Bigfoot: Secrets of The Swamp

Amazing experience, and really good room with a lot of puzzles and great actor experience!

Bigfoot is a great game originally created by Puzzle Corp and now hosted by Escape Ventures, which makes sense since they were the ones who designed the room in the first place! The room is rated a 7/10 difficulty, and I think that's pretty accurate. The puzzle flow felt smooth, and our group was able to split up and work on multiple puzzles at the same time without feeling lost. There were a good mix of puzzle types, and everything tied together logically. There's also a live actor who helps move the story forward. They definitely add to the suspense, but the scares are more fun than intense. The storyline itself was easy to follow—we're stranded after our boat breaks down, trying to repair it while collecting evidence that Bigfoot is real before making our escape. One final piece of advice: if you're playing this room... just know that Bigfoot has a thing for big feet. That's all I'll say. 👣

Amazing room! Reminds me of Exterminated: Terror at the Junkyard a bit. Very immersive: great ambiance, great atmosphere, great decorations, just an all around great time!

Fun game with classic puzzles. One mechanism in particular was very fun as we hadn’t seen it before. Michael is an amazing and welcoming host. We appreciate all the accommodations.

This room was super fun, it is a pretty large rooms, spanning 5 spaces and lots and lots of locks, but with just 3 of us (experienced players) we were able to get out in well under the 90 minutes this room gives. A mix of traditional and tech puzzles, and kept us on our feet! 10/10 would recommend!

Bigfoot: Secrets of The Swamp delivers a massive, highly immersive set and a fantastic atmospheric adventure that heavily rewards leaning into the narrative. The gameplay features a great, diverse range of mechanically driven puzzles that prioritize logical flow, and thankfully, we didn't experience any of the prop or technical issues mentioned by past players—aside from having to hold one door closed to prevent further damage after an overly aggressive previous group broke it. The live-actor element is a massive highlight; the acting was a lot of fun, and actively role-playing along with them made the entire experience much more enjoyable. However, the finale did feel a bit anti-climactic. While we were moving sequentially through the tasks, there was a distinct lack of signposting to indicate that we had actually achieved our main objective and were heading into the final stretch. Despite the slightly abrupt ending, the impressive footprint, diverse puzzle design, and engaging interactive storytelling make it a highly enjoyable room.

Great room, love the aesthetic and room building. Enjoyed the live Bigfoot actor. However, some of the puzzle tech wasn’t working 100% well all the time. 9/10

Such a really fun room. They do a lot within a not huge footprint. Yes this is a large room but what it contains and the variety of pieces and experiences are a great feet for the overall space. Very fun story, good flow, nice scares but not too scary. Overall a great room. We had 5 adults and that is probably the upper end of what you want for the space without standing on top of each other. We finished with plenty of time on the clock. This would be a good 3 person room without running into clock issues. Tidbits: Easy parking Lots to do in the area Busy area so watch your schedule Few good rooms here including Echoes which is one of the best in the area (Echoes & Big Foot are their stand out rooms here but don't sleep on Curse of the Mummy)

Overall, great ambiance and a large number / wide variety of puzzles to keep everyone engaged. Unfortunately, the room is also kind of falling apart at this point and in desperate need of repair: there were several exposed wires, broken props, and malfunctioning puzzles.
