11S

A 9/11 escape room is definitely a harder experience to create than most, but I think Open Mind created a game that is respectful of its sensitive subject matter. Set was a standout, clever traversal and movement. Puzzles felt a little incongruent at times. I appreciate Open Mind worked with survivors on the details to create an experience that was respectful of its sensitive subject and walked the fine line necessary in such a game.

Absolutely stunnig decor, this one is a must. A nice and funny GM. Some puzzles are a bit random and u related, most fit well in the story though.

Wow, this is such a great room, everything fits and is very creative. I loved it.

Moving, exciting, emotional - a fitting tribute that puts you in the shoes of a real fire squad training when the towers are attacked. Real survivor's stories (with their permission) are incorporated into the room, and a memorial post-game explains several aspects of the game. Brilliant. Puzzles were very puzzle-y and sometimes a bit random, but there's some real immersion here and great use of space. There's some suspension of disbelief with some elements of the game which definitely could not have happened or don't really make sense (e.g., two set pieces are very out of place). But most of the puzzles are in-theme even when they're not diegetic, and many puzzles and tasks were memorable, creative, and the surprisingly puzzley-ness was a treat, considering the effort and attention given to the set design.

This game has a good set design… the GM is English speaking… the tribute at the end really got to me…

A heavy theme, brilliantly executed. The set design left us in awe more than once. Only play as a duo – it’s often so cramped that you can’t see what the person in front of you is doing.

Our fifth room of our Escape Tour in Spain. 11s by Openmind Escape Room is a gripping experience that pays tribute to the events of 9/11. While the puzzles are on the simpler side, the immersion is exceptional and intense, with a unique ending that sets it apart. The experience is quite physical, adding to the intensity. Our host, Ellie, was incredible, fully in character during the game and wonderfully attentive afterward, providing detailed explanations and care. Perfect for both new and experienced players. Highly recommended!

Amazing amazing room, so much detail and different challenges with an emotional ending

We were reluctant to do this room due to the obvious sensitivity of the topic but were really surprised and glad we did it. The experience was jarring at some point… but almost therapeutic to be present. Some aspects allow you to potentially “see or feel” what a survivor may have felt. It can get dark but it’s no different from movies imitating real events… this is just more immersive. I think it’s worth checking out for sure especially because of how much respect this group has for honoring the 9/11 tragedy, the victims, its survivors, and their loved ones.
