Olympus under Siege

Me and my now husband were having a difficult morning when we started this room, and as with any escape room, it had sway over our communication. The room itself was wonderful, I just don’t have a lot to say because we were having a rough day. The tech was very cool though! GOOD COMMUNICATION IS KEY for this room.

Ridiculously hard. You have to really stretch logic to get through this room

Large room with cool references, but didn’t feel like the game guides let us do the puzzles correctly. Some of the puzzles were ridiculously tricky and random, with the solutions being far from what would have made sense. Appearance wise, also not the most clean looking, slightly dingey.

Pretty good presidential themed room (not quite sure why it’s named Olympus Under Seige to be honest). I liked the parts of the White House that you get to travel to. The puzzles were had a clever theming, although it was annoying trying to figure out which of the many keypads went with which specific code. The GM wasn’t as helpful or attentive as he could have been… While this room is one of the better ones at this location, this whole area isn’t my favorite, and it wouldn’t get my vote.

The concept of this room being “stop the terrorists” theme could either go two directions: being a more diehard type adventure, or something teetering on distasteful. While the room itself was not horrible the concept of it was still somewhat controversial and not one I particularly enjoyed being in. Interesting sets and story line but I could not get past the terrorism theme throughout- I’m a fan of rooms full of fantasy not necessarily realism, and this did not hit home for me.

Had a lot of really interesting puzzles and cool use of space. Made you run back and forth which was super cool.

Well designed room which felt immersive. “Hints” were full answers to puzzles instead of hints. I liked the vibe. Not wheelchair accessible.
