The Roosevelt Escape Room

Great room design. We have done all the rooms at palace of fine arts and this was probably slightly better than houdini but attraction and Edison were far better. Although even being one of the lesser rooms st palace, it was still miles better than most rooms. (Edison and attraction are just in a whole other league). Still an amazing room with a lot of fun and engaging puzzles

This room is hard. They lowered the minimum for this game due to covid to 4, and we tried with 4. Escaped in 95 minutes, and it's a 90 minute game. The game master had to come into our game to help us a few times (physically holding things, since there were so few of us). I prefer Edison to this game.

Of the 250+ rooms we’ve done, this is by far my absolute favorite. So many interesting puzzles. Great back and forth flow. Multiple rooms. Non linear and great for groups. I can’t wait to try their other rooms.

Second favorite room at the Palace of Fine Arts. These rooms always hold themselves to a high standard and I feel are worth the price point. Lots of high tech related puzzles here and a fun surprise at the end. Pay attention as there aren't really any red herrings and even if you don't work on it now, you will come back to them. It feels like I went through a journey with Roosevelt. Would suggest at least 6 people for this. Bully!

I would rank this one as my least favorite out of the three that I've done here (Edison, Houdini, and Roosevelt). Echoing what other people have said, the puzzles were immersed in the storyline and required teamwork (features that I look for in an escape room experiences) but what we had to do still felt redundant to me, especially with two puzzles in particular. Those two puzzles may feel frustrating since you have to solve the same puzzle but with a different mindset. We had a group of 7 for this room, and I think that this room has the most square footage so there was never really a time where we were all physically cramped or there was a dull moment. The last room would not be suited for someone with ADA needs. Love the surprise at the end, and those puzzles. This is a classic escape room and would still be in my top echelon of escape room experiences.

Amazing room with amazing puzzles

The place was huge! Definitely needs multiple people to escape.

Like all the Palace Games, this room is best if you just go in not knowing anything about it. You do want a larger group (6-8 is good) as there is a ton of stuff to do. My only regret is that for a large portion of the room the team divides along two “tracks” which must be completed in parallel so I did not get to see everything. But hey, that would be a good reason to play it twice! For me personally this was less impactful than Houdini (which we played right before Roosevelt) but others in the group felt that Roosevelt was superior. That just means that they are both must-plays! Highest recommendation.
