I loved the atmosphere in this room! Very immersive. Puzzles were fun to solve. Not as hard as the bird room but probably my favorite theme.

This is probably Mysstic’s weakest room but it’s still above average in comparison to escape rooms at other places. Loved the Stranger Things theming. It’s quite easy difficulty-wise. There was one puzzle that we overthought and had a “duh, obviously” moment after asking for a hint. Parker ran our game today. She was awesome!

As others have noted, there’s some subtle/not so subtle Stranger Things theming woven into this experience, which is really fun. We enjoyed this room and only had a couple areas of minor confusion before we reached the last area. There are some super creative elements, especially inside the house. The last room is where we really struggled and got a little frustrated. This was through no fault of our GM, who did an awesome job trying to jump in to help. Of MyssTic’s three experiences, this one was my least favorite, but it’s absolutely worth doing if you’re there for either of their other rooms.
Meeka was such a fabulous GM — we really enjoyed their helpful nudges and chatting with them between games.

We probably made this room harder than it should have been but we really struggled with a few of the puzzles, especially in the last area.

This was the final escape room at MyssTic that I hadn’t done and like the previous two, the set was absolutely incredible. Fully immersive room, with lots of opportunities to be surprised and delighted by the puzzles. There were a few puzzles that I enjoyed quite a bit less than others, but this room is really an excellent one so I have to give it a heart and a glowing review.

Really fun room. Legally distinct stranger things theme. The sets were engaging and unique. Very cinematic ending. When I played we accidentally skipped some steps towards the end but GM quickly helped us understand this error without detracting from game flow. A few times I wondered “is this really allowed?” and it was! I enjoy that out-of-the-box, boundary-pushing feeling 5/5

Great game with a unique set. Four of us escaped way faster than we wanted to, but that’s likely just luck. MyssTic really does a phenomenal job creating an immersive environment. Such a great experience.

If you like Stranger Things, you will love this room. And no basic locks in this one. A little on the easy side, but lots of fun.

This game was alright. It is definitely based on Stranger Things but it doesn’t require any prior knowledge of Stranger Things to be successful. The puzzles themselves are relatively simple but the connections in between puzzles aren’t always obvious. I felt as though the puzzles weren’t as exciting and involved as I would prefer. But I liked the way that the ending had a very clear objective and climax to the story!
This game was relatively linear and very doable with a party of 3. We didn’t always know what puzzle we were supposed to go to next (the connections weren’t always intuitive) so there were times that the gameplay lagged. The game master had to give us nudges in the right direction a couple of times because some of the flow lacked clarity.
The game was cute and made sense for the theme. None of the set dressing absolutely blew my mind but it was well-done enough to feel immersive.
The game master was kind and gave us nudges in the right direction when we needed it.
The game was different from other escape rooms I’ve done in the past BUT it was heavily based on stranger things. Considering this, I would say that the game was unique as an escape room but the plot itself was relatively familiar.
We didn’t realize it was Stranger Things themed when we booked it but the connection was apparent once in the room. Having watched Stranger Things, the room felt very on theme. That being said, it would not hinder your ability to complete the room if you haven’t seen Stranger Things. If you aren’t familiar with the show, you might just need to pay more attention to the plot so that you understand what is going on.
Medium
The puzzles themselves were relatively easy. Making connections between the puzzles and figuring out what to do next was much harder in my opinion.
There was a mix of physical locks and other means to unlock things. In my opinion, this room felt more mechanical than high tech.
3
3-4 would be an ideal amount for this game.
Spooky
Somewhere between not scary and spooky. There aren’t really any jump scares so any adult should be fine in this room. Younger participants may be intimidated by the latter half of the room.

On the condition that the kid visiting isn’t easily creeped out.

A couple of puzzles required getting closer to the ground so at least 1 or 2 members of your party should be comfortable kneeling.
As long as 1-2 people in your party can kneel and get into smaller spaces, the room should be relatively accessible for participants with mobility restrictions (noting that some areas are still narrow and/or cramped). Additionally, one puzzle utilized color and another puzzle utilized sound.
