Moonshine Madness

We were a party of 2 and escaped in 48 min. 7/10 overall for the experience, puzzles, room design, and immersion. 6.5/10 for difficulty of puzzles. It felt like a good combination of puzzles and riddles, and they all made sense and flowed well to the story. It's a pretty linear progression (we needed to solve one puzzle in order to unlock another puzzle), so I don't think doing this in a bigger party would've helped speed things up too much. There were a good number of locks, but it was clear which "combination" went to which lock because they logically tied together. I've done escape rooms where there were a lot of random locks and combinations, and this room was not like that at all. The game master was very nice and attentive, but not too intrusive. He messaged us when we were getting stuck but on the right track or when we did solve the puzzle but getting confused by the props. Overall, had a great experience, and would love to return to try their harder rooms (Houdini and Pirates).

The room was just good not great but good. puzzles are ehh but the room is definitely not as hard as they say it is

This room felt very standard. Nothing particularly special, kinda on the easy side but still fun. The worst thing about this was that it’s a public room, and two people bought on with us (WHY anyone does this I don’t get) so that definitely cramped our style LOL

Enjoyable! Moved quickly through the first half, and a few novel puzzles!

This isn't one of the most unique/fun rooms I've done, but it was cool. Our game master added some flair to the experience, but will I remember this room when my bones grow brittle? Probably not.

I feel like I can copy and paste my reviews from previous speakeasy/bar escape rooms. You enter the speakeasy, you mix the drinks, you exit feeling mostly satisfied. You won’t remember this room in a month but it passes enough bars. There’s few master locks, the puzzles make enough sense, the place is well kept. Frankly the most I remember is the lobby is really nice- if that’s a good or bad thing, you decide.

Some of the puzzles were unprepared for use, and there was a physical bottleneck in which there were three puzzles towards the end. However, the room is well themed, and we had a good time.

I was excited about this room as it had a different theme and being from the South where Moonshine has a strong presence, I thought why not? 😂 It is a linear room and really not a ton of space so I would only play with a max of 4. I appreciated a mix of both mechanical and high tech in the room. It had a few cool puzzles I have seen before but there was a different twist on a couple that were new. Definitely recommend and feel it’s one of the better rooms I’ve personally done in NYC. Also, I like PanIQ and have played it in ATL and NYC.

Pretty cool puzzles, probably my favorite ones of the 3 we did that day.

It took us a long time to get started, but once we started solving a few puzzles, the difficulty ramped down to normal, and the room started to flow well. I've yet to play a speakeasy themed room that blew me away, but this was still good fun and worth playing if you have the time. The puzzles are solid, and I didn't have any major gripes overall.
