12 escape rooms

This was our first 60Out escape room. I liked the concept of the room and there was a nice surprise. The puzzles work with the magic theme. It flows well. It’s great for beginners like us, but experienced escapers might get bored. Some of the equipment looks updated. I wish it was more decorated to the theme. I would recommend 2-4 in the room. Anymore people and it will feel cramped.

Gameplay

It flowed well. This would be a great escape room for beginners (like us). There is some physical activity.

Atmosphere

The room is a bit out dated. It wasn’t as decorated as other rooms we have been in.

Customer service

The staff were welcoming. I think we ran out of time already, and they had us finish escaping anyways.

Particularly interesting or different

No

It’s a nice concept, but it missed the mark a little bit for me. There was a nice surprise during the game.

Story

The story flowed well! You can’t go wrong with magic!

Difficulty

Medium

With noobs like us, I’d say it’s on the medium side but with more experienced players and if you are in a larger group of 4 or more, then it could be much easier.

2-4 is a good number. Anymore would be cramped.

This room was another great one from 60out. It was different and a cool way to start the room. It is a bit physical so be prepared to climb, pull, and crawl haha. Also tight spaces so if you are claustrophobic it may trigger you. We had a blast and enjoyed the theme. Our GM was also awesome. We loved meeting Beans! I recommend.

Too easy! It’s a lot of fun. Unique and less math-forward. Very hands on! But I wouldn’t go with a group bigger than 4. We loved the Houdini-esque features, but as experienced escape roomers we finished with 27 mins to spare and felt like there were a few too many unsolicited hints, haha. I recommend it, but ask for no hints!

Well designed room. More physically demanding from any other escape room I've done. This is not scary but if you are claustrophobic I would caution. I would rate this on the easier side than medium, often thinking if there was more to it.

This room does require a lot more physical movement as compared to other escape room (see website descriptions). There are quite a bit β€œthink outside the box” puzzle which I think is great. Generally the escape room is fairly straightforward and linear. Recommend to reconsider if you are claustrophobic, as emergency escape in one of those situation is not apparent. Overall, 6/10

Fun room that is very different. The puzzles fit the theme very well, but are not too difficult. The atmosphere is nothing too crazy, but also fit the theme pretty well. Thinking about how some escape rooms are very puzzle heavy and others are more an experience, I would put this one on the experience pile. There are some pretty memorable moments.

Gameplay

Some very unique things, that might not be for everyone though.

I rate this escape experience a 4/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). The set/theme did not entail much but had some pretty cool experiences scattered throughout. There was a bit of Houdini trickery in the beginning that took us WAY too long and required a helpful hunt. I give the set/theme 1.5 pts. Again, not much to it but the 'magical' experiences we were part of made up for that. The puzzles were few and relatively easy when you get the idea so 1 point here. I really enjoyed the room because of the fun and unique experiences it provided so 1.5pts here.
