Mystery At Innsmouth: An Official Arkham Horror Escape Room

A cool room. Nothing extraordinary, but the vibes were cool, and the puzzles all felt like they contributed to the story. I appreciated that it was non-linear, meaning that multiple people could work on different puzzles at the same time. All three members of my group were busy 100% of the time, which I appreciated. Afterwards, they let us go back and recap to one another what we had been working on while the others were occupied.

The game itself was really cool and I enjoyed! There were just a few things that threw it off for me, one being that we were told the rules twice. The first time by the gamemaster, and the second time by a radio. I was a little thrown off by that at the beginning, but after that I had a really enjoyable time! It looked really cool, and the puzzles were rather unique!

I’d say this was slightly more difficult than we had thought- we asked about 3 clues and beat the game just in time. On a scale level, I’d rank it more challenging than Dive to Atlantis. Partially because this game requires you to multi task and solve several things at once- so teamwork is particularly important- avoid everyone crowding one puzzle at the same time. The setting was spooky but the theme was slightly elusive for us. We didn’t quite get the folklore /hotel theme. But we enjoyed the game nonetheless!

Good

This room is very parallel but relatively short, smaller groups will have plenty to do, larger groups will probably not unless they’re beginners. There were a couple puzzles we really enjoyed but for the most part they were fairly simple. For a room with this theme we felt the atmosphere and immersion were a letdown throughout the experience, particularly towards the end.

Lovely usage of tech and keys. Mostly nonlinear and some of the puzzles have ratings so if you go with people who are newer you can split in easier ways.

It was a nice and easy room. AH story and easter eggs were lovely — hi my desr Cthulhu! The game was very easy as all connected objects are marked by the same symbols.

Amazing sets. A good variety of puzzles w/ some unique ones in there. And eldritch (non-scary) horror is always fun. The best part of this room is that there are a variety of different concurrent puzzles, and they've done a great job of clearly linking objects to their puzzle. If you have a larger group (>5), this is a great pick.

Cool start to a room. The puzzles didn’t flow very well for us.
