Company Make Your Escape

We played it right after Dystopia and loved how different it felt—barely any padlocks, very high‑tech, with varied puzzles. Joey was a great GM, and while there are two flights of stairs and a ladder in the room, the ladder can be skipped. Both rooms stand alone, but together the story really pops.

Played with a mix of first-timers and veterans and there was something for everyone, with enough content to keep all of us busy. The fully open, nonlinear layout meant some folks never even saw certain puzzles, and the lack of clear progression felt a bit chaotic. Theme was spot on, but the room is very dark and some faded symbols were tough to read, plus a few tech steps were so picky we needed i... Expand

Our first escape room and it was tougher than expected, but we laughed the whole way through. The host timed the hints perfectly and we escaped with about a minute left. A standout anniversary night—Utopia next!

Classic flow, crunchy but fair puzzles, and a narrative that actually matters. Do Dystopia then Utopia for the full arc—the contrast really lands. One of the better post-apoc sets I’ve seen in a while.

Great tension, smart puzzles, and our GM kept the nudges perfectly timed. We slid out with seconds to spare and were buzzing all the way home.

Absolutely loved it. Four of us played and there was always something to jump on, with no waiting around thanks to the nonlinear flow. We teamed up when needed, and the finale gave me actual goosebumps. Firmly in my top five.

Loved the dusty, lived-in set and how the story clicks with Utopia. Our GM timed nudges perfectly so we never stalled yet still felt clever. Proper old-school puzzling with satisfying moments. Would happily run the pair back to back again.

Immersion is huge. If you visit Make Your Escape, do this and Utopia back to back—the story threads interlock beautifully. Puzzles are strong, though a few might challenge some teams, and it’s absolutely worth the trip.

I’m usually a sucker for high-tech tricks, but the padlock-forward design works because the logic is tight. A couple of combos really made us think, yet the signposting kept it fair. Strong room, even better if you’ve done Utopia.

The story lands really well and, for us, this played far smoother than Utopia. Signposting was there when needed and the puzzle mix felt balanced. After some frustrations with Utopia, this was a relief, and Charlotte delivered hints exactly as agreed to keep the fun high.
