Mansion Murder

I had already felt this way about this location before, but now having been to another escapology, I can confidently say that this location seems to make things overly difficult. In my opinion, this is one of the better rooms at this location across all aspects: storyline, prop quality, etc.. Still could use some updates. Like other rooms at this location, there seems to be a lot of reading a heavy texts/decoding from novel like passages/photos which takes away from some of the fun.

This was a room that my party of 2 did and we were able to escape. We did have to ask for one hint, but we felt stupid after getting the hint. It was a brightly lit room too. Nothing was took dark and everything is a one use for any of the puzzles.

I give it 7/10. It was an hour room.

Stay far away. This room was so bad. I try to look for the good in rooms but the unsolicited nudges and clues, and EXTREME jumps in logic made this room miserable for us as seasoned escape artists. Our room had a puzzle that was already assembled although incorrectly so it couldn’t be used appropriately as the cypher it was supposed to be. We don’t usually have questions at the end of the room but we had so many questions and the GM couldn’t even show us how the incorrect cypher was supposed to work either.

Set design was pretty good, the puzzles were challenging but not frustratingly so. Overall a good experience.

Lots of following a storyline in this one. Not my favorite as I just like to solve puzzles but it wasn’t bad

Some brain teasers for sure! But don’t think too hard, that’s where they get you! Great room!

I had a mediocre experience and the hints didn’t make sense bec we’d often be given a hint to something we solved already. Everything seemed anticlimactic and somehow the story was lost.
