So fun! One of the best escape rooms we’ve done! We all loved the science experiment component.

There was a time when laboratory-themed escape rooms were pretty common and we have certainly done our fair share, but I haven’t come across too many in the last few years. However, this was quite the stand out, and definitely the company's best room. The puzzles are more than just lab-based, they have a real science flavor to them. (We found out later that one of the owners/game designers is a scientist & you can tell that the game is a labor of love and they put a lot of attention to detail!) The game alternates between linear and nonlinear. The set starts out just ok, but the lab itself looks great! Everything has a nice flow and most importantly, you’re definitely going to have a lot of fun with this room. Highly recommended.

This was my first ever escape room. I would absolutely recommend to others. I wanted a challenging one. It was so exciting and fun figuring out all the clues and completing everything with my friends. And the couple running the room was so nice and explained everything well.

This is the second room we have done at Hidden Gems and we very much enjoyed it. There are some different elements that I have not seen before and everything was really on theme. We did get caught up by a couple of items in the room that actually weren’t clues but overall the game flowed well. We will be back to complete the third room.

Definitely some well thought out clues and puzzles that went with the theme.

This was an original room designed by the owner. I liked that there there were not a lot of physical locks in the room, rather other ways to get clues….such as a lab equipment, and things that moved and opened. I also really that we got to talk to the owner that designed it. Great experience!

It flowed very well.

Having now played all of the rooms at Hidden Gems, I can say that Elixir inc. is the most challenging room they have. Everything flowed well and if we hadn’t gotten caught up by overlooking one thing it would’ve been a seamless experience. I look forward to seeing what they can do with their next room!

From the moment I stepped in the room I knew it was going to be good! Super immersive and great puzzles!
Customer service
The GM was fantastic! It’s a family run business and it definitely feels like it! Right when I walked in I felt welcomed.

Yes
Yes! To not give too much away one of the puzzles was so neat! I’m still thinking of it because it was so interesting.
Story
The room is lab/science themed. Almost all the puzzles has something to do with science in one way or another. Many cool puzzles that I haven’t seen anywhere else!
Difficulty
Hard
Elixir is their hardest room so far. Someone of the puzzles were tricky but it was quite manageable. It was a fun challenge!

It wasn’t very physically challenging. No crawling and not much bending down. You do walk around but that’s to be expected!
