Cabin Murder

4th visit to Just Escape Room and Cabin Murder was another fun experience. CM is their newest room and it had a good amount of tech. Multiple rooms to explore and several fun moments throughout, including getting to bake, becoming a human circuit, and knocking. The flow in this room took a bit to connect with, but we had a really fun time as there were some cool reveals. The GM (Reese) gave us a few well-timed nudges when we spun our wheels, and she was great to talk with. Sounds like Just Escape has started to think about their next room already, when they decide to retire The Attic, so I look forward to coming back when their next new game is ready. All of their rooms are solid so check them out.

Big fan of what this company and its owner are doing with escape rooms! Great set and fun puzzles. There are a few puzzles that we wouldn’t have gotten without a nudge, but the owner is very open to feedback, especially as this was a brand new room when we played. Bonus for playing it early is that we made the leaderboard with many minutes to spare! Don’t worry if you get scared easily. Despite a name that includes the words cabin and murder, this room isn’t spooky at all. Unless one of your teammates gets cabin fever!

(Played during beta testing) Fun from start to finish. My group and I did not want this game to end, as we were having so much fun solving this cabin’s thematic, varied, and satisfying puzzles. I would recommend a small group (2-4) for maximum enjoyment. Strengths- +This room, just like the other game I have played at Just Escape Room (Floor 66) had some genuinely good humor for my taste. + Every puzzle felt fair and well-thought out. +Just Escape Room made a beautiful and cozy set. +There was never any confusion on which code went with which lock. +This game’s flow just felt right. + One puzzle was so thematic and cool (so memorable). Areas to improve/personal preferences- -This game felt a little short, but it was still long enough to feel satisfying. -The background info for the story felt too complicated and had no bearing on the game at all (this was a puzzle-focused game). -The ending could be stronger as it felt like it needed a stronger puzzle or bigger moment (some pizzazz)
