Great theming and puzzles. Enjoyable play. Welcoming to all people. Accessible. Not a chain - all done by a local family. Super easy access off the light rail. Can’t wait for their next room! Ideal for about 4 people

Everyone in town knows about the old mansion on the hill, and the reclusive Mr. Rose who lives there. They say he’s mourning his beautiful wife, Abigail. There’s even meant to be a treasure, one he claims can only be found by someone who loves Abigail as much as he does. That same Abigail haunts your dreams and begs for your help. Now, at last you have a chance to find out why. Mr. Rose has left his house for the first time in years. You have one hour to contact Abigail’s spirit and find her treasure. But what is the treasure? And why doesn’t anyone in town remember Abigail?

This was a solid first room from a new company in Seattle (which is always refreshing!). The creators clearly are narrative focused and that comes through in the on-boarding, intro, and in game narrative developments. The puzzles themselves were deeply varied, but the gameplay experience was generally standard. Looking forward to their next game.
Gameplay
That gameplay centered around navigating the puzzles in the space to complete a couple objective layers. The flow was a little stunted by the amount of access to puzzles at the start and how they are built into/around the room. It made it difficult to stay in the narrative because some of the developments through the puzzles felt more random if you didnt work on the puzzle yourself. There was, however, excellent pay off in a late game puzzle that incorporated many previous elements. There is also a very fun piece of tech that guides through the story/game which was exciting and interesting.
Atmosphere
It was standard, clearly built with love. Some props were less helpful than others and required some tedium or precision. One puzzle had very small parts, not all of which were present and while the conclusion is satisfying that particular puzzle could likely use some iterating for longevity.
Customer service
EXCELLENT. The host was the highlight of the game. She, as the creator, was clearly passionate, intentional, and invested. It is always a delight to interact with folks like that. Her intro to the room was well done, well performed, and had us invested easrly.

No stairs or small spaces, the room is generally accessible. One puzzle would be prohibitive for color-blind folks but is a small part.

This was a fun room for a group of 4. We’re all pretty experienced players and found the puzzles well themed and novel with some neat mechanics we hadn’t seen before. The theming was strong and we appreciated the integrated narrative story. For a group of 4, there was plenty to do. There were a couple linear puzzle strings going on so no one felt like they were without a puzzle at any point. Can’t wait to see their second room!

Our group of 4 experienced players really enjoyed this room. Love that the room was non-linear and the diversity of puzzles and mechanisms kept us on our toes in the best way! Sean gave us a nudge when we essentially solved the puzzle, but had to tweak a little. Looking to trying our hand when the next room comes online.

Really great single room. Game play flowed extremely well. Some really cool puzzles in here. My boyfriend and I finished with 5 minutes left using about 4 hits the whole time. Highly recommend. We will be back to play their new game coming out.

Easily the most narrative-heavy room I’ve encountered so far (in a good way)! Fascinating first room from Choice Escapes with some unconventional puzzles and challenging puzzle logic that will push small groups of experienced players and punish players that rely on normal escape room tropes. Did this with 2 players and came down to the wire (I suspect the GM gave us a bit of extra grace by a few seconds) and definitely think this would have played more comfortably with a 4-6 group.
Gameplay
The flow was ambiguous at parts but each puzzle was substantial enough to be fun once you made the required leap
Atmosphere
Good atmosphere, novel place to do a build out in (Choice Escapes nailed it, made this in a pre-divided office space)
Customer service
GM was super accommodating of us showing up early! Friendly, helpful, solid hints. I’m glad we visited

We ended up checking out the new Choice Escapes room last minute on our trip to Seattle. The room is reminiscent of a gen 1 escape room, with a few very cool high-tech mechanics seen in newer rooms that we did not expect from the outset. The work and effort they put into creating the room is very apparent, and a lot of the ingredients for an excellent room are there (lighting changes, puzzle build, custom build mechanics, puzzle ideas). The level of build quality is not consistent throughout the game, making, the game flow a bit choppy, and a challenge especially given its non-linear design. However, we could see this room being nice for a large group to divide and conquer. We thought it was a great first room, and with some finessing, more good things to come given some interesting puzzles that are custom built. It is very nice to see there are new escape room businesses opening in Seattle.

Unique, carefully-crafted room. You can tell this is a labor of love. Good flow, no bottlenecking. Most importantly: fun! Highly recommended.
