Pandora’s Box

Pandora’s Box was a wonderfully simple but unique escape room. Getting close to the 150 mark, I’ve seen a lot of cool effects in the rooms I’ve done but this one still had stuff that I hadn’t seen before. The conceit of the room is Pandora’s Box opening and the gods of the 4 elements being released upon your group. Their representations of those elements were beautifully integrated through effects like heat lamps, fans, and water sprinklers. The puzzles were pretty straightforward but explored a myriad of ideas. The space was also well-utilized as I didn’t expect a second room but was surprised to find one. Rose was a lovely gamemaster and personable host.

Very atmospheric and cool room! Love how tactile everything is and the use of different sensory effects made it unique. It's linear, so only 2 people are needed, up to 3 if you're not as good at puzzles because you can only solve one puzzle at a time. Love that there was not a lot of lock and key. If you finish early, there are bonus puzzles pertaining to the story to fill the remaining of the time, which was fun! I like that because sometimes we finish rooms early, but pay for a full hour and feel like it's not worth it, but these extra puzzles were good. A little expensive for 2 people, try to get a discount code.

Me and my partner loved everything about this room. The puzzles the atmosphere. The interactive character that helps you along the way. There were puzzles in this room that were very creative and I hope for the best for this business. I thank our GM Jack who made it the best experience for us.

Completed all but one bonus puzzle.

The room effects were cool, but the game play was very linear, which doesn’t work well for big groups. I played with six people, and that was definitely too many.

Awesome room that while small in size is big in effects! The puzzles around the titular Pandora’s Box were well themed and tested different abilities. It’s not too hard, and our small team of 2 managed to get out in about 35 minutes AFTER arriving late. So we actually only had 40 minutes to do the room but we still made it out. We didn’t get the chance to do any bonus adaptive puzzles, since we were late and low on time, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the adaptive puzzles in other rooms anyway so no big loss. Great GM helped us expedite the process of checking so we wouldn’t lose too much more time. Might not be for everyone because it is smaller in scale, but it’s perfect for small groups like us who maybe got more than we bargained… It’s what we get for opening Pandora’s Box…

Great, my all time favourite, good puzzles, clever game!

Very thematic room with cool effects. Puzzles themselves were mostly simple, a lot involving logic switches, but did have a couple unique mechanics and reveal effects. As others have said, this room is very linear and I wouldn't recommend more than 2 people honestly. I did it with my son and we managed to finish the main room and extra puzzles with 6 minutes left. The main room is much stronger than the extra puzzles, I would say, but still a good experience. Still an easy recommendation as the theme and main puzzles flow well and the effects are cool.

One of those rooms where you can feel the love and passion the creators put into it. Set design was really awesome and had cool effects, puzzles were new and unique. Definitely worth a try. No more than 4 people though. Did this with 2, had some time left over.

A lot of really fun effects, but unfortunately completely linear, with only one single-player puzzle available at a time, despite the central set piece being a big cube with separate puzzles on each side. Very much a single-player experience, with all of the puzzles presented one at a time, and none needing more than one player to solve. In fact, there were several times where one player would be doing the one puzzle available, and have to "shoo away" the other players who were trying to help but were just getting in the way. Two of the puzzles were of the frustrating "button 1 rotates A 90*, and B 180*, button 2 rotates B -90* and C 180*, etc." variety, and several of the locks had been lazily scrambled so that they were already set to about 80% of the solution. One neat thing is that this room had "bonus puzzles", which are unlocked by how much time is left when you complete the room, and then how much time is left when you complete each subsequent bonus puzzle. We got through 2, and I think there are 4 total. That's a cool twist that I'd love to see more of.
