Mark as done to rate

It is July 14th 1863, You are a Union officer based in Columbus, Ohio and are tasked with uncovering Confederate Sympathizers in the North. Ever since Brigadier General John Morgan entered Union territory with his Calvary, things have been busy. Yesterday he was successful in crossing over into Ohio and began conducting raids of homes. He is posing such a threat that General Burnside declared Martial Law in Cincinnati. Things have gotten crazy… some rumors even say he is on the way to Columbus! This morning you received a tip about the home and stables of a local barrister whose family is originally from Charleston, South Carolina. It is reported that the stables have been very busy at all times of day and night, and it is suspected that Southern dispatches are being routed through the home, possibly even top secret letters to Morgan himself. You discover that the family attends a special service at church every week, and this potentially creates an opportunity for you to search their home without compromising additional intelligence by arresting the family. Can you get in the home, and find information on where General Morgan is headed and any secret documents stores here before the family returns from service? Capturing General Morgan and his men could be the beginning of the end for the Confederacy!

We have done 2 other rooms at this place years ago. Both had wonderful potential but ended up frustrating and disappointing 👎🏼. Tried this room and will say it is far more satisfying than Titanic or the Castle. Multiple rooms and low on the frustration level. We enjoyed the 2nd room the most. Looking back, we spent plenty of time looking for something in the first room and had we found that in 10 minutes rather than 20, we would have been out in 30 minutes. That said, this isn’t a bad room, just wish we had more things to do. Beware as other reviews note, this room tends to be on the dark side (lighting wise). But you can use your phones for addition light as needed.

We used a parking garage and though normally easy enough, the day we went was a holiday or sorts and they charged a flat $25 for “EVENT” parking.

We got out with 3 minutes to spare but a huge chunk of our time was spent just hunting for things in the darkish room. We probably spent 20 minutes just looking for our next clues. Without that it would’ve been a much quicker win.

Great theme and puzzles were thematic. One of the puzzles was very cool, but hard and frustrating. If the temperature wasn’t 90* in the room, we may have had an easier time of it. Would recommend to friends, but you’ve been warned of the heat.

Very well done and very accurate! Based on the actual tale of Morgan's raid in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

As with other games at this place, a portion of it broke but did not take away from the experience. Thematic puzzles which uphold the tone. One super confusing puzzle. This is one of the better rooms at Escape Room USA. Some unique features. Appreciated the cool temperature of the room.

Gameplay

A portion of this room broke. Very themed puzzles to match the room. Some unique aspects.

Historic room that looked historic.

The GM gave us unprompted hints while we were doing the thing she was hinting on.

There were things I definitely liked about this game. Novel theme, some cool puzzles. But there is too much focus on searching, and low light searching, and a gotcha waiting for you once you've completely tossed the room and gotten stuck; the logic violation on this thing set the tone that the rest of the game couldn't be trusted, which largely wasn't true. Although there was some disambiguation needed in at least one of the other games as well.
