Untold Stories Experiences [prev. Down the Hatch]

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.

Man what a great room that lived up to its hype and expectations. Really fun story that even knowing going in had some twists and turns. The makers have definitely taken inspiration from Mollys Game and there were some like elements in the game between the two. This is a must do room if you are anywhere close. We also had one of the best GMs we have ever had. They did a perfect job keeping an eye on us and not helping when we didn’t need it but fixing things that were broken in the background before we even noticed. A+ work and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next

We did Hans revenge too and preferred that room. This room had great set design but a few of the puzzles were annoying in design and the GM didn’t seem very helpful in pushing us through when we got stuck. We narrowly escaped and the game should have probably been 10 mins longer. A few of the puzzles were just trying to find small hidden objects in a dark space, which is more annoying than fun. Some minor tweaks would definitely greatly improve the room but even so it was still very fun with a lot of twists and turns.

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.

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.

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
