Conundrum Museum

Our group had a wonderful time with this room! This is a great option for groups whose favorite part of an escape room is puzzling. High-quality puzzles with a lot of variety, with little spectacle, but still strong tech so I wouldn't consider it an old-school room. I really appreciated that many of the color-based puzzles also included different patterns to accommodate anyone who might struggle with color differentiation. Boxaroo knocks it out of the park once again! ⚠️Flash Warning⚠️ Request a seizure-friendly room if needed. Apparently a seizure warning is hidden in the waiver, but no one in our room knew about it prior to entering the room, even after having called Boxaroo ahead of time to ask about accessibility. None of us are sensitive to flashing lights, but this could have been catastrophic for someone else.

This room is a puzzle room, with some of the most fun and cerebrally satisfying puzzles I’ve ever seen in an escape room. The set was solid and the story was good too especially for a room of this genre. I could see 3-4 people being ideal for this room, but it was still doable with 2. Difficulty: Medium + In-character game-mastering for the intro to give storyline, not just a video or boring text to read + Some of the most mentally satisfying puzzles I’ve ever seen, the Aha moments felt particularly strong + Super unique and creative puzzles, and each one was different from the rest + Mostly non-linear nature helped puzzle flow + Set really looked like an art gallery + Ending delivered on excitement that was building up throughout the room Areas to improve/ Personal preferences - There was heavy wear on many of the locks - One puzzle could be bypassed through random guessing, but not sure how common this is - One puzzle required an assumption that probably needed some clueing

Of the 2 games I’ve played at Boxaroo, both were top notch. Our game master had to do some acting at the beginning, and it was very believable and immersive. The game itself had an interesting theme and the set design made me feel like I really was in a small art gallery. Most of the puzzles made sense and were a pleasure to execute upon. Overall, I would highly recommend conundrum museum.

did this room as a pair, even though we knew it would be very challenging. I absolutely loved it! there were multiple puzzles and ideas we had never encountered before in our 20+ rooms, which always impresses me. the set design was great as well, with a good variety of puzzles to cater to different strengths and teamwork. highly recommend!!

We did Storytellers Secret last time we were in town and absolutely loved it— it’s one of our favorites. so decided to do this room this year. This room is fine but it’s no Storytellers secret. Lots of puzzles to work on simultaneously which is good. our game master heard how experienced we are and made the room harder by removing some clues from the room. Unfortunately she removed too many clues for one of the puzzles and we were left stumped. We are not a team that asks for clues so we just stood there all 4 looking at one puzzle for quite some time. Ultimately she slid a clue that she removed under the door and we were able to figure it out. That really took away from an otherwise cool room with nice puzzles. Even still we escaped with ~20 minutes to spare. So that was a bit of a bummer. We hate escaping THAT fast. It’s a let down. Cool room. Fun puzzles. If you are very experienced go with a smaller group (2 would have been better than 4 for us).

cool stuff-- lots of puzzles near the beginning so bring a group, and one puzzle near the end that was a little nonsensical but overall cool and fun.

Escape room puzzling at the highest level. The game kicked off in a very memorable way, before an hour full of challenging yet satisfying puzzles. Plenty of puzzle types we’ve never seen before, too! The lighting and artwork made us feel like we were making our way through an actual art gallery, where puzzles slowly started to reveal themselves upon closer inspection. If you have a few escape rooms under your belt and you enjoy puzzle solving, you will be greatly rewarded with this game.

A LOT of fun for two people, but we needed some hints as we got closer to the end. This is my favorite type of game - loaded with locks, keys, and buttons. I preferred this over Magician's Study because of the sheer number of puzzles and their variety, but I do think Magician was more thematic. Storyteller remains on my list for now!
