Inside this video, there's footage containing some unusual experiments. You and your team are being sent down into the depths of the sea to uncover more information. As you descend, you realize that this mission isn't as easy as it seems... you're not alone! Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE Other than props like control panels, steel doors and a huge window to see through into the ocean, The Escape Game did a great job with sound and lighting that really made us feel like we've been submerged into the deep sea. One thing we noticed that a lot of the other submarine games we've played before would use are instructions. The creators of "Depths" balanced the design of this element really well as besides completing easy to follow instructions, many other puzzles actually involved solving. There was an interactive element towards the end of the game that was pure fun for the team and it wasn't too long of a repeat to become an annoyance. Even as a team of two it was easily doable. The Escape Game always keeps a storyline in mind. We do appreciate the surprising discovery towards the end and the slow reveal. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK One of the puzzles involved identifying photos with actual props in the room. The photos were confusing to match up as some felt inaccurate. One of the props used could be assumed as something that could not be solved until later on due to the clue that was provided early on. We had left this puzzle unsolved for awhile until we noticed that it's relevant to something else. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? As we played through "The Depths", the puzzles and storyline perfectly mimicked what would happen if we're really on a mission into the deep sea. How to access secret compartments, navigate the ocean floor and actually prepare for a sudden situation were all part of the excitements of this game. If you haven't tried this game yet, it's definitely a fun experience for beginners or enthusiasts. And make sure you watch out for some Easter eggs hidden inside the room during the creation process! ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO The Escape Game NJ is located inside the American Dream mall on the third floor Parking is free for the first hour and $5 unlimited thereafter.

Your friend Kasia has decided to travel across America. It was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime, but one day you receive a troubling message from her. Something strange is happening in the seemingly ordinary motel where she planned to stay for a few nights. Her passport has gone missing from her room, at night she hears unsettling noises coming from the room next door, and the motel staff are acting suspiciously. In a foreign country, Kasia is relying on your help. Will you manage to reach her in time and prevent a tragedy?

Overall, this is a wonderful escape room — very atmospheric and genuinely engaging, with a number of great puzzles and unexpected plot twists.

Reaching a chamber, you are taken aback by the sight in front of you; a pedestal with the Nexus subdued upon it covered in wires and cords, all hooked up to a briefcase. Coming out from the shadows reveals a familiar face with sinister motives. Telling you their plans for the Nexus and thanking you for bringing everything together, they move to complete the final assembly. Just as they touch the Nexus, a surge of energy erupts out of it and throws your nemesis back. Running to the briefcase, you survey the device inside just as the Nexus utters a warning, “Defense Protocol Activated”. 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ Written on the envelope you can find the exceptionally written story, a list of the contents, the QR code leading to the hints and the final outro video. Going through the contents, there were many paper items that included a paper briefcase, a dossier with protocols inside and a piece of the Nexus. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 If you have been following along, then you know that each chapter of season 2 included the dial that you found after each adventure. Now is the time to pull them all out and use them. Finally, being able to use the dials from all the previous chapters made it much more rewarding to come this far. One thing I do wish that was prefaced prior was not only did I need all the dials, but I also needed the Nexus from Chapter 12 in the previous season so make sure you still have that around. Reading the season finale story, I was immediately drawn to the entire game and excitement of it all. The flow of the game followed the typical set up of CCC games. There were multiple puzzles that could be done out of order, which would work nicely with a larger group. The dossier also clued how to proceed through the game, but they blended it impeccably into the story. Of the contents, the “briefcase” that was used was a nice touch to bring some realism to the game and some creative assembly make for an amusing tangible experience. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 There were different puzzles to go through including some logic, math and word puzzles, all with their own eureka moment to solve. One thing I noticed was that the difficulty level fit perfectly for this game. I was able to progress forward, sometimes at a slower pace but I found that I never got frustrated because I hit a point that I did not know where to look. The hint system for this game requires you to go to their website and for each puzzle, there are 2 hints before providing you with the solution. For this game, I found the hints to be straightforward. The nature of some of the puzzles did have me know what needed to done but I had to figure out how to do it. This game specifically could have benefited from an answer checker but I did find most of the puzzles were quite clear on the solution. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 "Chapter XXIV: Destination Pt. 2" was the ultimate wrap up to season 2 of Curious Correspondence Club. This was an amazing season finale game that hit all the high notes. The puzzle difficulty and flow were on point. All the puzzles eased seamlessly into the game and everything came together perfectly. As with the story introduction and the outro video, all of it was the same great quality as we have seen throughout. As someone who followed all of season 2, CCC played the long game with the dials in each envelope, and it paid off with an amazing experience. This is not a game you want to miss having come this far into the season. Being able to rest now, I am excited to see what CCC has in store for the future.

