Quest For The Throne

A little lock heavy for my liking. But overall a very fun room with diverse puzzles

Quest for the Throne was the first room we tackled at Expedition Escape, and we were so impressed that we’ve already been back—and plan to return again! Even though this is one of their older rooms and most of the puzzles are first-generation (primarily lock-and-key style), it’s still a highly entertaining and well-designed experience. We found this room to be the perfect level of challenging, especially for our team of two with good escape room experience. It was tough but fair, requiring us to use ~2 hints and leaving us with just seconds to spare at the end. That said, we’d probably recommend doing this with more than two people, as it’s quite challenging and having a larger team would make the experience more manageable. The only downside we encountered was one particular puzzle that was mechanically frustrating. We knew exactly what to do, but executing it was tricky due to a mechanical issue. Thankfully, that didn’t detract too much from the overall experience. If you’re up for a solid challenge with classic-style puzzles, Quest for the Throne is a fantastic choice. It’s engaging, satisfying to solve, and an excellent introduction to the quality you can expect from Expedition Escape. Highly recommend this room and location for escape room enthusiasts.

Really fun game and theme.

So far my all-time favorite game - so many cool puzzles and the props were very lifelike

Quest for the Throne is a solid game with a variety of creative puzzles. The set is not as immersive as some of the other games at this location, but is still high quality. There are a couple of puzzles that could probably be tweaked a bit to lower confusion. Some things were difficult just because they were confusing, instead of because of complex design elements or dynamics, and I think that impacted our experience in this room. I played this game in a team of two on the same day I played Aunt Edna’s, Blind Tiger, & Lucky Dice. If I played it at another location, it could very well be the stand-out favorite, but because Expedition Escape has such a fantastic array of games, I would actually have to say it was my least favorite of the day. I don’t think this game reflects Skylar & Marisa’s brilliancy as much as it should or as much as the others do. Perhaps it is the theming (medieval escape rooms are a bit tired), so I hope they consider revamping or retiring it next to build something new. I would still recommend this room to anyone visiting! Thank you to Jack, our guide, for chatting with us about the games!

We loved this room and the communication style puzzles! We’ve done 3 rooms at Expedition Escape, and this was the most challenging with the “thinkiest” puzzles. Yay a lil math!

Likes this room. Did it once and did not finish first time. Went back a few years later and redid it and finished. Great time.

Sort of an “old school” style escape room but still a well designed one. We narrowly escaped but at no point were we just sitting in frustration, we were always moving and engaged. Very well themed and interesting puzzles involved.
