So the room would be really cool … if it was working. Apparently when they were bought out the new people can’t figure out how to make the tech work? so you walk in and you have access to all of the rooms immediately. No story, no plot line, it ruined it. Don’t do it till they fix the room. A lot of potential but sucks right now and they don’t even warn you.

This was a charming room. The decor was very thematic. A couple great puzzles and ciphers. One was broken unfortunately but the GM was really great and super friendly.

Gameplay

Had some classic puzzle elements which was fun. It had some interesting things to figure out. Enjoyed it.

Atmosphere

Loved the atmosphere. It was very thematic and had some really cool elements. Unfortunately it looks like it’s been through the wringer. Probably quite a few rough teams went through it. But still a very well-designed room.

Customer service

GM was great! So friendly and helpful especially when a puzzle didn’t work.

Recommend this room. Great theming and some really rewarding puzzles. A couple were pretty challenging and we needed hints. Plenty to do for 4 people. Would love to go back and try some of their other rooms. Beautiful space and creative gameplay.

Most of the staff were very nice. There was one girl who was a little rude, but we really didn't have to see her much. We've been here a few times and she seemed new. She may have just been overwhelmed so we tried not to be offended by her lack of helpfulness.

Overall the game was expensive for what it was but the company was pretty good overall not sure if we would be back since this was their hardest room and if not for one clue we would have gotten out in less than 30 minutes

Escape room live in alexandria has the same kind of edgar allen poe theme and is done a little better in my opinion and is significantly cheaper

Set the record in like 2021 and I think we still hold it! This was a nice looking set, pretty on theme. Puzzles flowed well and were simple enough for us at least

This game was awesome! Our favorite one at this location. Incredible environment, story, and gameplay. We feared the Morse code puzzle but it was great. I guess we think similarly to the designers. Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed.

Gameplay

It was ‘novel.’ Pardon my pun. It was a very straightforward experience from puzzle to puzzle. There was only one piece that tripped us up. Mostly because it was a solution I have never seen in an escape room.
