A Knight to Escape

Starting off as a prisoner was a trip. My husband's best friend and he went into one room, leaving me with the best friend's husband, and it was so awesome. Working as two independent groups until the puzzles finally linked us together was great Sadly, we didn't finish the room, but the suduko was to blame. If it wasn't for that puzzle, this room would've been perfect! It still ranks as my number q game.of.all time, so.ease go play it!

On vacation, and in Orlando, we decided to try out a two hour escape experience. This place was off the hook it was a massive undertaking four 4 people with some really excellent puzzles and a great theme! There isn't just some mental skills needed to get out of this room, there are some physical ones as well. There is one puzzle that almost ruins the room, it's not hard, just a major time sync, and if you've seen any of it reviews, I hate those! All in all, even with that bad puzzle, this room rates as my second favorite room ever. Well done! Highly Reccommended.

For our third round at Escape Effect we had a good but not extraordinary time. Theme and the set were awesome and puzzles were very novel which enjoyed a lot! Though our big problem here was the darker side of the game. We understood the point of it being a low lit dungeon but there were things that were hard to make connections with it being so dark. Although with that said we genuinely had a good time with the dynamic of the room and will be back soon for Odds with the Gods :)

This is a good game, I didn’t feel like this needed to be a 2 hour room. One of the very last puzzles though really needs to be replaced. This is a good room that could be a great room with some slight tweaking. Also, your group will be split for the majority of the game.

I have never walked away from a room with just complete disappointment. We looked forward to this room our entire trip and it was extremely disappointing. Puzzles didn’t match story for the most part. They were extremely random and without any type of legitimate flow. Extremely disappointed.

Our group of 6 conquered it! The Gamemaster providing guidance when asked and did a nice job guiding the experience when we were struggling to satisfy a puzzle. The company was super clean, the art was awesome, and the room had a really nice mix of puzzles. Loved the 2-hour format!

There were too many instances where one side or the other just had to sit and wait. Puzzles on each side didn't necessarily connect with the story. Gamemaster didn't respond immediately for hint requests. Music was too loud making communication with our hearing impaired friend difficult. Had to explain to gamemaster where we were in solving puzzles, wasting time on multiple occasions.

I wish Morty had another option for their rating scale. I didn’t dislike it enough to give it a thumbs down, but I don’t think a thumbs up really captures it either. I would give this room a “aaaahhh” or a so/so. There were a lot of cool mechanical aspects to this room, the set was great, and I liked the teamwork that the room encouraged. But at the same time, there were a lot of repetitive lines of logic, there were times when one side of the room just stood there because they had to wait for the other team to finish a puzzle, a team member of ours was hurt by a poorly designed puzzle (the gm never asked if he was okay so I’m not sure if they were even paying attention when that happened), and a lot of the puzzles had logic leaps. I really feel this room could have flowed way better if you meet up with the other team earlier. I also think the room would have been shorter if that was the case. Still one of the better rooms at this location.
