You may enter any given moment… But you cannot leave until you finished her game! It is 19-11-1971 when Dr. Kowalski opens the door to his practice, not knowing that the rest of his life is determined this day.

This is how escape rooms should be made, and this is the quintessential example of how an attraction can elevate itself beyond its roots. That’s not to say it is perfect - every Oscar winner still has flaws, and can be appreciated by different people in different ways. Mollys Game leans into its story which is told exceptionally well through the puzzles and environments you move through. I also want to particularly highlight the sound and light design, which was simply incredible and heightened the experience with multiple senses. The story is dark and there are scary moments, so make sure you have a brave heart before you enter her game. But if you can, you absolutely should come experience it for yourself and see what Down the Hatch has created.

I can see why this is the number one ranked room. It’s as immersive as it gets, the puzzles are unique and creative, and it tells a heart wrenching story. It is very spooky, more spooky than we thought!

Difficult to describe what makes this game my personal favorite and a world's top ranking experience. Besides flawless execution and amazing decor and puzzle architecture that is mind blowing, it is a master class in story telling. It allows you to walk in and immerse yourself in a story without bashing you over the head with a "storyline". You flow through the experience in a first person perspective and Molly magically takes you through her experience. You never feel a hint coming at you, or wonder what you have to do next. You just kick back and let the story happen to you and flow through you. I swear at the end my partner had to remind me we were on a time limit because I was so engrossed in exploring Molly's world I forgot I was on a clock. Molly's Game will forever change your perception of immersive gaming experience for the better. A must for everyone's list.

Bereits der Empfang war so nett. Das Design des Eingangsbereichs war schon beeindruckend. Der Escape Raum selbst zeigte dann zurecht weshalb er seit Jahren zu den besten Räumen der Welt zählt. Das Design war genial und auch technisch war der Raum beeindruckend. Man merkt dem Raum sein Alter überhaupt nicht an. Es war extrem kurzweilig zu spielen… bei einem Rätsel haben wir dann etwas länger gebraucht, aber das spielte keine Rolle. Wir haben alles gut in der Zeit geschafft und waren dann sogar etwas enttäuscht, dass es schon vorbei war. Wir haben diesen Raum so richtig gefeiert - auch wegen einem ganz tollen Gamemaster.

I can see why this room is the number one on so many peoples lists. At his time, this room certainly set the stage for the next generation of escaperooms. The story was much more prominent, the puzzles were aazingly integrated and everything inside just felt bigger. From the momentt you step in you are teleported to another world. They want you to forget your own life for a moment and escape totally in this game and they certainly succeed in that mission. Right now you see more rooms of this grandure and idea. But this one set the stage. I would reccomend this to everyone who loves escaperooms.

The story was much more important in this room than in any room I played before

I think a lot of tech went behind this room. But everything felt very mechanical which I like

I play Molly's Game the day after I played The Dome and the two rooms form a fascinating juxtaposition when played back to back. I never had to worry about following the plot in Molly's Game - it really hit you over the head with the plot (which was, honestly, fairly guessable by the second room). The build is extensive, atmospheric and very detailed (although it got a little campy at points). Every aspect of the experience has been thought through and while not everything works, the highs are very ambitious and are incredibly impressive. Overall, I thought the puzzles were somewhat uneven, with some being somewhat prosaic and others very unique. The experience worked well with four players, I think more would be a crowd and two would feel a little lonely. Our GM was great, although the plot exposition ran a little long - but I appreciated understanding how different elements were integrated into the various puzzles.

“Molly’s Game checked all the boxes for a top-tier escape room“
“Another top room with an expansive set and some physical elements that surprised us.“
“Each escape room scene has its own character ... is one of the best games in the country...“
