Southport School for WizardsMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLVery fun hour. Just hard enough for novice players. We did have one hearing impaired person in our group who couldn’t quite make out what was being said at crucial moments in the game and made one of the puzzles impossible for him. This one thing aside, Southport School for Wizards is a great room if you’re doing an escape room for the first time.
Escape Your FearsMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThe atmosphere of this one is super spooky and the puzzle order is very satisfying. Lock puzzle heavy but there are a few other surprises in solving. Excellent use of darkness.
Uncle Ned's CabinMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis is the Escape Room that first time escapees in Maine should do. Perfect for a group of 4 or 5. Puzzles are largely riddle/brainteaser style with some easier mechanical puzzles mixed in. Light fun!
Alien InvasionMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLSix of us did this room and the layout is super cool and surprising. The puzzles got more involved and interesting as the game progressed. A good time for novice gamers.
PanaceaRoom Escapers BostonEscape roomIRLI feel like this was a promising introduction to the Escape room scene in Boston. The puzzles were clever but not necessarily easy and the non-linear nature of these puzzles would lend itself well to a larger group who could pair off to solve things. It’s got a great dark academia feel. I appreciated there was only one lock and key puzzle and was delighted with the “Magic tricks”. The only puzzle we were less fond of was finding the place. Boston has rules for signage on its historical buildings so you have to look for the unassuming wooden door with a three on it between the Chipotle and the Bruegger’s Bagles (as of 4/2024) and go up to the second floor. Had we known that our escape room adventure started on the street… All in all, this was a fun room and we will recommend this to our Escape room friends.
