Sir Walter Speakeasy

Needed to go to ONE escape room while I was out visiting Raleigh this weekend — Sir Walter’s Speakeasy was the one that piqued my interest the most. So I grabbed my motley crew and we tackled it. Fun room, fairly difficult puzzles, not much of a thorough flow by any means. Truthfully, when you enter, there is MUCH to be desired, and you sort of feel like there’s nothing happening. As you progress, you’ll find more and more little things appear, so not all is lost. The experienced escape room lover will definitely be perplexed and feel a sense of ease here. Definitely had fun.

This room has so much potential. The stand out are the puzzles. Everything else from the flow, to the storyline needs some form of clarity and/or a overhaul to really make it top notch. The game master was nice and the customer service was great.

I overall enjoyed the room! There was some puzzles in the room that I felt were overly confusing and needed a lot of explanation in order to make sense! There were also some very unique puzzles in the room though!

I hate to say I didn’t like this room at all, but unfortunately that was the case. There were some cool puzzles In there but the room had zero flow. There wasn’t any clue on what to actually do and when we did get an answer or code, no idea on where or how to put it in, even if there were instructions saying how to. Things were reused over and over which makes me feel this was thrown together sadly. I really hoped for more for such a cool building.

This is a fun theme with some very unique clues. I’m not sure if I fully followed the story line or understood how the clues connected but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Fun room. Overall good but maybe not great. Immersion and puzzles were average. I’d say worth doing if you’re already in the area but perhaps not worth going out of your way for.
