The Nest [Immersive Theatre]

The Nest is an emotional rollercoaster that surrounds you with the ephemera of a person’s life as you experience the highs and lows of their story. In terms of puzzles, there’s maybe two or three interactions that qualify; however, if you are looking for a game, you’re missing the point. The set is abstract, ever-morphing, deeply immersive (smells, smoke, and a variety of intimate scenes), and yet truly easy to follow. Your next step is obvious, but the experiences that await you never are. The Nest marks a way forward for escape rooms: emotion catharsis and truly impactful lessons delivered through immersive environments and intentional interactions. This should really be saved for one person or a close couple. Leave groups for the escape rooms. You may cry. You’ll almost certainly feel something profound. You will definitely remember The Nest long after you visit.

If you like the video game Life is Strange you'll really like this room.

Once again, I am asking you to experience The Nest. There's not much to add that isn't already in the sea of glowing reviews. This is an immersive narrative experience that is only replicated in video games such as Firewatch (2016) or Gone Home (2013). Only it's actually real. My advice for bringing others is asking: "Would I play a single player video game with this person(s) on the couch?" I personally went solo as I formally created adventure video games and would be insufferable to anyone else. :3

What a beautiful moving story. It was so emotional and so incredibly immersive. One of my top new favorite experiences. Truly breathtaking journey.

All right-I won’t spoil anything! Promise. Go with the idea of a space between an interactive play or close up magic show and the pirates of emirates. There are clues along the way that tell a story and emotionally engage your senses. You shouldn’t read too much about this place, it can ruin what it’s meant to be like-unknown(ooooooo) So, I wouldn’t take a kid. I’d go with only one other person- and just be into it. The end is worth it alone!! I left satisfied and super glad I did it. Game master was engaging, nice and played the part well.

Not an escape room, like others have said, but it’s AMAZING. It’s meant to be an immersive theater with a few puzzles for interactivity. Would not recommend this for people looking for a rush of the hard earned escape. Only do it if you really care about story, & immersion. The set piece is amazing, the story was moving. Overall though it’s a must do for what it is.

We cannot recommend this highly enough. If you’re prepared to feel the story this will be an experience to take with you. Highly recommend.

Team of 4, it was a bit of a squeeze but we didn’t mind. It’s essentially a storyline-heavy escape room, there are no live actors. Great production - impressive use of set and gating with tools to control flow through the experience. Recommend.

While this is not an escape room per se, it was the most immersed that we’ve ever been in another world. Beautiful story. Completely immersive. Best production I’ve seen. Highly recommend!
