5 escape rooms
Had a great time in this room at the Princeton location. The room definitely feels like a real pawn shop. Playing as robbers is a fun theme because you would never get to do something like this in real life. Went with a group that was a mix of beginners and veterans, everyone had a great time. Our game master Maya was so wonderful. She made us feel very welcome with it being our first time at this location. She explained rules concisely without dragging on too long, which was great considering some of us has heard the same speech so many times lol. I have been to other amazing escapes and it usually takes about 1-2 minutes to get a hint, which is fine. But with maya it was like 5 seconds max. And the hints were soooo helpful. Definitely coming back!! If you go, call and ask for Maya. Especially if you’re a beginner.
Gameplay
Gameplay was engaging. However, being a dark room. Some of the stuff was a bit unclear.
Atmosphere
Definitely felt like a dingy pawn shop. LOL.
Customer service
My GM was Maya who was so lovely and welcoming. I’ve been to a number of amazing escapes locations and she was by far the best game master I have had. She gave us hints exactly when we needed them with no delay! Love to see people who truly care about their jobs. Definitely booking another experience, possibly for my coworkers as well.
Particularly interesting or different
No
it wasn’t anything crazy considering it is an older room (I think they said it’s been there for 3+ years) but its a solid experience.
