Storyteller's Secret

8.7/10 After traveling several miles to get to Boxaroo in Boston and try Storyteller’s Secret, we can definitely assure you it was worth it. The set itself was extraordinary and really immersed you into the author’s world. This had to be one of the best “non-escape” rooms we have been a part of, with puzzles galore and a plot that lasted over an hour without becoming boring. We personally thought the intro video and hint system really stood out (even though we didn’t need to use many hints). Our only hiccup with the room was the repetition of using and doing the same puzzles (and some technical difficulties with a specific puzzle). We wish they could have added a new layer of something, instead of having to go back to repeat what we just did. Otherwise, between the storyline, design, and gameplay, this room rightfully earned itself a rating of 8.7 on our scale.

This was hands down, THE best escape room we have ever done. I cannot say enough good things about it. Not only was the set design and production qualify far above anything I've seen, but the puzzles were exactly the right difficulty. Challenging, without being frustrating. Each activity was perfectly themed to the room concept. The logical flow of one puzzle to the next was flawless. We were engaged and busy and having a ton of fun every second we were there. Nothing felt out of place, or tedious. The level of tech utilization was not only awe-inspiring, but it was perfect to create an adventure experience that felt so seemlessly fun.

Fantastic room, really well decorated, great story line with just the right amount of reveal at each stage.

Really delightful room! Now my top recommendation for Boston. I absolutely loved how the puzzles layered and the space continued to have fun surprises. Great flow and variety. It's not the most challenging room I've done in Boston but it is the most memorable and enjoyable. There was simply not a single thing wrong at any point, and many brilliant and novel features.

This is not a linear room but it is a spectacular room! Our group finished in average time but didn’t break Neil Patrick Harris’ record. We crushed the first puzzle in the top 5% (2:29 vs the average of 6:19). If you love books, adventure, and teamwork, this is a must-try. The ore room tested us with tricky math, but the clever object reuses and adorable hint system made it unforgettable.

The room was fun and well thought out. It was really warm in the space with higher humidity. The tech in the game was fantastic but the theme was geared more for younger kids.

Wow, just wow. My new favorite game. It was incredibly well designed and executed. Set is beautiful and approachable. It invites you to touch and play with it. Puzzles flow well, are fun, logical and well integrated into the story. Great use of lighting cues too. Felt like a complete experience. I left feeling accomplished and happy and am still thinking about the game days later.

Probably my favorite escape room I’ve ever done! Lots of interesting, unique puzzles. Great system to give hints. Absolutely loved it. My only complaint was that it was a little hot in the room, AC needs turned up!

This room was very immersive. The atmosphere was a lot of fun. Very different style of puzzles. Great use of multiple rooms. I highly recommend this room. It was great.

The most technically advanced room we've ever done and one of the best overall! The story and theme were excellent. The room and puzzles flowed perfectly.
