Random review
Read all reviewsThis was our first time doing an Escape Room. The setup was good overall, but I felt like too many times we had to "start from scratch" by finding some obscurely hidden thing, rather than a linear(ish) sequence of logical or related steps. There are some exceptions, like one or two threads in particular that I am thinking of, but overall I felt like it was more "find random stuff" than intellectually challenging puzzles. Also, one of the devices had major issues (or our randomly partnered people who were using it all had major issues), which complicated things significantly. I have also gone to Mission Escape, and I would definitely go back there first on the strength of their puzzles and the construction/ordering of the challenges, but I would also certainly come back to Escape the Room as well. Solid, very good, but not the best of what we've been to.
