📖 THE STORY
A new family has just moved in next door. Polite and quiet, a few weeks later, they invite you over. After a couple of knocks on the door, you get no answers. Pushing it open, you step inside and say “Hello?”. Suddenly the door slams behind you. You need to figure a way out before the house decides that you are no longer allowed to leave.
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
There were clear instructions at the beginning, explaining the story but also making sure we knew how to navigate the rooms.
One room during the game wasn’t locked but would have the lights come on when it was time to go in, which added a neat effect to the flow.
There were a handful of creative puzzles that gave us some nice “aha!” moments when we solved them.
The set design was spot on, looking like an authentic house with some neat reveals along the way.
An in-game actor played a character to give us hints and guidance, which helped not break immersion through the game.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
There were some props that added to the room’s ambiance, but they stood out so much that we assumed that they were meant for a puzzle. At the end, we found out they were just for show and we’re even a little disappointed because some of those props would have made for some great puzzles.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
"House of Things" was a fun game with some solid puzzles. The décor of the rooms was on par for the theme, though there were some extra items that made us believe there were more puzzles around. Our group of 4 veteran players navigated the game quite easily but this would be a great room for 6 beginners to try out an escape room for the first time. With its solid, satisfying puzzles and casual challenge level, this would be a great lighter, enjoyable escape game.
ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
Free (but limited) parking
Small waiting room
At the time of writing this, there was a lot of construction in the area. Give yourself plenty of time to navigate as some streets were closed off. For parking, you would have to drive through the back alley and walk around to the front.

I was looking for information about creating an IN 999 Account, and this blog made the whole process much easier to understand. The guide for the IN 999 Account was written in simple language, so I didn't feel confused at any point. I appreciate that the article focuses on practical information instead of making unrealistic claims. Everything was explained step by step, which made it easy to follow. Thanks for sharing such helpful content. It's refreshing to find a blog that feels genuine and informative rather than overly promotional. I'll definitely visit again whenever I need more updates or useful guides.
