The Executive

We had a great time at The Forsaken Archives. This was a great room which gets you back to the root of escape rooms, solving puzzles. This room does not have a lot of electronics (which was 100% okay with us) and relies more on basic knowledge and puzzle solving skills. The puzzles are challenging without being impossible. We really enjoyed that the puzzles were linear and the bonus challenges were a great added touch. We loved the story of how the Forsaken Archives came to be and really love supporting smaller venues! Definitely book a room here!

Great room, lots of fun and solid puzzles that were satisfying to solve. Not a lot of bells and whistles (pretty basic set design) but if you’re here for the puzzles it’s got them! Interesting mechanic for calculating time using credit from bonus puzzles. If you have a team of experienced players, recommend playing with a smaller group. Over all had a great time, would recommend.

A singular room with a relatively easy puzzle progression that is accompanied by some challenge puzzles that only effect your score, not the story. This game will be tough for those with little escape room experience but easy for experienced people. There is true use of ciphers, patterns and math. Story is a little underwhelming when paired with the actual set of the room too. Unfortunately nothing is going to wow most in this room.
