Sensology

Not really a puzzle room, more of an interactive game where you compete with others using your senses. I loved the concept and it delivered to my expectations. It took all different parts of your mind and body to complete all the individual tasks you're assigned. If you're at the GSR and want something unique to do that's not just gambling, I recommend this. I would recommend doing it with more than two people. We got finished REALLY fast!

Not an escape room, but escape room adjacent. Your team will work together to complete a variety of challenges that test all of your senses. My favorite was the completely dark room and I really did have fun with all the challenges. It doesn’t give you the same feelings as an escape room as there is no overall theme/story or set to tie things together and the puzzles/challenges don’t flow from one to another. You do a challenge in one room, return to your group room, then go do another challenge in another room, etc. That said, it was a lot of fun and I’d recommend people try it out.

So, Sensology isn’t really an escape room, it’s more of a pure puzzle game. The game master puts you in teams (if you have enough players, with two or three you’re just playing cooperatively) and the teams compete across 5 challenge rooms that test your different senses. The puzzles were cool and fit the theme of the game well, some of them I even thought would be a cool addition to some escape rooms. So, while it may not be an escape room by definition, it was certainly still fun, and I’d recommend it to families, beginner escape room players, and maybe even enthusiasts if they can overlook the “not escaping anything” part.
