Check your membership cards! Eccentric businessman and Harvest Moon Video store owner, Joseph Boddy , is set to retire. He has decided to randomly select several membership cards from his Video Store database and has issued special “golden tickets” to a lucky few. A local newspaper, The Sleepy Hollow Patch, is reporting that Mr. Boddy has laid out a series of challenges throughout his beloved video store for the chosen few, and if successful, the team will be rewarded THE DEED to the store. Mr. Boddy feels it is time for a change in ownership, one that can bring a fresh new upgrade to Harvest Moon Video as a new generation takes the helm of the film world. HMV has always been a prominent fixture on Main Street in the quiet village of Sleepy Hollow, New York. This quaint store continues to be the hot spot in town on a Friday night, as locals fill the aisles look for movies to rent. YOUR membership card has been drawn, and you and your team are anxiously waiting outside the store for further instructions. As you feel the crisp, cool air and take in the smells of the fall season, you listen to the passing cars, wondering when Joseph Boddy will arrive. At exactly 10:31 pm, a video beings to play inside the store. Your instructions are simple. You must gain entrance to the store and complete the tasks within an hour. If you are successful, you will be granted the deed to Harvest Moon Video. However, if you cannot complete his game in time, your car will be towed, and the next team of lucky golden ticket winners will get their change at this one-in=a=lifetime opportunity.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this room. This has jumped up near the top of my list of favorites. The theming was fantastic, absolutely wonderful, especially loved the nice dose of nostalgia. The puzzles were so wonderfully themed as well and they incorporated some unique uses of tech we really enjoyed! There were a lot of puzzles to this room! They varied from fairly simple to some thought provoking more complex ones. We had such a blast working through this room! We escaped with about 5 mins left and just two of us. There is definitely enough puzzles for multiple people to work on at once without tripping over each other. However I wouldn’t suggest more than 4 people as I think it would get a little tight. Highly recommend!

NOSTALGIA, OMG brought back some fun memories. Not hard, but not easy either. This was such a fun room with puzzles I’ve never seen before. If you are under 30 years old you won’t fully appreciate the environment or set design. For the rest of us 30+ this will bring back childhood memories just don’t squirrel out reading the boxes or watching the movies (it’s really easy to do, NOSTALGIA) it is still an escape room.

This was my first room with Dare 2 Escape and I must say, it got me hooked. I love the atmosphere of the building the rooms are in and the room itself did not disappoint. Our GM Bri was absolutely hilarious, at the beginning of our time she tipped out of a rolling chair and that was when we knew it was gonna be a great game. The puzzles were unique and complex and all really flowed with the room theme and story line. I won’t spoil anything but it did really itch the part of my brain that misses blockbuster.

My group did all 7 of Dare’s games in one day and this was probably my fourth place game overall. There were a lot of locks in this room, it was a constant flow, which is great because the puzzles were usually pretty enjoyable but I would’ve liked to see some variation in how codes were input or something so it wasn’t such a lock overload. Overall though this game was quite good, great set that really felt like you were at the video store (I assume…blockbuster filed for bankruptcy when I was like 6 so….)…which actually brings me to a slight problem I had, there were a couple puzzles that were about the duties of the owner/manager/employee of a video store, where you had to the activities of the employees, but…there were several things I’ve never seen, or if I have, I didn’t actually know how to use, which kinda felt like outside knowledge that fewer and fewer people will know. Anyways, overall quite good.

We LOVED this room. It was so nostalgic for anyone who grew up in Blockbusters, and the puzzles were fun and challenging (but not TOO hard, like we felt a lot of the ones in At The Hop Ice Cream Shop were). We had a really fun time and are excited to come back for more rooms in the future.
