Game of Stones

This was a fun one. Highly recommend! This was my second time doing it. I did it 3 years ago at their previous location, when they moved they changed it a bit and it had been so long I didn’t remember much so it was really fun to do it again with a new group.

This was a mixed bag! Some of the puzzles were fun and satisfying and some were very frustrating; for example, one puzzle had extraneous information that looked like it was part of the puzzle but was actually just flavor-and there were multiple other issues similar to this that brought down the experience. Our guide Tobie was great and the visuals were consistently on theme and enjoyable!

We added this on and the game master was awesome for last minute. It had some tricky spots. Could use a dry erase board and flashlights. Pay attention to when things are activated. This was much harder than MockBuster

Will you find the egg? Or will you just spend the hour sitting on the (knockoff) iron throne? We really enjoyed all of the GOT and DnD-esque puzzles. Everything flowed pretty well together and there were some fun puzzles. This is definitely the type of room to doublecheck you didn’t leave anything behind or feel around to see what could be moved or opened as a lot is easy to miss.

Luckily we haven’t had a bad experience with game masters at this location like others have. We’ve been here 3 times and our game masters have all been nice and helpful when needed. We were told that this is a room that they purchased and there are duplicates of it out there, one even kind of nearby. There were a lot of puzzles that were on the vague side, and one particular logic puzzle had us stumped for a while. One aspect towards the very end was something I don’t think we would have ever found with the lighting, so we had to ask for a hint to solve it. The decor in the room is great, and I didn’t need to know any game of thrones references (never seen it) so that was a relief. We had a good time overall.

I hate puzzles that you can’t give hints on, and this room had multiple ones of those. I mean ones where you have to say “just figure out how to do it “ like a jigsaw. The puzzles were far fetched and confusing where there was not a lot of sense of direction. Didn’t enjoy.

The GM was extremely unfriendly. We had her about two days prior and she was also unfriendly and upset we came in 18 mins early instead of 15 mins. We chalked it up to her having a bad day, but yesterday was the same bit. We’ve done over 50 escape rooms and really enjoyed the other two rooms here we have done (wizards and crime scene). This rooms tech didn’t work well and is also puzzle after puzzle without it feeling like a true escape room. We asked for clues and each time felt we waited about a minute or two. At one point with ten minutes left, we said we’d ask for as many clues till the end. Well we went to ask and our gm ignored us for 3 minutes. At this point we were done, we walked out with 3 minutes left and after walking out it took our GM a few mins to even notice we left. She clearly wasn’t watching our game and this experience really soured our taste.

Nice theme. Our twosome needed more clues that we usually ask for (we needed 8) which was frustrating for us and one puzzle we had to ask for multiple clues. One spot that you had to match markings for was almost impossible to find until the GM literally told us where it was.

Very cool aesthetically. I would say their challenge rating isn’t exactly accurate but we did get out and had a great time! Some of the puzzles had some faded markings which held us up a bit, but overall it was a solid game!

Some of the technology didn’t work great. We did things correct and the next step didn’t trigger without the game master triggering it from behind the scenes. Otherwise it was a fun room with a bunch of different types of puzzles.
