40 escape rooms
Overall, this was a fun room. I definitely recommend it, especially if you’re a fan of the movie. Some things to consider: this isn’t a private experience, so unless you book all eight slots you’ll likely be paired with another group. That’s not my preference but it may not bother other groups. For sensory needs, there is a flashing light in the first section, a couple of sections are low light, and there is bell that chimes when you get a clue or unlock a door, but it’s not super loud. I’m autistic and have mild sensory needs and it was fine. Overall: It’s a well done room but be aware if you need/want a private experience or have moderate to severe sensory needs it may not be the room for you.
Gameplay
This room was on theme and had a good flow to it. It was easy to follow the clues and a great room for people with little experience in escape rooms. We were an experienced group of 4 paired with a family (not all of whom wanted to be there) and we found the room easy to navigate but still a fun challenge.
Atmosphere
The theme was on point. Everything was from the movie Shawshank but you don’t need to have seen the movie in order to do the room. Well done theming.
Customer service
The GM was friendly and clearly explained the rules. He stepped in to help when we had a puzzle malfunction but he’s not the best GM I’ve ever had. We asked for one clue and he gave us a clue for a part we had already solved. It took a couple of minutes to explain to him where we were at and felt like he wasn’t paying attention. He also gave us a clue we didn’t ask for and counted it against our clue limit. The GM we had for the second room was much better.

Mechanical
This game was mostly mechanical with some tech elements. We had one puzzle glitch and the GM had to manually tell the puzzle to unlock.
