Exit Strategy

We had to return to Exit Strategy for their new room and were so glad we did! Amazing quality escaping and customer service! The puzzles for Quest of Honor are interactive, inquisitive, high-tech and above the norm – this adventure breaks the mold of the typical riddles and locks rooms we've experienced in the past! Let's just say, there are a dragon-share of apropos fantastical fun and fantasy in this room – don’t forget your 20-sided dice and spell book!

Twenty escape rooms in and I found this particular room (Bank Heist) to be the worst designed game I've done so far - even comparing against a couple rooms that were quite sad. This was a huge let down as I had heard a lot of good things about the room and there are definitely good things about the room. First, the building itself was quite enjoyable and decorated well. We were partially ignored by the staff on entering but they were a bit busy. When the game began they gave us a pretty decent story intro and a good atmosphere. The problem was they split our game into two different groups, one entering the lobby of the bank and the other entering the safe. This is a potentially great idea with both teams needing to help each other out. However, it was obvious that they designed the game to be fun for one group and not the other. Aside from looking around a bit, we had exactly one 'puzzle' to solve in our room and a couple of minor things to find. We had to wait over 20 minutes for the other team to do multiple puzzles and finally join us before we could even begin playing the game for real. My wife and I felt helpless thinking we must have been missing something - but finally after getting exasperated and saying this was the least fun we have ever had in an escape room while playing, they told us we just had to wait for the other team because there was nothing left to do in our room. This game had a decent number of good ideas, but was terrible because of this.
