“This ended up being our favorite room at this location. We really enjoyed this one from start to finish. The The theme pulled us in right away and the atmosphere did a great job making the world feel immersive. The puzzles were a huge highlight. We had several moments where we ran into things we genuinely hadn’t experienced before, which is always exciting after doing a lot of escape rooms. The tech was really well integrated too and I loved that there were no traditional keys or locks. Everything felt modern, intentional, and fit naturally into the experience. We stayed in a great rhythm through most of the room and always felt like we were uncovering something new. This was one of those rooms where the theme, puzzles, and tech all clicked together really well. Only bummer was after such an awesome experience, we never got a team photo sent over for our memories. Small thing, but after a room this good we definitely would’ve loved having that keepsake.”

“An excellent escape room that requires cooperation and clear communication between players. Starts small and unfolds into a massive game full of charm. The Game Master was fantastic, too. Very charming and funny, he ran the game in character and really added to the atmosphere”

“I preferred this game over Amulet of Time - I thought the set was more immersive and interactions were more interesting. I would have ideally liked more puzzles and additional spaces, but I imagine it would have been tough given the building setup.”

- Escape room

“First of all I love a brightly lit room. It seems as though the last 10 Escape rooms that we have been to have been very dimly lit which creates a great ambience but it was a nice surprise to have a bright room with a happy vibe. The room was very well put together with a great theme. Lots of fun puzzles. We had a team of three which felt like a good size. Although we have done a ton of escape rooms we did need some hints to get through. Our game host was perfect with giving hints and various student recognizing when it was time to push a hint in (But always asked us first if we wanted one) and then gave the perfect amount of hint that didn't give it away but allowed us to continue challenging ourselves to solve it. We did not finish but because nobody was booked behind us I really appreciate the game host allowed us to continue puzzling it out until we finished. Great room!!”

“Not an escape room but definitely an escape from reality. Love the Meow Wolf locations and this didn’t disappoint. Lots of unique and crazy places to explore and learn the lore deep within this place. Family had a blast and easily breezed by almost 3 hours in here. My son even found a few secrets that were fun to discover. Put this on the list when in Denver!”

“It was a really fun and challenging room with a great invention/technical theme throughout. There was always something for our family of four to work on, and we stayed in a good rhythm most of the game. We did need a couple small nudges at one point, but the puzzles were clever, satisfying, and very well designed overall. Big shoutout to the game master too. Super personable, encouraging, and great to talk with after the game. Definitely looking forward to trying their other room.”

“We played with just two people and it was definitely challenging but so much fun. The theme is solid on this room and the puzzles are great. Conundrum is great because they don’t limit clues and will give you helpful nudges when they see you are stuck. Their game masters are amazing. We played all the games at both locations and absolutely would recommend them to anyone!”

“One of our two favorite rooms here. Really cool and immersive design. Clear and logical story which all puzzles fit nicely. Variety of puzzles and a few were quite unique. We found this to be an easier room, but that didn’t change how much we enjoyed it.”

“One thing Mystic’s Littleton location does very well is utilize limited space effectively. Both games I’ve played here so far have made the most of a fairly small area while still feeling like I’m progressing and not just staying in one place. This one was a pretty solid bread-and-butter escape room. It’s not that flashy but it’s really good. Puzzles are fun and just challenging enough.”

“Indiana Jones vibes done well. This room has a cinematic flair that really puts it over the top for me. The audio was standout as better than any escape room I have done on memory. The puzzles are really well integrated within the story and our GM’s passion sealed the deal on this being an awesome experience. Definitely don’t do this room if you’re afraid of the dark. 👀👀”

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!
