The Tears of Freya

I’ve become a big fan of Mystic games because of their obvious care for detail and the overall experience, and Tears of Freya only reinforced my fandom of this business. Before tonight, my favorite Mystic game was the Book of Souls, but now I don’t think I could pick between the two. Excellent game, beautiful set design, massive amounts of fun, and as always, leaving me looking forward to my next visit. Outstanding game, team Mystic!

Wow!! What a great room! We’ve played all the rooms at Mystic’s Littleton location, so we were stoked to see another room open closer to us in Denver. The room was excellent with some fun, techy mechanics and puzzles that were the right amount of fun and challenge. We did the room with four people and it was just right. They have also re-modeled the bar out front, and it is SO cute now! A major upgrade from when this spot was the escapist. The bartenders were very friendly, and we tried one of the non-alcoholic holiday cocktails and it was delicious! You also get a free drink coupon when you escape the room! Excited that they just opened a second room at this location- can’t wait to go back!

Top tier room. Loved the mechanics. Great, great room.

I just LOVED this room. Many original puzzles and you could feel the love of the owners vision in a great way. Everything flowed very well. We didnt experience any of the puzzles not working or malfunctioning and just had fun being immersed in this magical love lore! I highly recommend if you are in the Denver area to do this room. We played 2 people and I would recommend 3-4 or 2 experienced players! Also has a bar which is totally cool for a date/party or all around great night out. Im not a huge fan of a ton of reading or an immense number of locks and this was perfect as the puzzles had some traditional aspects but spun in a modern way and just fun!

Awesome room with tons of tech. Really enjoyed this. Challenging as well.

Mystic!!! Such a great room!!! We’ve done all the rooms in their Littleton location. And this place recently opened. Great vibe and bar! Great room!!! Really cool!

The good: The puzzles were very creative and the decorations were done well. The bad: Some of the puzzles had kinks that need to be worked out. One in particular had an engineering flaw making it so that you could have the correct orientation yet the puzzle would not acknowledge it. That same puzzle had 2 variables to match up 3 different times, but didn’t give an indication which variable was 1st and which was 2nd, making it hard to tell if you figured out the clue or not. Finally, the last puzzle was very simple yet unintuitive, giving a very anticlimactic ending. When things started happening, we all had this feeling of “oh boy, here it comes… the final one!” only to find out that it was over. All 6 of us left feeling different aspects of disappointed. The common thread was that we all felt like too much mental energy was spent on the poor transition pieces and repeated efforts due to puzzle design flaws rather than spending that mental energy on the actual puzzles themselves. Hopefully Mystic can re-think some of these elements and bring this room up to the standard of their other rooms.

Excellent room

Great room. No locks or combos. Nice linear flow with challenging puzzles that really tested us. Family of 3 escaped in 58 min with two hints. The game master, Anna, did not offer any unsolicited hints but clearly tracked the game well as she was on top of it as soon as we needed a hint and offered just the right amount of hint w/o giving it away so that we still had to puzzle things out. We had somewhere to be after but in other circumstances would have taken advantage of the very nice bar and lounge area.

This is a beautiful, imaginative and fun experience that improves upon Mystic Escape Room's already lofty standards established at the Littleton location. The Celtic set was beautiful and often surprising. The puzzles were unique. Not only were there no locks, I can think of only one puzzle that incorporated numbers at all. And yet the puzzles are incredibly satisfying. My one complaint was that one of the "rules" given before the game spoiled a very cool reveal. Can we not have any nice things? Bottom Line: This is a Market Standout: Excellent craft and competence with a clear identity and coherence. It's well worth visiting if you're in the area. Bonus tip! The cocktails in the lounge are excellent. I highly recommend having a drink when you're done with the game.
