Twisted Matrix was a great room and another solid experience from Maze Rooms. In general, Maze Rooms always delivers when it comes to set design, immersion, and strong themes, and this room was no exception. It had a lot of fun twists and unexpected moments that kept the game exciting the whole way through. Even though it isn’t advertised as a scary room and it’s definitely not horror, there are a few moments that feel like small jump scares because of the tech and surprise effects. Nothing intense, just those quick “oh wow, I wasn’t expecting that” moments that make it even more entertaining.
The puzzles were great and the room did a really good job mixing things up. This isn’t a traditional, older-style escape room where everything feels basic or predictable. It’s much more modern and high-tech, and the way the room flows makes it feel really immersive and unique. You can tell a lot of creativity went into the experience, and it stays engaging from start to finish.
The only downside for us was that we weren’t able to take a photo at the end. We asked our game master if we could take a picture in the room, and they told us no because it was one of their newer rooms and they didn’t want any spoilers getting out. It was a little disappointing since we always like to get a picture after completing each room, and we’ve seen other groups able to take photos in the room since then. It wasn’t enough to ruin the experience, but it was definitely a bummer in the moment.
Overall, Twisted Matrix was a really fun game and we would absolutely recommend it, especially if you enjoy high-tech rooms with creative surprises and a more modern escape room feel. My partner especially loved it and said it’s now one of his top five favorites, and I can definitely see why
