Ink & Ashes

Beautiful design, very intricate. Loved the story plot, it was challenging and hard! The set was really cool and everything from the texture to the temperature was perfect. It was a little spooky but not to spooky. It was wonderful!

Easily top 5 games I’ve done. Challenging room, but extremely fun throughout the whole story. The game master was top class. Puzzles were unique. I would do this game in a heartbeat.

This is now one of my favorite rooms! In my top 10, likely top 5 as of writing. It's so well-put together. It's rare that the puzzles, storyline, theme, effects and set just tie altogether throughout the entire experience. We're about 70 rooms in, and there were numerous puzzles we hadn't seen before. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into the details of this game design. Definitely really immersive and enjoyable. I can see why this room is on the difficult side. The puzzles are not necessarily straight-forward (but they were so, so, so appreciated because they're not just simple!). There were so many clever and fun puzzles, and they all helped advance the plot nicely. We did this as a group of 4 and escaped with slightly under 6 minutes remaining. We had 2 beginners and 2 experienced players. Our experience definitely helped us recognize the intentions of certain clues and puzzles a lot quicker. Otherwise, this would be a tough room for a newer group of players. There is definitely a decent amount of things to do, so definitely use your group's size to your advantage. When the room ended, I already knew it was one of my new favorites. It was very satisfying and I really didn't have any complaints. A couple special effects were just so unexpected but fitting and these specific details just really enhanced the experience. I love new and clever puzzles and mechanisms and this room nailed it all. This room did have a good amount of locks/combo locks, and that can age or detract from a room, but there was also a good mix of tech, and honestly the puzzles were so fun that I didn't mind the combo locks at all. Emanual is a passionate and enthusiastic GM and we appreciated his energy. I wish there were other rooms of this caliber here, and elsewhere. This is a highly recommended room!

Ink and Ashes is a very fun who-dun-it escape room! There were a few elements that definitely set it apart from other escape rooms! The only downside is the narrative itself. I like the idea of the story unfolding as you go, but it does disrupt the flow of the gameplay. I still found the room very enjoyable and would definitely recommend it!

Just finished Ink & Ashes at Exodus Escape Rooms and had such a fun time! It was definitely difficult, but that made it even more rewarding. The room was engaging, immersive, and full of fun challenges. Our game master Emanuel was great and really helped make the experience even better. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend it!

Amazing room, super cool story elements, fun puzzles. Highly recommend!

Ink & Ashes is a fantastic escape room that introduces a very novel structure of solving puzzles to solve a murder mystery, almost like a game of Clue. The puzzles are challenging, and our experienced group finished with just a minute and a half left. Our game master Emmanuel was fantastic and respected our wish to not be hinted unless we asked for it. I really respected how courteous the staff at this location were and the high quality of the game they’ve built. I’d highly recommend it! This game is non-linear so make sure you divide and conquer in order to finish everything in front of you. Having good attention to detail is very important when playing this game.

Incredibly fun room solving a murder mystery. Loved the story details throughout solving all the puzzles. I'd say lean closer to 4 people as there's lota of puzzles and some that may be harder to do with 2-3 people. Room was perfect for bouncing between splitting up and coming together for puzzles.

Clever puzzles -- non-linear but flows very well. Immersive set design. Friendly GM. A great way to start 2026. 🤗😁
