    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

    13th Hour Escape Room

    • Escape room

    This Oz game is Wonderful! A must play for fans of the movie or the books, immersive scenery, or if you are just looking for something unique. The game is a delightful trip into the world of Oz as experienced by Dorothy. Puzzling is light, so very kid friendly or good for beginners. Our team of experienced players also enjoyed it and left with smiles on our faces. While not horror themed like most of the games at 13th Hour, we could feel their design influence in the mechanics. Overall, would vote this a must play. Play this game, and tell them you found it in Morty!

    7th room is another excellent game at Dare 2 Escape and in my personal Top 10 in the 100+ games I played in 2021. I was blown away by the surprises at every turn, the quality of the puzzles and just the right amount of spooky/scary content! This game is a Must Play!

    I loved playing Stash House! It’s one of those games where all the elements of story, setting, and puzzles fit together seamlessly. From the non-descript entry to the mission through to the conclusion, the atmosphere and mood just flows. There’s a fair amount of drug culture references, but it’s up to the player to decide how much is real life and how much is movie-like make believe.

    Return of the Pharaohs is the best Egyptian-themed game I have ever played! Exceptional game play, puzzles, and use of props. Tech integration was seamless. Story moved along with the puzzling which multi-layered and engaging for the whole team. Set used, but didn’t overuse, the Egyptian theme which is a common problem in this genre. By a problem, I mean (no spoiler) I’ve played games where we spend an hour learning and translating hieroglyphics over and over and over and over again! Or where the game expects you to know all Egyptian mythology as if we personally dug up King Tut’s tomb! Talk about frustrating. Instead, Paragon wisely chose not to abuse any Egyptian themed tropes. This is a great game; can’t wait to see what Paragon builds next! Definitely go play this game and tell them you found it on Morty.

    Well done narrative-driven game with an unusual story. The Ghost Light is left on so that the ghosts of the performers can take stage every night. The mystery in this room creatively builds on this theme. There were a couple of really great reveals and transitions in this game. Highly recommend.

    Well-designed set, challenging puzzles, and some clever surprises all combined to make this a fun quest. The story is simplistic, but all efforts in the game drive you forward to a satisfying conclusion. Our experienced team of 3 had to move quickly through the tasks, so 4 would be ideal. We enjoyed The Last Supper at Quest Tavern and were pleased to have the same game master.

    13th Hour Escape Room

    Most elaborate of the rooms at 13th hour which has created an entire horror-themed collection of escape rooms tied to the narrative of the murderous John Hayden family. This room was the most challenging for our team of experienced enthusiasts, but it also had the most clever reveals. These are large rooms in a warehouse-sized space and the game creators really take advantage of it with their non-linear puzzle design. We got to enjoy having actors in the room during REA Escape Immerse Explore 1-day tour. They were funny spooky not scary so ask if available as their presence really adds to the experience. Note that one puzzle would be very problematic for anyone with claustrophobia.

    Montauk project was like an appreciation of Stranger Things vs a full copy. Fans will get the references but no prior knowledge needed. The game was fun to play, but there was some cluing that was easy to miss. While the set was cool, the ending was somewhat underwhelming.

    Great take on a cold case. Avoid spoilers and just play this game!

    Quest Room - Redondo Beach

    Warlocked is an imaginative, whimsical fun game that is good for all ages. Players have tasks to complete as part of a quest. As I was playing, it reminded me of Enchanted Forest in Montreal which is in my top 5! The tech has intelligence built in to advance the game in a positive way that allows the players to experience the entire game even if they get stuck. I don’t want to post any spoilers, so I will just say the mechanic fits the game. We played as a pair and managed to do almost everything, but I would suggest team of 3-4 depending on skill level.
