This was a fun game not only themed for the Stranger Things show but also a nod to 80s! I had teenagers in the room with me who didn’t recognize the old technology. It was nice to see some old items for my childhood. It’s a linear room easy-medium difficulty. We had a blast. The GM was very nice also!

I really liked everything about this room, the puzzles flowed well and while you dont have to know anything about stranger things it was themed really well for it. I brought a first timer along and while he was a bit lost we were able to include him because some things were easier with good communication.

The room flowed really well, everything seemed to mvoe on to the next fairly smootly

This was a great room with very collaborative puzzles. Even if you do not like or watch Stranger Things it has a lot of fun Easter eggs of 80s nostalgia. All of the puzzles were clever and interesting. We had two intermediate players and two novice players but everyone had such a great time! And the staff was amazing! They were just as excited as we were when we escaped.

I'm biased because I love Stranger Things and this did such a great job of making the room immersive and very 80s. Linear flow of puzzles really made it easier for our two-person team. Family friendly!

Gameplay

Linear flow, perfect for small group.

Great Stranger Things vibe!

We LOVE Cinema Escapes! This was the first escape room experience we had that set us on our path to do them ALL! The game masters are all AMAZING! Lorie is our favorite. The room was immersive, decor was on point. Puzzles were just difficult enough, and flowed really well. We had kids in our group, and it wasn’t too scary for them!

Our group had fun and we made it out with 12mins left. However the production value was lacking….the room smelled musty and it seemed like the owners put the room together with as little money as possible to open it.

Absolutely loved the room and how they incorporated Stranger things elements. Though the room and puzzles weren’t the most high tech, it still was a great experience. We had 5 in our group and I felt that was the sweet spot for this room. If you love anything Stranger Things I would highly recommend the room.

Ironically I had never watched Stranger Things when I did this room but it was fine even though I didn’t have any background or context. Now that I have watched the series though, it gives me a little more appreciation for the build and decor of the room! Creative and on point with the theme. We had a group of 6 and naturally paired off to complete different things, which was great. No hints for a group of escape room enthusiasts!

Super fun room whether you are a stranger things fan or not! The room was a bit suspenseful but nothing crazy. My team of 4 killed it with fun clues that took you back to the 90’s! You have to check out this room!
