Overall, this is a good escape room but not a great escape room. Some of the puzzles I felt did not fit the theme well. With a lot of multi-room experiences you can expect to spend somewhat the same amount of time in each room, but this is not true for this escape room. Also, I am not sure of this, but there were puzzles we did not do. Not sure if there are puzzles left out if you have a specific amount of people or what, but that left me confused. It’s a good room, but wouldn’t be my first recommendation.

This one was pretty interesting! I liked the concept well enough and the game play was enough that we had a pretty decent sized group and none of us were left standing around with something to do, but I also don’t think there were so many items that a smaller group wouldn’t be able to complete.

Beautiful escape rooms are my favorite kind of escape rooms, and this was one of the most aesthetically attractive games I’ve played. It was an elegant game built into an elegant space, filled with elegant puzzles. We drove out to Michigan for Erebus and this would be just as worthy a reason to visit Michigan.
Gameplay
It wasn’t very challenging, but everything was incredibly fun to engage with.
Atmosphere
Beautiful woodwork and elegant atmosphere.
Customer service
Gamemaster was very kind.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Adaptive difficulty plus a unique setting and some of the finest implementations of common puzzle types I’ve seen.
Story
It doesn’t stand out among magical escape rooms, but it has a satisfying arc
Difficulty
Medium
We had some difficulty getting started in the first room but most puzzles are fairly easy (but still interesting).

Very few locks and adaptive difficulty.

3 - 5 people would be good (more for inexperienced players.

A little adventurous, but nothing super intense.

While the set design is incredible, our group didn’t find the puzzles to be challenging. The game difficulty is dynamic, so the game master can change the level of difficulty as you play. Our game master told us after the game that they gave us all the puzzles they had because our team was solving the game so quickly - but extra puzzles just made the game repetitive. We didn’t really enjoy it.

Rating: 3.5/5 Pros: Great looking set and good theming Nice tech integration Fun progression through the different areas Friendly game master Cons: The room is very puzzle heavy and a lot of them didn't really click for me. If you love puzzles then you'll probably like the room more than I did, I value great story/immersion over complicated puzzles.

This escape room was beautifully done. I loved moving from one room into the next and being amazed at how well thought out each puzzle and design was. This is a top 3 for me. Worth the trip if you aren’t from this area! It was also great for a bigger group. I think we had 8 people and it didn’t feel crowded at all.

One of my all time favorite rooms. Game masters can adjust room difficulty to player level. What an achievement. Great ambience and effects!
