I was finally getting around to reviewing this room, but I'm now finding out Old City Escape Games have closed as of Oct 20th, 2025! A real shame, as we had fun with the Quest For Freedom room and really appreciated the energy and spirit of our GameMaster. Here's to hoping there will be a spiritual successor.

A good non linear room. It probably would have gone faster with more than 2 people. There were a lot of tasks to do. We enjoyed the theme being in Philadelphia.

Great room! Loved the local theme to this room. It was easy though—we didn’t need any hints.

We LOVE escape rooms that are connected to the place where they are and always try to look for one. And this room was a must for us. The theme was great, every single thing was connected, some puzzles were a little bit more challenging but we felt that with a bit more time and concentration, we could have done it without hints. Absolute pleasure and fun!

Such a good room! I think it has some great history to it and is great for those who are exploring Philly. I actually thought the puzzles were a little tricky, but was doable with two people.

Always enjoy escape rooms with themes to match the area they are in. This was probably my least favorite of the three games at Olde Escape, but it is also more suited for groups with less experience. Liked that it wasn't a totally linear game.

if you’re in Philadelphia, then, of course, there should be a revolutionary war escape room. This one delivered, although it is somewhat difficult. The sets were on the nose. Although I enjoyed their other rooms more, this is still a good one to do.
A little difficult. Non-linear. We did need a few nudges.
Loved the rooms, especially the second one. A very Colonial era vibe!
Very welcoming. Good GM who followed along making sure we were on the right track
Yes
Without spoiling too much, the second room is quite authentic
Help save America from the British! We're in Philadelphia so there better be a room like this!

Great theming & set up for making us feel we were back in 1776! Only thing I wish is that the ending had a bit more "grandiose" to it but the gameplay was fun overall.
The puzzles were definitely theme related. Sometimes the flow was a little disrupted because we didn't know where to go next at times with things but overall the gameplay experience was fun and enjoyable with some unique puzzles & spaces to explore.
The space was decorated amazingly well! It really gave the revolutionary classic vibe & the music set the tone quite well. The props fit perfectly as well for the time period.
Olde City Escape always has an amazing staff who treats everyone very warmly. Our game master was very friendly, informative, & made sure we got the help that we needed along the way.

This room was very well themed and really made me feel like I was back in 1776! My only gripe for this room is that some of the puzzles did not make sense on knowing that you were supposed to use that for the certain thing that you were trying to open, I wish that it was a little more clear, but it was overall a great room!
It flowed well, however there was some puzzles that made no sense on how we were supposed to do them

Quest was a terrific experience! This game is thorough from start to finish. The puzzles 🧩 were original, fun, and true to the theme - such a blast to play. The set design was incredible. We look forward to coming back for the other games at Olde City! Highly recommend.
Original, fun gameplay. We encountered puzzles 🧩 & mechanisms we hadn’t before.
Set design and props were very impressive and immersive.
Excellent GM!
