Your grandfather is in trouble and needs your help. While mining in Finland he came across an old stone face with a gem at the base. Little did he know that taking it would be detrimental. The troll protecting the mountain has taken his soul and separated it into three soul birds. You must return the heart to the mountain and restore his soul before its too late.

I don’t even know where to begin to explain how lovely this room is! this was our first time here at beyond and i was blown away! this room is so cozy and feels just as it’s intended to be- like the other reviews state- they do an AWESOME job at making use of all the space! the puzzles are challenging and there are A LOT of them- it’s very easy to get lost in time if you get stuck on a puzzle, especially as a small team! our game master was lovely- he did warn us that there were a lot of puzzles and it was going to be more challenging for a group of 2- as their rooms are designed for around 8 people but it was very fun and not too overwhelming! super props to the people here at beyond escape !

It’s so refreshing to come across a room you haven’t already seen a dozen times (don’t get me wrong, I love those Egyptian tombs, too)! The story and the texture of the world The Heart of the Mountain built are really lovely, utilizing lesser known Nordic mythology. Along with the world building, the puzzle design really shone: it’s clear, clean and logical. I think it’s the first game our team of two has ever played where we didn’t need any nudges; not because the game was too easy, but because it felt so well designed (and/or playtested). We did a day trip from Boston to do all three rooms at Beyond Escape and it was well worth the trip. Also, everyone working there from the designer-owners to the GM we met were just great. Would highly recommend as worth a trip!

I would recommend this room for smaller groups who like a bit of a challenge (we did it with just the 2 of us) and larger groups who want a room where there are a lot of different things to be done at once so no one feels like they're just standing around waiting.
Gameplay
When it comes to escape rooms this one was a great one. The story was fun to follow, the puzzles flowed well into each other, and we're challenging enough (I know that one puzzle going to be reworked after we came in for our beta test.)
Atmosphere
The room felt very immersive, everything fit so well and was very entertaining. I love the little quirks in the room that show the creator really took time to at small touches!
Customer service
The staff at Beyond Escape is second to none. Very welcoming, explain things well, and is attentive! We had the pleasure of meeting the GM during our Beta Test of this room and it's clear that he is looking to create rooms that are fun for a whole range of people as he really took our comments about the room to heart. We had a great discussion about it and I came away with a better understanding about why the rooms here are so much fun, he cares about their construction, functionality, and fun!
Story
The plot was very fun, no spoilers but I found one of the "little elements" goofy and could help but laugh. Everything felt coheisive but I'm honestly not surprised as all of the rooms at Beyond are like this!

Heart of the Mountain is a really well-put together room start to finish. The atmosphere is excellent with non-linear gameplay that flows really well. There is a solid mix of puzzle types and tasks so that everyone should be able contribute and enough puzzles that our family of 4 was able to split up without running out of puzzles. Beyond Escape does a great job adding unique elements to their rooms and this one is no different. You can tell the owners really care about creating experiences beyond your run-of-the-mill escape rooms, and their passion really shines through in this room.
Gameplay
Great flow. We never felt like we didn't know what we were doing next.
Atmosphere
We really loved the personalized aspects of the room and the hand-crafted feel of the props.
Customer service
The owners were super accommodating and were happy to answer all our questions.
Particularly interesting or different
There were some unique elements that were fun and that we had never seen before.

I am a GM here and I recommend this room for players looking for a bit of a challenge! This room has such a cozy vibe with gorgeous props and fun and intuitive puzzles. Lots of love went into making this room and it truly is a pleasure to run each game :)
