Through The Sugar Glass

My experience with this room is that it's fine overall - not bad but not great. There's lots of puzzles and I appreciated the continuous theming and playful areas. Some pieces were noticeably worn down. It appears non-linear but I think it actually works linearly, so while there's a lot to see and explore, there's only one intended path forward. I perhaps would have had a better time but sometime near the start, the GM started telling us what to look for despite stating explicitly that we didn't want hints. It stopped after I reminded them that we were a no-hint group, but having those moments of unsolicited help took away the satisfaction of exploring our own way, or knowing whether or not we would have figured it out ourselves.

I absolutely loved this escape room!! I’ve been to 3 of the escape rooms at Quest Tavern so far and they’ve all been super fun and high quality! This one is great for little children tag alongs but do require adults to solve the puzzles because some of them are a bit on the harder side. Candy!!! You can eat them!!! Need I say more?? 🤣 But if you’re somehow not convinced, then super immersive puzzles that are NOT lock reliant, lots of sounds, lights, fun and cute things to do! Non linear so it’s a lot to take in in the beginning! Theme is consistent and cute! Great for groups of 3+. We did it as a 2 person team and went slightly over time lol. Our GM Patrick was kind enough to let us finish because we were close enough to the end. All the puzzles were novel and unique and I enjoyed it from beginning to end! 🥰 Thank you again for the wonderful experience!

Great room and fabulous mechanisms and aesthetics. It was so clever!

Really fun room with some multi-layer puzzles. Real, edible candy given throughout the game to encourage you as you complete the different puzzles. Completed with 2 people, but I think 3 would be a good number. Small space, but good use of it all. Hope you're not color blind, or some puzzles may be tricky. Would recommend!

Really fun room!! Would be prefect for a birthday party or something just generally festive. Lots of really cool effects and a good variety of puzzles. None of them left me frustrated or felt clunky. That said, I wish one or two more puzzles were a bittt more difficult. The amount of puzzles made up for some of them being easy though. The room was super immersive with lots of fun surprises and overall the decor was really detailed and gorgeous!! The real candy in the room was an absolute highlight— I got an extra shot of serotonin every time I solved a puzzle that had some. Also the story was super clear and I was pleasantly surprised how well it flowed with the puzzles. Unfortunately the room uses really noticeable AI in several places that I think ruins some of the whimsy Our GM Haley was amazingggg, very sweet to talk to and always knew when to chime in. She was also very patient with us starting mildly late. If this room had one more difficult puzzle and swapped out the AI art, I’d say it’s 10/10. Until then 8/10

our game master haley was so great and very accommodating! the puzzles and effects were fun but i was disappointed that there seemed to be some ai used in the room.

Seriously the most fun I’ve ever had in a room! I couldn’t stop smiling! It was so silly in the best way ever, so much candy too!!! Diego was our WONDERFUL host and made the experience even better somehow!!!! We had such an amazing time.

Done 28 rooms so far and this was one of my favorites! The set was incredibly well designed down to every detail- including themed scents! The puzzles were so perfectly aligned with the theme and story, and challenging enough to make us work for our escape! We used a couple hints, but figured everything else out in just enough time. There were 5 of us, and that was enough. Some spaces are small, but there are multiple spaces to discover. The GM and the rest of the staff were the friendliest, most genuine people! Their enthusiasm was contagious! This room could be described as linear a bit (more so towards the end). The ending is definitely one of the more fun endings of a game I’ve ever done! All around love, love, loved it!!!!!

Through the Sugar Glass was such a cute and fun experience, and honestly the best way I can describe it is that it felt like Candyland turned into a full escape room. The moment you step inside, it feels like you’re in a magical, Christmas-like world that’s warm, whimsical, and full of nostalgia. We did this room with our kids right before Christmas as a special treat, and it ended up being the perfect choice. They had been asking to do another escape room, and this one was so family-friendly and fun that they enjoyed every minute of it. The set design was incredibly thoughtful, with so many cute details throughout the room. From the giant candy-themed elements like lollipops, gumdrops, gingerbread, and peppermint, to the overall atmosphere, everything felt like it was designed to make you smile. There were also a few fun surprises we weren’t expecting, which made the experience even better. It’s a room where you should be ready to move around a bit, since there are moments where you may need to crawl or go up stairs, but it all adds to the adventure and keeps it engaging the whole way through. One of our kids’ favorite parts was that there were sweet treats included during the experience, which made it even more exciting for them and added an extra little touch that felt special. Quest Tavern always does an amazing job with immersion, and this room was no exception. Even their lobby sets the tone and makes the experience feel fun from the moment you walk in. Our game master was Diego, and he was great. We had played with him before in another room, so it was really fun getting him again and seeing how he helped bring this experience to life. Overall, Through the Sugar Glass was a 10 out of 10 for us. It’s a great option whether you’re going with kids, with a partner, or just if you want something light, whimsical, and feel-good. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend it.

A fun, lighthearted escape room! I really enjoyed the theme and the puzzles that fit perfectly! Loved the sweet treats throughout the game too!
