“This was a fun room with challenging puzzles that were well integrated into the theme. We had to ask for a few hints and our GM, Xander, was super nice and helpful. A great variety of puzzles made it a fun room for our family with different age levels.”

“This room is a puzzle gauntlet! We played as a team of 2, and we BARELY made it. You are constantly asked to think, move, and make connections. This is the most realistic sub game I’ve played, and it offers a crazy event halfway through the game that makes for a very memorable moment. Your brain will be very tired at the end of this!”

“Possibly my favorite room ever. A perfect marriage of story and puzzles. A choice blend of old and new school design. A genuinely surprising/funny story. You really couldn’t ask for anything more. Just nails it in every regard”

“Great room, great theme! Lots of great technology involved though still a good number of combination locks and directional locks. 3-4 people is a good amount for this room. There were some fun surprises and interesting puzzle elements at play.”

“A sleek and well designed twist on the heist concept. Puzzles were varied, well clued and organized. Felt logical and orderly throughout. While possible to complete with two, a third or even fourth set of eyes would help tame this challenging room”

“Possibly the most well designed room we’ve ever encountered. Upon stepping into the cabin the game uses set, light and sound design to incredible effect. It’s the closest to playing in a Disney queue that you’ll get. Perfect use of a small space to deliver an enormous amount of ingenuity. Couldn’t recommend it more highly for anyone no matter their interest/comfort level with escape rooms”

“This has honestly become one of my favorite games. I know others may not agree, but the flow is beautiful, the puzzles are inventive and fun, and this game is HILARIOUS. It’s probably the funniest game I’ve played, and never really takes itself too seriously. The scenery is a bit bland, but that’s not the focus of the game. Your guide is funny and likeable, and there’s a lot of diversity in puzzle types. The soundtrack is perfect, too. And I’ve mentioned this, but this is definitely a comedy game. And it’s really, REALLY funny. I love this game.”

“I was worried about doing this room with my sister. This was for good reason. Don't do rooms with family members who are drunk/hungover. That being said, I really enjoyed the room and highly recommend it. The room starts with an actor in the room playing the barista. It was a fun touch and helped move us along. We definitely needed some help to get us started. Once we got started we were fine but I felt that the main starting puzzle was hard to just stumble across. I loved the incorporation of the naughty parts into the decor and puzzles. The finale/ending puzzle had a really fun effect. Very satisfying!”

“Be prepared to crawl! This was a lot of fun for all of us! We did this with a group of three and it was perfect. Two would have been quite the task and four would have been just right. The setting was a lot of fun with familiar sites from other rooms but that were used in unique ways. The puzzles were challenging and not impossible. Six thumbs up!”

“This room has some of the best elements of a fun, collaborative, exciting room great for a group that wants to be split up and put to the test. It has good ambience, some fantastic on-theme touches, and plenty of puzzles to keep you going for a full hour (and probably then some!) One of the best rooms I've done.”

“Surprisingly good game. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. Puzzles were high tech, but flowed well and made sense. The submarine set was unusual, but worked, as did the rest of the set. Really good aha moments in this one, and everyone gets to be a part of the experience. Probably one of my favorites at The Escape Game. Room gets really hot though (lack of AC, I think), so be warned.”

“Wonderful room! Fun and unique theme, wide variety of puzzles, tech that worked really well, and a GM (Emily) who was very respectful of our request surrounding hints. We played as a team of two, and I would say that's the ideal number of players for this room. Another great experience at The Escape Game!”

Boston is a city as rich in its history as it is in its modern entertainment attractions. Every year, millions of people descend on the city, eager to experience its historical landmarks, vibrant culture and arts scene, excellent sports teams, and its many restaurants and bars. In addition, the city is home to a number of popular tourist attractions, including the Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, and the New England Aquarium. Overall, Boston is a lively and exciting city that offers a wide range of things to see and do, making it a great place to visit for people of all ages.
In recent years, Boston has come alive as a true escape room destination. In fact, Boston is home to nearly 50 different escape room venues and Boston offers a particularly exciting array of escape room experiences that are suitable for all tastes. Storyteller's Secret at Boxaroo is an award winning room that is sure to delight. Red Fox Escape's The Body Shop is another hit that is known for its beautiful set and immersive story. With over 100 escape games in the entire area, the possibilities are nearly endless — you’ll find games with themes of horror, adventure, crime, espionage, and plenty you may not expect.
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
