The Curse Of Madame Zita’s Curiosities

Great room with a very good mix of puzzles. Most puzzles were mechanical which I loved. The theming was amazing (though second room not so much). There was a good amount of space for larger groups too.

This room was great. Not just locks and keys. Lots of physical technical puzzles. Finished the room in just over an hour with 2 people. Staff was great. Definitely going to try more rooms from Find & Seek.

Exceeded expectations. I do a LOT of escape rooms and this one was a real challenge. So much detail, and such clever puzzles. We were told after, this is their hardest room for a group of 2. I’d recommend 3 or 4 people so you don’t run low on time.

Surprisingly good use of the space given the limitations of being inside a mall, clever puzzle designs and lots to do in 45 min.

Really enjoyable room- tactile puzzles rather than a bunch of combination locks. We did this with three people and were fine

I rate this room a 4/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). The set design and theme I gave 1 pt. But my favorite thing about all the rooms at this establishment is definitely the puzzles. In this room, they get 1.5 pts. The puzzles are varied between tactile and logic types. This gives a great overall puzzle experience. There was a seemingly unnecessarily long time-sucker puzzle (ya know, the type of puzzle where you figure it out right away but it takes an unreasonable amount of time to complete) which takes away from the experience a bit. I would still give my enjoyment 1.5 pts. I really like how they incorporate a distinct sound when you complete a puzzle and when they drop a hint. It's also bright enough to see (for these middle-aged eyes) and note-taking devices are readily available. My only complaint would be the polaroid. If they would just have the pic available online to more easily share!

Very fun and diverse in terms of puzzle.

We types in a code and it didn’t register. We did it several times and thought we got the answer wrong. Apparently it’s on a timer.

Reviewing the Magic and Curiosity shop games together. Both games have strong opening sets and far lesser impressive spaces after. Both are 45 minutes and you need to move swiftly to escape. Both games have high-consequence puzzles that can be time-consuming; solving these right the first time could make or break your escape. Both games have excellent, on-theme puzzles, which is where Find & Seek thrives. These are pretty challenging games. The Magic game is far more linear and easier, with some nice reveals early on. In general, the puzzles are solved in the room they have progressed into. The Curiosity Shop is more challenging and non-linear. Teams will be moving between the rooms back and forth more in this game. The puzzles were frantic with a rapid pace, similar to Undercooked at Omescape. There are some larger, tactile pieces that are very fun the play with. Overall, both of these games are good if you are into intense puzzling. Be ready to ask for hints if it feels like you are slowing down.
