Some escape rooms impress. Some challenge. And then there are the rare few that transcend... games that don’t just test your logic but grip your emotions, that don’t just immerse you but make you care. This was my 100th escape room, a milestone I wanted to mark with something exceptional, and what I found here was beyond.
The atmosphere, immersion, and puzzles were intricate, seamless, and alive. The acting was at a level rarely seen in escape rooms... so committed it felt more like stepping into a film.
But what I didn’t anticipate, what I couldn’t have anticipated, was the emotional gravity of it all. By the end, I’ll admit it, I was in tears.
We flew to Houston just for this, endured numerous delays on our way, and yet, standing there in the final moments of the game, it was worth every second.
There are great escape rooms, and then there are the ones that shift what is possible. This was the latter, and it was breathtaking.
