This was the 4th escape room that I've tried. Each experience was in a different venue. Going into this experience, my escape record was 1 successful escape out of 3. Over time my puzzle solving skills have been improving. Before going into the room, we were able to have some complimentary bottled water and some Costco cookies. We signed our waivers and put our belongings into a locker. Before heading into the room, we were given instructions and the story behind our escape room. For this experience, we tried the Nightfall room. The video intro inside the room was pretty cool. I found there was enough space to comfortably accommodate 7 of us. Sometimes if there are too many people in a room, there might not be enough puzzles to keep everyone busy. There were times that I found myself walking around trying to see where I could help problem solve. Sometimes even just standing by and giving a suggestion is helpful to solving a particular puzzle. I found that each of us played an important role in solving the puzzles. The puzzles in the room were fun and interesting! They definitely required different ways of thinking to solve them. The props were great too. There was definitely an outdoorsy feel to the room. I also appreciated the play with the lighting, to simulate nighttime. I also liked how they had a countdown clock in the tv screen in the room. It can be stressful to see your time running out, but I liked being able to see how much time we had left. We only had 45 minutes to solve the room. There were hidden tokens in the room that we could exchange for clues. We had to press a button on the wall to call a staff member to come in and help us. In total we needed 3 clues to help us solve the room. We solved the room in the nick of time! In the end, it took us 43 minutes and 10 seconds! We cut it close but in the end we successfully escaped the room! Afterwards we posed for group pictures. We were given 2 Polaroid pictures. We took one home and put one up in the escape room lobby area. It's kind of cool to have a record of our experience at the venue. In the end, I thought that this was a great escape room experience! My new escape record is now 2 successful escapes out of 4! read more
