The U-BoatRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLAll of the rooms at Redfox are engaging, thoughtful, and unique! U-boat has excellent gameplay, challenging puzzles, solid storyline with puzzles seamlessly integrated, and a couple of amazing special effect moments. Highly recommended!!
The HeistRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLAll of the rooms at Red Fox are unique, challenging, and so so satisfying. They are clearly crafted with care. This is probably their most straightforward room in terms of story, but it makes up for it with a lot of unique, high production value, visual puzzling! We did the room with 6 people and were glad to have so many folks there to help us get through all the content within the time frame! I think this room would be a LOT for 2 people. Possible (?), but definitely a challenge.
Mystery of the Magician's StudyBoxarooEscape roomIRLThis is a fun room with good production value and story! Couple of fun reveals and a unique puzzle or two. Fairly streamlined gameplay, which is keeps progress feeling consistent and satisfying. I personally felt like there was a LOT of content to solve for our 4 person group - even though it’s streamlined, there’s a lot of puzzles, which is great! So get in there and get ready to solve!
The Boobie TrapTrapology BostonEscape roomIRLWhile the setting is unique and had some funny moments with props and one nice reveal, the puzzles themselves felt basic (even uninspired!) and disconnected from the story itself. Not one of my favorite rooms. When we played, there was a live actor in the first room. They did a fine job, but their role did not seem necessary and didn’t really add to the experience. I think our group prefers puzzling on our own!
PanaceaRoom Escapers BostonEscape roomIRLI’d say this room is worth a play-through, but it did not blow me away. Couple of really fun puzzles that fit the “apothecary” theme, but I honestly think there’s an opportunity to do even more unique puzzles with that theme!! The themed production design was present, but average.
The Pirate's Booty II: The Lost ShipRoom Escapers BostonEscape roomIRLSuch a fun time for our group of four! Room design is super fun and with some unique touches. Couple of unique puzzle elements I had never encountered before, which kept things fresh! I would rate the overall difficulty as medium, which allowed us to have a steady string of progress that felt really satisfying and not too easy! Definitely worth checking this room out!
The Red WirePanIQ Room - BostonEscape roomIRLThis room felt a little disappointing for us. Room designs felt a little basic - not crafted with as much care or attention to detail as others we have seen. Also, many of the puzzles had technical elements that weren’t working or required really specific instructions that weren’t intuitive. Hopefully the company can fix/update these things, as they really interrupted the flow and made solving much less satisfying.
