The Family Cabin

overall a cute theme with some fun mechanical puzzles. it was mostly linear especially in the front half, so there was some standing around for a few people here and there. the set could use some upkeeping but the story was inventive and the nostalgia elements were great. i loved most of the puzzles!

The first bit of this game was very good, but after you get into the second room, everything goes downhill very quickly. We were told this room was linear, and while it mostly is, it has a strange combination of linear and non-linear game design, which makes it quite jarring to play if you're experienced. It also breaks some escape game rules, such as using objects multiple times. Our GM was super nice, but very clearly wasn't paying attention, as he often gave us clues that were irrelevant or things that we had obviously already figured out. This room was really borderline between a thumbs up and a thumbs down. I'd actually recommend this as a game for enthusiasts to play, but only if you've run through all the other great games in the area first.

Very fun, nostalgic room.

Thanks! Matthew was great!

Cute theme, fun puzzles with a sense of humor. Lots of puzzles and lots of locks but no one puzzle was especially hard. Has some wear and tear but over nostalgic and entertaining. Our GM was super nice and gave us a bit of extra time (which was especially generous because we were late due to traffic). Definitely recommend!

This was probably my favorite room I’ve ever done. Loved the cabin vibe, and the 90s element only added to the fun. There were a lot of unique puzzles and exciting surprises.

My favorite room at Quicksand! The puzzles in here are definitely a highlight. Solid, well themed and just the right amount of clueing. The story made sense, and the progression was great! One minor tech issue, but overall a smooth puzzle room.

So much nostalgia! Lots of unique puzzles. Did the room with two people which worked well, maybe go with up to six people.

What a nostalgic room. I have not had the chance to do all of Quicksand’s games yet but this might be my favorite one in this location. They had clever puzzles and the 90s references hit a sweet spot. Our game master also gave us pointers of where to take our group photo! Would recommend this room to tap into your inner child. While this experience is not a TERPECA winner, it wins a star in my books. Parking in this location could be quite difficult because there is no designated lot and you would have to find street parking.

Super fun nostalgia room! Puzzles had a lot of unique things and it flowed nicely. It was a tough room for 2 people but still doable! First time doing a room at quicksand but would go back for their other rooms. Game master was awesome!