Yet immediately upon reaching your desk and ready to take a nap you are prompted with a case that involves a haunted mill where children and adults work under the power of a giant mechanical beast, The Red Lord. Is it the supernatural? Is it a corrupt system in hiding? All you know is that with three deaths already lying in wake, something must be done…Or you can take a nap and deal with it in the morning. You choose. Video above is property of The Mysterious Package Company 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ From the moment this package arrived on my doorstep, we already started to feel immersed in the story with a cardboard box stamped with “confidential” and a Post Mortem label. Inside the box was a beautiful faux leather file folder that contains two Penny Novels, a London Directory Notebook, The London Standard News Clipping, six evidence bags labelled A--F, a rules pamphlet, a box checklist, and a Ready-to-Solve Pamphlet. I have always admired the level of detail in MPC’s games and this game still accomplished that with the graphics, specialty printing, and very intriguing items hidden in the evidence envelopes. In addition, the narrative journey of the booklets is something a reader and mystery lover will absolutely adore with all the details and clues. Photo above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 Post Mortem is a murder mystery, choose your own adventure style experience. Unlike the initial Post Mortem games, The Ghost in the Machine does contain two books for the adventure so you will likely need to complete it in two sittings. Using the first Penny Novel (Book 1: Daylight) you start the experience by reading the introduction of the adventure. Using the Directory (which contains a list of contacts you can connect with by locating their lead numbers in the Penny novel), newspaper, and the story you are meant to unravel clues, verify suspects, and create a timeline to solve the crime. Along with the booklets are a series of evidence bags that will be opened only when you are directed to in the Penny Novel. As you read the story and follow leads you will be faced with choices to make. When in doubt, your personal contacts in the Notepad can be used for hints and guidance. On the back of the “Ready to Solve?” pamphlet has 6 questions. Once you feel you have the answers to those questions you can crack open the seal and read the epilogue to get your conclusion. My biggest piece of advice is to take notes. There is a lot of information that you will be piecing through and after the initial introduction this becomes an extremely open adventure. Don’t be afraid to back track and try new things with hopes of new outcomes. Sometimes you’ll come across pages that remark about something you need to have done before arriving to get another page so note it down for matter to come back to. This game is very heavy on logic and deduction but boy the story is JUICY! Note : This game does not have a hint system but there is a facebook group for players to join to discuss the case. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 Post Mortem is not so much a puzzle style game but, rather, a deduction game. You are given a series of six questions focusing on the motive and circumstances around these deaths. You are unravelling the story as you follow clues, look into suspects, and explore the surroundings. This game will ask you to take leads you find and adjust the numbers (add, subtract, reverse, etc) to find new locations and information or to unlock locations and safes. Things like pattern recognition, logic, observation are essential and you should be prepared to read a lot. This is a story first and foremost that you must arrange by following the clues. The key thing is to take notes and keep track of where you gathered information. You will likely have to backtrack to locations and pages, even across the two books. I found where I became stuck was when I forgot to note down a location and ended up having to backtrack the chronology of the story to find the source again. This slowed down my progress significantly. Note : make sure you are picking pages with intention as you can easily spoil things for yourself if you start reading from random pages. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 Set in a mechanised and grungy world of London 1894, " Post Mortem London Gothic" provides players with a large and complex murder mystery that truly lets you be a private investigator with the excitement of following the case, making choices on where to go, and unveiling evidence that helps guide you along. The story showed itself to be fascinating and rich which is what I have always loved in Mysterious Package Company. If you love mystery narratives this is an amazing blend of a tactile or reading experience that will leave you wanting more…and thankfully there are THREE other Post Mortem experiences out now to check out!

