Room Escapers - Boston Escape Rooms — Attraction in Boston

Having done a lot of other escape rooms in Boston, I chose to do the Panacea escape room with my partner but left kind of disappointed. The story behind it was interesting, the GM was great, but I think they were also training another GM at the same time while managing our game because there were two of them who had welcomed and helped us into our room.

During the game: They did warn us to give about 30 seconds to get a response for a hint if we asked which was fine, but I feel like at times it definitely took more than a minute to receive a response or even get a response at all so I had to ask the same question more then once, which resulted in wasted time.

I was definitely stuck in one specific puzzle in the room for the LONGEST time and I almost felt like the GM wasn't following along our game that well, as I expected to at least get hints along the way if they had noticed we weren't moving forward as quickly. And the hints that I DID receive for this specific puzzle did not make sense until after 4-5 hints were given!

Hence, my partner and I solved one puzzle in the whole hour and left defeated lol for the amount of money spent on this, I was expecting a better experience :(

UPDATE: The General Manager, Nadya, reached out to us and offered to have us play the Panacea room again for a better experience after reading my review, which was really thoughtful and kind of her to do! She was really nice and friendly when we got there and offered for us to do another escape room instead if we wanted to. We chose to do Organized Chaos. Nadya's explanation on the room was extremely helpful, especially letting us know what NOT to focus on which saved us a lot of headache and time to focus on the puzzles that mattered lol. She was helpful throughout the game and we beat the room on time! Thank you for inviting us back and making this experience...

Our experience here was awesome! My boyfriend and I did 'The Lost Ship' room. It was a Wednesday 7pm booking, so just the two of us took on the challenge without anyone else booking in. And we escaped with 90 seconds to spare!! Our guide, Captain Charles, did a fantastic job introducing the room to us with this whole back story to set us up. If you pay close attention, there are clues in everything he's saying as well.

The room itself was the best part. It was actually several rooms all joined together and from the lobby you had to figure out how to even enter the main room in the first place—super cool! I had never seen anything like that before. The puzzles were also really well thought out and interesting, using logic and problem solving (not at all abstract or random). Of all the escape rooms I have done, I would say that this has been the best experience I have had because of the attention to detail in the room, the quality of the puzzles, and the experience of being able to solve it with just the two of us.

The room is actually designed for at least 6 people, because it would have been helpful for others to take on and simultaneously solve riddles in the room. I'm pretty amazed we were able to do it with just 2 (but it was mostly because we had a few timely hints... big ones, lol). Awesome experience, highly recommend!!!

P.S. - This location has only this room (Pirate's Booty 2 - The Lost Ship), and the other rooms are in their downtown location. So don't be...

This was the best escape room I’ve ever been to!!!! I took my boyfriend to Room Escapers for his birthday and we did the Organized Chaos room. It was challenging and fun, and Shawn (or Sean, I don’t know how he spells it) was incredibly nice, fun, and enthusiastic. The room is made for 8-12 people, but since we went on a Tuesday at 8pm we were the only ones there which made it much more challenging, but we were soooo close to solving it and ended with 250/300 points! At the end Shawn also was able to tell us where we went wrong/missed clues (since we were the last ones there) which made it so I wasn’t leaving and wondering what the rest of the clues were, which would have bugged me until the end of time. Again, this was the best escape room I’ve been to. If you find yourself in Boston wanting to have a fun and challenging adventure, make sure you go to...
