TL;DR- A fantastic owner, a great location, and some rooms that really show off potential for…read morestorytelling and tech integration. All at a price point that won't leave you scratching your head. My wife and I came here to wrap up our anniversary escape room tour and absolutely had a great time. We were immediately welcomed by the owner who struck up conversation about how they just opened recently, what they're working on, and some of the neat little features that they're implementing as part of the Escape Room Passport program that a lot of other New England escape rooms are starting to do recently. Super enjoyable and warm to talk to, like most owners in the escape room community seem to be. The prices are right on par with others in New England at $25 a head, though I did LOVE the option for a little more (+$5\person) to make the room private. That's a feature that not many others offer, and gives great flexibility to people wanting to give these types of games a try in a more private atmosphere, without worrying if you'll be grouped up with strangers in the room. The room itself was really fun. Clues were clear, and flowed into each other nicely. There weren't red herrings typical of big box or amateurish rooms that artificially inflate escape rates for bragging rights, and the non clue props were a nice touch, though a bit misleading in some spots. The production quality was right about what we expected for a newer business fresh into the field. Lower quality printouts and some hard to read handwriting had us scratching our heads in some places, but we escaped the room, and had a blast doing it. Overall this place has so much promise, and if you're in the Wakefield\Naraggansett area looking for a fun activity that isn't tough on the wallet, this place is a super fun tucked away spot to have a great time!

Awesome escape room experience! We have done dozens of escape rooms all across the country and were…read morereally impressed with the Curiosity Shop.

Really enjoyed the "La Cosa Nostra" room! My husband and I were looking to do a daytime date and…read morethis was a perfect indoor activity. It was definitely tough but so much fun and satisfying cracking the codes / clues. The "set" was very well done with an actual car in the room and a mural backdrop of a street. Everything was well utilized and locks weren't sticky. Super creative in the different ways the codes/keys were hidden too. The guy running it was friendly and helps you out with clues if you're in need of them, which you pace out. We probably should've gotten more clues sooner since we didn't escape the room. We probably got to about 60% of them (had a whole room we didn't get around to unlocking), which we were warned it is tough for 2 people, but we were up for the challenge. What I really like about this place is the discounts to return (half off I think to do the same room). What a great idea to get repeat customers. They also have another deal to buy discount passes only right after you finish a game.

We were invited to join another couple in this escape room adventure. The business is located on…read morethe lowest level of the casino's underground outlet mall. Enter the mall inside the casino, there is no exterior entrance, and take the escalator or elevator to the lowest level. They are located at one end of this single hallway, multi level, mall complex. (Maybe check the casino website for a floor plan before you go.) The business is open limited hours and requires online reservations. We arrived early enough that they had not yet opened their doors. Another party reserved in the same time slot called to let staff know they were running late. The staff were able to accommodate their late arrival and begin our session a bit late because that nights schedule had room. Normally they would have begun the session at the scheduled time. The waiting area is super cool. I just love it! Very imaginative. Fantastical. And they have a Zoltar! Very nice. Just don't make a wish to be 'Big'. Staff were all very friendly. Once everyone was present, we were lead down a hallway behind a door off the waiting area and brought into one of the rooms. The staff member gave a very quick rundown of some rules and let us know if we needed help they were watching and to just raise our hands. Everyone had to ask for the hint to get one. There is no speaking communication. The hints were given on a video screen overhead so reading English is a must. We worked pretty well with the other party. I had expected one puzzle to lead you to the next, but these were mostly independent puzzles. You didn't know which you needed to solve first, but each time a puzzle was solved a door or compartment would open to reveal something you will need for another puzzle. All together there were three rooms and I lost count of all the different puzzles. Honestly it was kind of frustrating at times. We did manage to get a few puzzles completed without a hint, but most took one or two hints. We were 'on the right track' but just hadn't pursued it quite enough. Time was running short - yes, the sessions have a time limit - so we asked for all the hints that we could! That really helped move us along, and yes, we did manage to solve all the puzzles and get to the exit. Woo-hoo! In the end, it was quite fun and a nice entertainment. There were a variety of puzzle types and some props were used for more than one puzzle. There are also plenty of items that are of no use and just there to distract you. It took everyone's different skills to get the puzzles done. The rooms are on the small size, some more so than others, and I would not have liked more than eight in the space, but ten may have fit comfortably as well. At the end of our adventure we were quickly escorted out of the area so they could reset it for the next reservation. Our memories of the experience are very positive. Maybe a bit pricey, but in the end, we don't remember the cost and we do remember the experience. So there ya go.

Escape RI is really an adventure for those who take part of it.... The staff sends you into a themed, immersive game space filled with puzzles, and you have to solve them all in order to "escape" within the hour. Now after the pandemic, all games are private, so you only go in with people you know. The are several room and several types of experiences! While you play, the venue is being constantly monitored by a trained Game Operator, and an emergency exit is always available in case of discomfort or actual emergency. You are never locked in a room. The lights may get dim at some points, but there's no (intentionally) spooky music or sounds, no frightening pictures, and certainly no one is going to jump out at you. All surfaces are sanitized regularly by the staff. The base price to rent one of the rooms is $79 which includes two admission tickets, which is also the minimum number of players needed to play our games. Each additional ticket is an additional $29 per person. Each room has individual capacity limits. The smallest game room can hold up to 4 players, two of the game rooms can hold up to 6 players each, and the largest game can hold up to 10. Our group needed some help in some of the rooms with the puzzles and clues, so you can ask for help and the operator will help you with hints. At the end of the game, we did not Escape, but it was a fun experience about teamwork, leadership, puzzle solving, and much more.... LOL...

We enjoyed it so much that we went to dinner and came back to play the Cabaret room after. We had a great time talking to Maxx and Clarabelle afterward about room design, puzzles, strategies, and other nerdy and technical things, and planned to come back this summer for the Mystic's Ritual room. We were thrilled to learn that both game masters were still working there, had been heavily involved in the new room design, and were just as happy to talk about the process and show us some of the inner workings. We deliberately booked the last time slot of the evening so we'd have time to chat, and it was a delightful experience all around. The rooms themselves are a good mix of logic, wordplay, and searching for connections, with some simple locks and some Arduino technology thrown in. The space is used to good effect and the designs are immersive. If you're a hardcore escape room enthusiast, you might find some things to complain about: a couple of elements that are broken are replaced with temporary fixes that aren't as cool as the intended ones; some of the tech is finicky; the challenge level doesn't really go above a 6 or 7 out of 10. But it's a lot of fun, and the people are excellent. Looking forward to coming back next year for their new room!

"Nonna's House" was a well designed room with a good background story and a variety of different puzzles mixed in, some with more advanced mechanics.

There is some room for improvement - as one would expect for any new business - but they have a lot of true potential. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with in the future.
