Nothing strange or mysterious could happen in this drab corporate grayscape. No ancient power, no portal to another realm, and certainly no fantastical creatures of any kind…right? Book your internship today and redefine ordinary.

The Boring Office is currently my #1 favorite escape room, for so many reasons. 1. Our group needed to play on a specific day and with 3 players instead of the 4 required on that day. Stained Hourglass was really accommodating and created a personalized coupon code to allow us to play. 2. This room was the absolute perfect theme in my eyes, and the narrative was beautifully executed. 3. Stained Hourglass went all out to personalize the room to my birthday, beyond what I could have ever imagined, and it made my birthday so so special <3 Other points of note: - "Employing" players in different "departments" was a great way to lead people toward puzzles that played to their strengths - This room has adaptive difficulty, which allowed our group to be adequately challenged - Wonderful variety of puzzle types! - Great usage of effects! - Without spoilers, shout out to the first room's puzzle specifically - Absolutely hilarious end goal We cannot wait to return to Stained Hourglass!

One puzzle would not be accessible for a wheelchair user, but as long as they don't "work for the rock department" they won't have to do that puzzle. Another puzzle requires at least some players to have strong hearing, ideally 2-3 people in the group.

This game lands in my top 10 in the greater Boston area. (We’ve played over 500 rooms) Super unique theme, great game play, and overall a very whimsical experience! I can’t wait to see what rooms they create in the future!

The room had a very unique theme which we appreciate and some wow moments. The only downside was how easy the room was, we escaped in just over 20 minutes and paid a LOT of money to play. A few more puzzles would keep experienced players engaged for longer so they get their money's worth.
Novel, good flow, very linear

Hi Jess, if that is the only downside then I'm happy to tell you that you actually finished in 38 minutes and 6 seconds! We've never had a group finish in just over 20 minutes.

This is a fun room with some unique elements. The thumbs up is mostly for originality. After a tons of rooms, we appreciate a unique theme.

I’ve done many escape rooms and don’t typically leave a review, but I have to commend the creators for putting together such a cute story, with surprisingly innovative puzzles.

A stronger contender for the best of Morty list! Added points for great story in a comfortably immersive setting.

My team and I can be rather critical of escape rooms, but a lot about this impressed us. The set design was excellent, there was a charming narrative and theming, it was a good implementation of a role-based room, and we couldn't stop talking about one particular surprise. The Stained Hourglass team also had a special game twist because we said it was our birthdays, which I've never seen done before and really enjoyed. Overall an awesome experience. Looking forward to trying their next room!
Really refreshing and engaging aesthetic contrast between different parts of the experience. The soundscape was well executed and really added to the experience. Several surprise moments really helped to keep us hooked and on our toes.
Yes
Good execution of a role-based room where roles were noticably different.
Really charming premise and plot

Not scary
Good moments of surprise/sudden plot escalation, but not spooky or scary. Might briefly alarm a young child.
