One thing Mystic’s Littleton location does very well is utilize limited space effectively. Both games I’ve played here so far have made the most of a fairly small area while still feeling like I’m progressing and not just staying in one place.
This one was a pretty solid bread-and-butter escape room. It’s not that flashy but it’s really good. Puzzles are fun and just challenging enough.
A lovely linear game - while some treat that as an epithet these days, I’m a bit old school in that I really enjoy linear puzzle flows.
There were some lovely props, and the set decoration overall was well done.
Mystic’s staff are always really kind and fun.
Simple and straightforward. The theming did provide a consistent experience.
We did have to ask for a few hints but nothing was so hard we weren’t having fun.
There may be a few techy things here but by and large this is mechanical. Keys and locks, brainy puzzles, and a few physical-manipulation moments.
The space isn’t big enough to fit too many. 2-4 is probably ideal.
Physically active
Somewhat
There was a small amount of crawling, but it’s definitely possible to send a subset of the group through that part and leave others in the main area.
Accessibility
There was a section of the room only accessible by crawling.
Much easier on subsequent visits, but the first time you go, expect to drive past it and have to loop around.
The parking lot isn’t huge but both times I’ve visited, I have parked without difficulty.
