This was our second room of our night with Escape Thrill, and our game master Anastasia. If you’re someone over the age of 13, and may be skeptical about the theming- do not underestimate this room. It’s non-linear puzzles are still as challenging as a room with a more mature theme, and was overall fun, and rewarding when you reached the prize on the other side of this room!
The gameplay was very fun, also non-linear, similar to their room Sixth Wave which we started our night with. Even though this room was fun, bright and overall family friendly. For three adults, the gameplay did become frustrating at times and lending itself to some not-so-family-friendly language- BUT, that was a good thing! 🤣
I’m not usually one for corny, brightly-colored rooms. But, I think the way that the folks as Escape Thrill designed this one is the way it SHOULD be done.
Bless our game master, Anastasia for putting up with us for the night. She was juggling several other rooms along with ours, but still did it with care and ease, and we appreciated her immensely for that level of premiere professionalism.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
When we first saw the theme of the room, I was a little skeptical, as I knew it was geared more towards family groups. But when we actually got inside I was surprised how much fun we all had!
The story was fantastic, themed around four toy characters, with distinctive colors and puzzles that you had to solve in order to access their secret dollhouse room.
I would place this one at a medium level of difficulty, easy for kids, but challenging enough for adults as well. Something to keep everyone entertained.
This room was a good mix of both, including one laser-mirror puzzle. But it was pretty analytical, a lot of math equations and hands-on activity more than anything else.
We were able to complete the room with a lot of time to spare for a room of 3 adults. But I would say if you have a larger group, or plan on bringing young kids, that it would still be accommodating.
This room was not scary, at all- think Big Comfy Couch, or Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.
I would say if you’re going to bring your kids, definitely make sure they’re at an age where they’d be cool with solving some mildly complicated puzzles and are okay with standing in the same room for extended periods of time.
Physically active
Not at all
I would say the only physical part is crawling through the secret door to reach the dollhouse-room on the other side, but there is a work around.
Accessibility
There is a work around available if you’re not able to fit through the dollhouse’s secret room door.
