Okay, so I finally got to try this escape room box with my friends last weekend, and wow – what a ride! The whole 'mad scientist turning you into werewolves' theme is ridiculous in the best way possible. We were laughing our heads off while frantically solving puzzles.
The Alexa integration was a cool touch – we used it for background music and timer updates. Though honestly, we were so into the game we barely noticed it after the first 15 minutes!
PRO TIP: Clear your entire dining table before starting. No joke – we ended up with puzzle pieces, notes, and random props covering every inch of space. My friend almost sat on an important clue!
The puzzles were challenging but fair. Some made us feel like geniuses when we solved them (that 3D puzzle was SO satisfying), while others had us scratching our heads until someone had that 'aha!' moment.
We didn't escape in time (blame it on too much wine), but had an absolute blast failing together. Definitely recommend for game nights – just maybe not with super competitive friends unless you want some hilarious arguments!
