    This being our ~160th room, have to say this is one of the best we’ve ever done. The props and atmosphere are really top notch, storyline is actually present and easy to follow, GM was excellent, just an overall great experience. The only thing that keeps this from being a 100/100 is there’s a large handful of number/letter locks, BUT they do a good job of not having multiple locks in the same room with the same type of code (like having two 4 digit number locks in the same area). There are a lot of other puzzle types though, so that’s great. I give it a 97/100. Go in blind!

    Wow. Amazing room. Great theming, pacing, fun puzzles. Lots of great Stranger Things references and Easter eggs. Some of the puzzles are a little tricky, but we managed to get through the room without any hints. Top 3 favorite game of all time.

    The room is filled with clever, relatively easy/moderate puzzles, but a lot of them. We didn’t need any clues, and were able to get through it with an experienced team of two with plenty of time to spare. Everything worked flawlessly and the room flowed well from start to finish, sticking with the story and theme throughout. We left with smiles on our faces! It’s a solid set with above average technology! Well done! 👍

    The room is cute and clever, and has good, straightforward puzzles. Our team of 2 flew through it in just over 20 minutes so it’s hard to give it a heart but we enjoyed it throughly and vibed with the puzzles. It has a decent set, and we like witchy themes so it was an easy choice for us. Plus the folks we met were very friendly and enthusiasts which is always a huge plus! 🤓 The business doubles as a gaming lounge so it’s definitely worth a visit, as they had 100s of board games in stock!

    Trapped Escape Game

    Fun, creative room. I like history and maritime themes so this room was a treat. Trapped does some really interesting puzzles that I like a lot, but that includes some puzzles that have awkward failure cases. We needed the GM to come in at one point to reset a puzzle that had become unsolvable. It wasn’t the end of the world but it was immersion breaking. There was also a puzzle with a misleading clue that we gave some feedback on, and hopefully Trapped will address it. One other ding is how many similar locks are in the room. At one point there were 3 or 4 locks in play that we had to run each code through because there was no indication which lock the code was for - that design pitfall should be avoided. Otherwise, we enjoyed the room, and I consider it an above average experience, mostly for the seamless tie-in with the historical elements. If you’re not into history, this may be more of a middle tier experience for you.
