(The building also houses an escape room, though I haven't experienced that yet.) The building itself is incredibly unique, with a spooky history that adds to the atmosphere. They also have a really fun, thoughtfully curated cocktail menu! Between our visits we've tried at least six different cocktails, and every one has been delicious. I also appreciate that the pours are generous. On our second or third visit, we figured there couldn't be a better place for some entertainment-only tarot readings. I brought my deck, and it was such a fun experience reading for friends in a historic old mortuary! Street parking is available right in front of the building. We've always been able to find a spot nearby without much trouble. I'd definitely recommend stopping in for a drink and soaking up the atmosphere!

I'm torn between a 3.5 and a 4 on this one. It's a cool location with great ambience. Although we…read moredidn't try the food or drink, it looked good and I'd love to come back and try it. Having done a number of escape room in the past, I love that this place felt a bit more quirky and independent than some of those more "corporate" type rooms. This will be spoiler free here. We booked "The dreamscape". There was a puzzle that must be solved in the common hallways, using a prop, before you can enter the actual room. This was kind of neat but also served to bifurcate the experience. Outside the room and inside the room didn't really feel connected. It felt gimmicky and like busy work. I mean it was a neat way to enter the room in concept, maybe they could connect the two experiences better. Inside the room, the puzzles were very "station" oriented. You could complete the stations in any order to ultimately succeed. This was also different from other escape rooms I've been to that are very linear with one clue leading to another. This one was basically just a series of independent puzzles to solve. The difficulties varied, from very easy and immediately solved - to kind of overly complicated that really required you to think like the puzzle creator. You know how sometiems in a puzzle room when you get stuck and have to hit the button for help? Then you get the answer and you're like "that's genius? how cool?" or "I never would have thought of that! that's brilliant". It wasn't like that here. First, pushing the help button didn't really result in actionable help. As all the different "stations" were in use by members of our group, the cryptic and esoteric help tended to be just general, and not on the specific place and station we were stuck. Second, when getting the help and actually solving something it was like "really? that doesn't make any sense. How on earth would anyone do this on their own?". Overall, the family wants to go back. I liked the ambience and the eating options. I didn't really care for the communal outside-the-room experience. The particular room we chose is among the least favorite rooms I've ever done (the best one ever being the Harry Potter elder wand room over at Trapped Puzzle rooms - which I believe is a sister location of this business). So I would recommend the Lodge of Lazarus Crowe overall, but this particular adventure was a swing and a miss for me. Didn't particularly enjoy the theme, the designs, the puzzles, or the lack of clues when we needed them.

The room was tricky but not overwhelming which I enjoyed. We knew what we needed to solve but had to work together to figure out how to solve it so we always had a direction to work towards which was a different experience for me in comparison to other escape rooms. I would definitely go back & try out another one!

Escape rooms are always different and the best of them have a wide variety of types of puzzles that fit different skillsets of the players and keep them a little off-guard. Missing Pieces did just that, with some very unique puzzles that took all of our collective effort. We escaped and had a good time doing it, and that's a success.
