Storyteller's Secret

best escape room i’ve ever done

We blew through the game with a team of 4 people. We've never been that fast in an escape room, we usually barely escape.

It's inside a building. Had to call them and ask where is it.

It's in Boston proper so parking was a pain.

A beautiful story, told through unique puzzles and challenges that was unlike any other experience I’ve ever had in an escape room. It had a great flow and kept us working hard!

This was more than an escape room. It was transportation to another place. The rooms, music, lighting- all of it was purposeful and perfect.

Like many others have said, this was unlike any other room I’ve done. It was the telling of a story, not a rush to escape a room, diffuse an explosive, find a cure or any of the other typical escape room experiences. It was truly unique and quite frankly incredible.

The story was so good that I want to read the imaginary book that this imaginary author wrote in this imaginary scenario. I am all in.

Some bending and reaching. Parts where you need to listen carefully. Some areas were dim but not dark.

2-3

They have a neat feature to real-time change the length depending on how well you're doing

Beautiful execution of high tech that felt mechanical, not just a bunch of screens

Couple time you need someone who can get on their knees to grab/interact with stuff

Color Blindness, hard of hearing people will have issues

It's downtown Boston. Take the T.

This room is very novel (pun intended)! The game asks you to be creative and learn the world, then it asks you to build on what you know and make new connections. The scaffolding is so brilliantly handled. Everything about the room feels whimsical and magical. For groups that work well together and are comfortable with puzzles, the only issue is that the game can be solved too quickly.

This is akin to an interactive Disney attraction! It’s beautiful, fully realized, and deeply immersive. The props are all bespoke, which makes the room so unique and gives it its personality. The unlocks and opens and reveals feel like magic, and the music, audio, and atmospherics all support the story and the puzzles.

Our GM was a little awkward, but another member of the staff after the experience was really nice. Nothing above and beyond, but it was overall positive.

The degree of creativity that runs throughout this room is a rare and wonderful thing.

A simple story told in a lighthearted, creative, beautiful manner. The puzzles and props all directly supported the narrative.

For groups who know what they’re doing, the 75-minute run is absolutely a joke. That said, the puzzles do require a lot of creativity and abstraction at times.

You won’t find a single traditional lock here! In fact, the game is so high-tech that you’ll get a score card at the end of the game that tells you your time for completing each puzzle, as well as how you compare to all others who have played the room.

There is a puzzle that involves color, though I (a person afflicted with color blindness) had no issue distinguishing the colors. There is one prop that requires close listening. Mobility issues should not be an issue, though maybe a few puzzles are too high up for those who use wheelchairs.

Hidden in the basement of a huge corporate building with no obvious signage and only a paper taped to a window to indicate where they are.
