Mark as done to rate

You’re 10 days into an experiment. Or it’s gotta be close to that. You know it’s 1974, and you’re at the Douglas County Asylum in Castle Rock. Colorado. At least that’s what they keep telling you. You came in here to uncover the truth about reports of patient abuse and terrible living conditions, but now you’re even questioning your own mental fortitude. The Asylum has done what it can to keep you complicit, but you’ve heard them talking about submitting your group to the next round of horrifying experiments. The doctors and staff know what you have seen, and are currently meeting to discuss how to carry out the experiments on your group. That means you have 60 minutes to get out and expose the truth. No one has ever escaped Douglas County Asylum, but there are tales of an individual that got close. They supposedly have left clues behind, but you’ll have to stay focused to follow the trail. It’s your only hope to get out alive and bring the atrocities to light – or will you become the latest to be tortured and lobotomized?

We love ClueClock and truly enjoyed our experience, shoutout to the amazing game masters who were all so kind and welcoming! The gameplay in this room started off a bit tricky, as it was hard to pinpoint the main objective at first. That said, there were some really unique puzzles that stood out, and once things started to click in the second half, the experience became a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the storyline and can’t wait to come back for the last two games!

You guys are the best—TWO “loved” reviews?! We’re blushing over here 😳❤️ Big shoutout back to you for being awesome players and for giving our Game Masters some love—they eat that stuff up like candy. Totally hear you on the tricky start! Sometimes the beginning throws a curveball before it clicks, but sounds like you hit your stride and cracked the code like pros. 🧩🕵️‍♂️ We’re pumped you’re planning to come back for the final two rooms—don’t worry, we’ve saved some of our weirdest, wildest fun for those. Can’t wait to lock you in again soon! 😄🔐 —Your fans at ClueClock Escape ⏰

Fun non-linear room! Starting out with the blindfold and straightjackets is such a cool idea. There was one part that didn't make a ton of sense, but all of the other puzzles were great and fit nicely with the theme. Some of the puzzles were cool and felt fresh so that was awesome. And our Game Master was great! Definitely for more experienced groups, and the room is a little small so I wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than 5ish.

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the non-linear gameplay and the straightjacket + blindfold intro—definitely one of our favorite ways to kick things off with a twist! 😄🧠 We appreciate the feedback on that one part that didn’t quite click—our team is always refining and testing to make each experience better. We're also glad the puzzles felt fresh and on-theme, and we’ll be sure to pass the shoutout along to your Game Master—they’ll love hearing it! And great call on group size—10 Days in a Madhouse definitely works best with smaller, experienced teams ready to dive into the chaos. Hope to see you again soon for another wild escape! —The ClueClock Escape Team ⏰

Different types of puzzles. They definitely gave you everything you would need. We just weren’t always smart enough to use them correctly at first. Rachel was an awesome game master and helped out as needed.

The room was really fun and overall well done. The start was very exciting and set the stage well. There was a few puzzles that were a little confusing for us but overall we had a good time. Looking forward to going back to try their other rooms

I enjoyed this a lot! It was fun to start in a straitjacket and blindfolded, and I liked the old timey political theme that went along with the main plot. There’s some cool puzzles in here for sure, but some are slightly obscure. My favorite game so far at Clue Clock!

What a fun room! They start you out in straight jackets and blindfolded, which makes for a lot of laughs from the start. Our game master was helpful and funny.
