Mark as done to rate
Permanently Closed - Bill Occam was dead. They said it was open-shut: Textbook suicide. While you didn’t agree, you just wanted to put this nasty chapter behind you. Just clean out his apartment and move on with your life. The hallway seemed never-ending. To most people, it was just another hallway leading to another rundown apartment. To you, well, you might as well be falling down the rabbit hole. You stand frozen outside of his door as a feeling of dread washes over you. “What is wrong with me? There is nothing to be afraid of,” you think. You steel yourself and open the door…

Occam's Apartment: Occam's death had been ruled a suicide, but we didn't believe it. We entered his apartment to discover the truth. Norcross Art Gallery: This art gallery housed a dark secret that our team had to discover. Pros: At present, Evil Genius has two rooms both connected by a common storyline. The mysterious death of Occam is a compelling narrative that kept us on our toes. We played both games back-to-back and the transition tied the games together adding to our experience at Evil Genius. The puzzles were sufficiently complex to keep us perplexed through most of the game, but were not impossible to solve. Norcross Gallery seemed more difficult than Occam's Apartment but with hints we were able to successfully make our escape. The set design was immersive and corresponded with the theme. Added audio elements in both games added a different element. The game master was enthusiastic and remained in character throughout. Excellent! We loved Evil Genius!

This was my first room and it made me fall in love with escape rooms! So immersive, and so sad this location is closed. You could do all 3 episodic rooms back to back. I love an unassuming room that starts out just looking like a normal living room and then the onion gets peeled.

Truly a loss to the escape room community. These rooms were fun, creative, a great challenge and the story was excellent. We did the leave this room and immediately go into Chapter 2. What an incredible transition. Wish I could do this room again.

RIP to one of the greatest games to ever be made. I remember leaving this game (chapter 1 & 2 back to back) and literally planning to open an escape room. I never did. But that’s not the point. This game was just so fun and immersive that it made me fall in love with escape rooms in a way i hadn’t before. It was my 55th room but it feels like it was just yesterday and not 2018.
