The Mystery At The Majestic Theatre

With two people they allowed five extra minutes which was needed! 45 minutes causes you to move very quickly. Overall good game, not too difficult, not to simple.

This room had potential but as soon as we came to the FIRST exhaustingly long puzzle (a logic problem that didn’t fit the theme and took us almost 15 min to solve) we knew there was no way we’d succeed in this 45 min room. I’m really opposed to rooms that are under the standard 1-hr minimum but then on top of that, give you time-sucking puzzles that feel like a chore to solve. This is definitely an hour room with only a 45 min timer. It’s setting paying customers up for disappointment. We paid over $110 for this experience and we left feeling frustrated and ripped off. We haven’t played hundreds of escape rooms like others we know, but we’ve played over 30 (escaped all but 3) and only a very few of those were 45 min escape rooms. Please change this scammy business model.

Room was very fun and logical, escaped with 2 ppl and with ~5min left. I would recommend players to not be deterred by the reviews! This game has a good amount of puzzles but most are linear and not complicated. In my opinion this room is actually better with less people, as most puzzle would not require more than 1 person to solve (and might even get messy if multiple people are trying to solve at the same time). There was one puzzle that actually requires a good 5-10min but in our opinion it’s unnecessarily long. It’s the same logic solving multiple times… and quickly becomes a drag. Also in this puzzle one of the symbols doesn’t even match exactly! This creates a lot of confusion when we were solving, we gave the feedback to the game master but it sounds like they knew the issue but just doesn’t bother to fix it. Was a bit disappointed. However, despite some issues, overall this is a great game that is perfect for <4 people. Story line was also creative, and some puzzle was pretty novel.

Did this room with friends, was really fun and the atmosphere was so cool. There were so many different puzzles I’ve never seen before that weren’t just lock and key! I recommend this place to everyone!

Because you can do multiple puzzles at once, it’s good for larger groups. We had 4 very experienced puzzlers, and it wasn’t very hard for us at all. All of the clues are pretty straightforward, but some of them are time wasters. I did feel the GM rushed us a bit because the previous team ran late and the next group was waiting outside, even though we finished well within the allotted 45 minutes. I would do a different room at this location. You don’t have to pay for parking underneath the mall for the first two hours of parking there, which is nice.

It was too hard for our kids ages 12, 9, and 7. Story was cute but our family failed miserably. Also, located in a kind of creepy location with many homeless people high on drugs outside yelling nonsense and kicking the dirt when we were waiting for our Uber.

Fun room with a good number of parallel puzzles (necessary for the 7 of us) and an fun set.

Lots of good puzzles, parallelization for larger teams, and a well-designed room with much more creativity in solutions and not so much hide and seek for items.

A fun room with an interesting story. There are SO MANY puzzles I’d recommend doing it with three people minimum to ensure you’re out in time.

This being a 45 minute room made us feel really rushed to the point where we were overlooking a lot when trying to solve some of the puzzles. There's really no reason this shouldn't be a 60 minute room. We were on the last part when we ran out of time, but they gave us 5 more minutes so we could finish. Overall, the room was still fun, despite the short time given. The puzzles can be tough if you don't have a keen eye (it doesn't help if you feel rushed). One other thing to note is that the place is inside a mall and is not in the best area of the city, so make sure you go with at least a few others.
