Medieval Madness

This was perhaps the worst game I have ever done. Immersion destroyed immediately upon starting the room. Un-intuitive and unfair puzzles. Pieces of the set were coming apart. Flow was very linear with puzzles not designed for the capacity of the room. Out of 6 people, several of us had nothing to do at many times. GM told us that the room is difficult because it is supposed to be their hardest one. I don't agree with designing puzzles and game flow to be tricky for the sake of difficulty.

My group did not enjoy this escape room. I would say that it's spooky/torture themed with some puzzles that imitated people's screams/cries. Some puzzles were audio clues that were hard to understand/interpret.

This room had a great set — it really immersed you in various elements of medieval times (be it torture or religion…or dare I say, what’s the difference? Just kidding!). I have to say, while some of the puzzles had some interesting interactive elements to them, the effects kind of fell flat. The logic for some of them just didn’t quite click and some things were worn out to the point where it made an additional barrier to solving what you needed. I think the experience did pick up in the latter half of it, with more straightforward puzzles that were simple enough to follow. Overall, I would have loved to see better logic and functionality for the first part.

Our game master Nick was awesome!! Truly and unforgettable experience. This room was so so cool!! Really cool props, puzzles, and story. A hard one but great.

The game leaned into the torture theme - don’t play if you’re squeamish. But, it was certainly a unique environment. Some of the props in the second act were so worn that the puzzles were almost broken. Overall a fun play.
