• I had a great time at Puzzlephant! I played the Mr. E's Elaborate Enigma puzzle room and really enjoyed it. The puzzles were creatively designed to facilitate individual and team problem solving, which was cool because you could see how individual proclivities interacted with team dynamics and relationships. I got to see what my friends were good at and it was an awesome feeling to see everyone's skills come together to solve a puzzle that none of us could've solved on our own. The puzzles also had a fun story running throughout to keep everyone engaged. 5 stars for Puzzlephant!

• I played Mr. E's Elaborate Enigma, and my group managed to escape with just 8 seconds on the clock! It was a great exercise in communication, collaboration, and puzzle solving combined into a single activity. I've been to other puzzle rooms and thought the puzzles in Mr. E's Elaborate Enigma were some of the best and inventive and a lot of thought, time, and effort were put into creating an excellent experience.

• Well designed for newcomers and experienced players alike. Our ad hoc group of four couples were widely varied, yet everyone had a hand in solving and escaping. A good mix of searching, thinking, and experimenting with tactile pieces, this room goes beyond what pencil and paper can offer and makes good use of physical interaction.
  
  A great way to spend an hour teasing your brain, either with friends or as an ice breaker to meet new ones. The friendly, helpful staff is on hand to make sure you don't get too stuck too early. Conveniently located near several restaurants in the Mission district, too!

• This is such a fun game! It was really original and creative. I enjoyed working with my group, it was great to bounce our ideas off each other. I love solving puzzles, and this was great challenge. We were able to solve the mystery, and I wanted to do a different game immediately. I had so much fun!

• An imaginative story line with creative, challenging, and clever puzzles to solve. If not familiar with the concept, given an hour of time, a group of individuals (e.g., friends, co-workers, business customers, etc.) can "escape" the room after successfully working together to solve various puzzles.
  
  Puzzlephant had such a variety of puzzles in their Mr. E's Elaborate Enigma! (!!!) Everyone in our group of 10 friends was involved throughout the puzzle-solving thought process. Because the puzzles were fun, engaging, and tricky, we were often exchanging ideas with each other, asking questions, and trying and trying again - all in the spirit of fun - and escaping, of course! I also liked how some puzzles were good for "solo" solvers, providing for a good mix of multiple puzzles being solved at the same time.
  
  Although I did Mr. E's with friends, as a Consultant / Business Owner (Resource Catalysts) where I am often involved in exchanging ideas, decision-making, and "high stakes" situations where there are a variety of perspectives (sometimes conflicting), I can totally see the benefit of giving Puzzlephant's Mr. E's a whirl not only to have fun but also to learn the benefit of having and accepting a variety of perspectives.

• This was my second experience in a puzzle escape room and I enjoyed it very much!! The puzzles were so clever and challenging. Different from the first that I had done because I felt "destruction" was not a part of this challenge. I enjoyed the fact that there was enough for everyone in the group to discover and work on. A lot of thought was put into the individual puzzles. There was always more to do and think about. I would like to share more about the specific puzzles and why I loved them, but I don't want to spoil the experience for others. I hope many others can enjoy them!