As a well known coroner you are being asked to review Christian LeClair’s body and case to provide a second opinion by the head commissioner. The answer lies within what truly happened that day leading up to his body’s discovery in La Promesse and you know people are hiding secrets…time to dig deep and find out why! 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ When the game arrives you will be created with a clean, matte cardboard box with the title emblazoned across it. Inside, there is an official internal memo to get you started, a police badge to remind you you are on the job, and a notepad and pen to help keep track. There is an instructions pamphlet that was an absolute joy to open up thanks to the detailed paper crafting of this company. Once you feel ready to begin the game you will have three case files to explore in order that contain witness statements, police reports, news clippings, evidence bags to assist you in understanding and uncover what happened on this day. A coroner’s handbook and evidence cards are the last thing to set aside as you unveil, peeking out from the body bag, is the paper corpse of our victim. It is at that moment you realise this game means business. I continue to find the level of detail in MPC’s games to be quite high and the amount of work that is obvious in the mix of paper styles, the design of the corpse, and even the instruction manual really draws in the player. It compliments the immersion that comes with uncovering the story so well. Photo above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 “Body of Evidence” is a murder mystery style game that mixes deduction alongside tactile body examination to help narrow down the suspect pool. Following a more linear structure, you are tasked with completing the game file by file. After you open your file you can begin examining the clues, reading the case notes, and when you feel ready you can open up the Coroner's Report which will prompt you to answer two questions after you complete different stages of the autopsy (ie. cutting open the body). The answers will direct you to one of the evidence cards and if the answer is correct it will match the pinboard lines across the card. It is important to note your task isn’t just to answer these questions as they will help you solve the murder but they will not provide the answer directly. There is an official timeline sheet for you to fill out that tracks the movements of the different suspects leading up to the murder. Filling this out will help the most. After you have completed all three case logs, the coroner’s reports, and can answer the final questions you can open the “Case Closed” red envelope which has an epilogue to finish up the story and provide a filled out copy of the timeline for you to check out. My advice while playing is to focus on the suspects and the timeline earlier on so you don’t need to spend too much backtracking. The evidence cards slightly mislead if you aren’t following the narrative closely (there are many reasons a body could have a bruise). Once you have the time line going you will feel more confident exploring and don’t be afraid to go back and review information! Note : This game does not have a hint system but the evidence cards provide an answer checking system. Essentially if your chosen answer doesn't match you know you are wrong. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 “Body of Evidence” is a murder mystery style game with no puzzles per se but a series of deductions and problem solving activities. I found the deduction element of the game to be fun as you’re cross checking testimonies of characters and their whereabouts. In this regard I recommend this game to groups as it gives you a chance to break up the suspects and debrief what you learn. I felt the cluing was well done here. One thing I will note is cutting open the paper cadaver is TRICKY. I recommend either being willing to just tear it open or to have a small scalpel type blade to help yourself. Even with the perforations it was hard to crack things open. Once inside the level of detail was engaging. I did wish the autopsy would give more towards solving but it was well scaffolded and added a new element to this game that none other had. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 Overall MPC’s first instalment in the “Body of Evidence” series boasts a new level to deduction games that engages audiences and immerses them more actively in the investigation. I found the story to be really well done and the ease of the information coming meant no one ever felt overwhelmed.

BUT... You're gonna need your final report card in order for you and your friends to leave for summer vacation! These final exams aren't like anything you've encountered before in class. You're in luck because you have friends that are here to help you to ace these finals!! Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE We first found out about "Playground" when we visited the Austin location to play " Gold Rush " and heard so many wonderful things about it. We were about to play it when The Escape Game New York City first opened up but decided on playing " Special Ops: Mysterious Market " instead since it was one of the few locations that had it (at the time). We finally had our chance to revisit the NYC location once they reopened (post-Covid) and it was so much fun. As soon as we stepped inside, we felt like kids inside of a classroom again. The decor was great and filled with props that contributed to the whole experience! The set design not only captured what's inside a classroom but an outside playground too (I just wished it was bigger!) The storyline was really unique and made the entire game entertaining throughout. The Escape Room company always manages to deliver a clever combination of both quality + quantity for those 60 minutes. One of the physical aspect of the set design reminded us a bit of Gold Rush again and it's definitely one of the unique props we've encountered in escape rooms so far. The puzzle challenges were fun to solve. We knew as soon as we walked in that there was going to be a lot to tackle so between the 2 of us, we hit the ground running. It was a great workout as I don't think we've sweat that much in a room before. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK The music that was playing in the beginning definitely kept us in the zone and we were crushing it. After 15 minutes, the music just stopped and I think it also affected some functions of the room as well so for some puzzles we were not "alerted" when certain items opened. Two puzzles in there were a bit confusing as it was expected to have an assumed knowledge of which direction to go. Certain props will be a challenge for people physically so pending on what you are able to do physically, you might not be able to experience the game as a whole. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? If you've ever been in a playground when you were a kid and started to create your own scenario challenges and obstacles to overcome, this is the room for you! This brought me back to school during those the last few days before summer started, eager with anticipation. We had so much fun as the adventure just kept on going! It's great for kids but adult would probably enjoy it even more. Ideally, 3-4 people would be perfect for this room. Don’t waste too much time at the beginning as there’s a lot more to do moving forward. See you on the other side!

