Secrets of the Woods

I loved this escape room. The set and props feel a bit homemade, which was good and bad. Bad: it looks a bit cheap. Good: The puzzles and set were very unique. The hands-on nature of the props made it seamlessly collaborative. The density of puzzles was impressive, and they were also challenging. I loved the slightly spooky vibe too. This is actually the first room of a storyline; One Dark Night is the sequel (I will be going).

It was pretty cool. The lights dimming as you went along was very cool. Some of the puzzles were really easy and some were more difficult. Overall it was an average to above average room.

A homey room but very good puzzles

The room was in kind of rough shape, the 'work progress' or 'under construction', but the game master was very nice and helpful and the plot was pretty cool! Pretty spooky!

Pretty fun outdoorsy-camp themed room! My favorite touch was how the room’s lighting changed over time to reflect the passage of time. It’s pretty neat and I’m surprised more rooms don’t do that. The puzzles were fine, with only a few confusing ones. There was a broken part of the room that made figuring out one puzzle confusing, so thanks to the GM for being a sport and helping us out! He was a cool, nice guy too! Funny intro video too that captures the tension!

It wasn’t a great experience. Puzzles felt so random and not well tested. The puzzles had some guesswork and ambiguous design. Atmosphere was lackluster. Story was not there. Staff was great though.
