    Paradox Escape Room

    We weren’t impressed, honestly. The room was minimally decorated, but all of the furniture was used (besides the couch). The room isn’t large, and never progressed further. What you see initially is what you get. From the beginning we were told we would be solving 11 puzzles, that we could solve them in any order… but that we shouldn’t and actually can’t? A little bit of a confusing start from the game master. As the room progressed we got a few pieces (from a few different puzzles) that we thought were connected but were to entirely unrelated cluestreams. All of the puzzles felt disjointed, and that’s probably a reason why some of them were tricky since we didn’t have a stream of thought to continue to ride. The hint system didn’t have any logic to it. From the beginning we had access to ALL of the hints for the whole room and when we did need a hint we had to guess which one of the 11 puzzles we were on. If we guessed wrong, though, there was a 5 minute time out, so we would be stuck. Luckily our game master was quick to step in when that happened. If you don’t like locks with codes and keys, this isn’t the room for you. Also, very very math heavy. They did provide calculators, but very cheap ones that didn’t work well. Positives: -The notes containing puzzles were in world, and made sense with the story. -The audio clues were played out to the room and were easy to follow. -The game master was kind and encouraging -Some unique puzzles -Some tricky puzzles Overall, an okay experience for anyone who hasn’t done an escape room before, but not one that I would recommend to anyone.
