Speakeasy Nouveau

Fun theme with some mechanics which added to the fun factor. We had 5 very analytical people in our group so it was rather easy. I’d say 5 is the upper limit otherwise it would be too crowded. Was told that room would be linear but it does open up at the end. Last puzzle was a bit subjective and pin pointing the answer was faulty so we were clued into the precise answer. This happened during Family Cabin as well so their puzzles could use some adjusting.

I love escape rooms that have physical locks (not electronic puzzles), and this one’s cool atmosphere worked really well to create a fun room with a brisk pace. I usually don’t like “speakeasy” escapes (played out) but this one had a fun theme (get your baseball back :)) that kept it light and not the traditional “mob” vibe.

Cute game - very lock heavy. Logical flow. Had fun :)

We enjoyed this room! This was my 27th game (22w - 5L) which I played with 3 other adults with varying statistics. The GM was very friendly and offered a few hints (plus allowed us to complete the room even though we were 2 minutes past the deadline - thank you!!). I liked that the room was mostly non-linear, so that we could all attempt a task. There were lots of physical locks which I also enjoy. The decorations were authentic and well maintained. I'd recommend this room for all ages and abilities.

Kind of a typical escape room — (in a good way!). Lots and lots of locks. Basic structure - one puzzle leads to a combination. A few different puzzles that were fun and a bit different. Nothing blew us away, but still a good challenge. We played with 7, all varied experiences. May be best with 3-4.

I enjoyed that the different spaces were themed individually so you weren’t in the speakeasy the entire time. The set was just okay, nothing spectacular, but then again, I’ve yet to see a bar themed room that wowed me. I really liked several of the puzzles and liked how they were multi-layered. The staff at Quicksand was really great and we had our Megan as our GM for 3 of the 4 rooms that we played. She has a great personality and was a lot of fun.

This is such a delightful game. The theme is fun, the puzzles are intuitive, but there are still a few moments where you feel stumped before you break through. It’s a very simple game with low tech - but if you’re ok with that the game promises a good time!

i like the speakeasy concept, the puzzles were on theme, but nothing entirely groundbreaking. nice set design but not very high budget. i forget what the story was

I love speakeasies and escape rooms so I was excited for this combo. (Sadly no drinks involved.) The puzzles reflect the theme so well. Very straightforward linear puzzles executed well.

SpeakEasy was so fun and physically involved in a good way. Sarah did an excellent job keeping us on track. Thank you so much.
