Dr. Fratelli's Cabin

Had a great time escaping from the cabin of a psycho psychiatrist! Despite the cabin theme and crazy doctor, this room isn’t actually scary, which was a relief as we had just come out of the terrifying Starlight Motel. The psych related puzzles were especially great for us. Our team of 2 got out with lots of time to spare! There’s a nice personal touch with the good (actually bad) doctor. This cabin and its fun are a good cure for incurable and contagious sadness!

Pretty solid, more “classic” style escape room. It had good puzzles, flow, and fun interactions with the GM/actor. Definitely weaker than Starlight and Classified but still a fun game!

Dr Fratelli’s Cabin was a puzzle focused room that unfortunately didn’t have enough puzzles :(. Our group absolutely flew through, and made it out in under half an hour. Every puzzle we did was very solid and fun, but the difficulty level and amount were not high enough to keep us going. 1000% a room I would send any beginner to in order to see what a well made escape room is - but from an enthusiast perspective I don’t think this is one you need to travel for. (Side note, this room would be better as a solo/duo, or to try to do without speaking if you want a challenge!)

Fun simple room with classic puzzles, great for those new to escape rooms wanting to get a feel for how they work. This has more traditional locks and a simple theme compared to their other rooms

Escaping at just 24 minutes, I found this game too easy but maybe perfect for newbies. A nice mix of "find", dexterity and logic puzzles. My personal ranking of the 5 games at the downtown location as of August '25: 1. Classified: Operation Nine Lives (just too silly not to be my #1 here. No flaws, but it's too easy with 4, I think.) 2. Starlight Motel (excellent flow and plotting, tight with good acting moments, puzzles were just OK - a superior game to Classified, but silliness wins :) ) 3. Yuletide Magic (fun, surprisingly good puzzles and Christmasy vibes) 4. Dr. Fratelli's Cabin (Very (too) easy! A great puzzle toward the end. Good beginner game... or solo game. We finished in 24 mins as 4 people. Skippable if you're low on time) 5. Inventor's Enigma (A unique puzzle at the end, but moat puzzles were a bit simple. Relatively easy overall, might be a good beginner room. Skippable if you're low on time)

This is a really really good beginner room, and honestly it was a blast as enthusiasts as well. The puzzles required a lot of teamwork which I always appreciate. Connor is an amazing GM!

This was pretty good overall. A mix of lock and key puzzles and a few creative electronic ones. Fun hiding spots for items, fun puzzles. Nothing special, but very enjoyable!

This was a fine game, but it seems obvious that it came from an earlier era of escape room design. Puzzles were good and reasonable, set was effective. Nothing really stands out in my memory - it's fun, but also similar to good games anywhere. Do it to be a completionist or if you've got extra time. Oh, actually, I did remember two things: I did appreciate the personalization mid-to-late game, and wonder a little how they pulled it off, and the ending sequence was an unusual but effective effect.

Another cleverly executed room from Escape Artist! Atmosphere, puzzles, and story were all very clever! Highly recommended!

Escape artist is the best place to go. Not overly easy or hard so that you have a really good time!!!
