Cosmic Crisis

Me and my grandma loved Cosmic Crisis at The Escape Game at MOA! It was very well done. The amount of high tech elements alongside physical props helped you get immersed immediately. Once the door was shut, I thought I was inside a spaceship. The lighting, effects, and sound design were all on point. Each element had a purpose and there wasn’t anything that didn’t happen for a reason. The clue giving mechanic is this room is amazing and so lovely. Everything in this room felt purpose built. There wasn’t anything that felt like it was bought off of Amazon. Or at least if it was, it was given a special redesign to fit the theme. The intro story at the beginning was great to get you immersed, but it almost went by too quickly. I would have like a quick recap on why we are supposed to complete these tasks. But there was a recap on what tasks needed to be completed as well as a screen with the tasks listed on it. The staff here is amazing! Aliana at the front desk was wonderful, we told her about our goal to complete all the MN escape rooms, and she and our GM (I’m so sorry I forgot their name) ended up giving us a TEG passport with all the TEG rooms and pins for the rooms we had completed so far, and a Minneapolis location shirt! Overall I really enjoyed this room. 8.5/10

Lots of fun unique puzzles. Our group of two experienced puzzlers happened to be paired with two newcomers. We were able to work together and teach the newcomers escape room basics. We finished with plenty of time to spare

Needs 4 people minimum

This was the first room we did with strangers. The room was great, but I recommend booking it privately and doing it alone. I did not love having strangers along for our date night, even though they were nice😂

Very video game feeling. Interesting experience for an escape room.

Wonderful and fantastic! Excellent experience from top to bottom. Loved it!

hermes is such a cutie patootie!!!!

We had a group of 7 that was super experienced and we breezed through the room. The technology was fun and puzzles flowed super well from one part to another. This is a room where having a bigger group is actually fine, as there’s tons for everyone to do, and having 7 actually felt pretty helpful at parts because we could work simultaneously on the non-linear elements. Fun experience!

Again, pretty good room. Nothing bad. Just nothing out of the box either. Great if you love tech based rooms. The staff were super accommodating, as we had two service dogs with us and a group of 5 people. When I called, they were willing to block off the room for a private experience for no extra charge.

Another great TEG room. A creative twist on the typical space room. Leaned a little heavy into the arcade game component in my opinion, but otherwise a solid room overall. Hopefully we will get more rooms at MOA from TEG!
