    Molly's Game

    Difficult to describe what makes this game my personal favorite and a world's top ranking experience. Besides flawless execution and amazing decor and puzzle architecture that is mind blowing, it is a master class in story telling. It allows you to walk in and immerse yourself in a story without bashing you over the head with a "storyline". You flow through the experience in a first person perspective and Molly magically takes you through her experience. You never feel a hint coming at you, or wonder what you have to do next. You just kick back and let the story happen to you and flow through you. I swear at the end my partner had to remind me we were on a time limit because I was so engrossed in exploring Molly's world I forgot I was on a clock. Molly's Game will forever change your perception of immersive gaming experience for the better. A must for everyone's list.

    This game is absolutley mind blowing. The size and scope of the set is unprecedented. When I say set - I mean set. To call this an escape room would be a joke. The detail and build quality is par none. And it is MASSIVE. The story is elaborate and movie-length. The actors are very well incorporated and perform their roles expertly. There is one point in the game early one with a scene involving an actor that was literally jaw dropping. The timing and choreography of the actors and all their placement to ensure the game moves forward is so well thought out. The game starts before you even 'arrive' at the chapel. It is a technique of building up the game experience I've only seen so far in a couple of games but definitely saw first in Athens. There is no interaction with GMs or staff perse, the game begins as soon as you enter the building. It really gives you a feeling of immersion and allows you to get into the game without your mind being pulled out by the real world. This game is #*$&$ing scary as @&$! We chose the highest level of fright which was more than we could handle - it slowed us down and we were short a bit to finish the game - but worth it !!! I wish we had made it to the final set though because it is an incredible finale. Anyways, worth the fear factor. They have the most creative ways to build tension and few games have been nearly as scary since playing that game. We were three experienced players and I would say it was tough. Your mind isn't thinking clearly when you are stressed and you will have less team to support you in parts which is an added stress. The puzzles are not terribly challenging which is appropriate for the scare level but I will say the puzzles at the end were harder for us so save some energy for the final lap! It's a long game try to keep track of your time and pace your progress. If you don't like scary games go to the bathroom first but you must try it !!!!

    Very good game build. The decor was very well done and was of high quality. The puzzles were very unique and allowed a group to separate and solve different puzzles simultaneously which is great for teams of 4 or more. The hint system is well done with minimal interaction from the game master. There was one "red herring" prop that I spent time on that wasn't necessary otherwise the flow of the puzzles was quite logical. Highly recommend.

    This game is an award winner and honestly well-deserved. The narration was very funny, the puzzles plentiful and very unique (and we have played many games by now ). The set design was attractive and of good quality, the tech in all the puzzles worked seamlessly and the volume of puzzles allowed us to divide and play in parallel. This is a great game to play with younger gamers and families though experienced gamers will appreciate the creativity in the puzzles.

    It was my first game experience. An earlier escape game in the original format of lock and key, seek and find objecrs, with some logic puzzles in the second half. A good game for beginner players.

    This is a medium difficulty game that can easily be played by 3 to 4 people. A nice feature of this game is that it can be played head-to-head (identical game played simultaneously with a competing team for fastest gameplay).