The year is 1955 and you've been sentenced to life for a crime that you did not commit! Luckily, your cell was once occupied by an inmate who vanished without a trace. Rumor has it that he might've successfully escaped or he was murdered by the vicious warden. Are you able to break out of this prison with the clues left by the previous inmate? Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE You can read our reviews on other in-person games that we've played at The Escape Game - " Gold Rush ", " Special Ops: Mysterious Market ", and " Playground ". We've played so many prison-themed escape room games so we're always looking to see what innovative ideas would be incorporated into this one. This one was build to make us feel like we had to go through various obstacles to breakout from the jail cell to regain our freedom. We started off in separate cells. It was great to be able to think outside of the box and try to utilize what you can if you were actually locked up. Our favorite part was actually not following what we were supposed to do (mainly because I was too short and missed something that's further up) and was still able to use what we had and completed the mission. The set design was great. You definitely felt that dirty jail cell look and as we went on there were other surprises along the way. The high ceiling was pretty amazing. It really made us feel fully immersed in that atmosphere. The attention to detail was used on every single prop we saw. The combination of mental, physical, and cooperative puzzles was great and so much fun! The added in sound and alarm trigger definitely added the urgency for escaping. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK Two of the puzzles utilized the reading from left to right logic but we felt that it didn't quite correlate with the lock that we had to put it into. Cici accidentally guessed one of the codes and we were able to skip two puzzles and complete the game. It would be great if the codes could be changed to something a bit less similar to one of the other locks to avoid this from happening. If I had to suggest one thing that could've added the cherry on top, is a "wow" ending. The whole game was an adrenaline rush and the intensity increased as we progressed further. With that said, I wish there was more of a conclusion in the end for our mission objective. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? If you are debating on which prison-themed escape room to play out of the hundreds that are out there, we high recommend this one! "Prison Break" was the complete package of what an immersive escape room should be. The combination of physical & intellectual puzzles was implemented quite well from beginning to end. The set design had that signature quality that's expected from The Escape Game. *If you can't travel to The Escape Game location right now, this game can be played remotely over Zoom at the comfort of your own home: BOOK 🔎 HINT Toss it in!

This one is right in the center of Austin’s downtown and it’s surrounded by restaurants and hotels. It would be difficult to find parking on the streets, but they do have a parking lot right above their location (Austin Convention Center parking garage). The lobby is spacious and can easily accommodate a large group. Currently, they have 5 games at the location: “Gold Rush”, “Prison Break”, “The Heist”, “Playground” and “Classified”. We had the opportunity to peek into all of their rooms (sneak preview on our YouTube video) and chose to do the “Gold Rush” today. Our storyline begins at Clyde Hamilton’s cabin in the woods. He’s a greedy gold prospector who loved to gamble and now he’s lost a lot of money and is in trouble with the mob. He stashed his gold in this cabin and we needed to find the gold before the mob does! The set design was amazing in this room! From the lighting to sound, we felt immersed right away. The cabin's design and props used were very authentic. We love the multi-level feel of climbing up to the cabin and entering into the home. There was one puzzle we were not great at and the game master actually had to come in to assist. If there was a way where that could be avoided and the hint system was enough to bypass it, that would have better the experience. Also, we noticed one object was quite high for my height so it would be good to have a tall person in your team as I would have had difficulty reaching it without stepping on something. There were a lot of “wow” moments in the room that we can’t express without spoilers, so you’ll have to go and experience it yourself. The room design was also really cleverly engineered as it made me feel very “déjà vu” when we returned to where we started. The production quality felt “amusement park like” and we didn’t want it to end! This room could be enjoyed for all ages, but you’ll come out feeling like a child again. It was refreshing to see new ideas and props being utilized in an escape room. We can’t wait for the NYC location to open and try one of their games there!     Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

