Welcome to Devlin Manor. Mr. Devlin has been murdered. And what you thought was a simple and possibly fortuitous "Reading of the Will" has turned into a deadly, high stakes "who done it" mystery. You have 60 minutes to find the killer and the antidote or you may be the next to join the ghosts that wander the hallow halls of Devlin Manor. Part 1 of the Devlin trilogy.

We paid a visit to our dearly departed, Mr. Devlin, which we were fortunate enough to bring him on our journey with us (via his urn). Lol. We escaped with about 5 minutes left, and we had a fun time. And don’t worry! Mr. Devlin was safe throughout, but we did have to call on the spirit of Mr. Devlin a few times. I wouldn’t necessarily say that this escape room was spooky, even though it’s supposed to give off a little bit of the spooky vibes. It’s pretty well lit for the most part, and the clues were pretty straight forward, but 2 major puzzles were very tedious, so this escape room could possibly test your patience and teamwork. This escape room was the 1st in the trilogy, so it is setting up for the next 2 rooms at No. 1 Escapes. I would recommend a team of 4 and would rate this room as Hard depending on your skill level and confidence. Due to the space and the puzzles, a team of 4 would be most efficient. Special shout out to our Game Master, Amber! Truly grateful that I was able to have her as my GM back at Deceptive Games when it closed, and then I got to have her at No. 1 Escapes. She has the best guest service, and she brought so much to our game before, during, and after our escape! When I return, I am definitely going to request Amber again. She made our experience even better! Overall, we had a really good time in this escape room. You’re given ample amount of time to solve the room, and you become invested in the story because each part of the story is important in solving the different puzzles. You understand it instinctively. It’ll be interesting to see what Carnage Cabin and Fortune Teller have to hold next.
Gameplay
The game play is linear, and the clues were pretty straight forward, however, there are 2 tedious puzzles that were starting to feel like time wasters because of the complexity of it, so just beware and practice your patience lol.

The room was pretty well lit and the hint system was easy to understand and read. But I was pretty impressed with the set design, especially the end. I was really surprised and asked questions about the architecture and structure of the escape room haha. This escape room made strong use of the space that it had.

Our Game Master was Amber! She was so attentive to our needs, she gave us the right nudges when we needed it, and she was patient with us. She brought a lot to our experience because of her guest service and her ability to tell the story of Mr. Devlin. I enjoyed talking to her before and after, and hearing from her experiences as our Game Master haha. I would definitely recommend Amber if you want a memorable escape room experience!

Story
Devlin Manor is the 1st in the Devlin trilogies (Carnage Cabin as the 2nd and Fortune Teller as the 3rd). After playing the 1st room, I can definitely see more of the story unfolding in the next 2 escape rooms because of the way that the story ended. I’m looking forward to the next 2 rooms. It’s a very unique way of storytelling at an escape room company through a trilogy escape room arc.

Morty Roulette! 🥳🎊🎉 No. 1 Escapes isn’t my favorite company. I have previously played Revolution here which I disliked. However this game is definitely a step in the right direction. Some puzzles I disagree with, some extremely difficult or designed to ‘waste time’ just to fill the full hour. But some fun gameplay and transitions (and a very cool reveal!) make up for it. While not perfect, Devlin Manor is a step up (literally) from No. 1’s original games, and I’m excited to see what they cook up next.

A good mix of gen 1 and gen 2 puzzles as you begin a thrilling trilogy. You can tell that the designers truly care and love escape rooms (and know how to execute a really, really cool reveal).

For a manor, the set design was pretty basic but not bad. Some of the puzzles made senses and there were some cool surprises. Dexterity puzzles are generally fun but could be hectics if you don’t commit to it; it could be a time-waster.

Definitely could use more props. Quality is there. But more would be better

Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Any escape room that has chapter is always interesting
Story
There were some cool elements but some could be better executed, like how some clues are revealed for a lock
Difficulty
Medium
There is a dexterity puzzle that will take most of your time if you don’t commit to it. Other reviews mentioned it was a “time-waster” and it’s true. It’s a fun puzzle in general, but not with a timer.

Went into this room with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the room. The story made sense and the puzzles were well placed throughout. Had a nice chat with the NEW owners after the game. They have taken a company that we had previously written off and totally revived it!

Fun room with unexpected elements that elevated the experience. The owner and staff were fantastic, adding to the overall enjoyment. We’re looking forward to returning to do the next two rooms in this trilogy!
