Mad Scientist

A really fun room, definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. I really liked the use of a live actor in a non-horror context (it’s actually the owner, Jim). His intro was really funny and involved a little improvisational comedy. A big part of the experience was chilling with him afterwards and hearing how he started out in the industry. Jim was a great listener and we had fun swapping stories. In terms of scenic design, it’s not the most complex or immersive build, but the puzzles were solid and the room has great flow. Difficulty was pretty easy, so I’d recommend this for a group of 2 enthusiasts. As a group of 4, we got out with about 20 minutes to spare. The only speedbump we experienced involved a finicky gram scale. The calibration and accuracy of that particular device was a little off, so the resulting numbers did not align with what we needed. I might recommend removing or altering that puzzle.

This is such a fantastic game. It's a must play for and escape room fan.

Room is a bit older but has aged gracefully. The puzzles are creative and challenging but made sense and there were some that we had never seen before. There were a couple small quibbles with codes for some of the locks but nothing that was overtly lazy or time wasting. Room is possible with fewer than the recommended 4 people but is more challenging

Wow! What a great experience. The game master/owner loves what he does and it’s obvious in every puzzle of this room and with every interaction we had with him. The puzzles were all logical, all felt different from each other, were very fun to solve, and encouraged teamwork. The set design isn’t anything crazy but wow is everything well thought out. No guesswork required. No “I solved this puzzle but I don’t know what it opened”. No frustration, just anxiety of not knowing if you would escape. This room has quite a lot of puzzles. A lot of the puzzles were very unique and creative. This is probably the best one room escape room I’ve ever done. You will be immersed from the second you walk through the door!

I really loved this room. Every aspect of this room was clearly made with passion and love. The puzzles were all creatively designed and fun to solve. They never had any leaps in logic and never felt frustrating at all. The GM was really great as well. He was great at monitoring the group and gave us clues throughout the game whenever we needed it, but it never felt like he was overbearing in any way. The story was very fun and went along with the room nicely. Despite the lower budget of the room, the atmosphere was still well done and matched the puzzles and theme wonderfully. Overall, this room isn’t the most flashy, but has many really well thought out puzzles along with a very fun story that definitely makes this room one of my favorites.

The owner/GM's character was fun to interact with in the lengthy pre-game intro, and was my favorite part of the game. This feels like a passion project, and can be great if you're into that. I like the unusual spin small companies can take on escape rooms, and this is one of them. Gameplay itself was fine - it feels like an older style, one-room, mostly mechanical, but there were still some unusual and interesting moments. As far as set, office/lab isn't that high a bar, and it was also fine.

This was an awesome room! From the beginning, the GM is fully in character, immersing you into the atmosphere. Initially, you might think the room feels a bit bare bones compared to other larger productions, being a single room. However, after doing over a hundred escape rooms, this room still managed to surprise me with unique puzzles I had never seen before. There is still technology in the room, and it's impressive that it works even if it doesn't feel as special effects oriented. I think this room is actually fairly challenging as well, especially with the unique puzzles. I loved it! It's all pointless I tell you.

It's been a while since we did this one, something around 2022 or 2023 but at the time the game was fantastic. The owner was great, story and acting great. Highly recommend

Lovingly built.
