4 escape rooms
This is the Escape Room that first time escapees in Maine should do. Perfect for a group of 4 or 5. Puzzles are largely riddle/brainteaser style with some easier mechanical puzzles mixed in. Light fun!
Gameplay
Good game flow. Didn’t need too many hints. If we had followed the directions (and that was totally on us), we wouldn’t have needed one clue. These clues are common escape room fare, so if you do them a lot, you will likely find this one pretty easy.
Atmosphere
There is one spectacular magic moment and the rest of the room feels very “old Maine cabin” but in a way that totally enhances the experience. If you know, you know. Great sound effects and props that feel perfectly in place.
Customer service
The GMs at Maine Escape Games are always fun and professional and helpful. They are a good crew.
Particularly interesting or different
No
No but also yes. Game play was fantastic if you’re new to escape rooms or looking for something not super brain burning. If you are a veteran escaper, this one is not probably going to give you too many surprises
Story
Easy to follow story with a simple theme. Could definitely imagine a crazy uncle in Maine hiding treasure in this fashion so there is an element of realism to this one.
Difficulty
Easy
I wish this had been my first escape room.
Game tech
Mechanical
Not as sophisticated as some of the other rooms at this location, but it without its own wow surprises.

This is a very family friendly room.

Was anything broken?
No
This is an older room though so it’s starting to show it’s age.
Live actors
No
Physically active
Not at all
There was one puzzle requiring throwing, which was tricky because we are not super good at throwing.
Accessibility
Mood lighting made it a bit hard to read some of the smaller writing but most of the puzzles were of a good size and easy to manipulate. Two puzzles rely on color. One of the quieter rooms, so good for folks with hearing issues. There are narrower rooms and areas with step ups. Some puzzles that require reaching or stretching.
Easy to find location
Yes
Parking
Easy
Lots of parking.
