Came in on a Friday night with 2 friends and ended up joining up with another group to play the Apartment game. We managed to escape! However, the experience was just alright. One of the clues was broken so we had to be given the answer by the game controller. Because we did not know the other group or have to mingle - the experience was frustrating with people running around looking for clues.

I'd say this is good for corporate events/with a big a group of friends - but would not recommend going as a small group as you never know what other group you'd be put in with.

Description:

You and your friends are locked in what feels like a typical apartment: cozy, intimate and the fridge is stocked with mom's cooking. That may sound appealing, but today you will have to find a way out and escape in 60 minutes!

Reviews of escape game "The Apartment"

I did the Apartment here and overall it was a fun experience. The puzzles seemed like the right amount of difficulty and the progression was good. My problem with this place is how old some of the puzzles are. Some of them malfunctioned and we felt like we solved puzzles in vain because the thing that was supposed to open just did.

People were nice and the decor was alright. They will throw out clues to you every now and then if they see that you're stuck. This isn't the most elaborate escape the rooms I've ever been in but that's okay. Overall, it was a good experience!

This escape room was "meh." The biggest disappointment was that there was no story. You are simply locked in the apartment and told you have an hour to get out. Compared to the other rooms I've done, it really lacked story.

This room was just sitting there with no story and no personality. A bunch of puzzles that didn't seem at all related to each other. There were a few clever locks, and I do like the overall escape room experience, but for $30 a head, I expect a better story or theme or integrated experience.

It was ok, we asked for help a loooot but still had fun! i mean it's better to ask than to stay stuck and lose! so i would def come back and try the other rooms and the apartment was great!
