. . "5"^^ . "I have been to +10 escape rooms and I've gotta say that the room we did at Mindspark is on my top 3! Everything about the room, the variety in puzzles, the immersion, the special effects, the props and decoration, etc. we're top notch. \n\nTo be honest the funniest part about it is from the outside and from the lobby it feels like your just strolling into a normal office. Sure there are a few puzzles lying about, there's a VR unit in the corner, and when they take you to the conference room for a quick info vid the penny table is really neat. But it just seems like a normal office. Insurance company-like! But when they open the door to the set and you step in it feels like you are transported to a different universe! Aside from the spectacular set design and visuals, there is audio ambiance and audio clues that make the experience seem eerie and magical. Too many times did our group hear something and pause for a breath to see if something had happened! \n\nFinally, it's all about the puzzles right? Well they did not disappoint. Most of them were tricky, but not impossible. It was very satisfying to solve a puzzle. The best part is that it was non-linear! Our group could split up and work on different puzzles. Eventually it all comes together, but it gave everyone in the room something to focus on (no groups of two or three waiting on the sidelines for the other group of two or three to solve something before anyone can move on). Well designed, well thought puzzles that got everyone involved. \n\nIf you're curious, our group of six did not make it out on time. But we got real close (maybe another ten minutes). I believe I was the only one of our group that had escape room experience, everyone else was new to it (they had a blast!). So if you're new, don't be intimidated!\n\nThey have three rooms at their location and I am already planning the next trip! Looking forward to the next one!!"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
