Mystery Mansion

Pretty standard escape room. Most of the pieces worked well together. Nice balance of easy clues, and difficult clues. Not bad over all.

For better or worse, the room was pretty barebones apart from the puzzle elements. But what was there was solid.

Very attentive and polite staff. Would definitely recommend them.

Nothing really stood out for this particular room.

Mmmm, the story was fine. It wasn't particularly interesting, but it did not feel contrived, and it fit the room pretty well.

One puzzle was very ambiguous, and there were a couple of "time-waster" math problems, but otherwise, pretty average.

Maybe one or two surprises here, but nothing's going to catch you off-guard if you've played other rooms.

As two relatively seasoned escapists, two was the perfect number. Four would be the most I'd want on this room without it feeling a little ... cozy.

Nothing a mysterious mansion shouldn't have. Honestly, the starkness of the room overall contributed to the atmosphere.

Chess pieces were not in proper starting spots.

The lock to get “inside” wasn’t locked so we could have gotten right in. Some puzzles were very confusing in their interpretation of the answer. Lots of math for one answer.

Not great, not terrible. From a chain this large, we expected better.

GM was fine. He seemed bored until we got into the room for our briefing. The lobby was like romper room with employees kids running amok and one of the older ones giving spoilers to every group because he had done all the games.

First part of the room was good, pretty immersive. But the second part was so so. Certain props you could clearly see that they plugged into the wall, which took away some of the surprise when that prop effect happened. Also, the person running the room gave simple clues that weren’t immersive. Some of puzzles were unnecessarily hard, also taking away from the enjoyment of the game.
