Mark as done to rate

An exclusive Locktopia escape game, based on a true story…In 1914, the intrepid explorer Ernest Shackleton, and the brave crew of the Endurance, left England to attempt the first Trans-Antarctic Expedition.On route to Antarctica, the ship was caught in the icy waters of the Weddell Sea and sunk.After being stranded for more than 16 months, Shackleton and his crew’s return went unnoticed by a world at war. Their tales of heroic survival and strange findings were lost to time.In October 2002, Captain Henry Furler led an expedition for the National Explorer Association to find Endurance.In December 2002, Captain Furler sent a report announcing his crew had found the ship Endurance and begun to dig her out.Captain Furler was never heard from again.Satellite imagery has found what we believe to be the opening to Captain Furler’s icy tunnel.Your mission is to enter the ice shaft, find the lost ships, solve the mystery of what happened to the crew and escape!

Some fun effects and puzzles. Mostly linear gameplay. Pretty fun overall.

The entrance was pretty cool

Some parts were a little trickier than others, but some of that was due to some of the props not being in their original state at this point.

Ideal number of players

4 seemed like a good size. Could probably also work with 2 people. Nothing required more than 2 people to complete. Because of the linear nature of the puzzles, having more than 4 people would probably result in some people being bored or not having anything to do.

Scary

Not scary

Game theme is child friendly, but the overall game play and puzzles are probably not as interesting for children, minus some of the effects.

Was anything broken?

Yes

We had one mechanism not open properly after completely a puzzle at one point, which caused a bit of confusion as we looked around a while to figure out what was supposed to have happened. GM triggered it again after noticing it didn't open after maybe a minute.

I thought that the rooms were really cool and the GM was very nice and friendly. The puzzles were challenging but did not require any preparation reading or knowledge so that was very welcome as we only knew the basic information on the endurance and its crew

Olivia was an excellent game master. From the moment we walked in asking if we could make two game work at the end of the night. She offered to stay 20-30 minutes late to give us time to play back to back games. The endeavor: thematic and narrative through and through. Such a fun experience and totally recommend it to all escape room players. It should be considered for a golden lock award by Terpeca and Morty. Project Gateway: less in every way. Still fun. But lacking a lot of connective reasoning. Some puzzles were just illogical and didn’t fit any narrative sense. Sequencing DNA? The story is shut off the gateway. It felt like a nonsense time waster with no explanation as to why we’re doing that. All in all we had a great time and wish we had as fun a game master as Olivia any time we come back to Houston.

We LOVED this room. The immersion was top notch and the puzzles were very satisfying to solve. Lots of effects and surprises. The difficulty level is just right for experienced players. Can’t wait to come back for the rest of their rooms.

Staff were great. Room was linear. Felt like we were huddled around one puzzle at a time. Props and room had things falling apart.

Gameplay

Linear room Props are not in good condition.

This game was fun. Bring a jacket it’s cold in that room…spoiler maybe ?!?! The game is a great game just needs some love and a little touch up. One of the better games in Houston by all accounts.

It was our 10th room and it was the best! Awesome stuff and immersive set. Would definitely come back for other rooms.

Pros - Really cool thing happens as soon as you enter the room - Set is fitting Cons - Room def falls off after that first cool surprise - Set has a lot of wear and tear, lights that are broken, etc - Barely a story, so no personal investment - Clue pieces for last puzzle misleading 6/10 (it’s fine, not a room I’d recommend)
