The Roosevelt Escape Room

The place was huge! Definitely needs multiple people to escape.

Tons of fun! Very immersive. I would definitely recommend it.

I proposed to my wife Megan in this room and we still managed to escape.

I would totally recommend this to others! The location may be a bit hard to find as it’s a bit small in a large cluster of buildings. The set of puzzles is pretty good with some of the better types other escape room enthusiasts may have encountered. The room is large so large groups can split into teams to solve puzzles, which I like; it makes it a bit non-linear and you can strategize based on each individual’s strengths. Although I’ll say one puzzle can be a bit technically difficult in the sense that I wish some of the pieces stuck better.

Excellent room as are all of the games at palaces Escape. Unusual by modern standards in how much you reused the same game elements over and over. But it worked. I loved how the game is designed to require teamwork for many of the tasks. The theme was unusual and familiar at the same time. And of course the set was fantastic. Loved it!

Roosevelt is a huge game by square footage, there are a lot of puzzles but there was something missing about this game to make it memorable. There are several rooms and puzzles where you keep coming back and solving puzzle with different variations. However it’s not the most exciting thing to do over and over again. That being said this game is still solid, just contains a lot of puzzles that may be frowned upon. Get ready to do a bit of math, read a lot of laminated papers etc.

Amazing room with amazing puzzles

A bit older sort of puzzles compared to the other rooms at Palace of Fine Arts but still a fun room. Not a room suited for those with ADA needs. There were also some moments that if you were shorter than 5ft 4, you will need help completing.

Of the 3 my group did here (Roosevelt, Attraction and Edison), this was my least favorite of the 3. It was still a really good escape room and had a lot of teamwork based puzzles. Felt a bit repetitive with the amount of times you needed to redo puzzles. Also, playing this one after playing the other 2 definitely made this one feel worse at the time than it actually was. It had some cool elements, great set design, but would not be my first to recommend here.
