Read all reviewsMy friend and I stumbled into this place on a Sunday afternoon and did the Escape Artist at the staff's recommendation. It is their newest room and no staff member is inside the room to give you hints. After being assured that "it's creepy, not scary," we were lead into the "Iforgotthename" hotel and truly had a blast. The two of us had done various escape the room games in Boston, New York and Beijing and agree that this is one of our favorite. The puzzles are challenging, fun and interactive and have more tech elements than the typical lock-after-lock setup, which gets boring after a while. As there were only two of us, we didn't successfully escape. But 4 people with some experience or 5-8 escape the room newbies should be able to escape.

One thing they can improve though is that it can be a little hard to get the hints because the volume of the walkie talkie is really low and unstable, particularly with the music playing in the background. Nonetheless, great design and a lot of fun!
Description:
Come join Harry & Bess as they transport you back to the 1920's in what promises to be an unforgettable Providence RI escape room experience.Famed illusionist Harry Houdini passed away on October 31, 1926. Prior to his death, he and his beloved wife, Bess, had discussed her trying to contact him in the afterlife. If she was successful, Harry was to reveal the phrase 'Rosabel, Believe,' a reference to their favorite musical tune.
On the anniversary of his death every year since his passing, Bess has performed a seance at The Knickerbocker hotel in hopes of contacting Houdini. Unfortunately, each year has been met with the same result – failure to contact Harry.
It is now October 31, 1936. Ten years since the death of Harry Houdini. Bess has decided that this will be her final attempt before she will give up on trying to contact Houdini forever. You have come to her aid in an attempt to help her succeed before she puts out the lights on Harry’s shrine for good. Will you succeed in helping Bess to contact her beloved husband one last time or will Houdini rest in silence forever?
You have 60 minutes to complete the seance and contact Harry Houdini.
