The Ringmaster

My team and I did Ringmaster and we had a blast! Mika was our game host, and she was so fun and enthusiastic. You can tell that she really loves her job! Ringmaster is another solid room. Due to the sheer number of puzzles, the room is less linear than Asylum. The story was interesting and more than a little disturbing. I cannot wait to see where the Dare2Escape lore goes next. Be warned though, this room will be closing some time in the near future. There isn’t an official date yet as far as I know, but if you are interested in playing The Ringmaster do not wait! While I would not classify this room as spooky or scary, there are clowns and balloons in it so if you have an aversion to those (like I do) keep that in mind when picking this room.

The room was well themed. Just a lot of little puzzles to complete.

Game master didn’t give us updates on time despite asking for clues and checking in. There wasn’t a timer in the room either so we were surprised when he came in to tell us time was up. Normally we have a warning so will ask for extra clues to get through the game etc

Ringmaster is our favorite room at Dare 2 Escape so far 🎪 If you’re thinking about doing it, go soon because I’ve heard it might be replaced and this one is 100% worth playing before it’s gone. The vibe is really well done. It’s spooky but not actually scary, and they handle the clown theme in a way that feels fun and immersive instead of creepy for no reason (which I appreciate lol). The puzzles flow well and keep you engaged the whole time, and the ending is super unique. It’s one of those moments that makes the room stand out after you finish. Only complaint is that a couple of the locks were sticking which slowed us down a bit. Overall such a fun room and definitely my top pick at this location right now. Current ranking at this locations is 1.) ringmaster 2.) video store 3.) at the hop

Solid room overall. Interesting puzzles, cool set, consistent theming. Middle of the pack for Dare2Escape, which is to say it’s quite good as the company puts out fantastic games.

Fun game. Fantastic atmosphere and great concept. Mix of tried and true puzzles and so many unique elements perfect for the game We had a bit of an off day but got going mid-way through. Puzzles were fair and logical Would be perfect for three people but 4-5 adult sized humans would work (we did it with two) The folks running the place were fantastic - love the place and team there

Good room. We have enjoyed all of the rooms we have done here. Probably my least favorite of the ones that we have done, but still a good room. It does have a lot of locks to go through, so be prepared for that. I really liked the ending.

Pretty fun room, but nothing super special or exciting. There are better rooms at this location for sure. Some of the puzzles in here felt out of place or like we really had to reach to figure them out. Also, it is a bit spooky! If you’re scared of clowns or easily startled keep that in mind.

Overall a really fun and spooky room! Immersive and a fun take on the theme. A few frustrating puzzles but mostly because we’re not good at those types.

Overall a good playthrough. From the rooms i’ve played there though, definitely the weakest room. Nothing particularly spectacular or worth raving about but a solid room overall!
