Only Murders in the Building [Season 4]

Fun game! Plenty of puzzles to keep a bigger group entertained. We had a group of 7 and there was rarely a time when someone was standing around doing nothing. Some puzzles that required teamwork. Ending felt a little anticlimactic.

Over the years, we’ve done rooms that where the theme has been based off an official IP of a movie, book or TV show, most unofficial but a few officially licensed. Proving once again that The Escape Game knows what they are doing, their official collaboration with the “Only Murders in the Building” TV show knocks it out of the park. Why? LOTS and LOTS of nods, references & Easter eggs to the TV show, especially the latest (Season 4). The goal of the game (to recover a missing movie reel) isn’t something contrived, but rather also related to the latest season. MOST importantly, unrelated to the show, it’s a solid escape room. The puzzles are intuitive and not just a walk-in-the-park. It’s a shame this is only offered at The Escape Game’s NYC & LA locations. If you are either a fan of the show or just like escape rooms, this is worth doing. If you love both (like us), this is a MUST-DO! Random: This was the first time EVER that we were encouraged to take pictures and video of anything both sitting and after the game! (Helps with marketing?)

Great puzzles and fun set design! I definitely think they should keep the room around, even if they re-skin it

We love the show and came specifically to play this room. It was very well done with some great out of the box thinking puzzles. We had a fabulous time.

Theme was great with the recent season of the show. Many of the mechanisms were the same as the previous game “The heist”, but it had been long enough that I forgot most of them so it was new enough to me, even with new “wrappings”. Interesting overall, but not too challenging.

I will say one thing if you haven’t seen the show. It really won’t affect your game at all. So don’t let that stop you from going.
