40 Thieves

The only scary part was NOT escaping in time. 😭

The room was decorated beautifully and stayed in theme with the story. The game play flowed well and allowed people or groups to solve puzzles on their own (non-linear).

Again, the decorations were beautiful, a few of the clue deliveries were funny too.

Our GM was very polite and helpful. She allowed us to solve the room without nudging us, which we appreciated.

I still consider myself a newbie, so I have only encountered one other bazaar themed room. Most of the puzzles were different from what I have encountered so far, but nothing was impossible.

The plot was great and the room was beautiful.

Hard only because there were so many puzzles, but none of the puzzles were so hard that we were stumped. Some just required a couple of brains looking at it from different perspectives.

The room was split between mechanical and high tech. My group tends to prefer mechanical rooms, but this mixture was fun.

I think this room would be tough for two players. Four feels comfortable. We played with five and having that many brains was helpful.

The room isn't scary at all, however, there is one slightly "eek" puzzle, but you know why when you see it.

I think 'tweens would enjoy this room, but they'd probably need a few adults to help with some of the tasks.

Everything was high quality and in tip-top condition.

Thank goodness.

Activity consists of walking around, nothing strenuous. One person must be willing to crawl.

I think the room would be difficult for people with impairments.

This is a legitimately challenging room. We had four experienced puzzlers and barely finished in time.

This is the rare room that rewards a team of at least 4. I would say 5-6 might have been fine in terms of the amount of puzzles, but the space would be a little tight, so I am going to stick with 4 as my recommended size.

There are things that would be fun for younger kids, but the game is legit challenging and I think they might find it frustrating.

One person does have to crawl.

Somewhat accessible, but not the whole space. Many puzzles rely on colors, sound, and even smell.

They were ADA compliant

I've never had so many awesome puzzles flow so well to the point where the only hint we needed was because we kept missing a visual cue that would have been noticed by a large group. It made the game enjoyable and rewarding as it gave you just the right amount of context to connect clues and puzzles without making it too easy.

From the start the design and special effects draw you in and keep you surprised throughout. The story is told and narrated in a wonderful way and certain events are perfectly integrated with the theme and flow of the room. Nothing seemed overly cheap or worn down, which is quite the accomplishment for a popular escape room.

The staff and GMs were awesome! We've done all the rooms at this location and the staff have always been accommodating, cheerful, and respectful of how we want to play. Couldn't have asked for better staff!

I can understand why this experience is so highly rated! There are so many things about this game that make it unique and memorable, to include the design and puzzles. Believe me when I say that this experience will make an impression and delight those smart enough to take it on.

One of the few escape room experiences that stays true to the story and utilizes the setting/atmosphere to the best of their ability to make a unique and clever game. Not only do you know what the story is at the start but your progress throughout the game follows along it quite well and the conclusion ties it all up nicely so you actually complete something related to it rather than a loosely related concept or idea that I'm used to from other escape rooms.

Many of these puzzles take some thought and cleverness and the sheer number of them is one of the primary reasons a larger group is encouraged. None of the puzzles are impossible and can be figured out with enough thought or observation.

This experience is a fair mix of mechanical and high tech but it definitely utilizes the tech more for special effects along with the puzzles. I would come prepared for a healthy mix of both as there are numerous puzzles that utilize magnets, sensors, numbers, and light to solve.

While we completed this game with 3 players, 4-6 experienced players would have definitely made some parts easier as there is a lot of communication that has to occur at the end. The number of puzzles and the complexity of later puzzles also pushes for larger groups to easy the time burden. The rooms themselves are mostly spacious and easily accommodates 6 players so don't be afraid of feeling cramped. Anymore than 6 might get hectic but would be recommended for those who are less experienced.

There is a certain part that gives you a brief jump scare or fright but it honestly results in those affected laughing at the sheer cliche of it.

Many of these puzzles are complicated at later portions and while a child can definitely help with the simpler puzzles near the start, they may flounder a bit near the end. Regardless, if included in a larger and more experienced group, younger kids can definitely enjoy this game and even notice subtle details as it was our own 10 year old who noticed something we didn't and helped us crack the last puzzle. Please ensure your children are respectful as there are numerous loose objects that can be picked up or thrown about that can be damaged by carelessness.

Not a single thing was broken or worn out. In fact, everything looks so crisp and well kept that I was thoroughly impressed considering the sheer amount of moving pieces and the popularity of this experience.

There are certain points in the room where you interact with people, but think of them as brief narrators who then use props or the room itself to give you items as rewards. You never outright interact with a physical person outside of your team.

You are going to be moving around a whole lot in this experience. If you have a smaller group, you will definitely be getting your cardio in as you go from one room to the other connecting all the puzzles and clues.

While some sections of this experience are friendly for those with mobility issues, I wouldn't recommend it as there is one part where at least one person has to crawl and another where the floor tiles shift. Color and sounds are also a major part of some puzzles, making it difficult for those with vision or auditory issues.

GPS led straight to the lot

Plenty of on-site parking.
