Moriarty's Manor

We played this game over a year ago now and it’s still the best escape rooms we’ve ever done. The puzzles were tough but SO creative. I thoroughly enjoyed how immersive it was & loved the sensory experience. I felt like I’d jumped into one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s tales. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you’ll especially love every detail, but you’ll still enjoy it even if you’re not familiar with the detective. We were 4 adults and we escaped with like 7 seconds left. We still talk about it!

Moriarty’s Manor had a very cool theme and overall vibes were top notch. The puzzles were a bit tricky but very interactive and fun! A group of 4 of us barely escaped with the skin of our teeth - just 6 seconds left! You will definitely enjoy this one.

This room was good, the theming was strong and the quality of the high-tech puzzles was high. While most of the puzzles were pretty fun and none were particularly frustrating, none of them were very revolutionary to me, and some of the puzzles were not super well tied into the story. Some of the clues pointing to the puzzles were quite weak, so it was difficult at times to figure out what to do next, but our game master did a great job nudging us along. We did this room with two people, and while it was challenging, there wasn't so much to do that it was unmanageable. Most of the difficulty we found was in figuring out what to do with the puzzles. At times, this establishment does feel like it's taking itself a little too seriously; there are rules about not taking photos or videos, they take photos on their iPad in a specific location to send you instead of using your phone. In my opinion there wasn't much to warrant this level of secrecy; none of the puzzles were exceptionally novel, nor do I think incidental spoilers would really impact the experience of the room too much. Overall, I liked this room but it wasn't one of my favorites ever. You can feel the passion of the designers and the quality is high, and the atmosphere is pretty good.

Our team had such a great time playing Moriarty's Manor! Our Game Master Isabella was amazing - super kind, welcoming, informative, and helpful! The game was dynamic, interesting, and had great game flow - puzzles were intuitive but still challenging in a fun and exciting way, including some unique puzzles I've never seen anywhere else. I think this room can be great for people at any and all levels, so don’t be afraid to ask for hints if you’re on the less experienced side, because there’s a lot of fun in store!

This escape room is extremely strict with time, it seems you need to arrive 15min early relative to game time for instructions/safety video. Arrived at 5:05 for a 5PM time slot, but by the time the briefings were finished - it was 5:15 with 45min of game time left. Wasted another few minutes performing an “immersive” entrance act that adds no value or continuity with the game. At the end of the game, was asked if we had any questions - but could not answer how to do certain puzzles or even if there was another room left (which was an obvious “no” but I asked anyways to see what she could answer. Overall a different experience than what I am used to in the Bay Area or LA.

This room was so much fun! There were only 2 of us, so it was a bit challenging. We used a few more hints than we would’ve liked, but still escaped. Charlie was an awesome game master!

Great for an intermediate group of 5! Many unique puzzles. Thanks to Isabella for cautioning us against using a hint as we had enough time to complete the room, really great judgment!

We attempted this with 2 people and it was definitely not enough people. The room was a good difficulty but definitely more people would be helpful to complete it. Very strict on time. We got there right at our appointment time and they deducted the safety briefing time from our game time. Staff was super nice though. Glad we went and the room was amazing.

Huge thanks to Isabella for some well-timed hints to help us to the finish line! A super fun game but the better parts are all later and on in the experience, and we got stuck early on on some less fun puzzles. The end was worth it though! Very elaborate multiroom set up.

Had a group of 3. This was a great room. The puzzles had just the right amount of difficulty to be challenging but not too hard. Our gm Joyce was really nice!
