“Maybe I'm a sucker for a tropical/Mayan/Egypt theme but god I loved this room. It may seem simple but it has very intricate puzzles. I was surprised by a few elements which revealed themselves to us. Very cool room and again, theming was spectacular.”

“Truly a unique experience. My husband and I were hesitant because we had done other Time Machine rooms that we hadn’t enjoyed much before, but this became our favorite of the three rooms at this location. I was warned it may be difficult with two players but I didn’t find it to be overwhelming and we only needed a few hints (most on one puzzle in particular). Highly recommend if you’re in the area!”

“Many tasks, things to solve, allowing split up of party of 4 so everyone was always busy solving. Good quality room, sets were great. Enjoyable, unique aspect to entering/exiting. Multi-rooms. Techy vs physical puzzles.”

“Another great mansion/manor type decor + theme in the Denver area that I adore. Smaller room where we could've had 4 people instead of the larger group size we had. Only about 2-3 traditional locks/puzzles in the room. The puzzles and interactive moments are so magical and memorable. A great room for mid-level or veterans. Fantastic for folks who love being immersed into a room!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
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!
