The Mole of The Mountain

This is one of those rooms I'll be talking about for years to come; rooms like this are why I do escape rooms. Firstly, a HUGE thank you to the GM from a logstical perspective. We arrived for our 11:45 arrival at 11:55 (we drove 2hrs to get here and the traffic just wasn't on our side), and the GM was very patient and kind when she had every right to be frustrated. We also took 76min to escape this 75min room, and because we were so close the GM added an extra minute to the clock without us knowing. I absolutely love when rooms are willing to bend the clock in favor of letting players complete the storyline. And what an amazing storyline it was! From the intro video to the very last seconds in this room, I was amazed by the story, the set, the details—anyone designing escape rooms should visit this room for inspiration. Not only were the narrative/set/immersion amazing, but the puzzles were just as high-quality. We saw some unique puzzle types we've never seen before, and clever spins on classic puzzles (extra shout out to the washing machine!), and appreciated the wide variety of puzzle types allowing us to tap in on many different types of thinking. I truly do not have enough praise for Mole of the Mountain, it is well worth traveling for.

Great production value. Very clear that a lot of time and thought went into designing this room. Great variety and creativity in the puzzles, and a very fun(ny) twist in the story. One of the most fun rooms I've done.

truly amazing game, there were so many unique puzzles and woah moments! amazing set, fun story, and interesting puzzles. super duper recommend

Great production value, the "jump scare" isn't anyone jumping out at you or anything, not scary (which was good for our group!) Creative and unique puzzles that have you all over the rooms and going back and forth and needing to work together.

The owner is so amazing! He is passionate about what he does and it can be seen in every inch of his business. This room in particular was clearly a labor of love. I’ve never seen such immersive theming in a room. Definitely a must try!

We are escape room enthusiasts…to put it mildly!!! This room embodies all the positives you look for in an escape room: unique story line, lots of surprises, plot twists, amazing puzzles with incredible results, mind blowing technology inclusion and an insanely immersive decor!!! Overall it’s PHENOMENAL!!!!!! Can’t recommend this one enough!!!!

Never have I ever been speechless in an escape room before. This room brings a myriad of different puzzles that have just the right amount of challenge to them. Each puzzle was unique in its own way and brought a fun atmosphere to the entire room. I have done a lot of rooms, and none have been this exciting. It is a must do if you are in the area!

Hilariously brilliant in every way. Puzzles were fun, unique, and just the right amount of challenging. The hidden Easter eggs just make the game that much better, cannot recommend this game enough!

Mole of the Mountain was a game I played in beta that immediately stood out to me as a masterpiece. This is a game made with a lot of passion, care, detail, and an excellent sense of humor. The puzzles generally require unique teamwork, making use of the environment in the ways the best escape rooms always do. More so than anything, Mole of the Mountain tells a unique story with a very deft hand. The plot commits to the bit, and goes in some very unexpected directions. The owners are incredible designers and seeing their trajectory (and knowing them for so long) has been absolutely incredible. Plus, if you’ve played with them long enough, you can notice a few interesting Easter eggs (be sure to ask for a quick tour after!)

I love so many escape rooms but very rarely have I considered any of them as must do. That is until I went to Upside Down Escape Games in Cape Cod, MA. You must play The Mole of the Mountain!!!My God! The thought and painstaking detail that went into creating the room is mind boggling! I can't go into super detail because this is something that has to be experienced for yourself. The set is probably the best I have seen in the longest time. If you have a brief second take a moment and look around for all of the wonderful Easter Eggs. The puzzles were so much fun and complex. A lovely mix of brain teasers and physical challenges. We had a group of four and it felt like the perfect number. The final third of the game threw such a masterful twist into the game that I am still chuckling about it a day later. Do yourself a favor and make this a must do for 2025!
