Abduction

Rating 3.5/5 - Weird narrative but impressive Rube Goldberg machine/puzzle Pros: - The Rube Goldberg machine was built into the set and was very big and with some interesting interactions -Multiple floors (with spiral staircase) and rooms to explore -Lots of tech with some mechanical puzzles and a few padlocks -Friendly and helpful GM -Set looked good Mixed feelings: -The narrative was a bit weird and convoluted Cons: --No writing pad provided, you have to use your phone and many puzzles are easier if you take notes EDIT: In response to the owner's comment about vandalism, they can easily just provide inexpensive electronic Boogie Boards which many other escape room companies are doing now. I played this solo but I wish I had some help, I'd recommend 2-4 players. March 2025 Update: My ranking of the rooms here I've played starting with my favorite: 1. Ghost Town - Rating: 4.5/5 2.

One of the first escape rooms we did. A lot of physics used in this room.

This room had one of the most elaborate machines I’ve seen! Much of the room centers on this huge Rube Goldberg mousetrap-like contraption. It sounds complicated, but the flow was very linear and made sense to us. It helps that a computer guided our interactions throughout the large multi-story room. Was just super fun to experience and play! Haven’t even seen Saw or whatever this is sorta based on. It’s not very creepy in case you are scared, but the room does start with an interesting surprise. We came, we SAW, we conquered!

This room was alright. Puzzles were a bit hit or miss for me. They were either really cool or really bad imo. Overall good theme and set, and some fun mechanics.

This was super fun! Very active for small groups. Unique contraption and funny puzzles!

This one ended up in my bottom five in over 100 rooms. Biggest complaint is a puzzle requiring entirely too much skill. Second biggest complaint is solving the exact same puzzle twice. A large contraption on the wall looked really cool but I have no idea what purpose it served throughout the room. Too much going up and down the stairs between each puzzle. Don’t recommend

Very good room with enough puzzles to keep players engaged. The attention to detail in their rooms are unmatched. The puzzles made sense with the theme of the room. Definitely give this room a try!
