Working on behalf of the secretive ONEIROS company, your team is tasked with investigating a research site deep underground. There, a group of scientists had recently uncovered an artifact that was key to breaching an anomaly known as "The Passage". In response to their sudden disappearance, you must scour the entire site, retrace their steps, and perhaps even traverse "The Passage" yourselves. ONEIROS needs answers and the missing artifact back in company hands at all costs.

Greatest Takeaway: The customer service and game master is the best we’ve experienced from all the Escape Rooms we have visited across the US. The people here VERY clearly care. The room was incredible with some of the best effects we’ve had in rooms. The puzzles were consistent difficulty with many unique encounters. There were some great surprises throughout that will completely catch you off guard (in a good way). We drove eight hours to experience it and have zero regrets. Really looking forward to coming back soon for their other rooms. Lastly, they use an iPad as their clue/communication platform which I thought was a really impressive addition. It was great to not have to run around for clues or general questions.
AMAZING!

Unique Themeing elements I’ve never seen before.
Room could use some more story driving elements as it’s easy to forgot your “purpose” but that’s just nitpicking at this point.
Hard
It was a challenge for us. But we are experienced game players. I would not recommend this for your first escape room… but PLEASE do it once you’ve had a few under your belt.
Mechanical
I wrote mechanical but really it was a good mix.

Not scary
There were a few slightly scary sounds but that’s just because I’m a wimp.

But please, “get yo kids”. Be a parent and don’t let your kids destroy this beautiful room. The amazing theming does create some more “Fragile” features, destructive children and their passive parents could easily do damage to this room.

Unfortunately this room would be challenging for individuals with mobility concerns. However, the amazing staff would definitely work with parties on this to ensure a great experience for all.

My partner said this was likely his favorite room he’s done in the 8 or so we’ve completed together. The set design was impressive. The GM (who I believe was also the owner) told us afterwards that he doesn’t have a set designer and had two people take about a year to design the room. A lot of work went into the design and it really showed! There were quite a bit of puzzles in the room, but very few were linear, which would allow for bigger groups to play. We had five enthusiasts and there wasn’t a point where any of us were really sitting around waiting for another puzzle to be completed. The moment between the first and second sets was really impressive! I haven’t seen that in any of the other 30-ish rooms I’ve done so far and it was really cool and worked well in the story. The communication between us and the GM was really nicely done! There was an iPad you carried around with you and “notes” from headquarters would display on the screen. I don’t typically like rooms where you’ve got to carry around tech from room-to-room but this worked in-game! The GM was great. He was very attentive and gave us hints just enough to get us to realize what was needing to be done. There were also no moments, I believe, where we were sitting shouting at the sky that we needed a hint, which shows how attentive he was to understand the prompting we needed before we were completely confused. Overall, I was really impressed with this room! Their other rooms are in the same universe and this story and it made me want to play them all! Very well done, especially for a smaller owned company. You can tell there was a lot of love and passion put into the game!

Rooms are fairly big for groups, lots of non-linear puzzles, but one item for sure needed 3 people to make work, although the GM told us afterwards they have work arounds for 2.

Puzzles were fairly difficult, but none that I think would be super inaccessible if your group included an older child or two.

There is a step up that is kind of steep. Team member told us afterwards that the booking included an ask about mobility that would have helped them breach it if necessary.

Rating: 4.5/5 - One of my favorite rooms in the Midwest. The set is very immersive with great "wow" moments and multiple areas. First time I've seen a certain very cool and large element used in an escape room and it was very well done. The puzzles were challenging but not unfair, many had satisfying solves and I liked how tactile the puzzles were and how much teamwork and communication were needed. Lots of tech was used, very few locks but they fit the theme. The GM was very attentive and provided just enough help to keep us from stalling for too long. We even had a chance to talk to one of the owners and he was enthusiastic and seemed like he genuinely cared about his customers' enjoyment. There are puzzles are very non-linear so there was a lot for our team to do, you definitely want 4-5 people. I would not recommend this room for beginners.

An awesome room designed and run by an excellent GM who felt like a true escape room enthusiast. I did find one puzzle slightly unintuitive, and there was a section that was a bit hard to do with only 2 people (though there was a workaround). However, outside of that, I loved the room. There is a story, and the production values are really high -- with everything actually fully functional. Without spoilers, there are some cool twists as you progress through the room that felt unlike anything I had seen done before. Also, the puzzles didn't feel like the typical variant of puzzles you find in escape rooms, with a lot of them being actually different and requiring multiple steps of logic to parse. I highly recommend it, even if it is a bit of a trek to get there. I hope I can try the other rooms here at some point.

Overall, a fantastic room! The set design was amazing, with several novel aspects and a great spectacle factor! Puzzles were solid, there were some interesting multi-part puzzles, and the room gave a good challenge, the 90 minute time allotment is definitely needed. The main drawback is that it’s very hard to hear your team members during different parts of the game. We played with one member who has hearing loss and she was almost rendered unable to participate at the beginning of the game. However, the noisy set feature is really cool, so it’s hard to criticize that part too much. My other criticism is the hint system/timer. It’s an iPad you carry with you throughout the game, which I’ve encountered before and honestly I just don’t like it, it becomes a burden to carry along and keep track of. At the end of the day, this game is definitely worth your time and I’d say it could be one worth traveling for.

Loved the atmosphere and puzzle variety for this room! We went in with 3 people so it was a lot to spread but was a perfect challenge for us. There are a couple twists which caught us off guard and delighted with each reveal. Was worth the trip to experience for sure but not super beginner friendly so make sure to bring a ringer or 2 and you'll be fine.
A lot of varied puzzles and methods to progress that required team work and multi level puzzle solutions.
Felt like we were whisked away to the setting and the story was engaging but not too in the way.
Joe and Damien were nice and fun to talk to after the game. Made sure we had a good experience from start to finish.

There is a transitional section in this room that could be disorienting/ triggering to photosensitive people so just let them know before hand if that may be an issue.

“The Passage at Twisted Limits Escape Rooms is a unique hidden gem and is well worth a visit.“
