Path of the Gods

I'm going to start by saying that I LOVE Conundrum rooms. They are consistently awesome, both the Lakewood and Arvada locations. Path of the Gods is no exception. Gameplay is clever, logical, and coherent. But this is probably the only one I've actually gotten frustrated in because it's just SO DARK. I found myself carrying the heavy lantern the whole time because my very weak night-sight was no match for the puzzles in the tomb. Just a word of warning if your eyes aren't fab either!

I have played enough Egyptian themed rooms that I am often skeptical of how much more they can do with the theme. However, Path of the Gods delivers on puzzles. There is one puzzle in particular that I really liked that differentiates it for me, even though it required all my brain powers We were always doing something in the hour we were there. Multiple puzzles took advantage of the smaller space. There were also puzzles happening in parallel so divide and conquer is a good strategy. My only thing is that the wall-mounted torches and handheld flashlights promised enough light to see everything sufficiently well and it did not. I was still struggling to see and balance the flashlights (which are heavy). This does not feel great because the challenge should be mostly the puzzles and not my lack of ability to see the puzzles due to the darkness. The ending made up for the lackluster start but our game master did a fantastic job of acting that I almost forgot how bare the beginning of our experience was. A solid experience and I wish we got a chance to play Experiment C-73! Next time when we are in Colorado.

An excellent, well-flowing room. 9.0/10 would highly recommend

Great game play, lots of fun puzzles and great theme. A previous comment stated that the fog was too much but the game masters must have listened because it was a good amount of fog and not overdone. We enjoyed our research assistant Prof. J, he made the experience even better. Highly recommend giving this room a try.

Amazing escape room, I only have 2 complaints though.. The room is extremely dark. They give you flashlights to attempt to counteract it, but it was still hard to see. There is a fog machine in most of the escape room, so it gets stuffy and hard to breathe. The room is Linear so it was pretty annoying, me and my friends have developed a strategy where we worked on different puzzles at the same time, and 2/3 of us were working on something pointless. Amazing room though, I would highly recommend Also look out, it also has fake spiders and cramped spaces where you need to crawl through.

Very puzzley! If you’re a puzzle person, this one is for you! Lots of dense, multi step puzzles that require teamwork. Bring your A game! (It’s also quite dark, and the lighting they give you is a bit unwieldy. Not my favorite mechanic, but it definitely set the mood!)

While it feels like there's a lot to do at once, it was a little linear

Indiana Jones vibes done well. This room has a cinematic flair that really puts it over the top for me. The audio was standout as better than any escape room I have done on memory. The puzzles are really well integrated within the story and our GM’s passion sealed the deal on this being an awesome experience. Definitely don’t do this room if you’re afraid of the dark. 👀👀

This room was a blast! We loved the set, especially the creative lighting props. It was filled with fun and engaging puzzles, playing to multiple strengths. I liked how nonlinear this room is, with lots of information given all at once so you have to figure out direction for yourself. For me, that adds to the challenge.

Close call! This was a great, low-tech room. The puzzles in this room are numerous and time-consuming, but somewhat forgettable. The decorations were great, but could have really done with a couple of special effects that let you know you're on the right track. The pacing of the room was a little bit unusual.
