You and your friends decide to visit the cabin of Emily Carter, a young writer whose bestseller adventure novels are known all around the world..

This is fairly linear in a way that two people can solve it without feeling frustration that one of you isn't a good fit for certain puzzles, but nonlinear in the sense that you can split up and look for different clues or complete solves independently as well. All puzzles are simple enough that a wide range of demographics will feel comfortable; nothing requires advanced knowledge or skill. It's still challenging enough for more advanced groups to have a good time because the environment is so engaging and fun. Those really keen on the stories behind the solves will probably find this a great room because it's truly a story itself. I'm almost never interested in the story and find them to be irrelevant, but not this time. 10/10 don't miss it. As a couple we would recommend for groups of 2-3.

For years there have been rumors of a shadow girl scout troop operating in the Boston and Cambridge area. Over the last week, you’ve been earning your Automotive Engineering badges in the local auto body shop. Little did you know that the auto garage is owned by the high council of this shadow troop, and they have been covertly watching you. They have hand-picked you and your team to have the chance to join their secret society, and last night, each of you received a rare invitation to meet there today.

You will have one hour to prove to them you have what it takes to earn the ultimate girl scout badge, and a coveted place in their troop.

I’m so glad we decided to book this room. This turned out to be the highlight of our day in Boston and I wish we had done all of the rooms at this location. It’s very clear a lot of thought, care, and craftsmanship went into this room.

What exactly is a Quest?
Probably the most exhilarating experience you’re going to have outside of your home with a group of people! OK, we know that didn’t answer your question exactly, but still it’s true. Complicated to explain; you need to just experience it!

Go to the “What is Questing” section of this site for more info. It’s like nothing you’ve ever done in your entire life, and there’s literally nothing to compare it to, so it’s hard to explain. It’s somewhat like you, along with a small team, trying to do the types of things Indiana Jones or Laura Croft might do in a movie…except it’s real.

The best way, by far, is to go do it. After that, we’ll let you try and explain it.

Here’s what Questing is not: it’s not an Escape Room of any type, it’s not virtual reality or augmented reality, or anything that gives digital environments, it’s not anything to do with using a computer to play games, it’s not obstacle course racing, it’s not anything athletic or competitive, and it’s not anything that requires a certain level of education.

Fun and engaging bite sized “escape” rooms! Enjoyed much better than the likes of Level 99, less crowds and plenty of time to redo rooms after failure. A plethora of experiences with very doable physical challenges (from the rooms I visited). Heavily recommend: The Farm, Area 51, Lava, Alcatraz.

Being framed for things going wrong in a museum isnt in your plans for a day out. Use your wits to solve the mystery and clear your name!

One of the best museum gallery rooms I’ve ever done! The puzzles are stellar, and hit that on so sweet perfect spot melding logic, wordplay, and pictures. The puzzles towards the end absolutely surprised and delighted us! We experienced something using unlikely props that we had never seen any other room brave enough to accomplish. But this museum delivers it artfully. I would even go to say that the puzzles… ARE ART!

You wake up and find yourself in a bit of a predicament. With no prior skills whatsoever, you have the opportunity of a lifetime to pull off the most perfect heist the town of Merrimack has ever seen. You must assemble a team with marauding moxie and plan out every aspect of the heist, down to the very last detail. But time waits for no thief- you have only 75 minutes to impress the Boss with your caper capabilities before he cuts you out of the deal, ostensibly ending your burgeoning burglary business.

Boxaroo's IRL escape rooms are all brilliant, yet they're even more fully able to show off their epic puzzle design (and fabrication!) chops in their tabletop/ballroom games. The Perfect Heist was so exquisitely designed, satisfyingly tactile, and full of quirky humor. Very highly recommend!

In the shadowed corners of Abington, whispers of “The Game Master” chill the air. This notorious kidnapper turns his victims’ lives into a twisted game of survival, where every challenge they face could be their last. With a sadistic flair, he forces them into increasingly dangerous and cruel games, each designed to test their wits, endurance, and will to live.

