Foster's Fortune

Solid room but I like rooms with more tech in them. Observation skills are a must to make it out of this room

A lovely space with the historic house's original features intact. A lot of look-and-find, arranged in a clever way.

Fun room! Not over the top, but had some fun puzzles and cool tricks!

When you think escape room/mystery to solve, this is it. This is that room!! The location/building is perfection. 😍

This was our 44th escape room (with a couple of replays) and the second time we've played Foster's Fortune (the previous time was 3+ year ago when we played with only 3 players, so it was like we were playing it for the first time). We were reminded why The Mystery Mansion (and their satellite, Escape Unknown) are the best in town. This time we played with 6 people (including 2 first-timers who excelled), which worked well for a non-linear game with as many clever and diverse clues as this game has. We were "on" tonight and able to finish the room with 13:37 remaining, and inadvertently skipped two locks but were able to bypass them and complete the room anyway. Our game master (Chris) provided one set of hints on a specific puzzle, but also helped explain (during the game) a couple of things that happened when everyone didn't see a specific puzzle get solved. That added to the experience since we weren't all in the same place at the same time. The room has some unique and interesting puzzles and everything worked well (the Mystery Mansion seems to take pride in being the best in Little Rock). The game master described Foster's Fortune as their 3rd hardest room (of 8, including Escape Unknown) and despite our escape we experienced a definite challenge. Another excellent Mystery Mansion experience!

The story was the best and based on real history. To make it even cooler, President Roosevelt has actually been a guest in this house and sat in the very room that the Escape is in. Not a room for lazy players as you must actually work to solve the puzzles.

At the time I did this room, it easily had the most impressive and engaging puzzles of any room I had ever done. Mystery Mansion is the place that made me realize there are different classes of escape rooms. My friends and I left this room so energized from the challenge that we immediately asked the staff if any of their other rooms had availability for us to do immediately! Highly highly recommend.

This room was difficult, but if you like a good challenge then this is the room for you. Everything that you need for puzzles is in the room within sight. So you really have to notice things around the room. I’m not a fan of rooms like this.
