The Clock Tower

This room had potential, but the entire experience was hindered by the employees who were in the control room smoking weed. Not only was the smell permeating the room, but they were obviously baked out of their minds and often took up to 10 minutes to give a hint. In general, the solutions were novel and the room is immersive. I just can't recommend this (as a family escaper.)

If I could do in between thumbs down and up, I would. This game looks beautiful, but that’s all it has going for it. The puzzles are illogical at best, and our experienced team needed to ask for numerous clues just to get an answer that came out of nowhere. In addition, some of the puzzles make you feel like you’re breaking the set, and combined with the fact that a lot of the tech is faulty, it’s not a good time. If they just scrapped all the puzzles and went in fresh, this game might be salvageable.

Great set design, but This is a really difficult room. It’s not intuitive at all. We needed nonstop clues from start to finish.

The Clock Tower in Boston was my very first escape room and I have been hooked ever since. From what I remember, the puzzles were fun and the atmosphere was just right. The perfect amount of kitsch and immersion for the mad scientist brand of puzzles. My group of 4 and another group were tasked with getting out, and though we didn’t make it in time, it was still a memorable experience that I recommend.

This room is brilliant and a must try. The only reason we got stuck is it was just two of us and we were a bit off our game. All the puzzles made sense to the very rich storyline. One of the best time travel themed experiences we’ve had. One very memorable puzzle challenged every escape room rule we knew but resulted in such satisfaction.

Such a great time! We didn’t make it out but we still absolutely loved it. Wish we could go back in time and try it again! 🕰
