We crushed the first puzzle in the top 5% (2:29 vs the average of 6:19). If you love books, adventure, and teamwork, this is a must-try. The ore room tested us with tricky math, but the clever object reuses and adorable hint system made it unforgettable. Minus one star for the discount situation. We had a Harvard student in our group and they only give students discounts for Berklee and MIT. I feel like any college student should get a discount. Also parking is non existent in this area but that seems to be the norm in Boston (please note we came from out of state to play this game).

By about 1 it was getting busier, and we sometimes had to wait for a preferred challenge. Morning is definitely the time to go.

It's clean and has so many challenge rooms to choose from with different activity levels, too! I wish more cities had places like this, because playing is so important, especially for families to do together. We had lots of fun with our youngest granddaughter who is 5!

It did get pretty hot inside while running around, so be prepared to sweat a little. We could see that the AC was set on 69 but the temperature was 78 so the AC may have been having issues. They also had some industrial fans to help cool it down. They provide free lockers but you can't bring a water bottle with you in the quest area. This was an awesome group activity that requires problem-solving, teamwork, and physical activity. We only paid for 2 hours but could have definitely stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Probably my one of my least favorite escape room of the many Ive done…read more We did The Red Wire room, ranked as medium difficulty but is definitely intermediate. Game master gave us hints over the loud speaker unprompted/unasked and spoiled the game multiple times for us. Like dude, just give us a second. An incredibly important unlock is done by pulling on the decor, which we were instructed not to do, so he had to tell us to do it. The climatic end puzzle didn't work because the technology didn't work. We figured it out, did it right but it didn't say it was correct. So we spent the next almost 10 minutes trying to figure it out a different way only to be told that we just needed to do it slower and we were correct. Like what?? To improve this room: 1. Provide paper (needed to keep track of numbers, if you did this room you know exactly what I mean) 2. Label it as intermediate the puzzle alone is reason enough but oh my god- I wouldn't spoil it because that's rude but there were multiple times that it was INSANE like the "" puzzle was actually the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. 3. Fix the tech or at least provide the needed info: If a code needs to be typed in slowly, say that. One of the code input screens you barely had the ability of a touch screen so you had to slam your finger into it. 4. If your room is so dysfunctional that your game master is forced to give unprompted hints, that's a sign to get back to the drawing board. What I will say is this game had two very impressive technical aspects, sadly they were part of two extremely difficult puzzles but still, impressive. Overall, for the hefty price and very high ratings this place has, we were extremely disappointed and honestly angry. We have done around 12 escape rooms as a group and have never been through one so dysfunctional and disjointed, with a Game Master who actively ruined our game but was also forced too at some points due to the room's issues. Thank god I brought some good friends so at least the company was enjoyable. Refund wanted for sure.

I went in with a big group and I think it was fun to do with friends, however I didn't like the…read moreroom itself. I thought that the puzzles weren't cohesive and there was no narrative, so we didn't really get what we were doing and why. The puzzles itself were fine, not that satistfying. We ended up having to do a puzzle but it was a waste of time because the lock for the key was already unlocked without it. If you need something to do with friends, it's a good option. Otherwise, I think there are more narrative and cohesive escape rooms elsewhere.

This was my first escape room experience so I don't have much to compare it to, but we had so much…read morefun that this was an easy 5 stars! We did "The Heist" (which I think is one of their easier rooms) with a group of 8 people--7 adults and one kiddo. The rooms themselves are really elaborate and I was surprised by how advanced all the tech was. There were so many different kinds of creative puzzles, and they were challenging enough to keep us on our toes but not so difficult that it got frustrating. You get as many hints as you need, with no penalty for using them. Your guide watches via camera and jumps in to help as needed, but we only ended up needing one minor hint the whole time. We finished in about 45 minutes of the available hour. I think a big part of that was having a bunch of grown ups in the room, it might be difficult for an all-kid crew, but maybe that's where the hints come in! I noticed that on the website some of the rooms (particularly during busy times) are "Shared" games, so if you don't want to be paired with strangers, make sure you fill your whole game! The person running our game was so nice (I think his name is Anthony!), making sure we understood how everything worked and joking around with us before and after we finished. All in all we had a great time, I would 100% come back!

I am a lover of escape rooms and generally rate them all highly. But I wish I could rate this one 6…read morestars because it was, start to finish, perfect. Actually, we extended the finish to do another room the very next day! I have a few key proprieties in game rooms, plus a new one on this occasion- can they accommodate a wheelchair? And the staff were so easy to communicate with in advance to help me find 2 separate options that were kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible to the point that the person in the chair could actually solve clues. It was heart meltingly wonderful. The games themselves- gold rush and timeliner- were unique and fun. There were options to work separately on several clues, but it was still somewhat consequential. I would say if half the group wasn't under 16 it would be meh to have 8 people. We finished in 45/60 minutes both times. Game runners really make an escape room experience and, particularly in our first room, the person was fantastic. There's someone watching you the whole time and can offer clues as needed (no penalty!) which subtly move you to the next step. Someone in my group asked if there was a scoresheet and while there isn't meant to be, our game runner just made one up and it was hilarious. They gave our youngest player a little stuffie since it was his birthday and wow. So above and beyond. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back with all adults for the more sophisticated-themed rooms.
