Monsters from the Abyss

This room was super fun with some great effects but the main mechanism got a "bit" tiring especially with some lengthy puzzles requiring a lot of usage. Regardless, worth your time as it is one of the best rooms in the area. Love good practical effects!

This was a really cool concept we have not seen before. Difficult room. We required several prompts, but still a fun room. High tech and great props.

Was a different concept that I was used to. The room had a good flow except one spot that was a little unclear. The staff was amazing

Rating: 4.5/5 - Wow, one of the most innovative sets I've ever seen, plus everything is tech Pros: ➕ They do something really cool in this room, it's a unique design. I've seen feeble attempts at this affect probably 10+ times in other rooms but no other company comes close to what they achieved here. Days later, I'm still trying to figure out how they did it. ➕ Set aesthetically looks great and is highly immersive ➕ Fully tech based puzzles (everything worked), no padlocks. Despite the tech, they still include tactile/physical interactions ➕ Great use of audio and special effects ➕ Fun storyline and progression, I like how the puzzles/tasks relate to the story. ➕ Climactic ending ➕ Some nice surprises and amusing moments ➕ GM is friendly and helpful Minor cons: ➖The flow can be a bit choppy due to some waiting that's required ➖Some of the puzzles weren't that fun, felt a bit tedious Room is a bit creepy at times with some minor startling moments (no major jump scares) but I wouldn't consider it scary. I recommend 2-4 players the game is very linear, you can solo this (like I did) but the GM may need to bypass some puzzles that require more than 1 person. My ranking of Memphis Escape rooms I've played starting with my favorite: 1. Jurassic Project 2. Monsters from the Abyss 3. Shipwreck Cove 4. One Night in the 90s

In effort not to spoil it- absolutely beautiful room! Incredibly cool, the storyline flowed well with the puzzles, and there were just many times where u couldn’t focus from fangirling over how cool the room was. I think Gamers in particular would looooove this room- it’s the one I used to get my partner into doing rooms with me lol. I think this room is a great example for why MER stands out from others here.

An interesting and cool concept with some nice puzzles but I can't give it a better score due to the amount of people the room lets in and also because one of the puzzles is no good, no one in the group would have gotten it.

This game is amazing and you have to try it out! Definitely a must do game when you visit!

Extremely cinematic and very unique set design. I've been very impressed by how much care they put into the design of their rooms at this company. It is uniquely beautiful.

I wanted to love this room, but it was just ok for us. The design and running of the room are impressive for sure. The concept was great, but we felt it lacked a little in execution, especially with the monster theme. We were hoping for a creepier, more intense experience than what it was (possibly more of an issue with expectation than an issue with the room). If you want to be scared, this room isn't going to do that for you. The room felt dated, and it seemed that we had to manipulate puzzles a few times for them to work properly. We had a fun time and admired how they ran the room (love this idea and could see it being awesome with a different concept), but we never felt immersed in the room and felt some elements that were supposed to be scary seemed a little silly. It was one of their weaker rooms for us.

The idea is great and the room is really cool. All reviews are great but it wasn’t our favorite room. I think we just prefer a more traditional room but I’m glad we did it! We loved their other rooms more than this one.
