Starship: Final Frontier

Wow! 60 to Escape continues to level up in the immersion department. The intro to this room helped us understand the storyline but was too long, and no visuals made it a little boring. The set was strong and the highlight of this room, and the puzzles all made sense with the story and ranged in difficulty, with a good dose of communication puzzles, correlation/observation puzzles and logic puzzles. There was one minor time suck puzzle, one annoying puzzle towards the end and maybe a slight reliance on color puzzles, but they were solid overall, with one endgame thematic communication puzzle being a highlight. This room didn’t have the personality of other 60 to escape rooms, but I still think it is the best room at this location! The ending was memorable as well.

Rating: 3.5/5 - Awesome set, but lacks the typical 60 to Escape charm, they set the bar too high for themselves Pros: ➕Set looks fantastic, appropriately futuristic while going for the weathered look ➕Good use of LED lighting and audio ➕Multiple rooms to explore ➕Puzzles were mostly fun enough, though not particularly interesting or unique ➕Nearly all tech based interactions, only a single padlock ➕Ending sequence was unique and fun ➕Many tactile interactions, I like that they avoid the use of touchscreens even though there are some screens ➕Some non-linearity, so the team can split up at times ➕GM was friendly and helpful Room for improvement: ➖One puzzle requiring at least 2 people was frustrating because of the timing involved. It felt like a huge time suck. ➖This is their newest room, but the puzzle style starts to feel a bit repetitive after playing most of their other rooms. ➖It lacks the quirkiness, charm, and comedic moments of their prior rooms ➖No animatronics or impressive/unique tech like in some of their prior other rooms (they set the bar too high for themselves 😂) ➖Intro audio did not have any interesting visuals and felt way too long I'd recommend 3-4 enthusiasts, our team of 4 completed it with less than 10 min left with a couple of minor nudges for things we missed. One person will need to crawl. Update: My ranking of 60 to Escape rooms (all locations) so far starting with my favorite. 1. Lockbuster Video ❤️ 2. Cheesie's Pizza Party ❤️ 3. Invasion ❤️ 4.

I really love 60 to Escape as a company, so I was very excited to try out a new room by them. This is a good room. I liked the storyline that leads to an interesting conclusion, and all the technology worked very smoothly. The production and atmosphere felt a bit more bare bones than I am used to with this company, and there wasn't any wow factor. I think the one thing that just prevented it from being a super enjoyable experience was a single puzzle near the end that felt like it relied on a lot of instinct and trial and error instead of being like an actual puzzle. We spent over 10 minutes on it and found it frustrating. Outside of that though, it's a pretty good room, just not at the level of some of this company's absolute best.

Captain’s log: Stardate 91325. I’ve come across a stunning starship with a stupendous story. It was filled with good puzzles, none of which were too hard but they all had clever inputs. A technological marvel and lots of interesting locks in place. One of them in particular was fascinating, and I’ll have to report it to HQ because it really tested our survey team of 2. The design of the starship was incredible, and it made for an entertaining trip through the cosmos. It was worth it to make it to the final frontier, which had an intriguing finale of its own. This voyage was worth it. Live long and prosper. 🖖

The atmosphere of this game was great! If you’re a fan of space themes, you’ll enjoy this room. Every GM at 60 To Escape has been great and this time was no exception. There’s one puzzle that I wasn’t a huge fan of, but we got through it. Pretty linear, but that’s fine. Overall, another really fun room from 60 To Escape!

Visually stunning room with fun twists on classic 60 to Escape puzzles. Choose your own adventure ending tied the whole room together. A few puzzles felt like they were made to suck time, but they fit into the theme.

Another BANGER from 60 to Escape. A great room with some of the best world building they’ve ever done. All of the puzzles were easy to understand and weren’t to overly complicated. 1 puzzle had my group stumped but we pulled through. I highly recommend this room to new and established escapists!
