Escape room

Atmosphere was really nice. I mean as soon as I walked in I loved it! They did great with that. The game flowed well, didn’t even need hints… until we got to the end which really left a sour taste in my mouth about this room, which stinks because it has so much potential. So naturally in an escape room you open everything up and use what you need. What you don’t use you either put it in a pile and/or drag it with you or what you have it, right? Well, we did that. So when it came to the final part to solve the mystery we couldn’t do it alone. There was waaay too much to remember. So I recommend they just make the effort to tell the players before starting to not separate things that they go through like bags, suitcases, etc. to leave everything where they find it… because if not the last and most important puzzle is impossible without a hint giving you the answer.

Mi esposo y yo hicimos este escape room hace más de un año y todavía hablamos de lo mucho que nos encantó. Fue súper inmersivo, único y divertido. También fue muy útil que nos mostraran antes del juego los diferentes candados y explicaran cómo se abren y todo. Muy buen servicio. Si regresamos a Bogotá lo volvemos a hacer, sin duda. Para mi fue la mejor sala de escape de todas… y eso que he hecho muchas, tanto en 🇨🇴 como en 🇺🇸.

I really liked the atmosphere! They did a really good job making it feel like a plane. I know some other people said you need outside knowledge to complete this escape room & I don’t feel that way at all. However, there were a few challenging & confusing moments, especially with one of the puzzles; it was unnecessarily challenging, honestly, and I would even say faulty. Even the game master wasn’t able to do it right when she tried showing us how to do it. It was nice to see the room just for the immersive atmosphere itself, but gameplay wasn’t the best and the faulty puzzle was enough to ruin the good stuff. Also ***semi-spoiler but not really ahead*** be aware of the fact that when you do something towards the end it opens up something unexpected all the way in the first room that you will need and you’ll have no way of knowing that 🤣 same with another step that suddenly makes something in the second room work, but you never know when. (3 rooms in total)

The escape room itself flowed very nicely and definitely had a creepy factor. Great decor, sound effects, and one really cool jump scare. It was very immersive and just overall such a great experience. I can’t decide between this room and Wrecked which is my favorite, maybe this one as I loved the creepy part. There are multiple rooms, different types of things to do/puzzles and whatnot some never seen before. Lots to do and have fun with. Such nicely decorated rooms. One other factor that is nice and I haven’t seen before is that if you’re slightly over the hour and close to getting out they let you finish and get out. You never feel rushed. At the same time if you like to know your time remaining it might be difficult for you because it’s not posted anywhere. I think their aim is for it to be more about the experience. The staff is GREAT! They tell a background story before the game that really gets you immersed into it and they are with you every step of the way at all times throughout the game. When we were going to ask for a hint they were already starting to nudge us. I mean, amazing. At the end they see if you figured out the whole story and if not explain it to you. **if you don’t want nudges when you’re stuck, let them know before going in!**

This room was a lot of fun! Immersive, great set design, nice game flow. There were some puzzles that I hadn’t seen before and they all fit in well with the theme. Our game master was also super attentive and helpful. Overall it was a good experience and I definitely will try other rooms at this establishment 🥰

Atmosphere matched what it should, had some cool elements that I hadn’t seen before but the puzzles not all as cohesive as I’d like. GM (there were two I believe): some confusion with a puzzle and not too attentive. It overall wasn’t my favorite. I think it could use a little improving!

There is SO much to do. I almost feel like getting out in an hour is nearly impossible haha. We actually had to do the room twice to get out 😝. Maybe it would’ve been easier with more than 2 people, but at the same time there aren’t too many things that can be done at once. Overall a fun room once you get into a good groove 🥰 fun ending too.

13th Hour Escape Room

The set was really cool! I definitely did get some of the horror movie vibes that others have mentioned, but I don’t agree with it being graphic/gorey. There was just a little bit of the gore factor, but barely anything. It was well put together, and a bit on the smaller side for the 13th Hour rooms, but still multiple rooms within itself. Overall it was a really fun, easy room. 2 experienced players and 2 non-experienced players and we got out in just under 40 minutes. I’d recommend this room for a group of 2-4. One complaint: at 13th Hour a lot of noise can be heard from others in the rooms next to yours. So, it can be distracting. You’ll also hear their hint sound go off and run to your hint board thinking it’s yours only to find nothing 😅

Great decor and immersion. If it’s your first room it might be a little challenging the idea of bouncing between rooms a bit but the GM will help you! There is lots to do and have fun with. One other factor that is nice and I haven’t seen before is that if you’re slightly over the hour and close to getting out they let you finish and get out. You never feel rushed. At the same time if you like to know your time remaining it might be difficult for you because it’s not posted anywhere. I think their aim is for it to be more about the experience. The staff is GREAT! They tell a background story before the game that really gets you immersed into it and they are with you every step of the way at all times throughout the game.

This room is so much fun, definitely unique, and everything fits in so well with the theme. There is sooooo much to do, two stories, lots of: doors to open, riddles to solve, codes to decipher and put in, locks, and there are puzzles you’ve definitely never seen before. It can be quite intimidating at first, and maybe even throughout. I mean, one of the workers let us know that it is their hardest room and it has 46! puzzles. So go with a group of 4-6 experienced players and don’t all focus on the same thing. Things can be done at once. We were a group of 4, just two of us experienced, and we made it out with only seconds to spare. It was very non-linear but everything just made sense after you thought about it… the props and overall setting were awesome. My one complaint is the same one I had for my other reviews here; there is a lot of noise from others in the rooms next to yours. So, it can be distracting. In addition, you likely will hear their hint sound go off and run to your hint board thinking it’s yours only to find nothing 😅
