I escaped the room, but only because they let me out.
If you’re game to get locked in an orange room modeled after an old lady’s apartment, where you must try to solve your way out within an hour, you’re in for a good time. But speaking as someone who came really close and ultimately emerged a loser, don’t make the same mistakes I did!
I have been sworn to secrecy by the wardens of the mystery room, so I can’t go into great detail about what goes on once the door slams shut, but I can say there are more obstacles than first meet the eye.
Going in, you expect to hunt for clues by ripping apart floorboards, flipping furniture, and rifling through papers. But you might not be prepared for the real challenge — working with other players to function as a team! Whether you go with a group of friends, strangers, or a combination of both, beware wannabe Sherlocks who batter down others’ ideas so that their own can come out on top. Your worst enemy might not be the disorienting number of clues and mind-bending puzzles that lurk behind the red door, but the allies who are there to help you solve your way out.