Liked how the logic deduction puzzle was intertwined with visual effects. It’s something we haven’t seen before. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK One puzzle was a bit confusing with the way the map was drawn. It was hard to give clues for that. We wish that there was a better way to hint it rather than just giving the answer to us. Perhaps adding a puzzle during the visual segment could also make the game a bit different than some of the ones we’ve seen as the transition did take some time. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? If you appreciate aesthetics of a beautiful set designed room, you will love this. It’s hard to find originality with many escape rooms building similar themes so this was very exhilarating to see. Ideally, 3-4 people would be perfect for this room but it’s definitely doable with 2 people as well. Don’t waste too much time at the beginning as there’s a lot more to do moving forward. 🔎 HINT Look up!

We kept hearing amazing things about it from our friends and in the end, we couldn't resist the temptation. The Escape Game had always been one of our favorite escape companies. Their Gold Rush won our " Bullseye Award " last year. From customer service to set design to puzzle creativity, The Escape Game had always made the experience felt seamless. The "Ruins: Forbidden Treasure" was no exception. We were enjoying our tour with the captain of Skyward Tours when his plane suddenly malfunctioned. When we woke up, we were inside the wreckage of our plane. This was where our journey started. Right away we're amazed by the finishes of this area. It felt like a "Disney" type of quality. As we ventured deeper into the jungle, more surprises arose. The detailed carvings on the temple, growing vines and cracks made the temple felt so real. Even though we're looking at it on camera, the lighting and special effects still wowed us. There was a point in the game we had to pause and stare at the screen and said "Wow...Did that just happen?" There was a lot to do in this game. With the 2 of us and no hints, we finished the game with about 5 minutes left. If you are a experienced player, a group of 4 would be perfect. Currently this game is only being offered at their Nashville location for live play. It may be a long wait for it to be installed at other locations due to COVID. We highly recommend playing this game even if it is through the remote experience. They did a great job of transforming the puzzles to an online version. Other than envying the avatar throughout the game with physically being there, we were fully satisfied with this journey. We definitely left with a priceless treasure at the end and that was our happiness! (If you do decide to try this game, please remember to let them know that you heard it from" ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

Videos/ Photos provided by The Escape Game Company: The Escape Game Game: Truth Seekers Remote Adventure Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Remote Escape Room 🗣 Genre: Sci-Fi Date Played: 10/22/2020 Difficulty (based on 7 players): 3/10 Size of Team: Up to 8 players (You'll could be paired with strangers) Time: 45 Minutes Price: Free (October 23rd through November 18th) In celebration of the " Truth Seeker " show that will be premiering on October 30th on Amazon Prime Video, The Escape Game created this 45 minute remote escape game that you can play from the comfort of your homes for free (for a limited time). We are big fans of Simon Pegg and a series with a paranormal story line was just icing on the cake. We were excited to be invited to attend the VIP preview event for press only. As we've done many games by "The Escape Game" (both at their physical location and remotely), we are very familiar with the format of their game design and operations. This one was no different than the others. We were given an intro video by Elton and Gus informing us that we must help them to restore 6G signal at a museum in Meymouth and recover the artifact (Praecepta Mortuorum book) that's causing the disruption. A separate inventory portal was given to us to be used alongside the Zoom video feed. Our game host Kyle was in charge of keeping the inventory portal in order for us. Any item that needed a closer look was put into the inventory and anything we've used already or was no longer needed were removed immediately. There was also a game guide that acted as our agent in the field. We are able to inform him/her on what was needed to be examined, opened, closed, etc...You can even hear some of the characters from the series talking to you throughout the game! After successfully gaining access to Dr. Peter Toynbee’s office, we were given a 360 view of the room. This 360 view was also able to be accessed in the inventory system. This allowed players to be able to search and solve different puzzles at the same time. The puzzles were not too difficult and we had a nice flow throughout the game. Our team proudly finished in 26 minutes and 23 seconds. Normally we like to keep remote play to 4 people as it could get confusing with people talking over one another but since this is a free event, The Escape Game is allowing booking for up to 8 people per game. In this case, it might help to designate a team leader to shoutout the codes. If anyone has played " The Heist " remotely before at The Escape Game, you might be at a slight advantage with solving puzzles in this game. The set design and puzzles were redesigned with different props to fit the story line but you'll definitely recognize the secret doors and areas that would have unlocked in "The Heist" game. Regardless you should still take advantage of another well orchestrated adventure by The Escape Game, especially when its FREE! Since we haven't watch the series yet, we're unsure of the Easter Eggs that were put into the game but I'm sure we'll be on the lookout when we watch the show on Oct 30th! *** We regret to inform this game is no longer available for booking but check out other games on their website*** (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

