I went today for my birthday. Every year, I visit a different escape room, and this one was easily the worst (Witches Revenge). First, we found the first puzzle and the solution, but nothing happened.

We spent 5 minutes asking for clues, but nobody answered. When they finally replied, the clue was just a repeat of what we already knew. After another 5 or 10 minutes, they sent us the code for the lock that we had already figured out.

When the clock showed 35 minutes remaining, someone walked into the room and said they had forgotten to set up that puzzle, which is why the code didn't work. This led us to the next puzzle, the one with the small wooden boxes on a string. Once again, we solved it in less than a minute, but then...nothing happened. After 20 minutes of ignoring our requests for clues, someone came into the room, explained that “it has to be very precise,” and struggled for another minute or two to open the box, even though they had the solution.

After that, we managed to open one or two other locks, but we were already frustrated. We lost 20 minutes because they had forgotten to set up one of the locks, and another 20 minutes because “it has to be very precise,” and even they couldn’t open the box. In the end, $100 was wasted.

The worst part is that the website has great reviews, but I think this is a new attraction that needs some improvements. The holiday might have made them busy, which could explain why our requests for clues went unanswered. It looks like a really nice place, but I don’t feel comfortable spending another $100 only to end up frustrated again.
