The Timekeeper's Trapped!

Overall a decent room with an unusual theme. This felt pretty puzzle-heavy, certainly the most of the games at Escape Factor.

Interesting puzzles, very fun. Would recommend for puzzle fans.

Nice room. I’d definitely recommend. Pretty unique puzzles and the story and set fit together well. My main complaint would be that a lot of the locks are the same type so when you solve a puzzle it’s not necessarily obvious which lock that corresponds to. Also Jay was a very friendly game master. She was on top of giving us nudges.

I loved this room. It was spacious with tons of interesting puzzles to work on. The puzzles were all on theme and some were massive! This was definitely a harder room, so I wouldn’t do this one unless you have experience.

The Timekeeper's Trap: Locked in the den of a crazy clockmaker, tick-tock will we be able to unlock the lock? Is time on our side? Pros: The owner and game master was a delightful individual who thoroughly made us feel welcome and excited to play. He stayed in the room with us and carried us through troubled times or whenever we found ourselves at a loss. The room had a unique theme and the set design was clearly tied to this theme. Many of the puzzles were quite clever and we appreciated their connection to the story. Cons: There were so many clock-related puzzles that our brains are still numb from the temporal experience. We had puzzle overload all around. We thought we did fairly well in progressing through the many, MANY puzzles, until time ran out and we were told how many more we had to go. If it were not for the helpful hints of the game master we probably would not have progressed as far as we did since most of the puzzles were overly complicated and convoluted, requiring some translation in order to solve them. Overall we think we liked it but we are not entirely sure since our thinking tool kind of shut down midway through this game. So we will get back to you on that one when it is up and running again.

Make time for this entirely clocks-based room! This room had pretty much every time-related puzzle you could think of, and each one was presented in very different and clever ways. Watch out if you don’t like math or reading time, but for me, I completely clicked-clocked with these puzzles. Biggest issue was there are a lot of locks, and it isn’t always clear what goes where. It’s also gonna be tough for smaller groups, but it’s very doable, especially if you gel with math puzzles. If you like how that sounds, give an hour hand and clock in!

5/5. Love escape factors rooms

Great room! The setting was cool, and the puzzles had a nice variety and were challenging but not frustrating. There was one part where we got a bit lucky, but hey a win is a win! The staff once again was friendly and welcoming, and as a result we kept coming back for more!

Really cool room. Tons of puzzles that make sense. It was refreshing to see some number/math puzzles that I used to love in school but never really see in escape rooms. Definitely got our brains going. Also, considering the theme is a Timekeeper make sure you know how to tell time…. We were embarrassingly bad at it.