Videos/ Photos provided by The Escape Game Company: The Escape Game Game: 49ers Unlocked Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Digital Escape Game 💻 Genre: Mystery Date Played: 3/4/2021 Difficulty (based on 4 players): 4.5/10 Size of Team: Unlimited (1-4 pp recommended, ages 12+) Time: Unlimited Price: $10.00 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 It's a really important press conference day for the 49ers. Just before the conference, they noticed that all their precious trophies have gone missing. The entire team is counting on you to solve this mystery (especially the legendary Jerry Rice)! Don't let them down! 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 This game was designed on the same interface as the previous TEG Unlocked series that we've played. Since each purchase is good for a single login, it's best to host this game over Zoom (if you want to play with a team). Each player will need to create an account so that if they couldn't finish the game, the progress will be saved. Playing on Zoom allowed us to keep each player updated in terms of which puzzle was solved and what code was used so we could progress at the same time. Your team will analyzing the clues on the digital platform to solve puzzles. Every time when a right answer was submitted, a new set of clues would reveal themselves. The interface was quite easy to use. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 Since this game was designed with 49ers fans in mind, a lot of puzzles revolved around players names, jerseys, stadium set ups, trophies, lockers etc...As a theme it felt a bit less exciting for non football fans. Once we unlocked the first part of the story, we're given a few puzzles where we could divide and conquer. It's best to explain all the puzzles to your team before entering the solution so everyone could be on the same page. A few of the puzzles were really easy and then there was one deduction puzzle that was quite tough. Not knowing some terminologies of football definitely confused us. We were unsure of offense versus defense players and the wording was quite confusing. I'm sure with prior knowledge for football this could become a much easier puzzle but we definitely struggled on it for awhile. Good thing there is a hint system along with solutions build into the interface. 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 I would probably recommend this game mainly for fans of football, especially 49ers fans, This is a great way to test your knowledge about football and be able to relive some of the incredible historical moments of the team. You might also notice a few artifact pieces from the official 49ers Museum. Most importantly, you might get to "meet" the legendary Jerry Rice himself. This is your chance to show them what true fandom is all about! 𝔼𝕊ℂ𝔸ℙ𝔼𝕋ℍ𝔼ℝ𝕆𝕆𝕄𝕖𝕣𝕤❜ ℙ.𝕀.𝕤❜ 𝕋𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕤 Craig H. I was really nervous as it was my first time playing the game. I did enjoy the game and it was fun but it was a little difficult to work out the puzzle about football. I also think we also work good as a team to be able to do the game. I would recommend people giving this room a try and it was still lots of fun. I would do another escape the room game again at some point. ______________________________________________________________ Helen B. I live in England and know very little about American Football, so was a little dubious, but from the off, I thought this was a slick, high-quality experience. It starts with a video so again headphones for players is recommended, or just one player plays it aloud for the rest, but you will all have to go through the video scenes. It's a game where you all play through separately so faster players can rush off and solve everything if you don't agree to work together and wait. After the introduction, we had a very fancy interface where we could go into various resources (like a files inventory but already stocked with helpful items). Certain areas are locked, so you are led nicely through the game to the right area. Right off the bat though I must say without giving too much away that there is something you have to do that non-US based players might be at a disadvantage for. There is a very nice mix of puzzles as you progress - some mathematical, some sound-based, codes and maps. We solved most without too much trouble, but one puzzle where you have to seat players around a table according to a set of rules absolutely foxed us. Two things caused an issue. One is the definition of the word "opposite" in the rules versus what we believed "opposite" should mean, and secondly, it does require a good knowledge of what positions in American Football are what. We really did struggle with this puzzle and found we ended up having to take the hints and find the answer in frustration. I was also discovering that every time I reset the puzzle to try again, it was glitching with some of the shirts ending up duplicated, so although the shirt might be in the spot for player 37 it actually had 42's details on it as well as the actual one. I was still able to complete the puzzle but it made it more complicated! Apart from this puzzle I found it a very enjoyable, interesting and balanced game and was glad that it didn't rely too heavily on football knowledge, and for a fan would probably be a wonderful exploration of the team and its history.

