Sister's Secret

This game was convoluted and very frustrating. The owner blamed it on being "non-linear" and that maybe I wasn't used to doing non-linear rooms... We've done almost 40 rooms now, so we have run into non-linear rooms, but nothing made sense and the GM had to essentially lead us through the whole room. She was very apologetic. The people who rate this room high must just really rate it on the atmospheric nature of the room or because they really just like anything paranormal? Storyline is weak and some of the puzzles don't really fit the theme. Also, you're in one room basically, then two closets. It was the longest 90 minutes of my life and the owner is really defensive.

This was one of my first escape rooms and I was so creeped out by it! The ambience is very creepy (no live actors/jump scares though). Early on, we got plushies and I carried mine for most of the game :') There were some really unique puzzles and it is a bit difficult for beginner escape room players. There are A LOT of puzzles and it's non-linear, so it's a great room to play with 4+ people. There are also a lot of Hamilton references, which was hilarious.

Another great room! I enjoyed that we got 90 minutes in this room. It is very well needed as this room is jam packed with clues! So many cool little surprises in this room. Our game master was great, she did a fabulous job. We were so close to getting out, but this room really had ALOT to do. Get in there and focus! No time for error.

Overall we felt the puzzles were more tedious than fun, or feeling like they were logically contributing to the narrative. The story of the room was also confusing, and although we got the gist by the end, it left us feeling like it was just not very well thought out or integrated into most of the room. There were a few fun and interactive puzzles that we enjoyed though so it could have been worse.

Wasn’t scary as I thought but still a little unsettling. More on the visual puzzles which is why I did better compare to my other friends who prefer more logical. I really love it and would recommend.

This was a solid room for us to do. The game play was unique and fit the theme of the room, we only received hints/nudges when we absolutely needed them and it was just slightly spooky but not scary at all. We had a fantastic time!

We had such a fun time doing this room! This 75 minute room is PACKED with puzzles that all have very logical solutions. The creator did a great job making sure that it’s very clear which clues and keys go with which puzzles, and provided spooky moments throughout the entire experience without it being too scary. Highly recommend!

I loved this room! It was one of the most satisfyingly nonlinear rooms I've ever played. I did this room with my partner, and we worked separatley almost the entire time. It was super fun to debreif the room afterward because there was so much that one of us did that the other didn't get to see. The puzzles were a very appropraite level of difficulty. Just hard enough to be challenging and satisfying, but not difficult enough to be frustrating. Also, the room is supposed to be a little spooky (its paranormal investigation themed) but they named all the people in the story after Hamilton characters, so I couldn't take it seriously, haha. Super fun and interesting room overall, and I would 100% recommend.

My favorite room so far in San Diego. Highly recommended!!

Probably my favorite escape room so far! There were so many fun twists and lots of puzzles to do. My group of three was kept busy for the whole game, so I definitely recommend a bigger group for beginners! Also, I’m a huge scaredy cat, but still had fun so while it’s a horror themed room it’s not too bad! There are no live actors and I don’t recall a ton a jump scares.
