Devlin Manor

fun room, kinda short part 1/3 but felt like we should’ve done all 3 parts in one sitting

Ugh, boring room.

Overall I quite enjoyed this room. The story was fun and I liked that it kept progressing throughout the room as you played, which isn’t usually the case with most rooms. I quite enjoyed the puzzles in this room too. I do wish there were a few more, as we had 15 minutes remaining when we escaped with just 2 people, and we were not rushing. There are two puzzles in here that are not the typical sort that you’d see in an escape room. I really liked them, but I’ve gathered from the reviews that others did not enjoy them and found them to be quite a time sink. However I do believe they have logical approaches to solving them, so I think they are appropriate for an escape room. But I could see why you’d find them super frustrating if your brain just doesn’t work that way and you can’t get past them. You can’t really be given a clue for solving them, so they could be really tough if you can’t figure them out. All in all, I enjoyed this start to the trilogy of rooms and would recommend.

We escaped with a lot of time left, but I wouldn't say it was because we were super good. It was because the room didn't have enough elements to keep us in the room for longer for a group of 4. Also, the games in this series being marketed as a trilogy made no sense. The three games' storyline didn't seem to flow together / were related at all and just throwing in some common names or roles throughout the storyline doesn't cut it.

Like the other rooms, this one has janky locks that are super finicky. Reuse of puzzles from their other rooms and nothing really cool. One of the puzzles fell apart. Another super linear room. I wouldn’t recommend this room. Good staff, bad room design.

Listen, I’ve given these rooms 3 chances and 3 times they’ve disappointed. Some puzzles are obtuse and some puzzles required hand holding PRIOR to entering the room. We got in at a 45% discount and it was still not worth it. Puzzles are janky and locks don’t work. I’ve done many rooms and No 1 rooms is just not it.

Liv was a very good game master and the game was very fun

Very simple room. Be prepared to get on your hands and knees with no padding :(

Decent enough room. Pretty beginner friendly and I’d definitely recommend not bringing too many people. 2-3 really should be the max for this. Lots of crawling back and forth. Story was kind of all over the place. Nice and simple for a date night or to introduce someone to escape rooms!

This was a simple, linear, and enjoyable escape room. The rating says “hard”, but my boyfriend and I felt that this room was one of the easier ones we’ve done. The puzzles are very straightforward and easy to solve, but yet still make you think for a bit.
