One of the best. Exceptional, exceptional environment. Cool puzzles. Only one traditional lock, mostly it was more creative puzzles. We got out quickly in our group of 5, 35 minutes, with two people who have never done an escape room before. Very linear play -- don't go with a group bigger than 5. Ideal is 3-4.

This has charm and some good humor, but the puzzles are painfully easy, and the game is quite short. We were 3 and finished in just over 25 minutes. Probably better for beginners (a very good first room option) or for that nostalgia itch. (The Video Store room in Orlando may have spoiled this for me though - that's a lot more real to the nostalgia and loaded with puzzles).

What an elegant, impressive, and whimsical game! Beyond the charming theme is a polished set with spectacular lighting cues; stunning reveals; and clean puzzles that are varied, tactile, and just plain fun. While this experience is overall elegant with immaculate flow, there was one spot where the tech was a little finicky, and there is a certain puzzle that will be nigh impossible for anyone even vaguely colorblind. Overall, though, it’s a fantastic room for enthusiasts and newcomers. Just a joy!

Lockbuster Video may be the best and most creative escape room I have ever done. Without spoiling there are multiple mechanics in the room that are just really fun and you can't find at most other escape rooms. The puzzles are creative (albeit a little easy), but everything about the room just works. 2/3 of our game masters were friendly, however the third (that let us out of the room, a bigger bearded man) was downright rude and clearly was trying to rush out of the room.
The room flows pretty well. I do wish there was a "grand finale" room instead of the kind of abrupt ending that happens, but that may be just because we had 20 minutes to spare.
The gamemaster that greeted us and the gamemaster that put us in the room were both friendly, however the gamemaster that took us out of the room (a bigger bearded man) was rude. In the room there is a prop that is a chewed up piece of gum and, credit to the room, it is very realistic so I just wanted to let him know just in case it wasn't a prop. His response, with a sassy tone, "It's an easter egg", as if he was annoyed by me telling him. We also let him know about a loose screw in one of the rooms and his response (again) was basically to look confused as why we were even asking him. Along with that he just wasn't friendly and was trying to rush us out of the room as soon as possible. This is the 2nd experience I've had here with a game master who doesn't give us an opportunity to breath before rushing us out of the building.

Very creative room. We wouldn’t say it was too challenging. There were unique aspects to the room which we liked because it was different from the regular escape room themes (prison escape, mafia etc).

A very cute little room meant to take you back to a bygone era. Is it exceptional? No, not really. But it plays with its theme well and the puzzles are fun.
Decently fun puzzles, albeit all pretty simple ones.
Great atmosphere, and the puzzles fit the theme well.
As always, 60 to Escape’s staff are excellent.

Look, there are some points where they could have been a LOT more mean with the puzzles. I get that this was meant to be a general audiences escape room, but it would’ve liked it more if it was a bit harder.
Mechanical
Yet again I wish Morty had a “mixed” or “in-between” option. Definitely not super high-tech, but not exactly all mechanical either. Very few physical locks, but most puzzles were physical.

Is it linear? Uh, kinda…? This is definitely a lower player count room.

Well, the writing pad had one of its pieces snapped, but the thing still worked so it’s fine.

Lockbuster video was a standout game at 60 to escape that meshed fun puzzles, a cool environment, and some really great transitions/story elements into one complete package. This game felt unique and we will never forget our time with the Manager!

This is a really nice room! Was able to solve it with two people. My only complaint is that the animatronic Mr. Manager talks a little too much. It’s very cool to watch him talk and gives you a little bit of rest time; it just felt like he was taking up too much time. The use of technology was great and nothing too difficult. Fun play that required teamwork to solve and left me wanting more! They also gave us free stickers :)
