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.
