Crane Manor

This game is something very special. Although not linear, we found ourselves able to follow a trail and easily keep track of what was still needed, set some things aside, knowing we would need them later, and never feeling lost or not knowing what to do next. Some very unique and fun ways to solve and clever clues that made me smile the whole time. Each solve made me feel more confident and there were several "ah ha!" moments where I thought I might actually be a modern, living genius. Somehow the designers have made this room feel incredibly expensive, with a TON of historic personality. As a group of two, we were a bit nervous to tackle the game but found it really suited our play style, which was to divide, discover and then come back together to solve. Overall, I give this room (and Excalibur) my highest recommendation.

This room was so cool, probably my favorite at Clue IQ. It’s their hardest room for a reason for sure! There were a LOT of puzzles but none of them were overwhelmingly challenging. Loved the spooky sleepy hallow vibes!

Easily one of the best mysteries I've done. Good balance to puzzles. Great for a size-able team we had 5. Divide and conquer you will need the time we got it in 68/75 minutes. It was close and we were moving through it at a good pace. Happy to one off this room, I'll for sure be back.

Such a fun room and company. Felt very welcomed by all the staff. You can tell the creator of the room loves escape rooms and does a wonderful job.

Great thematic experience. Loved the use of the entire room and the return to clues found early on. Would definitely recommend. Groups of 4 to 8 seems ideal.

Our team loved this room! We loved that we could split up and explore different things simultaneously so everyone in our group of 7 was involved . Game master was awesome and explained everything well. We were able to complete without hints.

This was an amazing room! We enjoyed the non-linear format. It had some unique puzzles. We had a great time!

Really well designed and solidly executed room design and gameplay. Our game master Lisa was an absolute delight. Will definitely be back to check out there other rooms when I am in town next.

This is the first room out of over 250 rooms for me and at least 150 for my guy, that says minimum number of people recommended is 4 where we agree because there are puzzles that work better and faster with 2+ people with how spread out the space is and the sound effects/music you need to talk over. But all in all it was very well laid out and runs smoothly if you pay attention around the room. Really great game! Highly recommend for enthusiasts and at least more escape room puzzle familiar players. If you aren't pretty familiar with escape rooms just bring more people with you. I would actually repeat this room a year or 2 from now when I've forgotten the puzzles because it was fun. It's a well decorated space with puzzles that do take thought but your attention to detail makes all the difference in how you'll do. We would have escaped if we had at least 1 extra person with us because its a heavy puzzle room which really added to the fun for our date night. The game master was highly impressed with how we play rooms and communicate because it's a difficult room with only 2 people so many don't escape and we did with the extra 10 minutes she gave us since we were down at least 1 more person.

My fiancé and I have probably done around 50 escape rooms together at this point, and we both agreed that this is one of if not the best escape room we’ve done. Creative puzzles that are challenging but make sense. Multiple rooms. And SO immersive with incredible ambiance and effects. We completed the room with just the two of us and used two clues. Our game master Lisa was so friendly, kind, and encouraging, which was just the icing on the cake. Could not recommend more highly! My fiancé’s contribution: HELL YEAH BROTHER!
