    Mollys Game was reflective of it’s reputation. Completed with 5 minutes to spare with 2 people. A lot of these reviews cover the game in depth already so I’ll try and be brief. The set design was next level and the best we have ever seen. The GM told us the owner spent 22 months working 80 hour weeks to build it, and I didn’t doubt that for a minute. We saw things here we haven’t seen in any other escape room. The story was the best we have seen in an escape room, but with the stress of solving it in the moment we missed a lot of details. You should ask the GM for a story walk through at the end, it made the experience even better for us. Like some other posters we found a few of the puzzles repetitive and long. While they were unique some took 10-15 minutes of doing the same thing over and over again. None of the puzzles stood out as super unique or amazing but they were solid nonetheless. However you come to this room for the decor and the story the puzzles take second stage. Overall we loved this room, though it was a bit scary for our taste, but we shy away from the horror. We took great comfort knowing there were no live actors in the game. I can’t wait them to open their next room which apparently is approaching completion.

    Did this as a team of 2 and escaped with 3 seconds remaining. We don’t normally do scary rooms, while there is no live actor the GM is in the room in certain parts with you and puts on a show so couple of jump scares in there. The room itself is fairly spooky and had us on our nerves the whole time. Tons of fun puzzles and really well built out decor. Even being scared most of the time we really liked this room. Our GM was great despite scaring us a couple of times. Really well done story that was easy to follow. Everything worked as expected though we did need a hint or two to move us along. It was a challenging room with 2 people and it’s a big space with a lot of moving back and forth. Not for people with mobility issues. Highly recommended even if you don’t like the scary stuff.

    This was the first of 2 rooms that we did at this location. The second was the revolt. Both rooms were great but we preferred this one. The puzzles were fun but nothing felt hard or required much thought. We felt it was an easier room than most. Not that it lacked puzzles, they were just more intuitive. The room design and puzzles themselves were top notch and a lot of fun. We found a bunch of things we hadn’t seen before in this room. Overall a really great time with a fun build out.

    Overall a great room and I can see why it makes the top list every year. In 2025 it’s starting to feel a little dated but it remains fairly innovative. The set design is top notch and we felt transported to the places we visited. There was a lot of voiceover story which was nice to drive the story but felt a bit long winded. We did feel that the room was lacking in puzzles however which is the reason we didn’t rate it as a loved it. Finishing an 80 minute room in 60 minutes left us feeling like there should have been another area, and the game felt like it should to fit better as well. The rooms otherwise could have used another puzzle or two per room as we felt each one went very fast. The room does contain climbing and crawling. We also felt the room was a little too GM/actor driven, with interaction in the actor required to do certain puzzles

    This was our favorite room of the 4 we did at this location. It felt a bit better thought out and the puzzles were a bit more challenging. We still felt like the room went a little too fast with a 41 minute solve time and the puzzles could have been a bit tricker but overall had a lot of fun in the room. The side quest adds some more fun to it as well.

    Fun room, the decor was great. The intro felt a little weak and the very first part of the room felt really phoned in. The puzzles in the first half were more traditional escape room, while in the second half a lot more game/arcade style.

    This was our favorite escape room ever. The decor was stunning, the plot fantastic, the hint system was well thought out and a part of the game. Puzzles were challenging but not impossible. The size and scope of the room was insane, absolutely wonderful. Cannot recommend enough do this room.

    This room was super fun! We played as a team of two and managed to escape with just 10 minutes to spare. There were two puzzles that we needed a hint for. The first one was poor design; we couldn’t have done it without a hint. The second one was a bit silly and on us because we thought we had finished a puzzle and didn’t. The decor was great, and the gameplay was really enjoyable. It had a really cool Harry Potter vibe, with each room having its own unique feel. I also thought the way they started the game was a lot of fun, with separating the teams.

    Room was fairly fun they had some interesting puzzles but it felt really fast. None of the puzzles were very challenging and didn’t require much thinking, more of following directions. The theming was pretty good but it looked like they got bored and stopped 80% of the way through, could really use a bit more design in the room for the immersion. If you are gonna copy GOT you could also pump in some of the music too.
