The Cavern

Pieces of puzzles were worn down, puzzles were broken, logic leaps and lazy puzzle construction everywhere ... Not my favorite room. The set was cool and the ending was satisfying, but the actual puzzle element of the room was sorely lacking. Also, for a place that advertises bringing you drinks in the rooms, this room is the one room you can't drink in which we didn't know until we got there.

Jump scare….

The first room was really cool. Felt like you were actually in an elevator going down underground. The room overall was fairly easy. We got through super fast. It’s on the higher end of price based on other rooms we’ve done, but got through very quickly. It seemed like there weren’t enough puzzles overall. The theming and story was good, but didn’t quite live up to it. 3 of us did the room. 2 of us have done over 30, but the other had only done two previously.

Overall, this is our favorite game at The Escape Company and Savannah in general… though It does have a few issues. There is broken tech in the beginning that has been supplanted by a 4 digit lockbox, but the tech element was left as “decor” which makes for confusion when you try to enter the code into it (we also ran into this same issue in another one of The Escape Company’s rooms). We had one other tech failure but the gamemaster saw after a few minutes and told us how to reset it. The decor of the room is solid. The room also has a fun, immersive beginning and end, though the end comes much quicker than we would have hoped… our team of 2 was not rushing by any means and we finished the experience in <29 minutes (even with the few minutes lost to the tech failure). Still, if you’re a team of 2 in Savannah and want to play a game, this is the one I would recommend.
