The Invention Room

This room was a very fun experience and had a pretty strong Benjamin Franklin theme throughout the room (sounds weird, but it's true). The puzzles were fairly easy to follow, but I did get stumped quite a few times. Playing solo hindered me a bit, as there were some puzzles that needed at least two people to complete. Also, for anyone who may have difficulty seeing in low light like myself, this room can be a bit difficult, as your only light source for the majority of the room is small candle.

GM was awesome and in character, no complaints about him. My main dislikes are from the room itself. First room puzzles were okay, we went through it pretty quickly. Some puzzles I thought were cool but, I think me and the person I did it with got stuck with this one puzzle where there was no direction on how to get it. Puzzles when you get to them should tell you how to solve them within themselves. I shouldn't be trying every combination on a lock because I found 5 other solutions. I should know where each solution goes, not trying to figure out where each one goes. GM had to give us the answer and we still didn't know how he got to that answer? We were left scratching our heads wondering what was the relation, and that kind of broke our flow because we were truly confused haha Could be a skill issue but $40 is $40 and there are way better rooms near this one that you could do, and I would 100% skip this one, felt very half assed and no care put into it at all.

Fun though straightforward game! A couple of unique puzzles and one riddle that I’m not sure we would have ever solved without a hint, but maybe that’s just us. 4 is a great group size for this as anything more and you’ll feel a bit cramped. We enjoyed our experience!

Small, densely-packed and dimly-lit Gen 1 room. The colonial flavor is as strong as the in-room tea service. Our Frengamin Banklin was fantastic!

I did this room a long time ago when it was still at Escape Room Era. Everything was familiar at Escapades location but in a much smaller space. It was pretty crampy with just the 3 of us. The lighting was a lot dimmer than the original which made it challenging and I liked it better at this location. I just wish there were more candles to roam around with. This was a pretty fun Gen 1 room!

Definitely enjoyed this more than the Christmas version. Struggled on some of the puzzles but it was so interesting

Matt and Adam made this experience great. Very fun room with cool puzzles

First game at Escapade! Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Jacob even gave us a sneak preview for their new room! Game itself ran smoothly, some cool puzzles I haven’t seen before. 100% homemade, original room. Some alignment issues with the last puzzle. I’d come back, especially for Zoe! Four people was a bit cramped in here, I’d say don’t go above four.

We were on it today and it felt like everything clicked. However, the puzzles were really cool and there were ones I hadn’t seen before. Really enjoyed this room and our GM Jacob was great
