To start with, there’s an impressive waiting area (although it’s not huge, so probably best not to arrive half an hour early, as we did…) where they offer you a drink and take the time to chat. Yes, they have escape rooms, but they’re aiming to deliver an experience that’s far broader than the room itself.
We recommend La Grassa for nearby Gelato.īook your hour with Houdini’s Room Escape’s Game Room, and tell them that the Room Escape Artist sent you.I don’t think it’s an accident that Houdini’s use the term Escape Room Experience for their company. ➕ Houdini’s Room Escape had at least one nifty trick hidden up its sleeve. Whenever we derived a code, we needed to try it everywhere, which diminished the momentum of the solve. ➖ Game Room included multiple locks with similar digit structure, all in play simultaneously. There was room to integrate the puzzle game more seamlessly into the set. Much of this paper was affixed with tape to the boxes or other set pieces. Houdini’s Room Escape filled the room with locked boxes, paper clues, and paper puzzles. ➖ The gameplay felt bolted on amidst the old furniture and solid set pieces. We especially enjoyed the thematic embellishment to the TV monitor hinting. ➕ The period-esque parlor with heavy wooden furniture and a deep red hue was a comfortable setting. 
Another puzzle required outside knowledge, without which this puzzle could only be solved with substantial hinting. One in particular felt like a throwaway that players will see immediately or never see, dropped in entirely without clue structure.
➖ Some of the puzzles could have benefited from additional cluing. It pleasantly rolled along, from puzzle to puzzle, with plenty for everyone to work on. ➕ Game Room offered a lot of puzzle content in an approachable way. Houdini’s Room Escape’s Game Room was a standard escape room with a moderate level of difficulty.Ĭore gameplay revolved around searching and puzzling.
