Our group of 4 had a great time in the room. As a more experienced group, we found the puzzles both challenging and fun. The creativity of the room itself exceeded our expectations- great mix of classic puzzles and technology. Jake was an awesome host!
We really wanted to like this place. Honestly the idea of tying the history of the building to the story of the game was super exciting to me and my husband and the reason why we booked Panacea. We are done over 60 rooms together and are always looking for something novel. Overall it just missed the mark. Our GM was great, but she kept apologizing for the fact that some of the puzzles are clunky when she obviously wasn’t the one responsible for building them. Many of the elements were worn or just not built well in the first place, and overall it could just use some major TLC. Definitely other better options in Boston if you’re looking for a good escape experience. This one could definitely be better with some love, time, and money invested in making it more of an immersive experience.
Spoke with a representative the day of my booking due to not being able to make it. Was informed I’d received vouchers for my purchase. Once I realized they didn’t come I emailed them. Someone responded no name attached, stating they were waiting for me I didn’t show etc when I responded informing them that it was false and I actually spoke with someone I haven’t heard back. Decided to try the other escape room in Boston as reviews mentioned.
Great Room Escape in the heart of Old Boston. Staff was very helpful with online technical issues booking, to make sure we could make the last session the night before our departure. This was an impromptu idea because it was rainy so the family was really happy to get out of the hotel room. Our conductor Braiden was super nice and professional. The decoration, furniture, and general items were very well designed and set up. The experience was very imerssive and visual. The challenges were very engaging and overall I would highly recommend the PANACEA room, and we will certainly come back to try other rooms in the future when we come back to visit Boston.
My friends and I visited Room Escapers yesterday and played Panacea and Organized Chaos. These rooms were both very unique in their own ways and the room design for theme was very well done. Personally Panacea was a standout favorite for me! Organized Chaos is definitely different from any other escape room I’ve done and it was an interesting change of pace! Both rooms were extremely fun and we really enjoyed the different types of puzzles we got to interact with across the two rooms! Our game master, Nicole, was great as well! Very personable and you can tell she truly enjoys what she does. We can’t wait to go back for more rooms in the future!
Our experience here was awesome! My boyfriend and I did 'The Lost Ship' room. It was a Wednesday 7pm booking, so just the two of us took on the challenge without anyone else booking in. And we escaped with 90 seconds to spare!! Our guide, Captain Charles, did a fantastic job introducing the room to us with this whole back story to set us up. If you pay close attention, there are clues in everything he's saying as well. The room itself was the best part. It was actually several rooms all joined together and from the lobby you had to figure out how to even enter the main room in the first place—super cool! I had never seen anything like that before. The puzzles were also really well thought out and interesting, using logic and problem solving not at all abstract or random. Of all the escape rooms I have done, I would say that this has been the best experience I have had because of the attention to detail in the room, the quality of the puzzles, and the experience of being able to solve it with just the two of us. The room is actually designed for at least 6 people, because it would have been helpful for others to take on and simultaneously solve riddles in the room. I'm pretty amazed we were able to do it with just 2 but it was mostly because we had a few timely hints... big ones, lol. Awesome experience, highly recommend!!! P.S. - This location has only this room Pirate's Booty 2 - The Lost Ship, and the other rooms are in their downtown location. So don't be confused ^_^
Nadia made sure we had an awesome time. Me and my girlfriend made it through the pirate ship with 6 minutes to spare. This was my 3rd escape room and by far my favorite. 10/10 would come back again.
What a fantastic experience! Our group ranged from highly experienced escapers to total newbies, but the variety of puzzles and challenges available ensured that all of us were able to contribute something. Our guide Jeff was also incredible. He took the time to create the perfect story to set us off on our adventures, and he only provided one clue when absolutely necessary. Needless to say, our amazing team managed to escape with minutes to spare, and make a couple new friends as well! We'll definitely be coming back to Room Escapers for more adrenaline-pumping fun!
Jeff was nice, friendly, amazing. The puzzles were GREAT, fabulous! I went with a party of 14, a little bigger than the usual, but I absolutely loved it. I probably did nothing of merit, but, we did escape the room with six minutes to spare and there are hints if you get SUPER stuck. I thought it was ingenious and I can't wait to go to the new location & see the new puzzles! Thank you Jeff for making it so awesome!
ABSOLUTELY one of the best date nights we've ever had!! Jeff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I had originally booked this event believing the room would fill up. Supposedly, it is best when played with a group of at least 6 people. Jeff promptly called me the day of to make sure I still wanted to play the game. I told him I wasn't sure since it might be overwhelming for just 2 people to figure out, but he encouraged me, and we did it! Besides having a great time, we learned we're a phenomenal team as we escaped the room in exactly 1 hour. It's challenging, it's fun and a definite must, even if your group just ends up being a dynamic duo. Thank you Jeff!!!
