    Great room with fun puzzles and integration of the set into the puzzles. Really tight to try to get out in 45 minutes. Don't hesitate to ask for hints if you're stuck. Not a scary room at all, despite what the doll in the thumbnail may lead you to believe.

    Not an escape room, but so much fun. You're given 75 minutes to access a variety of rooms, each has an assortment of possible mini games, e.g. throwing balls at screens on a wall, searching for things on a button wall, or jumping across a maze of lit tiles. If another a group is inside the room you want, you have to wait until their minigame finishes, which eats into your 75 minute allotment. You can select higher difficulties as you complete them.

    Super cute and charming room. Good theming and fun, straightforward puzzles. Good for families with children. It was easy for my group of 5 adults but we still had fun.

    This room has great practical effects. The puzzle thread is very linear, so I'd recommend groups of only 2 or 3 to crowd around the next puzzle and solve together. We were warned in advance that the room contains some loud noises, water effects, and mildly strobing lights. Our game master was very attentive to us and was wonderful. I would give this room a heart if it weren't for how finicky most of the inputs in this game are. Some mechanical inputs and locks have to be lined up exactly in order to register as correct, and it's hard to tell whether you have the wrong answer or if the inputs need adjusting. This was a frequent occurrence throughout the experience.

    Note: The rooms at Oscars Playground are part of Escape Room 831 ~~ I enjoyed this room. It had a variety of puzzles that were all fun to solve. However some parts that ought to be linear are not, so we ended up triggering the introductory voice line about halfway through our experience. Overall a solid room and solid experience. We had two people but I think three or four would work as well.

    Wonderful room! I'm not a big scary room person but I appreciated the story and how the spook factor added to the atmosphere. The scariness didn't feel like it inhibited our interaction with the room and its puzzles, and added to a cinematic experience. Shout out to our game master Allen.

    Great immersion, atmosphere, and interactivity. Not the hardest puzzling and can feel quite linear at parts, but the immersion is what carries the experience here

    Great game, and our GM/owner was super nice. Fun theme and backstory, and the puzzles fit nicely with that. The main difficulty of the game was staying organized and understanding which puzzles or locks didn't need to be solved yet. Less experienced players or smaller groups might lose focus, but the GM is happy to keep you out of following dead ends (unless you ask him to hold off on hints)

    Enjoyed my experience in this room. It's a larger space with multiple active puzzle threads, so it's great for larger groups 6+. We only had 3 but were still enjoying ourselves as we worked through those puzzles. The design of the room is very cute and fun. Some of the puzzles were hard for us to put the pieces together to arrive at the solution, but having multiple eyes on these puzzles helped us through those ruts. Our GM Maggie was very supportive and attentive of us even though it was the last game of the night.
