which felt a bit abrupt. We were actively working through a puzzle when the game just ended — a little jarring after such a solid buildup. The location of the ending was creative, though, and visually interesting. Overall, Something’s Out There is a well-executed room with great atmosphere and classic Maze Rooms craftsmanship. For fans of eerie themes and strong puzzle design, it’s absolutely worth a visit — just don’t expect it to hit quite as hard as Garretts.

One of the most immersive rooms I’ve done. A lot of jump scare for those with the faint heart like myself. Totally doable for 2-4 ppl.

One of my favorite escape rooms ever. This escape room felt too real. This location has high production rooms. So many jump scares, my friends and I loved it. Thank you Clare for being an amazing GM. #🐷🐽

Maze rooms continues to wow us in the escape room world. Somethings out there is another winner from them. Scare factor was definitely the highest we’ve experienced in a room of theirs, a couple jump scares and creepy ambiance. Puzzles flowed really well, and the linear nature means no coming back to past knowledge, which is good. Overall, a great room with good puzzles and solid scare factor.

Game master seemed really bothered to be at work. Made the experience suck
