The Nest [Immersive Theatre]

Not an escape room, but an experience. Loved learning and listening to the story of Josephine. Made me appreciate small moments in my own life.

🫳. Definitely unique, but a bit lack-luster imo. Had some really cool elements to it though, don't go into it expecting too much. One thing that really pissed me off, we called and specifically asked if they offered back to back booking discounts or a discount for bday. They said no they don't do it when I finally got through, (mind you they never even responded to the email. They sort of in a snooty way forward any inquiries over to their email per their recording) then after we'd paid full price for both rooms booked same day, we get an email from their system with repeat booking discounts for the rooms we'd already played... lame.

Very different. Very story based. Sets the stage, but definitely relies on the imaginations of the people playing. My wife and I agree, we are glad to have done it once, was a really intriguing experience that had us talking for an hour about deep things afterwards. BUT, we wouldn’t really want to do it again. Was overly depressing, leaving the participant in too much unresolved sadness IMHO. I knew I was going into a sad experience and was kind of excited to dive deep, but found the story beats to be overly unresolved, simplistic, and the resolution to be undercooked. Still, a compelling and unique experience that is refreshing in an overly saturated mediocre puzzle-room space.

I completed this experience with my best friend, and we absolutely loved it! The Nest definitely has elements of an escape room, which had us fully immersed and constantly exploring our surroundings. The story was captivating, and the room design was incredibly thoughtful. We appreciated the emotional depth, the attention to detail, and the balance between puzzle-solving and storytelling. It was a unique, moving experience that stood out from any other escape room we've done.

the design of everything was amazing!!!!!! natalie was an amazing guide :)

This is not an escape room, but a truly fantastic experience! Everything we experienced, from before the experience even started, felt like part of the experience. If you want a different experience, more emotional than most escape rooms, then I would 100% recommend this experience.

I loved it when I first played it, and now I help run the experience as a GM at Hatch! So thankful I get to live vicariously through this amazing show over and over again!

It was truly more of a sentimental experience than anything. Don’t try to focus on the time you have left or the puzzles while listening to the tapes, this is meant to walk you through the story of this woman’s life and it was done so beautifully and intimately. The story from the tapes is the most rewarding and memorable thing you’ll get out of this experience. It’s a bit spooky atmosphere but nothing scary and nothing will jump out at you. Honestly, I cried a lot. I needed more tissues. It was really memorable.
