Elevator to HellBrainXcape Escape Room NYCEscape roomIRLMade great use of a small space packed with clues and puzzles. However, like other BrainXcape rooms (especially Haunted Hotel), many of the puzzles required giant leaps in logic. Even with 5 experienced escape roomers (the max capacity), we still weren’t able to escape. The puzzles also flowed nearly linearly, so 3-4 of us were often just standing in the room watching 1-2 of us work on a puzzle. Lastly, the small room was almost unbearably hot and we all walked out of it absolutely drenched in sweat. Ventilation absolutely needs to be improved in the room. BrainXcape rooms all seem to be strong with set design and atmosphere, but their puzzles all need to be reconfigured to be more logical.
