The Apartment

This escape room was very much a basic old school room. There was no clear direction or path to the end, simply finding all keys to get out but it was difficult to figure out what clues helped with which puzzles which became a little frustrating. Overall an okay escape room

This room definitely nailed the set design in terms of making you think you were in a run-of-the-mill (Boston) apartment. The puzzles I found to be a bit on the tedious side and it required going back and forth from Point A to Point B (and C, D, etc.) a lot [I’m speaking figuratively — those Points are not actually physical parts of the room design!]. There were some things that didn’t quite add up or make sense intuitively (or logically) and it required some leaps in logic to understand and solve. I think that with some improvements on UX, this room has the potential to be better.

So I will add a disclaimer to this review, noting that this was one of my first escape rooms and I did this eight years ago in 2016. At the time, it was great. Some fun clues, and a good group of people to work with. I’m not sure if it would hold up now, seems very typical. It’s still worth doing as an introductory escape room I think for people.

We enjoyed this room. A few unique puzzles. Overall, a good time.

Worst escape room experience we’ve ever had. Entire place is run down, dirty, and broken. GMs do not respond to requests for clues in a timely fashion or at all. Room noise from other rooms is distracting. Overall negative. Terrible.

Did not like it. The whole space felt dirty, didn’t want to touch anything.