The Game Master’s hideouts are rumored to be elaborate mazes of psychological and physical trials, where escape is only possible if they can outwit their captor and survive his nightmarish trials. His reign of terror continues to haunt the streets, leaving a trail of fear and desperation in his wake. Will you make it out? It’s not a game.

In October 1998, a NOx leak was detected from the facility alarms. In an attempt to stop the leak, the staff suffered severe chemical burns. The unsuccessful attempt left the community severely exposed to the gases. Production continued despite the leak.

The entire community was locked down on Friday, September 13, 2013, leaving those within to fend for themselves. Studies indicate that the level of NOx exposure has left the survivors’ skin discolored and scarred, and it may have possibly affected their mental state. Due to their altered appearance and forced adaptation to the environment, they are now referred to as Coulro-Sapiens.

HYSTERIA at Connors Farm is Massachusetts’ premiere haunted farm walking trail and was rated one of the top haunted attractions in America by HauntWorld Magazine in 2014 and 2015. Modern Farmer Magazine ranked the farm #1 on it’s list of Top 13 Haunted Corn Mazes. HYSTERIA at Connors Farm is a terrifying, bone-chilling, CAN’T MISS October destination!

The “Haunted Fields” is HYSTERIA’s feature attraction. This 45 minute walking trail takes you on a trek through creepy farm corn fields, dark orchards, a horror filled forest, along the banks of a murky swamp, and around a REAL (historic to the farm) 17th Century Burial Ground. The sights, sounds, and smells you will experience at HYSTERIA’s Haunted Farm are unlike ANYTHING you have encountered at traditional indoor haunted houses. THIS is what REAL nightmares are made of.

Due to overwhelming popularity and its close proximity to Salem, MA, America’s Halloween capital, expect long lines the closer we get to Halloween. Visit early in the season or Friday nights for the shortest wait, and as always, you can upgrade to VIP and gain access to the Speedline. This will cut your wait dramatically which leaves you more time to enjoy bonfires, music, and food.

The 7-Acre, World Famous Corn Maze is a NON HAUNTED, family friendly attraction, and is safe for ALL AGES. The maze received international attention when a family “got lost” and called 911 to find their way out. Cling to your flashlight or use the moon as your guide. Although the maze is not staffed with actors, that won’t settle your nerves. The rustling of the corn in the wind and shadows on the path will convince you that you are not alone.

Flashlight Maze

Don't believe the rumors... This simple cottage isn't home to bubbling cauldrons, mischievous goblins, and tools of the spectral arts... is it? Will you defy the witch or join her coven? Book today and make your choice.

We did it with two people, it was doable if experienced! Our game master was amazing! you could also request for it to not to be too spooky which was great! But overall the room was not scary or spooky even for a scardy cat like me! This is one of our favorite escape rooms ever!

Nothing strange or mysterious could happen in this drab corporate grayscape. No ancient power, no portal to another realm, and certainly no fantastical creatures of any kind…right? Book your internship today and redefine ordinary.

This office is anything but boring! In fact, I actually wanted to be here longer. It’s hard to really explain without saying much, but this is definitely a creative room that has a big sense of humor. There are a few tasks here, and everyone gets to have a role, assuming of course that there are 4 people. There were only 2 of us, and we got to have 2 internship roles each. Try it out, and I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised. This office is worth having a case for the Mondays for!

The Boring Office

As a special ops agent, covert investigations across the globe are nothing out of the ordinary. But your routine search of a spice market leads to an unexpected discovery…Now you’re left to combat an international crisis that threatens the state of the world as we know it. You’ll need to harness all your tactical skills and training if you’re ever going to put a stop to this global catastrophe. Through all the twists and turns you have to ask yourself…how deep does the conspiracy go?

Very fun room. Great decorations and a great evolving (though somewhat predictable) storyline. The special effects were cool. We enjoyed the diversity of puzzle types, and only wasted a ton of time going down a wrong path once. Was highly doable with just two people.
