Tesla’s Secret

We did this room so long ago I had forgotten to review it right away but from what I do recall it was alright. There isn’t multiple rooms I believe you start in a hallway and then there’s one room you enter that you’re in for majority of the game and then you enter a box like structure in the room that’s basically the size of a closet and it leads to a final mirror room. And the puzzles weren’t necessarily enjoyable we used a lot of hints. We left feeling meh. Still a thumbs up because it’s not bad it just isn’t a stand out room for us.

I loved this room. It’s a first gen style room, but everything worked really well. Everything made sense- if something didn’t make sense, you didn’t have everything you needed to solve it.

It’s cute and fun and pretty worn down but good puzzles and it’ll scratch the itch!!

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
