Bikers' Revenge

I wanted to like this room so badly. I really wanted to be able to give it a hot. But I just couldn’t. Here’s my breakdown: Atmosphere, props, novelty: 10/10 This is why I wanted to give the overall experience a hot rating. As soon as we entered, the staff were super friendly and IN CHARACTER! The decor was fantastic: eclectic, mysterious, sophisticated. I was fully immersed. I won’t give away the surprise, but this escape room location is the first one I’ve visited that (1) actually made the opening introduction for the room’s plot interesting and part of the experience and (2) used its staff in such a creative and engaging way. Inside the room as well the set was fun, thematic, novel, and interactive. Gameplay: 3/10 I completed the room with my husband—we do almost all our escape rooms with just the two of us. We also have very different ways of thinking. But both of us found the puzzles very illogical. A lot of the challenge of the room is finding things that don’t really look like they go together and putting them together. And just finding things, in general. I felt like a number of the puzzles were over complicated just for the sake of being difficult. Overall, I did not enjoy the gameplay, but objectively it wasn’t all bad: there was a lot to do, there were many different kinds of puzzles, the puzzles were interactive, and the room was non-linear. I enjoyed the atmosphere and immersion and appreciated the staff so much. I think those positive traits are harder to come by, so I really hope that the location rethinks the flow and logic of their puzzles in future rooms so that it can truly be the full package!

LOVED THIS ONE!!!! First of all, Jeffrey & co. have totally elevated this location since taking taking over after the previous owners. The staff is GREAT, the new interactive elements with The Architect are super immersive, and this game (an Encrypted original) is just truly fabulous. We had a blast! This game is super non-linear, which would be ideal for a bigger group (I’d recommend 3-4 people). I played with a team of two, and we definitely felt like we were being pulled in every direction. But that part was fun & challenging! My only tiny gripe is that there were a couple of times we weren’t sure if our solution to a puzzle was correct and had triggered something, or even WHAT had been triggered. With a few more people, this would probably be less of an issue, but be prepared to be a bit overstimulated by all of the things in there … you may not realize you’ve already solved something and it triggered a mag lock just feet away from you🤣 This is a must-play, and we can’t wait to come back for Cult of the Dragon - a DnD inspired game coming soon 🤞 Also, honorable mention to the soundtrack. It’s a great classic rock playlist that gets you in the zone of the storyline 🎸🏍️

This location was transferred to a new company, and this is the first room they brought in (possibly from one of their PA locations? I notice the same name is closed now at one of them). It has pretty typical bar escape room decor, but a lot more moving parts and interactivity points beyond locks than most escape rooms in the area. Some of the puzzles are challenging but nothing was unfair or inscrutable. There were usually multiple concurrent puzzles that could be worked on, which is always nice even for a smaller group. My wife, five year old, and I barely escaped while using the maximum 3 clues to be on the leaderboard.

Such a fun room! Loved it! Had a blast!
