Witch's HollowStained Hourglass Escapes LLC.Escape roomIRLWe have done dozens of escape rooms. This one was a surprisingly fresh experience for us. Thoughtful puzzles with “ohhhhh!” And “aha!” moments and excellent theming and technical effects. Really fantastic, engaging game master (thank you MJ!)
The Benefactor's TestPayDay EscapeEscape roomIRLA well thought out room with good theming and moderate use of technology. Some creative puzzles and unique interactions. The clue-giving method was unique and fun, although a couple of times it made us feel we were at risk of not escaping on time when we actually were ahead of schedule. The staff was fantastically friendly and enthusiastic and we will definitely return to see their next room when it opens! Would rate the difficulty as medium - our group of 4 seasoned escapers exited in 38/60 minutes with 0 clues. The flow was pretty tight, but still not quite linear so multiple people could occasionally work on different things at the same time. No teamwork is needed so this is suitable even for “groups” of 1.
The Secrets of the ToymakerEscape AugustaEscape roomIRLVery friendly and helpful staff and neat room with awesome theming and some fun puzzles. A bit challenging for those with poor reading/low-light eyesight, which detracted from the overall experience, but would definitely try their other rooms but bring my reading glasses and eschew the no flashlights rule for those metallic tumbler locks.
