Escape the Mystic Manor Blue [prev. The Eventide Departure]

My 10 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this room. The puzzles flowed together well, and some were unlike other puzzles we'd done before. There was an issue with the "clue walkie talkie" when we did the room and that did take a little bit away from the experience (it kept changing to channels where other topics were being discussed) as we'd hear a lot of background noice and sometimes the GM had to come in and adjust it, but this made it so that we asked for very few clues and felt better about our escape. The GM did give us about 3 extra minutes to finish the last puzzle but we still felt very proud of our escape.

Solid escape room. Not the most challenging room we have been in but still had unique puzzles to solve.

We really enjoyed this one! Overall it was not very difficult, but still interesting. We took no hints and hit 2nd place of all time.

While the room was on the easier side, still really enjoyed it. The theming was well done and immersive. It had some great reveal moments. Puzzles had a great flow to them. Just when you thought you were stuck on something, you'd get one more detail from the other area. Also some very unique non-lock-based puzzles.

Room was fun! The puzzles fit the theme and made sense. A few puzzles/triggers were difficult to identify but overall was enjoyable. Several new puzzle types we hadn’t experienced before. Highly recommend! Is a little spookier than I expected but nothing “scary”.

More challenging than the “Puppeteer” room at this location. Immersive, well-designed room that emphasizes puzzle-solving more than high-tech props (which was the case for the other room, too). Just a different feel than some of the rooms we’ve done that are number-lock heavy. I’d give it a solid A.

A classic, well-rounded game

Points for immersivity! Fun room though there were some flow issues where it wasn’t clear where the clues/hints were and how they were incorporated into what puzzle.
