Amnesia

I found this one severely too easy. We had solved the puzzles in our room before the tv finished the explanation. The beginning set up is novel and the story is a good one. Though this room was a lot of locks (not many higher tech puzzles). I only give it a thumbs down because practiced solvers may find this too easy as it was obvious which puzzles go to which locks. This is a good room if you want one you are guaranteed to complete.

Really enjoyed this room, it’s the second one we’ve done at Puzzle Effect and this one was fantastic (not that the other one wasn’t, just wasn’t as good as this one)! Our GM Kira was super nice and helpful. Hints were given at just the right time, and every puzzle was just tough enough to work out our brains and be so satisfying when we solved it. Really great room, can’t wait to do another one here!

Really cool room. Started separated and had to work together. Very interesting puzzles that were fun to work through. The game master sent clues to you automatically which was intrusive and not wanted.

Fun room with 6 people. Clues were a little too easy. We all left the place largely disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend this for experienced players.

If you've been to Puzzle Effect, you can sometimes peek into rooms while walking to your Escape Room. We saved Amnesia for our last Puzzle Effect room, and had peeked in numerous times, never really knowing the twist! Your group is broken into two rooms and you have to work your way back together. Genius!

Amnesia exceeded my expectations with its split-start concept and non-linear progression, it was quite a unique and engaging challenge. The well-designed puzzles allowed us to split up and solve tasks independently, with a few requiring teamwork through a unique communication barrier. This room was a standout to me. Definitely one of the best split-start rooms I have done. Highly recommended!

This one was pretty fun with the right group. You start off in two separate rooms and then join into one. It's a pretty tricky one and there's not much communication that can be done between the two rooms except a little window. I thought that this room was pretty easy, but some of my friends found it to be pretty hard. The storyline is okay, but at the end of the day, it was a good one. Would recommend.

Fun concept and some unique puzzles

Excellent room! Great flow. Dual rooms to start but doesn’t last too long. Good mix of puzzles for both groups and individuals so everyone can keep busy. Only disappointing thing is that the escape is a bit anticlimactic but everything else was perfect.
