This is a great room, one of our favorites! It really is a beautiful set, and rich with lots of puzzles. Some of the puzzles are small, easy wins - probably great for kids. Definitely worth going for the experience.

This fun new addition was a great game. Normally, Christmas rooms are super easy and not worth the price, but this is just like every one of their other great games. We only had a few minutes left and thoroughly enjoyed it the entire time. It had great pacing and great puzzles. It plays like a permanent room, not like a Christmas room. So much fun!!!

Accessibility

Not handicapped accessible, there are stairs from the check-in to the game room. We mentioned that the lights were dim (most likely for ambiance) and we were told we could use the light switch. Problem solved!

We were lucky and got a space right next to the door

Another great one from Mystery Soup. If you did the old Inheritance, exactly none of the puzzles are the same, so this will be a completely new experience. A good one for fewer people -- we had 5, probably too many, we finished before the 40 minute mark. Thank you to our gamemaster Curt!

Another wonderful room at Mystery Soup. This was so adorable and this would be perfect for families with young puzzle lovers. The puzzles were intuitive - and adorable. Even without youngsters, us two enthusiasts quite enjoyed this room. The ending was absolutely top tier!

A great addition to Mystery Soup! Very family friendly, lots of different styles of puzzles, heart warming theme. Some of us had done the room when it was The Inheritance, but this room really is significantly different. It did not feel like the same room at all. There are MANY puzzles, which was great for our larger sized group, but they are also fairly quick puzzles so it doesn't feel overwhelming. Highly recommend!

The Inheritance: A Very Merry Mystery is a complete rehaul of the previous The Inheritance game, changing everything but the footprint. Story, puzzles and interior are all new, so it’s a great play both for new players and those who have done the original The Inheritance. We liked the previous game very much, but the Christmas- themed new version is a real treat. It’s puzzle-rich, but because the puzzles are at an accessible difficulty level, keeps the players moving and solving speedily. The puzzles flow logically and are wonderfully on-theme. This would be an amazing introduction to escape rooms for kids and families, but it’s so well designed that it was equally a delight for a couple of enthusiasts. As always, the owners and gamemasters are great. I’m almost tempted to borrow somene else’s kids to get to do the game again.
