    A very solid room with beautiful set design, clean puzzles, and an interesting story that packs in a few surprises. No spoilers here, there’s no good reason not to play both games at this venue as they are world-class. Highly recommended.

    This is an exceptional game. I am not going to say anything about it, except that there is mature subject matter. Go in as unspoiled as you possibly can. Worth the drive from Orlando. Highest recommendation.

    This is a must-play. It would be worth going to Montreal just to play this game (but of course it is worth going to Montreal for many reasons). This is the closest I have ever been to feeling like I was in a movie. The integration of the puzzles with the scenery and the story is impeccable. You go from one jaw-dropping moment to another but always feel like it is your actions as a team that are causing the story to move forward. I can’t recommend this highly enough.

    Very interesting game with some clever mechanics. Modern design with all the puzzles fully integrated into the game environment. Excellent GM support (and the game itself is mostly language-independent). Definitely deserves its spot among the top games in Budapest.

    I don’t know what you can say about this room other than just go play it and really lean in when it starts taking unexpected turns. Go in spoiler-free if at all possible. One of the most innovative games I’ve ever seen.

    Tremendously entertaining from start to finish, although a few of the puzzles are clunky (not unsolvable, just not as clean as they could be). The game master / actor was brilliant and reacted in character to all of our bad jokes. The sets and special effects are simply spectacular. Highly recommended.

    This might be my favorite “creepy stranger locks you up” room of all time. The gamemaster (who is also the two main characters) was delightful and had just the right combination of chewing on the furniture and being hilarious. The game has an unexpected introduction and flows very smoothly throughout. It’s not very difficult but it is extremely immersive. Highly recommended.

    This is the best room I have played in the Boston area and one of my all-time top 10. I loved everything about it from the story to the set design to the interactivity and environmental surprises. This is a must play — as they tell you in the introduction, it really isn’t an escape room, it is a journey. Highly recommended.

    I will write more later but for now will just say that this is a must-play. Really delightful.

    This room was a lot of fun. There is a live actor who is present intermittently to deliver story beats. The scenery is excellent and extensive. There are a wide variety of puzzles ranging from purely mechanical to high-tech. The story is entertaining. Experienced players won’t need the whole 90 minutes, but the game goes through a number of distinct spaces and it is worth taking the time to appreciate all the details in the set instead of rushing through. Highly recommended.
