    Subway Escape

    Subway Escape

    Escape Room Pittsburgh

    • Escape room
    • IRL
    While not the most challenging room I’ve been in, the full immersion aspect is on point, and I had already left comments complementing Escape Room Pittsburghs aesthetic designs for Diamond Heist and Carnegie’s Millions. Subway Escape goes above and beyond from the well produced introduction video to a special effect that I haven’t seen in an escape room before, and that as a theatre tech absolutely love since I didn’t expect the effect and had to look around a bit to see the mechanism that did it. For some it’ll be like magic. In terms of puzzles, as mentioned, not the hardest to solve but enough to allow some non linear team work and parallel problem solving but some added difficulty keeping track of past things seen and what has and hasn’t been used. There were a couple glitches to the room that the game master noted, and who was attentively enough to recognize that we had triggered the solution to one but have us a nudge to find what didn’t open like it should have. Sounds like the company is always doing some internal review to keep the rooms working well. Can’t wait to be back in Pittsburgh and be able to try the last of their rooms!

    Large spacious room that did a great job of tying into a local theme and the aesthetics a repurposed bank vault. Game master was attentive and gave a couple welcomed nudges. Really appreciated some of the mechanisms used including almost no key/combination locks so puzzles were a bit more intellectual puzzle solving.

    Nice mix of team based physical puzzles with more subtle detail orientated puzzles. Couple problems really needed some lateral thinking to figure out. The game was also well balanced with some time consuming puzzles that had a great mix of fun with a hint of frustration. None of the time taking problems were not offensive.

    My second room at Break Out Charleston and they continue to demonstrate a great job of making some challenging puzzle pieces well also paying attention to the details in the aesthetics. Creepy sounds and decorations with a few spooky moments with the right puzzle solution. Few puzzles are a bit more physical but nothing too difficult.

    Felt like a well designed room. Second room/site I’ve done of the Escape Room Pittsburgh and both of the rooms I’ve done with them so far seem to do a great job of some local callouts that you don’t get to see as much in chain escape room companies. In terms of the puzzle, nice semi linear puzzle with a nice variety of puzzle types including a couple red herrings (with bonus points to details that acknowledge as much in a way) found it easy for my team of four to rotate around a bit working as partners helping keep track of the details that while not always needed to solve a puzzle, can make it a bit easier to solve and helped us finish the room without any hints.

    Good room for smaller, less experienced teams. Larger or experienced teams won’t find this a big challenge but it doesn’t aim for them. I was with my family (8 total) with most of the team having only done an escape room or two a piece and 3 who were doing an escape room for the first time. Kidnapped felt well made but no real head scratcher puzzles especially if you’ve done a few escape rooms. Having done a couple dozen rooms myself and seen a lot of the puzzle styles before so I tried to step back a little to be a bit of a in room game op. No actual hints need and we solved it very quickly.

    Great facility with some wonderful people however game itself had a few problems with gameplay and mechanisms that left our team with an anti-climatic end. Some easy things to fix (and hope they will after talking with game master) but couple puzzles components could be a real challenge to catch for anyone with color blindness

    Room was a bit more abstract than many of the rooms I’ve done, but it worked well. Some well constructed puzzles and enjoyed it quite a bit. Only issue we had was one of the locks wasn’t set right and one of our less experienced team members assumed that it was set up that way and didn’t wait until we found the correct key

    As a theatre techie at heart, the theme was a powerful draw for the room, but the game itself was very underwhelming. Much of the game felt very linear and may not be the best for more than small groups and more than a couple puzzles that had little if any feedback to know that an element was finished and new components unlocked.
