This game was fun but I feel like there was a lot of wasted opportunity with some of the objects and clues. I just which there was more to the game. The game was good, it just wasn’t anything that stood out for me. Though if you are new to escape rooms this may be a good one for you to try I. The beginning.

Atmosphere

The design was cool and I love how they used random objects as a cool way to figure out a problem that involves up and down buttons.


Customer service

The staff was wonderful

Another spectacular game. It’s basically two completely different themes combined into one game. The one downside about this one is all of the virtual puzzles. There are several screens in the second half of the game with self contained virtual puzzles. I always prefer physical puzzles to this. Still a definite play

Difficult room but also really fun and intuitive. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a challenging escape room!

Wowww totally unexpected and very very neat room. Lots of twists and I totally had a different vision as to what it would be about. Lots of puzzles to keep you busy, good use of tech, just really cool all around. You will love it!

Story

Definitely a well themed room with a solid plot. Something I wasn’t expected and not your every day typical story that gets replayed and reused.

This escape room feels like two separate experiences linked together by plot. I personally enjoyed the first half more. The second half becomes very high tech, and it’s just not my personal jam. The second half is impressively high tech, though some of the puzzles feel like trial and error. The second half also becomes tricky to find stuff to do if you’re a bigger group, given the focus required on the main puzzles

We were paired with the sweetest family of first time players. The dad brought his 3 kids, and they were all excited and inquisitive about escape rooms. As seasoned players, it was fun to share what to look for me help teach the kids how to find clues. The room is immersive and the reveals are genius! Just a blast!

Truly the only room I wasn’t fully a fan of at The Escape Game, and they are one of my favorite companies. The first half of the game is so beautiful and fun, but the second half fell very short, and became a tech nightmare. I don’t think I have ever felt so dumb trying to solve a puzzle in my life, and even with hints it just truly made zero sense. I take full blame for my air-headed ways, but even still the second half was just not enjoyable. I wish there was just a whole room themed to the Moroccan Market half, now that would be a room I would run to.

First half was amazing, second half I really did not enjoy.

Hands down, THE best escape room I have ever completed. This was the best design I’ve ever seen in a room EVER and was blown away by the tech that went into this room. This should be on every escape room goers wishlist!

Great set and awesome puzzles that use more than just 1 sense. I felt the second room tied to the first could be slightly insensitive, but only in certain aspects. This could easily go under someone’s nose but still thought to mention.
