Grim Stacks: Books & Binding

Was a fun room. Kind of outdated and generic but super fun

This room was decent. We got stuck on a puzzle and had to ask for help but didn’t get help for about 7 minutes. You can see this game from the outside which is cool. I would recommend this room.

This room is very clearly inspired by Harry Potter but doesn't quite nail it. I dislike multi-step cyphers for the sake of it and without any reason for them other than to make a puzzle more difficult. The ending of this room also fell flat. It should have been cool but the details around the room to reflect the ending just weren't obvious or noticeable enough. There are some minor tweaks they could have made to hit the mark better, which would have left a better impression of the room on me. Nothing in this room felt particularly special. One thing that made me feel extremely miffed is the fact that the location is on a main road and Grim Stacks includes windows that you can see through on both sides. This meant that we could see random passerbys and that random people on the street could see into the room and watch us solve puzzles or look extremely lost without much obstruction at all. This both ruins the immersion and causes distractions.

Absolutely loved this room!! Every puzzle was so fun and clever. The ending was so awesome and unexpected but it was such a good way to end a room!

Great look…fun Room to play with kids/Harry Potter fans. Easy puzzles.

The room was good. I do like magic themed rooms. Sets were great. One particular puzzle I felt wasn’t fair. (An obscure solution) but other than that well done.

Solo’d this room! The bookshop with the window was super cute. It’s the only escape room I’ve been in where there’s a window to the outside, but it fits so well. It would be cool if they utilized that in one of the puzzles but that’s just my out of the box brain thinking! It felt like a bookshop straight out of Harry Potter or something.
