SEV3N

This has definitely been one of my favorite escape rooms ever played! Hex Room at Crossroads will always be my #1 favorite (and I will die on that hill) and the 13th Basement will be my 2nd, but Sev3n at Deceptive Games just made 3rd place. I cannot say enough about this room. Sev3n, including the other rooms at Deceptive Games, are very high quality escape rooms between the storyline, props, and game play. Sev3n is a smaller space, but they utilized the space very well and efficiently. The props were very important and sufficient in solving the puzzles, and it was helpful to know that the puzzle boxes were nearby the puzzles themselves. This escape room is non-linear, so it’s important to communicate and DIVIDE AND CONQUER! Each major sin had its own difficulty level, so I would recommend a team of 3+ because it could be very challenging with a group of 2, depending on each player’s skill level. I played as a group of 3 the first time around and we didn’t escape (but were close), and then I played again as a group of 2 and just solved the other puzzles that I didn’t solve in the first round. The 2nd time as a group of 2, he escaped (if you know, you know), so it was fulfilling for me to see how Sev3n actually would have ended. Over all, I had such a great time and I’m truly sad this place is closing! I can’t wait to see where they relocate and what rooms they open up next.

Non linear style room that's pretty challenging in nature. What you're solving is pretty close to the actual puzzle/lock/whatever you're solving it for, so it does make it a little easier to figure out. Still, the puzzles were pretty challenging and we escaped with something like 30 seconds to go. The actual puzzles themselves made you think for the most part, although at least one we overthought. Needed a few prods, but we figured them out.

Great room with challenging puzzles, smaller space but lots to do at once

A lot of great Easter eggs to the movie, though no knowledge of it is needed to solve. Great design for a very small space. Challenging puzzles with some cool tech. Had a great time!

We just survived Their Butcher room and still had the rush to do another room. Even after closing, Joseph was able to accommodate us for Sev3n! The room is smaller than The Butcher and normally I would do this with 4 people but we still did it with six which was fine, but it did get a little hot in there. The set design was great, props scattered everywhere and everything you’d expect for this theme. The puzzles were a lot of fun and we ate them all up! It's not scary like The Butcher but maybe at the same level eeriness as The Hex Room. We escaped with about 20 mins left!

Cool concept, in a smaller space. Lots of puzzles, multi-linear

Scared the crap out of me durning some parts of the game but overall a fun room

5/10 Seven? More like Seven layers of hell. If you are two players they actually REMOVE puzzles so you don’t get to experience everything. Multiple things were broken so our game master had to intervene twice. The concept has potential, the execution fairly poor, and the story is muddle-some.

We LOVED this game! Do it! Perfect blend of gen 1 and 2, locks plus tech. Decor and set design is so original, creative, and polished. This one is difficulty level hard for sure but if you can focus amidst all the non-linear going on then the puzzles make sense and are satisfying solves. Not scary but has that seven edge too it. Check it out, it’ll make you want to do all of their other rooms - these guys have mad skills and the right recipe that is so hard for escape rooms to nail down.
