Can you escape yourself from the trap and something is amiss in this elaborate abode which is the home- a Victorian themed mystery in before an hour?

This game is just ok. The room feel like it was installed on a second thought. Some of the puzzles the connections are loose, making it hard to solve the puzzle. I find all escape rooms are fun, but I would try the other rooms in this location before his one.

A good classic room! A theme like this feels somewhat overdone but this was a great creative twist on it. I thought this room was a bit complex but I enjoyed.
Great!
Well done scenic design.
Good GM

I thought this was relatively fun - I liked the theme and had a good time, but the room was definitely a little outdated. Some of the puzzles required pretty big logic leaps. Overall, glad I didnβt but not my favorite

This remains the most convoluted escape room Iβve done, where it truly felt like you couldnβt advance through the puzzles without a lot of help. I left still not understanding the logic between how youβd get one from one thing to another. Some big reaches required. I donβt think thatβs the sign of a good room. You should feel like it all made sense after even if you were stuck. You just KNOW the feeling of a good escape room, and this is not one.
It was the most convoluted gameplay Iβve experienced at an escape room. I literally donβt see how people could advance from puzzle to puzzle without several hints. The connections were such a reach. Didnβt feel realistic.
Atmosphere was fine, for a house. Could have been much better.
Didnβt have much interaction with staff, they were fine.

To this day, this is still the worst room I have ever done in my life. I went to this location wanting to solo a room as a challenge, and this was the only one available. Right off the bat, they didn't reset the room correctly so I had access to the final lockbox. This caused a lot of confusion when I was solving a puzzle that led to accessing that. At no point did the gamemaster let me know that I was wasting my time until I straight up asked for a hint on where to use my new found information. Not to mention that this puzzle was extermely hard to decipher visually because of EXTREMELY small font. The pre-loaded hints were all garbage. Set design was pretty barebones, and the last room really didn't fit the theme in my opinion. My biggest gripe was that the final puzzle was incredibly obtuse that I legitimately would've never figured out how to operate in a million years. When I asked the gamemaster to demonstrate this for me, he wasn't even able to do it himself. I am not exaggerating when I say that you need surgical precision to operate this puzzle. Easily the worst puzzle I have ever encountered. The cherry on top is that the final lockbox locks you out for 5 minutes if you put the incorrect code after like 3 times. Like WHY would any escape room designer think this artificial time gating would be okay?? Just so many astoudingly bad design decisions and tons of quality of life annoyances along with incredibly weak theming that makes this an easy avoid.
Gamemaster was pretty nice, but there was a point where I asked for a hint and had to wait like 2 or 3 minutes to finally get one.

This is the first time I did NOT escape an escape room since the very first time I did one. But the extreme difficulty is a result of severe jumps in logic masked by an egregious number of red herrings, namely in the final room. The elements that all come together to form the final puzzle are obtuse and frustrating, and arriving at it also requires a certain level of precision that is very difficult to arrive at. And although we had a GREAT GM, the pre-loaded hints we received were confusing as well. I have to say I did not enjoy this room
Great GM, who really took time to talk us through the puzzles we missed after the fact, etc

Another bad and outdated room from this company. Very few puzzles and some of them were very big stretches as to what the answer actually was. When asked how we felt about the game we gave our honest opinion and were then basically told we were wrong and that people love this game. It was a very interesting experience, but I really would not recommend this room at all. Also I watched the owner treat the staff with disrespect numerous times, even yelling at them. I couldnβt recommend this place less.
Rude managers and owner.

Set went from ok to a bit strange. Puzzles were generally frustrating, and this room had one of my least favorite escape room puzzles ever. Escape the Room has many good rooms - this was not one of them.
