“I rate this room a 5/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). Set and theme - easy 2 points! This room was eye candy for any escape room aficionado! Great use of space, you'll be going up, down, all around! Lots to see and lots of hidden clues. Great tech throughout the room and in the puzzles, which get another 2 points. The puzzles were awesome! Quite a few novel ones I hadn't seen before. I loved the hint system. It was always there for you and updated in a timely manner so you knew the GM was following where you were at all times. The 'timer' in the room was pretty cool as well - very immersive! I would give my enjoyment another 2 points (my scale only goes to 5 so this room definitely went above and beyond!). The GM said this room has only a 10% escape rate so quite the challenge. We had 4 in our group and escaped with 5 minutes to go. We definitely had to all be working at different puzzles simultaneously in order to finish which can be a negative since not everyone gets to experience solving each puzzle. In addition, there's a lot of papers with hints in this room. I'm not that thrilled when I see a bunch of papers and if you find one that helps the other part of your team but you don't know that since you're working on your own stuff, it gets confusing! So, good communication with each other on what you find would be helpful in this room. Also, I would definitely recommend using the hint system early on so you can experience the whole room. It's 💯% worth it!”

“Very well done but complicated room. Definitely needs the 3 person minimum. And they're not kidding about the room getting loud. If you're noise sensitive, take them up on their offer to turn the volume down.”

“What a charming room! They made great use of the space with lots of tactile and logical puzzles that appealed to all ages. We found ourselves smiling a lot, and we all had favorite puzzles. Our GM was very welcoming and set us up for a great experience. I also enjoyed the way elements were placed in such a way that you could tell what items were “in play” and which were purely decorative. I wish there were more rooms like this! Fun for families, challenging but not intimidating, well lit and playful—we’re so glad we got a chance to play this room!”

“This is a great room. The set is so well done and incorporates lighting and audio aspects. I really enjoyed the puzzles and felt that they were unique and clever. There are four puzzle tracts. We played with four people and split up into two groups, each tackling two of the tracts. That means that we can play it again down the road and have each team tackle the tracts that they have not seen yet. 😬😬 It is definitely on the tougher side, but we gut through with no hints and we’re happy with ourselves for figuring everything out. There are no locks or keys in this room. This room makes my top 10 out of 225 played.”

“I absolutely loved this room. This is a perfect room if you’re wondering what an escape is like. All of the puzzles are politely intuitive, and there’s always something to do so you’re never sitting around. This is a must do room if you’re ever wanting to do an escape room. Gabriel was super nice, and hilarious.”

“We enjoyed this escape room and the puzzles within it. Our host was very friendly. There was some technical glitches with the very last puzzle and we would have escaped a lot sooner if it had been working properly.”

“We did this one right after hide and squeak, done a few magic themed ones and this one was amazing and super fun!! More high tech but wow the effects were incredible. The overall theme and story was great and loved all the twists and turns. Ended really well and our game master was awesome. This company is amazing!”

“If you’re up for a good friendly challenge then this a fun one to try out. I really enjoyed the player to game interactions that happened throughout the entire experience. Our GM did an excellent job assigning us the correct positions in the game. This game can get a bit loud and competitive at times but that’s because we were all trying to win.”

“Like all rooms at Exit Strategy, this game seemed super smooth and polished, which I really appreciate. It was also on the easy side (as are all their games), but I'm OK with not being their target difficulty and appreciate them thinking so much about a positive player experience. This was one of the best split start rooms I've ever played, and this is a big reason I rated this room highly. My nightmare for split starts is when one side is sitting around for extended periods with nothing to do, waiting for the other side to finish their backlog of puzzles or finally find the key they've been overlooking since the beginning. The Butcher's Torture Chamber did a brilliant job avoiding this -- we were constantly doing things and passing information back and forth, which is IMHO the strength and point of a split start. The set was more a Halloween level of spooky/gruesome rather than really going for creepy, so it's (relatively) family friendly.”

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!
