Mark as done to rate

Harvard undergraduate Ryan Smith, a promising, young student of computer science has gone missing. You are Ryan Smith’s close friends who, despairing that the police will never find Ryan, decide to take matters into your own hands to investigate. Ryan is a model student, but as his friends, you all noticed him acting a little weird lately. Together, you conclude that everything went bad for Ryan after he became a volunteer in Dr. Aheid’s mind-enhancement research-study here on campus. At first, Ryan claims to have benefited from the experiment and said he felt like his brain was on overdrive even though, during therapy, the gas also made him fall fast asleep. Eventually though, Ryan began having vivid waking nightmares and became increasingly paranoid. Unsure if it was a dream Ryan once claimed to have woken up during the experiment to Dr. Aheid and his assistant having a ferocious fight over who should get the bigger cut selling the experimental gas to their shadowy foreign client. It wasn’t long after this that he went missing. With the help of Ryan’s best friend and roommate, Huxley the computer hacker, you steal the janitor’s keys and quietly sneak into The Demented Dr. Aheid’s office to discover the truth.

Game Master was so kind and gave us an extra 5 mins of play time. He saw us struggling with the periodic table. But once the pattern was confirmed, we blew past it! We came here after fishing on the pier this morning so it was a great way to end the day.

Highly enjoyable gen 1 room, with a satisfying range of thematically fitting puzzles and a couple fun little surprises tossed in. Great staff at this location too. For more experienced gamers, I’d recommend small groups for this one (2, maybe 3 max) or else you’ll likely blow through it pretty quickly.

It was a fun room, some of the puzzles were pretty cool, but some were also not intuitive and had some red herrings. Staff was great :)

Enjoyed the room- lots of “find the key and open lock”.Got more hints than we would have liked so make sure to tell them before that you don’t want hints unless asked if that’s your vibe! Some creative puzzles but multiple ways to get to the answer. This isn’t their TERPECA nominee but we were limited on time and location due to event.

Gen 1 style room! Puzzles flowed decently well, but I think needs a modern update to some of the tech and wow factors. 3 people suggested!

Personally, I would never think that an escape room is in this location because it’s so close to the dock but I’m glad they came up on my radar. The owner of the escape room, Annette, made sure that we could book all three rooms in one day and our game masters were friendly and helpful. As for the room itself, my first impression of the room is that it feels dated. I’ll tell you though that the production value gets better. It took a while for us to pick up the clues for the puzzles but the puzzles also became progressively harder and I appreciated that. There is one puzzle that felt unnecessarily frustrating (the laser one) but with the right amount of brute force, it worked for us. I would recommend this room with a group of four. Most of the puzzles are Gen 1 lock and key but don’t let that lull you into a false sense of confidence!

Awesome room! It features a creepy/gripping storyline, real/immersive laboratory props, and some very clever/innovative puzzles! So much thought put into this experience. So much fun.

You know the doctor is up to know good when his first name is Lucifer. As you play through the spiderweb puzzle flow you uncover ever more disturbing evidence. Solid Gen-1 room, and our fast-talking GM was fabulous!

I was pleasantly surprised by this experience. There felt like there were more clues than average, but the clues were all manageable. The clues were largely mechanical in nature, but they were quite unique. The input for the clues was largely alpha numeric combinations so I would have liked some diversity. This is the locations oldest room, and the production quality was fair. The team was super nice and I’ll be looking to come back to them to do the other rooms. We completed it as a group of two. Three might be our ideal group size.

There’s a part where you need to climb through a low space which could be difficult for people with mobility impairments. However there is in alternative way in if you’re so inclined. A teammate will need to let you in.

This room is brand new and yet it feels dated. It’s a very basic room, with neither great puzzles or great atmosphere. Our GM was very friendly and enthusiastic but didn’t love the room itself. Sorry.
