Sabotage

Sabotage is truly such a fun room. Our group consisted of four people and the opposing team was a family of three, which included a 9 year old. For the vast majority of the room, your team is working alone. You are actively racing against the other team to solve puzzles, and have the ability to send attacks to the other side. That being said, at one point there is an option to communicate with the other team, and ours told to tell the truth and commit to a truce... which the family did not do, after claiming they would. The 9 year old learned a lot about honesty that day--his dad looked very guilty that he had double-crossed our team, and we ended up with almost double the points of their team despite their betrayal. Lesson learned, I hope. Great room, would be extra fun with a very large friend group or bachelor/ette party!

It was a great experience! It was my husband and I versus a group of 4 in a separate room. Once all of the puzzles are solved - you just wait for the other team to finish to see what the final score is. Apparently, ties don’t happen very often, but we did today! If you don’t have a team of 4, you get to play against the AI CIA agent trainee (computer).

So this was very different than the usual game offered by The Escape Game. First off, this is a competitive game where you play as CIA agents in training against other trainees. Unlike other similar type games, there's direct competition (not just who can make their way through the room first) which kept this game jumping the whole way through. Curiously, the set design is a little underwhelming which is so unlike TEG. Still, we had a blast with this one and not just because we won! The puzzles themselves were pretty solid, but I don't recall how the flow was because we kept trying to unlock puzzles which allowed us to launch attacks on the competition. Go do this room, but I recall minimum of 4 (so you can play 2 on 2) or get lucky like we did and we came across a group of 3 and they paired us up!

So much fun. Optimal size probably 6 overall, 4-8 works too

This game is incredibly unique. If you’ve got 2 groups of friends to play with, it gets very competitive and tons of fun to mess with the other team. The puzzles here and theme are really well done. This is the most fun experience I’ve played. It’s not really an escape room, it is more a competitive challenge against another team.

Interesting twist on the escape games. So you can play against another team or against the computer to solve puzzles and launch attacks or defend against them. It’s a small room and you solve puzzles to launch attacks. It’s interesting the only struggle we had was understanding when the puzzle was completed. The doors open but sometimes so many doors open it’s hard to figure out which ones are new ones or if they opened.

This room was definitely different than what we at Escape Junkies are used to! The competitive nature and the complex puzzles create a challenging atmosphere that is sure to be fun for larger parties and friends looking to battle it out with wits!

We weren’t sure what to think about the competition style escape room, but we had so much fun “sabotaging” the other group! This is a really novel, unique set up and great for large groups if you’re open to splitting up :)
