Trapology has a lovely relaxing space. Some set pieces were a bit off center for the theme, but still enjoyable nonetheless and worth checking out.

This is a really fun room with a lot of puzzles. Rachel was our GM and was friendly and helpful. It was nice for teamwork, had a good variety of puzzles.

This room was so cute and so fun! We were able to complete it with two people with only a couple minutes to spare. We did not require hints to solve the puzzles, so it’s doable with just 2 people. However, I would definitely consider going with 3 or 4, mostly because we were speed-crawling around and screaming across the rooms to each other. It would be WAY easier to not do it with just 2. For us, 2 worked out nicely, plus we got some fun physical workout it, so it was a positive! It’s really up to the group and their experience level! The staff was so nice. We added this one on as a walk in after completing a different one at this establishment. I appreciate the staff’s honesty when we seemed skeptical of doing it with two people. They’re helpful and super respectful! We are looking forward to doing the rest of the rooms when we have time to return! Bonus points for not making yet another common, overdone “heist” theme. 👏🏻 love the creativity.

A humorous, dynamic nonlinear room loaded with puzzles and good theming - one of my favorite puzzles rooms to date! Lots of variety, with some very clever puzzling, great theming and a goofy, silly plotline. Not to be missed if you're visiting Beantown.

Some tricky puzzles, but all doable. Would be hard for beginners - don't be afraid to ask for hints.

Kids would find a lot to love here, but would probably need help with understanding the puzzles.

Quite a bit of ducking and crawling required. The last room appears to only be accessible via crawling and back and forth would be required by at least one or two members of the team.

Accessibility

Elevator available to reach the room. No color-based puzzles that I recall. Crawling required to access the last space of the room - there may or may not be a workaround

It's Boston, after all. They have a parking garage for the movie theater. Recommend taking the T, if possible.

I liked the whimsical twist on a heist theme; the set was great and IMHO the strongest point of the game. I thought some puzzles were questionable, though - there were at least two places where I thought improved signposting was needed and one big red herring which we spent a bunch of time pursuing.

There's two places that require crawling, and everyone will probably need to go through at least one section multiple times.

Despite being a highly rated room, this wasn’t my favorite. Maybe it’s because we only had two people and it seems better suited for larger groups, but there was a lot going on and simply not enough time to do it. Some aspects seemed a bit cryptic too. I’m fairly experienced with escape rooms but this one just left me stressed. When the time ran out, we still had a good amount of puzzle left.
