Cabin In The Woods

So, I returned to Just Escape to be pleasantly surprised by The Cabin in the Woods room! My friend and I had been disappointed by another escape room in the area, and since we were already nearby, we figured why not try Just Escape again? I was a bit nervous about The Cabin in the Woods because the reviews made it out to be really hard and impossible without a lot of people. This room made the most sense and had the most enjoyable puzzles of all the rooms in the franchise. The room also gave clues for sequencing (which clues unlock which locks), which are not present in the other rooms. I would recommend this room for more experienced players and The Ultimate Candy Factory for newbies! We wasted a ridiculous amount of time on one part of the room. We were yelling for the game master to give us a hint. We believe that the game master was being changed, and no one was actually monitoring our room. When someone finally responded, they told us to do exactly what we were already doing for 10 minutes, which shows that they weren't watching us. They did mention at the end when I complained that they would have given us more time if they weren't fully booked. This is not a first, as we have had mixed experiences with game masters at Just Escape.

This room was okay at best. The game play did have its positive moments, and I appreciated the use of the five senses. However, certain things in the room could have had better design. A part of the room broke while we were completing a puzzle, and upon trying to notify the game master that we couldn’t complete the puzzle, he simply replied “I can’t” and did not come to help fix the puzzle, nor did he offer a few added minutes for the mistake. Along with that, the game master was not unpleasant, but he did talk down to us & was overall arrogant. I don’t remember if he said his name, but he did say he was a manager. He was more interested in bragging about the difficulty of the room instead of taking accountability for what was broken/not working. Overall, the room was fine for what it was, but we were unimpressed and probably would not return.

This was a fun room. A good mix of puzzles! You need all 5 senses to complete this room!

This was great ! Really innovative but hard and somethings didn’t really match with what you thought it was so it takes away time

It’s the hardest room at Just Escape. The challenge was fun. It just not the one I enjoyed the most. There was definitely one puzzle that a friend of mine figured out and I still don’t understand how
