Your dear friend Detective William Occam recently passed away while investigating a case about a 10-year-old missing girl, Nina. Following his death, you received a mysterious letter. Addressed to his closest friends, a single message was left behind: “There are two sides to every man, the one that you see and the one hidden behind the scenes. I can only be the real me when I go fishing on the lake. Memories I will never forget.”

A really cool concept and a highly immersive, memorable experience. Some of the puzzles were just okay, and yet the room still might be one of my all time favorites.

My partner and I had an outstanding experience at Off The Couch! We played Chapter 1 and rate it 10/10 overall. Our experience started off with a warm welcome and introduction from Ken. He made us feel welcome and excited for the game. Our game was run by Edzel, who did a great job during the game (all the technology seemed to work flawlessly), and gave us a fun and through debrief at the end. The whole game was so thoughtfully designed and executed from start to finish. It was challenging, exciting, fun, and mysterious! The technology worked perfectly as well. We are so excited for the remaining chapters! We hope we'll see Ken and Edzel when we come back for chapter 2!

If you’re a fan of escape rooms, Occam’s apartment (and likely the rest of the escape room series) is a must-do in my opinion. Conceptually, the room design has a very unique approach with multiple endings affected by the choices you make. These choices will also affect your progress which is saved across the other chapters at the location, which adds to the overall immersion.
Unique puzzles with a very unique incorporation of technology
Very immersive set design - makes it feel like real life
Great GM and the owner is a great guy

We escaped chapter 1 with 6 minutes to spare! It was the longest room we’d attempted and was a lot of fun. There were some good scares and unique aspects to the story. The game part of it felt a bit gimmicky and too long but was still fun.

This one is Chapter 1 of the story. This first chapter is more typical escape room faire. It sets up the story that you'll be following for chapters 2 and 3 as well. I highly recommend these rooms to anyone who likes escape rooms and/or interactive storytelling. We had a long conversation with the designer about these rooms and what he wants to do with them. It's absolutely fascinating. The gameplay was great, the set design was great. What really excites me about these rooms, though, is what he wants to do with them in the long run. He wants to turn the whole complex into an interactive story/immersive experience. I think something like that would be absolutely amazing. While you're waiting for your time to go into the next chapter room, you can go to the Boba shop or interact with the actors there--like a cross between a renaissance faire and an interactive experience at Comic Con. Your game will change depending on the choices that you make in it. Are you going to fight to save certain characters, or let them die? What pieces are you going to hang onto, and which pieces are you going to leave behind? How will you interact with the actors in the game? All of these things will affect how your character is treated, and what your storyline is like. I just wish I could go through it again.

The flow of the room was amazing! When presented a new room I try not to get too hung up on the aesthetics because I just want to solve puzzles but I could not help myself this time. A lot of time and attention to detail was put into this room. The staff was amazing and aided when needed.
