The atmosphere is amazing. The story is so good and builds intensity well. There are fun puzzles and unique moments. The only thing holding me back from a heart review was the pacing. We felt pretty rushed throughout the experience with hints, and were surprised when we had ample time to spare at the end. It felt like there was not a good balance of letting the team struggle vs getting us out quickly. I also think with the set design there could’ve been a few more puzzles. It is definitely worth playing.

MindTrap is always amazing and this is their best game! Fun! Engaging! Challenging but logical. Love this room. I especially enjoy the way the story drives the puzzles.

Favorite game of all time. I mourn the loss of Oz. Storyline was a unique twist. Every puzzle fit the world. I played it twice just to see the sets again. Truly a magical place.

Another great room! Not quite as charming to me compared to black and white cafe. However, it’s a ton of fun and has some great moments. Would recommend for 3-5 people groups. Always a great time here!

Timeless classic! Spooky with some scares but accessible to vast majority of people, even scaredy cats like me. Love the creativity of the entire game. Really stands out.

You’re a wizard, donkey! Beautiful room that stands out in a sea of HP knockoffs. Truly magical with unique puzzles and an immersive set design. Played it with a group of 3 experienced players and wished we had 1 more for the sweet spot. Such a brilliant game though, would recommend for anyone that loves magic or wizards or feeling like a powerful spell caster.

I am a Mad Rapper Stan. Everyone should play this game, right now. The story informs every aspect of the game. The designer’s love for hip hop and art are palpable in every moment. It’s just an all around great time.

I looooooove this game. So charming and fun. I liked that the story carried until the end. It is a great game for a small group. Adorable, creative, and unique. I’ve never played a game like it. Plus the staff and owners are extremely kind and passionate people.

RIP to one of the greatest games to ever be made. I remember leaving this game (chapter 1 & 2 back to back) and literally planning to open an escape room. I never did. But that’s not the point. This game was just so fun and immersive that it made me fall in love with escape rooms in a way i hadn’t before. It was my 55th room but it feels like it was just yesterday and not 2018.

Played this as #100 and the owners at the time made the experience very special! This room is a must play for haunted mansion / Disney Fans. There were a few puzzles my tram found frustrating in a not-fun-way, which is the only reason i haven’t thrown a heart on this. Besides those few moments, it’s an incredible game!
