The Roosevelt Escape Room

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.

Excellent room as are all of the games at palaces Escape. Unusual by modern standards in how much you reused the same game elements over and over. But it worked. I loved how the game is designed to require teamwork for many of the tasks. The theme was unusual and familiar at the same time. And of course the set was fantastic. Loved it!

Of the 3 my group did here (Roosevelt, Attraction and Edison), this was my least favorite of the 3. It was still a really good escape room and had a lot of teamwork based puzzles. Felt a bit repetitive with the amount of times you needed to redo puzzles. Also, playing this one after playing the other 2 definitely made this one feel worse at the time than it actually was. It had some cool elements, great set design, but would not be my first to recommend here.

We did this room with 4 players but the space is definitely large enough for 2 more. Some of the puzzles were a bit repetitive, but overall a fun room.

Roosevelt is a huge game by square footage, there are a lot of puzzles but there was something missing about this game to make it memorable. There are several rooms and puzzles where you keep coming back and solving puzzle with different variations. However it’s not the most exciting thing to do over and over again. That being said this game is still solid, just contains a lot of puzzles that may be frowned upon. Get ready to do a bit of math, read a lot of laminated papers etc.

A bit older sort of puzzles compared to the other rooms at Palace of Fine Arts but still a fun room. Not a room suited for those with ADA needs. There were also some moments that if you were shorter than 5ft 4, you will need help completing.

Although the puzzles weren’t as good as Edison in my opinion, I enjoyed the Roosevelt theme the most out of all the Palace Games themes. One of the puzzles felt a little bit repetitive. The last section had a little mishap with a few things not working, but we worked through it and it didn’t take away from the drive we had to complete the room. Did this with a group of 4 and it felt like a good number. Enjoy the patriotism and old school feel to this room. Bully!

This is a really classic escape room that I would recommend to anyone. Puzzles are fun and unique. Space is large and can support 4-6 enthusiasts. Not scary.
