Great room for beginners. Everything was super well maintained, and was themed perfectly! Our GM, Daniel, was very nice, and super cute.

Took my nieces (both 10) to do their first escape room over the holiday and had a splendid experience. The room is built to be kid friendly and they were able to complete most of the puzzles without much help from me and my partner. There were a maybe ~4 puzzles that were a little too advanced for them but not too hard with our help. There was a LOT of puzzles in this game which made the experience much more fun. Everything was well designed, clever, and well maintained. You can tell that the owner cares about the quality of his game.
Our GM was the owner and he was great!

We had nothing but “paw-sitive” vibes at Cityscape Games! It was our first day in training as a Zookeeper at the Tacoma Zoo, and let’s just say that my mom and I had a “zoo-rific” time! It was my mom’s first escape room, and it was definitely the perfect one for her to try! I would highly recommend this room for beginners because it was playful, had a perfect mixture of puzzles between mechanical, gen 1, and physical puzzles, and it was presented in a fun and interactive way that really tested our skills. Even though this escape room was puzzle heavy (4-5 puzzles each category) and multi-linear, it was fairly easy to follow once you got started. The storyline was super cute and just a lot of fun! The props were well taken care of, everything was up to date, and the gameplay went smoothly. My favorite part was the reveal at the end, so keep on the look out! For this room though, I would recommend a group of 2-3 players due to the physical space. This room is fairly small compared to other escape rooms. Even with 2 people, it felt a little cramped, so 2-3 players would be my recommendation if you want to play comfortably and interact better with each other.
The gameplay flowed really smoothly! This room is very puzzle heavy and multi-linear, which is perfect for a group of 2-3 players if you want everyone to interact and to test your skills. It was the perfect mixture of puzzles for beginners which introduced different kinds of puzzles out there in the escape room world (directional locks, word puzzles, lock-and-key conundrums, etc).
With the space that they had, they utilized it pretty well! Between the wallpaper, the diversity of puzzles, the props, and the Reveal, it was immersive! I just wished they had more physical space so we didn’t feel so cramped, but overall, this was a cute room to play in!
Our GM was Bria, and she was attentive to our needs and was helpful when we got stuck. She was really patient with us and stayed in character the whole time.

The location was easy to find and there is ample parking as well.

Super fun game! Played with my wife and our two young kiddos (8 and 11) and the variety of puzzle types gave everyone the opportunity to shine. Loved finding an escape room that we could take our kids to. It’s clear that the owner cares about his games.

Thanks for coming in tonight and I'm glad you had an enjoyable experience! Zookeeper is a game that is very much designed for beginners and kids, so the linear puzzle flow is there to cater to those types of players. I try to communicate that on my website, but I am not sure if you're the one who made the booking so you might not have known that going into the game. Either way, I'm sorry you weren't able to engage with your whole group like you wanted. For future reference, I think yall would really enjoy Rockstar which is a bit more challenging and bilinear so there's more opportunity for whole group interactions :)

Extremely kid friendly room with interesting puzzles for all ages. Puzzles are on the easier side but still fun to solve. The little surprise reward in the end is a sweet touch.

I'm so glad you had a fun time, even with the easier difficulty :) As a puzzle designer, I believe that just because a puzzle is on the easier side doesn't mean that it can't still be fun and interesting.

I enjoyed this room as an experienced player but would easily recommend it for first time room escapers. This is kind of experience you want first time player to have. Fun, plenty of aha moments, cute design, great game master that keeps you on track and great props… the kind of game that inspires you to play more escape rooms. Was actually a very good solo experience. Glad it was 70 minutes because I probably wouldn’t have finished it in 60 because there are a lots of puzzles!
As a solo player, I had a lot of fun! Technically a liner game but didn’t feel linear. I like how you could easy track your progression.
Cute room. Loved the handmade touches like the birds! Good audio.
Daniel was excellent at anticipating my needs as a solo player.
Thanks for coming to play Tyler!! My first solo player in Zookeeper couldn't have gone any better :)

So. Frickin. Adorable. This is a perfect room to bring a new player or young player to as their first introduction to escape rooms while also being an enjoyable room for experienced players to appreciate. Clear puzzles, clever theming and an overall good time.
