Tesla’s Secret

The game play got a liiiittle clunky in the middle, but overall a really creative experience!

Tesla was such a fun escape experience. We had a large group of 8, which may have been too many (or maybe that's a personal preference?). Only two from this group had done escape rooms before so it was fun helping new people try it out! Our GM was great about giving helpful hints to nudge us in the right direction without outright giving us answers. The puzzles in this game were a little tricky at times, but that's to be expected as it was listed as their hardest room at this location. We managed to escape with less than a minute to spare! Also, this room was so well decorated. The theming was top-notch, and there was one point where most of the group wanted to stop and take pictures inside because of how cool everything looked! (permission given beforehand by the GM to keep phones and take photos) We will definitely be going back to Architect to try out more rooms!

Yes! One of our early experiences and we loved it! It's a good finale room to the architect rooms!

Tesla’s Secret is certainly my favorite game at Architect so far because there was so much room to work with. The puzzles were entertaining throughout and the style in which they were delivered were different compared to other Tesla-related rooms I’ve done. Though it was their hardest room, my buddy and I made easy work of it but had a great time.

Tesla’s Secret is a mad scientist themed room, and bears only a passing relation to Nikola Tesla, it’s mostly science in general. Some clever puzzles here. GM was helpful when needed. A nitpick… we were given the usual “no need to use more than two fingers to move an item” but in reality a large prop had to be overturned to find a clue. We spent far too long NOT moving it because of the instructions. Also, not a huge fan of rooms in which players are separated with no way to get back together without solving a puzzle. I’m disabled and sometimes I need help with puzzles… if my partner is locked away, we could end up stuck.

Had some highlights but nothing stood out beside one room. Gm here was very nice. Nothing was really relatable to Tesla here

Meh

The mirror room was my favorite and the game master made me feel real smart. Some of the room feels worn and not updated, and it hinders the game since we know what items have been worn enough to warrant them being part of puzzles.

Overall, there are some good puzzles…but the overall theme wasn’t there. Lots of science, but not necessarily with Tesla. I think a story change would help this game.
