“We loved this room! It's a great room, and it's cool that they have a wheelchair lift for the stairs so they're accessible. Love the hidden parts of the room, and the puzzles. Everything in this room flowed well and made sense, making it an easier room and a good room for beginners. It's cool because the theming was very well done, so you really feel immersed in the room while you're in it.”

“Great room. The theming was done very well, an exciting take on the classic FBI/CIA themed rooms. Great use of technology and exciting puzzles. Would definitely recommend especially for those trying out escape rooms for the first time.”

“Another incredible game by TEG! This is a concept I’ve never experienced before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It took a minute for me to fully get what the objective was and how to accomplish it, but once I got the hang of it, the pressure was totally on. Sure, you’re pressured against the clock in a “normal” escape room. But this adds a whole ‘nother level when you are competing against your friends AND the clock! I felt pressured to rush and make quick decisions, which is exactly what I’m looking for as an adrenaline junkie!”

“This is such a fun, unique room! It felt like being back in space camp, and the puzzles were all super unique and fun. We really liked the overall vibes and all the puzzles, they flow well so you aren't left at any dead ends which is great. The story for this room really makes it though, it has a really fun one.”

“Really fun ( easy) game. Excellent set design which was very on theme. We are experienced and had fun. Could be for newcomer without a problem. Several unique elements. Nice mix of tech and mechanical. I think more than 4 would get crowded. Would definitely recommend to others.”

“In the old days, games were based on putting players in some miserable situation that they wished to get out of. This game instead takes you on a proper adventure, at the end of which you wish you could stay longer. We were the 2 randoms in a group of 6, so we had to step back and share the fun a little. Since it's linear, it is possible to keep track of every step that occurs without missing anything. Good music, and subtle lighting direction. Helpful subtitles on the video.”

“We loved this room! It's dark, but the flashlights from the jump help. The story is well designed, and it's a fun, easy one to breeze through. We didn't even realize we'd finished it at first because we breezed through so much because the story leads the way so well.”

“This room is unique in that you start split up, which adds an element of difficulty. If you're like us and have one team member who excels with word puzzles and one who excels with physical puzzles it might be a good idea to mention that so you don't end up in the cell that would better suit the other, but it's doable even if that does happen. We really liked how well things flowed together, and all of the puzzles made a ton of sense at the end which is the best kind of room. I appreciated the little nods built into the room, and we loved the mix of the puzzle styles, it played to both of our strengths really well.”

“This is such a cool room! It’s huge and there’s so much to do. I did play it once years ago, and didn’t get to do much because my group of 3 was paired with a group of 5, and the men from the group literally broke things, grabbed stuff out of our hands, and physically blocked us (there are a few narrow hallways and the stood in the entrance so only their group could get in). So when we played as just us 2 I had a little experience, but not much. It was awesome with just 2 of us, we were able to see and do everything and the narrow areas weren’t cramped or blocked, the first time I didn’t get to see any of the rooms after the first, so it was cool to see. The room is very immersive and there’s a ton to solve, with some really unique elements.”

“This is a dark room, but it's still really fun and there's a good story. We did get stumped a few times, but we also did it when we were exhausted already. That said, the room is great and there are a lot of great puzzles that flow together perfectly. The very end was broken, but the GM was there and paying attention so it didn't end up impacting us.”

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!
