The Asylum

Overall, this was a super fun experience! This is the first game in over 2 years that I have played from a “mom and pop” company, so the production level is less than I was accustomed to, but still genuinely awesome! The puzzles were understandable and flowed well, and the only time we got really stuck was our own fault. The staff was super accommodating with their clueing, as normally they do not allow clues for the first 10 minutes or last 5 minutes, but during the game they will give you clues unprompted after you have been working on a puzzle for 5 minutes. We asked if they could wait to hint us until we asked and they were super willing to accommodate that request! The one clue we asked for was on theme for the room and super helpful without being obvious. There were a few times when we wished that the results of a puzzle had been a little more obvious, but overall everything was clear and intuitive. The one thing that I wish was different is that, at the beginning of the game, before we entered the room, we were given a set of dos, don’ts, and how it works, which is to be expected, however there were several things mention that referenced surprises/hidden pieces of the game that I wish had been more vague (i.e.” you won’t need to force any doors/panels open” instead of “there are x amount of panels in these places that will open after you complete puzzles. You will not need to pull them open, and one of which will need x game component to open.”). Overall though, this was a super fun experience and if I had more time, I would love to try out the rest of their rooms!

Excellent escape room with some unique clues. Creepy with the asylum theme (and sounds to go alongside). A very well designed room with some unique puzzles and challenges. Everything was consistent with the asylum theme. We had fun with 3 people and were able to make it out with 3 minute to spare and a couple of well-timed hints.

The Asylum was fun my party of 4 that consisted of my wife and I who have done a few rooms and 2 others who it was there first time doing an escape room. We finished with 4mins left. It is an older room and they plan on refurbishing it.
