The look and feel of the room was on point. There is a lot to look at and take in from the start a little overwhelming but in a good way. The room is heavy on locks and I am not opposed to locks but they used similar combinations and sometimes we were unsure what lock to put the answer into which caused some scrambling. The puzzles are not overly complicated but we had to be nudged at times to look at things because we just didn't see or notice the puzzle connections. There are a couple of puzzles we haven't seen for an "oh wow that was fun" moment. The ending was a lot of fun!

We are happy you enjoyed the game. This room does have multiple starting points so it can take a minute to choose a path (and discover which elements go together), but we wanted to give larger groups a more non-linear start. Happy you liked the ending, we are wondering what you chose to do :D

TL:DR - an amazing room with fun puzzles and atmosphere. Inspired by gravity Falls, So if you’ve seen the show, you will get more enjoyment out of it, however, you will still love this room, even if you haven’t seen it. Yet another room that Raven Chase has knocked out of the park. We were excited to try out the new room as we have played all the other rooms at this location, and we all agreed this was either our favorite room or our second favorite room. There was a cute little story to go along, which led to a fun little ending. The atmosphere to go along with it was amazing. I feel like they could’ve added a few more fun gift store props on the floor of the main area, but other than that, it was great! I think when it comes to the puzzles, this room is their strongest. There was a lot of fun, cool, diverse clever puzzles in this one. While one or two stumped us for a little bit, we thought all puzzles were fair. This room is heavily inspired by gravity Falls, so if you’ve seen the show, you will get A LOT of added excitement out of this room, but if you haven’t seen the show, this is still a very solid room. The difficulty in this room was pretty medium, if you’re going with a group of escape room enthusiast, four people is ideal for this room. However, I will say it wouldn’t be bad to have a few more as there are a lot of puzzles to solve. I look forward to your future rooms Raven Chase! -Your number 1 fan

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! We are happy to hear you really like Cryptid Grove. Gravity Falls was a show we loved and we wanted to honor it with this room. As you said, no outside knowledge is required, but we tried to cram it with easter eggs all over! Thank you so much for playing all our games, we are busy making our next game which will be ready late this year (maybe next?)

This room was a blast. The theme was amazing. Puzzles weren’t super challenging but did make us think a few times. Absolutely loved the experience.

I’ve loved many of the games at ERH and was excited to see them open the expanded location. Staff was awesome, very welcoming and friendly when we arrived, and appropriately attentive during the game. Interesting theme—-quirky and not our typical preference but one I haven’t seen often before,
No
Thank you for the kind words :D We have started working on our next game and it should be ready by the end of the year. We hope to see you again soon!

Another excellent room from ERH! Great puzzle design, with iconography that does a good job of linking key information with the lock it solves, and a nice balance of different puzzle types. The art design of the room was particularly great, with a thick lined, cartoony look that harkens to its inspiration from Gravity Falls. There was one moment towards the end of the room where we were a bit stumped as to what puzzle was left to be solved, but otherwise the room flowed really well. Overall, highly recommend!

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed our newest game, Cryptid Grove! The art design is something we've wanted to try for years and finally had the right theme to give it a go. We were inspired by videogames like Borderlands to give this style a chance. Thank you for the kind words, we hope you will join us again soon for another adventure!

One of the most unique themes I’ve ever done! Great use of technology. Super fun puzzles and they all had clean solutions. My partner and I were able to escape just the two of us and GM was surprised as think it’s a larger room that would benefit from extra hands. Loved it, wish I could do it again!

Probably RavenChase’s strongest game from a puzzling perspective. Definitely Gravity Falls Inspired and I appreciated the references a ton! While the effects were extremely well-integrated, they weren’t as jaw-dropping as some of the other Ravenchase games, but please don’t let that distract from the perfect integration of clever tech throughout! Thank you so much Ravenchase! I’m looking forward to when your other game opens at the nest!
This is one of RavenChase’s strongest puzzle games.
Excellent. Very campy and fun. Tonally appropriate.
GM did everything enthusiastically, was a little more excited then we were, and while she did an excellent job we were a bit put off.
Yes
Very clever and appropriate uses of tech, broke the one clue one use rule in interesting ways.
Reminded me of Gravity Falls. Otherwise was a standard “find [X] object” story.
Medium
Could be potentially “hard” for a smaller team (we required a few more hints than we wish we could’ve needed) but was about typical difficulty.

Very good tech choices. Integrated to the setting well.

I’m not 100% certain of dimensions, but I think the room is large enough to accommodate most.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed our newest game. We love Gravity Falls so had to put a few easter eggs in there for fans. We are hoping to have our next game ready later this year. We look forward to welcoming you back then!

Thank you for playing Cryptid Grove! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the game and the vibe of the room. This cell-shaped design of the "shop" was one that we've wanted to create for a long time, and were happy to bring it to the Grove. We are relieved it lived up to the hype :D Thank you for playing with us, we hope to see you again soon for another adventure!

It’s safe to say that I’m a ravenchase fan. We earned our golden buttons today at their escape room Herndon and then did this room at Raven’s nest. There hasn’t been one room that I disliked and Cryptid Grove did not disappoint. This room seemed pretty family friendly. Not scary at all. We’ll be back when they open other rooms. This is probably my least favorite of the ravenchase rooms in Herndon but by no means does that mean it’s bad, just that the others are really good.

Thank you for being such awesome fans! We have to make more room for you now that you've played everything lol. We were going for a game that would be accessible to all player types with Crytpid Grove. We wanted to show more of the innocent side of our beloved cryptids so we steered away from any scares :D As enthusiasts ourselves, we know that the preferences of players vary significantly among us all. We have always tried to create our rooms so that each game feels entirely different than the others in puzzle flow, vibes, and immersion. Hopefully giving everyone a chance to have their different favorite game, and we love that. Thank you for playing everything! We can't wait to welcome you back for more (maybe later this year....) :D
