This place is absolutely AMAZING!!! First I have to say, do not listen to any reviews from…read morebeginners. You have the option to get help and there shouldn't be any reason you don't get through before the hour ends, so the low reviews from that are bull crap. That being said, as a long time escape roomer, this place is top notch. The decor is awesome, the clues are well thought out, and like I said, you can get help anytime you want. It's only as difficult as YOU make it. I've done both the Aftermath and Temple of Laughing God. Both were so much fun! You seriously have to give this place try. You can tell they put a lot of thought and love into it all. Don't miss out!

Went with a group of friends this past Saturday. I will say it as fun and that none of us had done…read morean escape room before. The game god (or whatever he was called) was very nice and helpful! So my critique is not with him! The critique is with the fact that this beginner room was very difficult. I mean maybe they are all this hard, I wouldn't know. But our one hour ran out and we still had the challenge we were working on and three others left. When the game god came in and said time was up, we chatted for a bit and asked what the success rate for this particular room was. He said it was 17%. We thought that was a bit ridiculous for a beginner room. But again, maybe all places are like that. So if you don't mind losing, lol, then yeah, definitely check it out!

I would say this room was fairly straightforward (we were done in 39 minutes) but it had some interesting bits I hadn't encountered before. It was all in one room, which I haven't seen in a while, and the walls were very thin, so you can definitely hear the other rooms, which might be distracting. I would say, on the topic of immersion and the story making sense, there's space for improvement, especially the conclusion of the the room we did. However, on a positive note, I think these rooms are accessible to smaller groups, and I like that considering you can't always get a bunch of people together. 2-4 people? I think you have a shot of enjoying yourself here.

Magical man was SO kind and accommodating for us for my daughter's 11th birthday. We arrived a bit late and disorganized but because no one was behind our group, No Escape accommodated our group and let us start the Carnival late. When my husband bailed, because he was not feeling it with a group of 11yo, he graciously refunded his admission. The challenges were fun, help was available if needed, and the customer service was stellar. Highly recommend!

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!

This is one of the first escape locations ESCAPETHEROOMers have tried. We went in with three people…read moretotal and accomplished about 70% of the room. The previous owner is a very friendly guy who builds all his rooms. The waiting area could use some updating. There's not much high tech materials used but he did stuck to the theme in terms of the props he used. Although there's a few props in there that needed some updating as some were torn by other players. The great thing about this location is that even if you have two people you can still book the room as a private party. We went back another time and this time in their "Secret Agent" room. We had three people this time and was able to book it as a private party. Most of the puzzles were operated by number locks. The puzzles were quite linear and a bit easier than the "Alien Abduction" room that we tried. There were a few "tools" we've never encountered in this room that was clever and well incorporated into this theme. Overall, it's a great beginner room to tackle. Finishing off with their last room with four people in the "Quest For The Throne" room. Most of the puzzles were operated by number locks which we don't mind as long as they are logical which in this room they were. The hint system is quite unique as he basically puts the hints in correspondence with the puzzle folders. So it's extremely tempting to look at since they are right there and the hints are pretty much unlimited. We did use a few, but definitely tried to refrain from any temptation. The design was minimal to the theme but there was one "cool" gadget. It seems like sometimes it may be a bit "stuck" depending on how you use it. We did appreciate that the room didn't have too many red herrings and it was direct and to the point. The "Quest For The Throne" is definitely recommended for beginner escapers to try. *Since we've played at this location, the owner have changed and the name has also changed so we're not sure if the room's condition has been revamped or not.

Great variety of puzzles with a fun theme. Perfect for teams of 3-4. Puzzles were medium level difficulty. We also did Watson's Revenge which was full of clever puzzles, fun reveals and unique locks. Definitely have experienced players on your team as this one is pretty challenging. 4+ teammates is good for this one. Lastly, we did 13th Floor which was luckily not a scary room, just a slightly creepy theme. Really enjoyed the puzzles and riddles in this one as well as the interactive elements. 3-5 is good for this one. Puzzles are medium to hard difficulty. Rave reviews for the fun game master. The inventory/closeup system for the virtual/remote rooms were a bit tricky to juggle but allowed us to divide and conquer.

We came to do one, but the experience was pretty heavy for the group, and the great staff there let us change to a room that was better suited to our group, right on the fly! We ended up doing "King Arthur's Quest" and Sean, our gamemaster, did a great job at keeping us moving! A lot of fun and keep us occupied for an hour! We will definitely come back for other challenges! If you are thinking about coming, a word from the now-wise: pay heed to the challenge rating (PG, PG-13, etc.). And don't be afraid to ask questions about the challenge when you have your pre-meeting. If you are afraid of the dark - ASK! your gamemaster if the room is going to be dark. If you have to switch escape rooms based on your comfort factor, do it, you'll be glad you did. Thanks again Sean!

I did an escape room as a team building exercise and we did Jungle 2. We've been told we need not have done Jungle to do this room.

Upon arrival, we all checked in watched a video to give us the premise of the game. I loved all the puzzles in the game! I want to same more but don't want to give anything away. Nick was an amazing host and game master through it all and helped us along the way when we needed to make it out of the game! I can't wait to come back!
