Astrologer

I’ve played over 50 escape rooms around the world, and The Astrologer truly stands out. A friend recommended it to us — it’s a great choice for players who’ve done a few escape rooms before but aren’t experts yet. The decorations fit the theme perfectly, and there are many rooms inside. Each one is spacious enough to comfortably fit six or more adults, so you never feel crowded while playing. What I loved most is that our group of six could work on multiple puzzles at the same time, unlike many other escape rooms where everyone has to solve one puzzle together before moving on. This design made everyone feel involved throughout the game. I also really enjoyed the unexpected twist — it was something I’d never experienced before, and the story was cleverly connected from beginning to end with great foreshadowing. The only area that could be improved is that a few small details are only fully understood during the final story recap. I’ve seen some negative reviews online, but I think those come from people who didn’t fully understand the story or the design. I definitely recommend trying it yourself — it’s worth it!

First 1/3 of the room was good, nice GM and live actor, some really really fun effects. The story just got really confusing to us and knowing the story was really imperative to knowing where you needed to be and what you needed to interact with in the last half of the game. So the GM had to direct us for most of the second half which really takes you out of it. Some extra indicators or use of lighting to direct you on your next actions would really elevate this room as there are some really fun elements here
