For my team, it was our first time at Escape Thrill. We’ve tried a lot of other rooms in the area, and personally I can say that this one was one of my favorites! I’m not usually a fan of rooms with non-linear puzzle structures, but this one was super entertaining, as the theming and sophisticated puzzles went hand in hand with one another. Even though we were not able to escape within our time we came very very close, and our game master Anastasia was helpful throughout. Overall I would give the experience an A+, and would definitely return to play again!
The theme and gameplay was very fun, for someone who’s not usually a fan of non-linear rooms, once you got the groove of this one it was very good.
Even though it’s considered medium difficulty, I found it quite challenging, the room was very puzzle-heavy and really got you thinking and using your heads collectively as a team
The atmosphere was top-notch. You start out in an elevator which you have to escape from to enter the actual room, the lighting is low, but the decor and the atmospheric music really made you feel like you had been transported into a top-secret lab.
Our game master, Anastasia, was absolutely fantastic. She was super helpful when it came to providing hints and was enthusiastic throughout our time there.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
The concept was top-notch, not one that I had seen before in the area and I would definitely bring friends back to play it again.
The story was fantastic, the team did a great job of integrating the main story into the atmosphere of the room and into each puzzle you had to solve in order to further your progress.
I wouldn’t say it’s quite expert, but I would say that the room is definitely above the medium notch difficulty.
This was probably one of the most high-tech rooms that I’ve seen, which was fitting for the theme of it being a top secret science lab. There were a lot of contactless devices, including a tablet that you needed to use in order to solve a photo-sensitive code cipher.
The room is fairly small, so I would say that 3 would be the most comfortable number. Although as stated before it’s very puzzle heavy, so the more players, the more time you save.
It wasn’t scary, but the atmosphere was still very good.
This room is definitely not ideal for very young kids, the puzzles are complicated and are better suited for children who’re older.
Physically active
Not at all
Not a lot of physical activity, but it was definitely a mental workout.
Accessibility
The room does include a few ledges build into the floor that you have to step down or up onto.
The location is near a central highway and pretty easy to find.
There’s lots of parking around the location.
