The Roosevelt Escape Room

This room is hard. They lowered the minimum for this game due to covid to 4, and we tried with 4. Escaped in 95 minutes, and it's a 90 minute game. The game master had to come into our game to help us a few times (physically holding things, since there were so few of us). I prefer Edison to this game.

Of the 250+ rooms we’ve done, this is by far my absolute favorite. So many interesting puzzles. Great back and forth flow. Multiple rooms. Non linear and great for groups. I can’t wait to try their other rooms.

Second favorite room at the Palace of Fine Arts. These rooms always hold themselves to a high standard and I feel are worth the price point. Lots of high tech related puzzles here and a fun surprise at the end. Pay attention as there aren't really any red herrings and even if you don't work on it now, you will come back to them. It feels like I went through a journey with Roosevelt. Would suggest at least 6 people for this. Bully!

I would rank this one as my least favorite out of the three that I've done here (Edison, Houdini, and Roosevelt). Echoing what other people have said, the puzzles were immersed in the storyline and required teamwork (features that I look for in an escape room experiences) but what we had to do still felt redundant to me, especially with two puzzles in particular. Those two puzzles may feel frustrating since you have to solve the same puzzle but with a different mindset. We had a group of 7 for this room, and I think that this room has the most square footage so there was never really a time where we were all physically cramped or there was a dull moment. The last room would not be suited for someone with ADA needs. Love the surprise at the end, and those puzzles. This is a classic escape room and would still be in my top echelon of escape room experiences.

Amazing room with amazing puzzles

The place was huge! Definitely needs multiple people to escape.

Tons of fun! Very immersive. I would definitely recommend it.

I proposed to my wife Megan in this room and we still managed to escape.

I would totally recommend this to others! The location may be a bit hard to find as it’s a bit small in a large cluster of buildings. The set of puzzles is pretty good with some of the better types other escape room enthusiasts may have encountered. The room is large so large groups can split into teams to solve puzzles, which I like; it makes it a bit non-linear and you can strategize based on each individual’s strengths. Although I’ll say one puzzle can be a bit technically difficult in the sense that I wish some of the pieces stuck better.