Photo is property of The Escape Game Company: The Escape Game Game: Rugrats: Search for the Losted Toys Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Remote Escape Room 🗣 Genre: Adventure, Fun Date Played: June 11, 2021 Difficulty (based on 7 players): 5.5/10 Size of Team: 4-8 players (min 4 pp booking on weekdays and 5 pp on weekends) Time: 60 Minutes Price: $35.00/pp (Limited-Time game) 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 While Angelica was pulling a prank on her friends by hiding their bestest toys, she also managed to misplace her own doll, Cynthia! Now it's up to you and the rest of the gang to team up and find their losted toys! But you must do this before Grandpa Lou wakes up from his nap! 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 As our group met with the game host over Zoom, we were given a short debrief on how to use their build-in inventory system and a video intro of the backstory. It was so much fun to see and hear all the familiar faces from the show (Angelica, Chuckie, Tommy, Susie, Kimi, Lillian, etc...) before the game. After the video ended, we were greeted by our avatar in front of a super colorful kitchen that just screams FUN! Being that this is an escape room and we're supposed to be a bunch of babies, everything was locked up with child proof locks. We're able to ask our avatar to start searching for items right away and whenever we found something useful, it'll pop up in our inventory instantly. This really made the game play really smooth as some players were searching items with the avatar while others were solving puzzles by utilizing the items that we've already acquired. The host was also able to remove items that we've used in real time from the inventory. Whenever we found a losted toy, a light would lit up. This was a nice tracker to know how many toys were still left to be found so we knew how to manage our time. Since our team was made up of mostly reviewers and enthusiasts, we finished with approximately 18 minutes left on the clock. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 If you've played their " Playground " escape room IRL before, you might recognize some similarities in the set design and puzzles (although I would say at least 70% was changed). Even though this may seem like a kiddy room, there's actually a lot of puzzles waiting to be solved. There was a good amount of "search and find", trivia crossword puzzle, secret reveals and more. At one point you may need to dial a US number. If you are playing from another country, have the GM just play the message for you. We really loved that they stuck to the theme and everything used in the room was tied with the Rugrats' characters and stories. Our GM was a trooper. This room required a good amount of moving around and a final puzzle that I've tried in real life with Brandon as a team of two that we felt exhausted by the end. I wish they could have translated this to an interactive type of puzzle into their inventory system so that we could play along with the avatar instead of watching her. This puzzle took some time to complete since the avatar is just one person so make sure to leave enough time for the end puzzle. 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 This game was created by The Escape Game in collaboration with Nickelodeon to celebrate Rugrat 's 30th anniversary. We were invited to attend the press conference game before the game opened to public. I was super excited since I've been a fan of Rugrats ever since I was a kid. It was nice to be reminded about how fun these babies could be once again. What better ways to do this than an escape room? We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would recommend this to anyone (even if you have no idea who the Rugrats are). If you so happen to be in Las Vegas, NV or King of Prussia, PA, then you're in luck! You can play this game in real life! As Angelica would say: "Are you ready to find my toy? You dumb babies!" *** We regret to inform this game is no longer available for booking but check out other games on their website*** (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

