Summary

  • Recommend 3-4 escape artists
  • Immersive AF
  • Low lighting
  • Challenging and tricky puzzles
  • Not good for beginners

After escaping several times from Maze Rooms, I began to see the vibe Maze Rooms has compared to other escape rooms like 60out. Personally, I feel that Maze Rooms has a more serious vibe and 60out escape rooms gas have a "playful" vibe. I'll elaborate more on these feelings as I do more escape rooms from these companies.

This room was one of the newest escape rooms at the time we booked it. I heard a lot of good things about it and suggested to my escape room group that we should check it out.

The room was very immersive and built very well. Maze rooms are known for their technology and this room had A LOT of it. I was a little confused about the story line but maybe I missed it. This escape room was a true non-linear/divide & conquer type of room. We found the puzzles to be VERY challenging. We encountered puzzles that used "timing". We felt that flow of the room was a little clunky and some puzzles felt unrelated to the escape room, however, I did feel like I missed something. There were some good red herrings in the room, so be careful!

This room was beautifully designed with a lot of hi-tech aspects. If you're looking for very challenging and tricky escape room. This is the one for you.

PS. Check everywhere!
