What a fun time we had. This is like a choose your puzzle room adventure. The 40+ rooms are a mix of physical, mental, mystery, and/or skill challenges. You get to choose which ones you want to do and retry them to get a better score if you like. We paid for two hours and got though all the rooms we wanted to play and played some of them multiple times. We could have easily gone another two hours and played their art hunts and arena games, too. We found that we were good at the mental and skill games, but not so much with the physical games so we skipped some of those. We highly recommend this experience.

This was our least favorite of the games we played at Five Wits, and we have played all four (Espionage in Syracuse included). This may be because two of the puzzles did not work, and because nobody was monitoring the game, we just had to wait for each of those puzzles to time out. This was confirmed by the staff after they checked those two puzzles. They apologized but offered no compensation or the chance to replay the room. That was okay. We understand there can be tech issues with games like this. It didn't stop us from playing the other games. The set design was very good. The game flows nicely. There is never a time when you ask yourself, "What's next". Five Wits is an escape room-like experience. They say you have 30-45 to get through the 3 rooms of each game. Our team of two finished most of the games in under 30 minutes. These games are much more task-based than puzzle-based, and each task is timed. There are no hints available. If you cannot complete a task/puzzle, it will eventually time out and you will need to move on to the next task or room.

This was our favorite game by far at 5 Wits. The storybook vibe from the intro to the ending was fantastic. This had more escape room-like puzzles than the other ones. The set design, like their other rooms, was fantastic, as was the flow of the game and the audio narration. Five Wits is an escape room-like experience. They say you have 30-45 to get through the 3 rooms of each game. Our team of two finished most of the games in under 30 minutes.

This game felt more high-tech than the others. There was one puzzle/task that we did every way possible, but it never triggered. Unfortunately, since there is no game master, you cannot ask for help, hints, or clarification on anything. The first room has very little signposting or directions (unlike the other games), but it was immersive. The second room is the most escape room-like with the puzzles it has. The third room is pretty wild and having four people would be helpful. It was tough with just two. Overall, this was our second favorite game at 5 Wits. Five Wits is an escape room-like experience. They say you have 30-45 to get through the 3 rooms of each game. Our team of two finished most of the games in under 30 minutes.

This was an okay game. For us, it was comparable to Tomb. We enjoyed Drago's Castle and Deep Space more. Five Wits is an escape room-like experience.