Photo above is property of The Escape Game Company: The Escape Game Game: Space Race | Mission: Mars Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Digital Game w/ Live Host 💁 Genre: Sci-Fi Date Played: June 19, 2021 Difficulty (based on 5 players): 5.5/10 Size of Team: Up to 7 Players (Recommended ages 13+) Time: 60 Minutes Price: $28/pp 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 Your ship suffered from severe damage when you landed on Mars. Other than this issue, the radiation level is rising, communication with Command Deck hasn't been successful and you're working with an outdated android! Will you and your team be able to repair the ship in time to escape from Mars? Video above is property of The Escape Game 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 We were greeted by our lovely GM, JD on Zoom. He gave us clear instructions on how their online interface works before sending us off on our mission. Our game started with an intro video from Command Deck followed by instructions on how to use the interface. Our GM stayed hidden on Zoom but would pop in anytime we had a question or needed help with a technical issue. Everything worked quite nicely except for two things which the company is currently trying to resolve: 1. You'll need to refresh the screen from time to time if a certain action wasn't updated 2. The interface is currently too big to fit on one page so you'll have to drag up and down in order to see the video, map, chat and inventory. Most of the time, we just used audio communication through Zoom but the option of having the chat box in the interface was a nice add feature so we don't have to toggle back to Zoom's chat in order to pass notes to each other. This game is a point-n-click style cooperative game where you work together as a team to solve all the puzzles. If one player opens a certain lock, it'll open for everyone. Since there are times where multiple puzzles are opened up at the same time, you might miss out on how some of the puzzles were solved. It might help for the company to provide a debrief (walk through) at the end of the game with the players. The interface will indicate the active puzzles with a blue lock, solved puzzles with a green check and locked puzzles with a red lock. Most of the time if a solution was correct, we'll be awarded with a prerecorded video. At times the team also had to make decisions by voting. We almost had a split decision in the game which could have given us a bit of a different storyline. Since the urgency of the situation made some of our teammates felt like they needed to play this game in a competition mode, we escaped with 27 minutes and 24 seconds (New record!). We didn't get to try the various optional videos that was in the game as we've mostly chosen the right choices to proceed. I would have loved to see those hilarious videos from HAL, the android. If The Escape Game can make these optional videos available for the players to watch after the game ended, that would be fantastic. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 Most of the puzzles were not difficult but more concentrated on team building. There's a lot of "pay attention to details" to retrieve codes or discover symbols etc...Communication was definitely key in this game. Some puzzles actually needed more than one player to complete. At times it felt like a few dominate players would be doing most of the puzzles and others were just watching. It would be great if there could be assigned roles where only that certain player is able to interact with those puzzles but the other teammates can contribute their ideas. We really enjoyed all of the puzzles and the unique way The Escape Game was able to incorporate videos to narrate the game. As we repaired one section of the spaceship, we were then allowed into other areas and so forth. 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 For enthusiast that are quick with puzzles, they might feel that the price could be a bit steep per person due to the fact that there's a GM hosting the game. I would love to see The Escape Game have an optional for a non hosted game so they could play at their own leisure. For players who are not familiar with digital style escape games and need assistance with tech, I would definitely recommend the GM version. This is a very polished and entertaining game. We wouldn't expect any less from The Escape Game being that we're big fans of their production. The video qualities were amazing. We literally felt like we're on a spaceship on Mars. The audio was very clear as well so it made the experience felt very real. These videos were actually made from their real life room "Mission: Mars". I would be very excited to play this room in person one day!

Video above is property of The Escape Game 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 At the start, our game hosts welcomed us enthusiastically into the zoom call. After some small talk and a few survey questions to break the ice, we were all sent to different breakout rooms and played the games which was led by your designated game host. Each breakout room had about 4 to 6 people in them. Everyone in the same breakout room are on the same team and must work together to play through the games and challenges. Along the way, there were a few bonus games that got us bonus points. There were certain achievements and badges that could be earned along the way as well. After all the challenges were complete, we were all sent back into the main lobby and the scores were tallied to determine the winner. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles were quite accessible to everyone as they were challenging enough for veteran puzzle players but also could be solved easily by beginners. There were rebuses, code cracking, Tribond style puzzles and some logic puzzles. Since we played the holiday edition, all the answers were related to Christmas and holidays. A small tip though is that there were a few answers that were not directly related to the holidays but things that were more related to December. The hosts were also gracious enough to nudge us along the way and even give us a subtle confirmation nod that we solved them without needing to ask for hints. Photos above are property of The Escape Game 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 The enthusiasm of our game hosts were contagious and they did a fantastic job keeping everyone excited and engaged. This was an entertaining game and even though we played it as a team building event, this can easily be set up with a large group of friends at home. They also offer a regular version of the game that runs the remainder of the year. Playing this game as a team building event for work, everyone was talking about it for the rest of the day about how much fun they had.
