Ink & Ashes

Absolutely adored this game. Great puzzle and story. Our game master Jamie was fantastic. Exceptionally clever and satisfyingly challenging

Awesome room and loved the flow. Pretty linear but the tasks were fun and very rewarding. It’s listed as hard and I would say it is correct for those not too seasoned in escape rooms, but for avid enthusiasts I think it could be a high medium difficulty. There’s quite a bit to do though so be mindful of time. We just squeezed by with 49 seconds left to spare and with no hints! Our family of 4 really enjoyed this room and really felt accomplished as we escaped. I highly recommend this as a must do, especially if you’ve got a good amount of rooms done under your belt. We’re still talking about it and analyzing our tasks hours after completing it, so I feel they did a successful job immersing us in the story. On a side note, our GM Ryan was way cool and threw a little easter egg in the game for my birthday. It was a nice touch. He even spent a good amount of time talking with us after about the room, which is always a plus! He really took our experience to another level with just his enthusiasm. A really good escape room all around.

Excellent narrative driven experience. Layout of sounds stood out in this game-great story-interest points that kept up with the pacing of the game. We loved the scents and environment choices within (especially the first and last room). Lots of great, original puzzles that fit well into the theme and story with some great reveals that made the space feel ever-changing. Blanking on his name, but our late night guide was a highlight as well! This game is a hidden gem in LA area and we’re excited to return when more experiences open.

We absolutely loved! As others have mentioned, lots of puzzles. Will keep a group busy for sure. Set was very well done and story was the best “detective/murder mystery” style any of us have seen. Flow was mostly logical and kept good variety throughout. 9/10. Really enjoyed. ☺️

8/10 This room is a pure definition of a perfect 8. Fantastic puzzles, easy to follow story, great mix of tech and mechanical locks, fun production, and did I say puzzles? Because there are a lot! Would recommend 4 for this experience. Played it with two and we barely made it out before getting burned.

very good used of a reskinned room, but its an entirely new theme and puzzles. the sound and lighting cues helped progress the narrative very well. puzzles were clever, intuitive and had alot of layers to them.

Great gameplay. All the puzzles are very much integrated into the story and make sense. The timer stops and the room makes you pay attention to the story at each step, which was fantastic. Puzzles were great, and while the means of getting to it involved a lot of tech, all puzzles for the most part led to a lock. Great use of space, and quite a few unique puzzles in there. This is an absolutely fantastic room.

We did the Christmas version of this room and were blown away by how different this new room was. We found this room quite challenging and needed a few hints. Great story with lots of detail. Challenging puzzles. Exodus did a great job keeping us on our toes here and we almost didn’t make it out, which is unusual for us. We had 4 people and we were all working hard. Great story and puzzles. Definitely recommend.

It was a refreshing murder mystery room. I’ve done a few of these types in the past but this one is the best. The production quality was great! The clock paused for some storytelling which was nice. The puzzles were pretty straight forward and were satisfying to solve. If you did Clark’s Crazy Christmas you will notice some familiar elements. This room is a reskin but it feels like a different experience. This room is worth checking out.
