📖 THE STORY

You are all hanging out in Monica’s apartment doing your usual thing when Marcel the monkey decides to lock you all in. You all have places to go, things to do and people to see so you and your friends need to stop being on a break and figure out how to get out of here. This is the one where you are all get locked in the apartment.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• If you are a fan of the TV series "Friends" (Fun Fact: Brandon, co-founder of ESCAPETHEROOMers, was featured in the "Friends: Reunion"), you would love the décor of the room. The apartment was spot on with the coloring of the room to the design of the kitchen to the furniture placement. We were very much in Monica’s apartment.

• There were many fantastic easter eggs and fun trivia from the show. Each puzzle also incorporated these fun tidbits as well.

• The puzzles promoted teamwork as certain elements needed communication from different areas of the room.

• All the puzzles were solid with a wide range of variations. Each of them were signposted well to point you in the right direction into what you needed to solve them.

• We used the phone many times to get clues as we found phone numbers. One thing they did well that other escape rooms need to implement is that the phone would automatically play the audio clip loudly over the speaker phone vs. having only one person hear it and try to convey the message to the group.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• All the other locks were done in a way that you still needed to solve the puzzles to get the solution but there was one puzzle that if you knew your Friends trivia, you could bypass the puzzle and solve.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"BEST FRIENDS" was an entertaining escape room that was fun for the whole family. With the very recognizable décor and enough puzzles for all to work on and discovery, we had a great time exploring everything. This would be a great room with a large group of beginners getting into escape rooms or even a small group of enthusiasts. There were a lot of puzzles to solve to keep us busy. The room was big enough that it could fit all 7 of us without feeling too tight. Try this room out if you are fans of the TV series, Friends or are one who enjoys the feel of normal padlocks. Even with no tech, this room provided much enjoyment. Could this escape room BE any more fun?
