Other than being force fed hints for half the game, resulting in finish very quickly, I had a great time. The set was fun, the puzzles were great, and the story was nice.

Neighbor was a somewhat easy room since most of us in the party were experienced with harder games, but it was still a great experience! The set was quite big, and i really liked the decorations. The smart-home part was very intuitive and interactive, and i had a blast working with the tech in the game! The game was very linear, so i wouldn’t recommend too many people since you can run out of things to do. Overall, i think this was a great game with some memorable moments, and great usage of tech!

I’m a Steal and Escape fan girl. An Evangelist for the miracle of Steal and Escape. The neighbor takes an already wonderful game and beefs it up to an entirely new experience for the next gen of escape rooms. Truly immersive, challenging while being rewarding, and story driven. Never a bad idea to go to steal and Escape.

Some unique, clever and fun tech in this room. Probably the most Raspberry Pi and Arduino’s ever in a room!

Very fun room. My wife and I were really impressed by the technology of it all. You're stuck in a smart house for a hour. Love the fact that you actually had to talk to the house in order to progress!! I'd say it's a pretty immersive experience. We came on a sunny day and we got into the room. We instantly felt transported to a different darker environment. It felt a little spooky to us, not really scary. Just a darker environment. Overall, very fun and highly recommended!!

The Mechanics of these rooms are awesome however, for me, I felt the story telling needed some work. My group and I would get very confused about how or why some puzzles worked. Kind of hard to explain. All and all we had a great visit and if the storytelling were tweaked it would be even better.

This is one of my favorite rooms. The main mechanic of this room involves interacting with the smart home. I had a blast talking to the AI and the GM loved watching us take advantage of the AI system as well. Over 400 responses are programed into the system through Google API, so enjoy it! The atmosphere is great and Steal and Escape really cares about their immersion. Something that I really appreciated for this room was that it was very clear what opened when you solved a puzzle (I.e. there are announcements saying which drawer # opened). Not very many traditional locks and the ending was fun! This is the room that really kick started my love for escape rooms!

Take advantage of interacting with the smart home!!! It makes the game super fun.


Atmosphere

The stage is set immediately upon entering this room. The lighting, temperature, and overall ambiance is perfect.
