Whatever Happened To The Garretts?

Good! A couple broken puzzles. We wasted time doing things that were already "solved" because they were broken. But overall, it was a clever flow.

Great! Despite some worn props, and kind of a sad looking entrance, it was a good production designed room.

The staff was very friendly. Seems like they were kind of overwhelmed because they missed a couple things in the reset and told us to do things in the room that we'd already done. but otherwise, good!

The theme and experience went to place we weren't expecting! Very cool

Good! I like all the unfolding rooms, even if it was pretty unclear what it actually meant or who these characters were.

Some of the puzzles were properly challenging, but despite being slow in certain areas, we still finished the experience with more than 20 minutes to spare. So.... I'd say they could do with a few more puzzles.

huge range here, but there were a couple VERY high tech puzzles that were extremely cool.

A couple of lights compartments were not closed when we came in, and even though we tried to close them to reset and even though the game master told us to try closing them as well, they would not close. It basically spoiled a couple of different puzzles. Some other props were a little worn down. Definitely seems like the room has taken a beating

A couple of times you had to move space to space. but overall the puzzles were pretty stationary.

While a small amount of traditional locks exists in the room (I think just 2?), the vast majority uses tech, object manipulation, and making connections to solve puzzles. No two puzzles are the same. Despite being in a fully-decorated house with a decent amount of decor, there are NO RED HERRINGS! Everything is pure logic and using contact clues. This is puzzle design excellence on display. Despite some puzzles having text, this really could be a language-independent game: That’s how clean these puzzles solve! Even saying the variety of puzzles you’ll encounter feels like a spoiler. Just know it’s all very in-world and fair! That said, this is a fairly linear room, so for experienced groups, you’ll want to do this as a couple to be involved in as many puzzles as you can.

It feels like a weathered and old house, even though it’s very clean and shows no signs of repeated use. The set reveals are so great in the little and big ways it surprises you. Big Meow Wolf vibes!

Andy was so friendly! We talked to him for quite a while before and after the room. Maze is lucky to have him! :) Even though we didn’t use any clues, Andy let us know how much time we had left and assured us we were right on pace. He even offered us a couple extra minutes if we could answer some trivia (felt very appropriate and was a fun break).

The third act took this game from an above-average story with brilliant puzzles to a game that deserves to be TERPECA rated. It’s THAT good, THAT different, and THAT interesting.

A brief intro sets the stage, and we slowly discover whatever happened to the Garretts through environmental clues and some audio/text late-game. It’s surprising and engaging throughout.

This was my 100th room. I’ve seen a lot of puzzles. This tossed classic packed at us in new ways, and it asked for us to do many novel interactions. There’s a little struggle, but it’s all solvable without guessing or outside information!

Lots of making connections to use objects. The RFID/magnet sensors are always invisible, so it just feels like magic as you solve things!

2 experienced people. Maybe no more than 4 casual players.

Don’t be fooled by the game’s description! There’s nothing scary here. The idea of them disappearing is weird, but the game isn’t ever going to even creep you out. Promise.

One puzzle requires some dexterity.

There’s one puzzle that uses color in a slightly dim area, but it’s easy enough to move to the light and see the colors clearly.

It’s right above the coffee shop in the shopping center. :)

We did a ride share, but it seems like parking might be slim pickin’s.

Fun and different puzzles.

Really liked the story , it had an interesting twist and a fun ending .

We did it with 2 but 3 would have been ideal.

Tech issues but we got a clue and got through it

Color blindness would be an issue, and some bit of physical activity is required.

Very linear room, with 6 the flow felt a bit stuttery for lack of a better word, but all in all still good fun

Great atmosphere, all spaces felt completely in theme and were very well done.

One of the best incorporations of a fairly common twist I’ve seen.

Our game master was super nice and actually introduced us to Morty after hearing that we were escape room fans

Supposedly based on a real-life unsolved mystery. That mystery carries you through the room as you aim to discover the answer to the titular question.

Not very spacious

There is a puzzle that requires hearing

It's upstairs in a plaza. You'll be fighting for parking with the other businesses.

Linear but super innovative and immersive

Alexa was the best

The GM was ok, didn’t feel connected and enthusiastic with the story as most GMs. Did a good job on giving us hints tho.

There’s no jump scares.

Second floor of the plaza

We went at night
