Good flow, multi room, challenging puzzles

Decode has great rooms! You can tell they take pride in creative stories, good puzzles, and a captivating atmosphere! Alex has always been our GM and they are great! So positive and fun and welcoming! Can’t wait to do the few we have left!

Well designed room, a decent amount of tech (everything worked), and a beautiful set design!

Magnificent experience with a theme that is synergistic with its other games in both design and setting. Loved the transitions and ending. Puzzles were great mix of logic and math and stuff I have never seen before. The whole thing felt so magical like I was in a world of scholarly discovery!

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.

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.
