Cool game. Did this with the second part, but you don't need to do them in order, and the story connecting them isn't important. There is interaction with actors, especially at the beginning, but it was fine. Progression through the story was cool with different elements as you went.

Was anything broken?

Yes

I remember that there was something meant to be released by a magnet. I found it by feeling around. I promise I didn't use force (I'm sometimes overly concerned about it), but I was able to retrieve it with almost no effort.

Live actors

Yes

A good amount of interaction at the beginning, and some during the first part of the game. It was fine, though it didn't really enhance the room for me.

A solid game with some tough puzzles and good design. The actors set the stage in the asylum which is very well done. Not as scary and a bit easier than part two (playtime).

Good flow. Always knew what we were working on.

Everything at lost is great. This room is part of a two part series that can be played in any order. Love the actor at the beginning but they stay out of your way for the rest. Great intro into the room. There is one puzzle I refuse to believe anyone gets without a hint. It’s logical it’s just hard to see.

We had a long exhausting drive from California and I wasn’t sure we would escape this one, but we ended up with the fastest times of the day! This is probably the most immersive room I’ve done interacting with a live actor. The way you’re brought into the room was fantastic. It was like a rules video but delivered as a live theater performance. The puzzles were fun and can be familiar with enthusiasts. The puzzles kinda started a little linear and then non-linear towards the end. Chris was our host and deserves an Oscar for his role as Cookie. The name of this room suggests it’s scary but it really wasn’t. If you decide to do this room, make sure you do Playtime part 2!!!

Gameplay

I’m still trying to process what happened. There was a lot of momentum.

Atmosphere

The production quality was amazing. Some things may need precision and accuracy but will feel finicky. You just have to make it work!

Customer service

Our two hosts, Chuckles and Cookie, made this experience worth it. We had so much fun interacting with them

Did this at Halloween time with live actors and it was AMAZiNG!! Super smart and clever puzzles. The designers really made a solid experience and the decor is very well done! One of my favs!! Do this room as a two part experience to the other asylum game as the stories connect in a cool way!

This was a good time. I love feeling like someone is coming to get me. The puzzles were completely linear so it allowed us to break up and solve multiple puzzles at once.

I am still swooning over this place. I have been to over 80 escape rooms easily by now and my experience here was next level simply because of the staff. RUN here do NOT walk

  • Hint system was an integral part of the experience. It [made] it more than a collection of puzzles.
