Instantly book on Morty
Mark as done to rate
It’s been years since you’ve last seen your grandpa, so you’ve planned a surprise visit to go see him. When arriving at his home, you find it vacant, covered in layers of dust. The bed is made, but appears to have not been slept in for ages, and all the food in the fridge has long expired. Where has your grandpa gone? You find a small notebook on his desk. It’s your grandpa’s journal! It contains notes about a holy guru known to his followers as “The Mole of The Mountain”, who promises to teach those who seek him the path to enlightenment. Intrigued, you set off to follow in your grandpa’s footsteps. The notes in his journal lead you to an abandoned scrapheap. You discover a giant mountain of trash within. There is a cave-like entrance into the trash heap. This must be where your grandfather went! You bravely venture forth into the cavernous mouth of this mountain of trash. What secrets await you inside?

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.

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.

So great to hear this! Yes the "jump scare" isn't meant to actually be a jump scare, but we just wanted to have that potential trigger warning for people so I'm glad to hear it was good for you group! Thank you for playing!

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!

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!)
Tactile, collaborative tasks both well themed and novel
Manages to be busy while remaining clear what is a puzzle and what is not.
The owners are awesome people.

Thank you Shawn! We really appreciate you beta testing the game and giving great feedback. I've also always admired your way with words, you are a great review writer!

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!
Amazing, jaw dropping set!!!

This escape room by far and away exceeds any previous escape room, from the hidden details to the clear passion the team at Upside Down put into it, it’s amazing. The ending is so bizarre and very satisfying, 10/10 would recommend
This has to be one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever played
Unbelievable
They are so lovely and we got to see a few of the behind the scenes resets which was awesome
