📖 THE STORY
The cowboys, known for their red sashes have come to Tombstone 1881 to wreak havoc on the town. Can you get deputized and take down the group before it is too late?
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The theme and story were executed perfectly. Though simple, the story and room flowed together and had some great ways to incorporate us into it.
All the puzzles were clued well and had a good mix of everything, from puzzle type to difficulty to tech and non-tech.
The room was full of details and easter eggs from the events of Tombstone 1881, the inspiration for the room. If you follow along closely, names, maps and even some answers all had hidden meanings.
The ending was fantastic and was a neat way to wrap it all up.
A small but nice touch was the confirmation we got whenever we completed a tech puzzle.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
This game was fantastic with no major misses.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
"Tombstone" was a step back in time to the year 1881 when we walked in with the western theme décor from the saloon doors, western wallpaper, wanted posters and more. There were so many high points in the game from the well clued puzzles with great eureka moments, the historical images and references sprinkled throughout to the clever ending that tied the game together. The designer’s passion for the room is evident as we navigated through. We played with 2 adults and 2 kids and found it worked well as a family friendly room where the kids were able to solve some puzzles on their own and participate in a lot of it. Anyone who is into a western themed escape room or clever puzzles should absolutely play this room. We can’t wait to see what else Escape Legends has in store for the future. Yeehaw!
