The attention to the story makes this room amazing. The puzzles are a great mix of styles and the video integration was legit scary. It is a must do.

Ever since the former curator disappeared, his beloved doll exhibit has been terrorized by a ghost. Museum patrons are understandably turned off by this, and it's bad for business. Can you brave the haunting and bring an end to the madness?

Nightmare at the Museum is a wonderful experience all around! An immersive set, some really good story elements that heightened the tension, and very intuitive puzzles that fit within the world Puzzleworks had created. Thanks Nico for an incredible game!
Puzzles were well integrated into the space and had a very intuitive completion order. That’s not to say they were easy, but the path to solving was clear for each.
Very immersive and each space was used in multiple different ways that each felt unique. I appreciate that the set design was complementary to the puzzles and didn’t distract from the tasks at hand.
Nico was super welcoming and we had a great conversation post-room!
It was very clear what we were doing and what was happening as we solved puzzles. Lots of little details around the room to soak in over the course of the game.

There were a few combination/key locks, but the majority of the game was more high tech.

Groups larger than 4 might feel cramped.

Definitely some tense moments and some jumpscares!

The puzzles were all within easy reach, but for theme and intensity, I would say 13+.

The game takes place in a pretty tight space and requires traversing through some tight doorways.

The location is a little bit hidden inside the building but there were plenty of signs directing you to the right place.

So exciting and wonderful puzzles and production design! Dripping with atmosphere and intrigue. One of my all time favorites!
Whoooa!! This was so creepy and innovative! And so many GREAT puzzles!
One of the best ever, in this regard! Spooky and creative, and delightfully pagan. The perfect room for our Beltane fun!
Envy is awesome!

Great story, with intriguing and exciting reveals. Actually really enjoyed the story here, way more than the normal passable fare of escape rooms stories.

Some great jumpscares and creepy props and whatnot. Some moments might be a bit much for more skittish players.

There’s a small doorway you gotta crouch through, and frequently, so unlikely you could do this room with mobility disabilities.

Sooo fun and spooky! Loved the creepy atmosphere, and the set design was incredibly impressive. The puzzles were very well intigrated into the atmosphere and storyline. If you love spooky vibes, haunts, and the metaphysical, you will love this room!!
Incredible!! It flowed so well. Loved the creepy atmosphere that tied in so well with the puzzle designs.
Very spooky and fun. Even though there weren't any live actors, the atmosphere has enough of a scare factor to make your imagination fill in the blanks.
Staff is absolutely lovely!
Yes
One puzzle involves an old-timey rotary phone! Find the phone number and see what happens :) Also loved the incorporation of a model house that was used for a few different puzzles. Also! One puzzle in particular had really fun/interesting mechanics to it (a clue is the beginning of a familiar childhood nursery rhyme, solving the puzzle involves another stanza, and *completing* the puzzle reveals the ending of it...SUPER cool to experience!
A museum is haunted by the spirit/s of the curator's daughter/s. The puzzles tie in so well with the storyline.
Medium
I wouldn't call this hard, but also not 'too'-too easy. A nice middle ground.
Mechanical
Lots of tactile mechanics looking for physical objects to then use to solve puzzles. It works so well with how the room flows.

Can easily be done with two. If you're new to escape rooms, three to four would be great, too.
Spooky
Atmospherically spooky. No live actors, so there won't be any 'human' jump scares. Think more 'jack-in-the-box' when it comes to being startled/spooked.

Easy enough to reach for puzzle mechanics, but it'd be on the more advanced end that would be better for teens than younger kids if you wanted to bring minors.
No
You can tell this room is very, very well maintained.

Normal amount of movement for an escape room.
There are some color-involved puzzles, some audio puzzles, and some suspended obsticles when going from one section to another (noting for those with mobility issues).
Yes
Inside of a big building with many other attractions/businesses, but does have clear signage.
Easy
Plenty of free street parking and lot options.

Yeah this is what escape rooms are all about. Fun puzzles. Great atmosphere. Moments that tie into a story. I don’t like to think of myself as someone who scares easily, but there is one creative moment in particular that got even my heart rate going a little faster. Super fun!

Loved the jump scares and all the different puzzles and for the most part we eventually were able to figure out what we were supposed to be doing although took too long I think for some of the puzzles. Tylan was amazing as always with the clues, answering questions and knowing just what we needed.
Tylan is always amazing, willing to answer any questions and is perfect on clues and knowing what’s needed.

We loved this room. Nicely creepy with some fun jump scares. Very well designed room with a great back story. Lots of good puzzles, some very challenging, and several unique puzzles. We had a group of four experienced players and got out with just a few minutes left, so game play was well planned. Highly recomended!
