The Secrets of The Master

Do not play this game. Walking in feels very overwhelming as this company does escape rooms, axe throwing, rage room, painting etc. Walking into the room you have very little to go off - and the biggest problem was we had no way of communicating with our game master. We are given a tablet to ask for clues but were in the “wrong” channel and got no response for over 10 minutes. Locks/puzzle mechanics were worn and difficult to open. Key puzzle really needed to be maneuvered in a specific way - GM even struggled when walking us through the ending. TLDR; there are much better escape experiences in the Tacoma area.

We did this one with our 10 and14 year old kids. They enjoyed and were able to help some. The room was pretty basic overall. Some puzzles were confusing but we did escape. With a few more adult brains it may have been easier.

the immersion and decoration of this room were lacking. it was very empty and flat feeling. the flow of the puzzles was okay but nothing special. the staff were nice but i think one person was running multiple rooms at once which is not the coolest. the Worst thing about this experience was the clue giving system. they give you a tablet on which to text message them, and then they take several minutes to respond. this wouldn’t be a huge deal if they didn’t have a puzzle which requires you to verify your code with your host before entering it. you’re going to force me to message you and then i have to wait several minutes for you to answer while my time is ticking away? not cool. there are lots of better escape rooms in tacoma, i would recommend choosing another place.
