Granite State Escape — Attraction in Manchester

As a treat for my birthday, my fiancé surprised me with a trip here (with a few friends/coworkers). I’ve done Boda Borg quests twice in the past, but never a true escape room (only one of the five of my group had ever done an escape room, and her experience had not been good), so I was curious and excited. It did not disappoint! Hope was a great gamemaster (for lack of whatever the appropriate term would be?). Without spilling any spoilers, we did Dead Cabin, and it was amazing. The atmosphere, the story, the challenges and mysteries were phenomenal. As someone who was fairly confident going in with being able to solve puzzles and the like but not having the technical experience, I felt it was a perfect blend of tricky and challenging without being frustrating or overly complicated. It could have been done with less people, but even with five of us there was still plenty for everyone to be involved in without crowding over things.

10/10 would - probably will - come back. Thanks for the...

Our team had a great time at Granite State Escape. We wanted to a have a fun night out with a little friendly competition. Granite State Escape delivered.

They were incredibly welcoming and were able to keep us all focused (a feat with all of us so eager to get started) as they explained how the games worked. The staff used a deck of cards to separate us into rooms at random. From there, each team was brought to their room.

The staff offered assistance as needed, but left us to solve our clues unless we asked for help.

Overall, two of our teams escaped their rooms and two got about halfway.

Even those who didn't escape their room enjoyed the process and had a great time!

We appreciate all that Granite State Escape did to give us a fun night...

I went with some co-workers as a Team building event. We did the funeral parlor and it was super fun! There were 11 of us and personally, I thought it was too many for that particular room. Due to the different clues, some people weren't able to be involved at certain points. There were times that some people would find the same clues that others had already figured the answer to. I would prefer next time to use less people, but there are a ton of clues for that room, so my suggestion would be that if you go with a bigger group, plan ahead and prepare a strategy with your team. The staff was super nice and polite and the building was clean and presentable. I would like to try to go again...
