Upside Down Escape Games — Attraction in Mashpee

We happened to discover this amazing place while in Mashpee Commons with some friends at the tail-end of the summer. Hidden on the corner of a block at the edge of the Commons, finding it is like finding clues in one of the rooms.

Make sure to book in advance on their website, as it makes the logistics much easier.

On Saturday, half of our group did the pirate room and the other half did the gingerbread room. Both rooms were intricately designed and decorated, and enjoyably challenging. I had never gone to an escape room before, and the feeling of solving a complex puzzle was wonderful. It revived the child in me, and in no time I was jumping from item to item trying to piece it all together. My group was exceptionally efficient and collaborative, finishing the pirate room with 20 minutes to spare. The other group had a few setbacks, so to speak; they just scraped by with around 8 minutes before time was up. Regardless, the escape room experience took over all conversations that night, and there was a unanimous desire to come again on Monday.

On Monday, we took on the most challenging room Upside Down Escape Games had to offer: Nocturnal Keep. Medieval-themed, the room was full of knights, dragons, and magic. This was indeed far more challenging than the other two rooms, but it was definitely worth it! Intricate and mysterious, it had such a diversity of puzzles. Halfway in, I forgot I was in Cape Cod, completely believing I was in a dungeon of the Middle Ages. I highly recommend this room to the most ambitious puzzle solvers.

Additionally, the staff were amazing and clearly passionate about their escape games. They were extremely polite and even showed us the tech room where all the electronics to run the room were housed. As a techie guy, that was my favorite part!

We all loved the experience. Escape room enthusiasts and puzzle solvers, this is the place for you!

We did a little Escape Room road trip starting in Maine and going to New Jersey and Upside Down was the best place (in my opinion) that we visited (we did 14 rooms total). We did both The Arcade and The Theater and both were just phenomenal rooms. You can tell that the rooms were created by enthusiasts with enthusiasts in mind, but not exclusively. The Arcade was fun, nerdy, had great flow and was just a lot of cool nostalgia for any 80’s kids who grew up with Nintendo or around the arcade. This def. catered to my personal interest, but even the next room we did The Theater (which also catered to personal interest due to a love of horror), but there were a few things that happened the in room that was truly unique. This is one of my favorite “horror” themed rooms (in quotes because it’s more creepy/uncanny, not your typical zombie type room). It was just FUN, and if you are in MA, this is one of the places to go! (2 enthusiasts and their 6-year old daughter who have done...

Upside Down is a truly unique escape room company who has created a fun, lighthearted, and clever escape room experience in their Arcade Room. The room's scenery is widely effective and evokes the classic idea of an arcade, to a point in which it is impossible not to find yourself lost in the atmosphere of the game. The puzzles, being varied and intelligent, use a mixture of analogue and high-tech mechanisms to surprise the player, to the point in which I was genuinely shocked at some of the impressive tech-based moments. More so, the puzzles were fun, and made use of set and storyline to create an all-around satisfying experience. The staffing is also brilliant and incredibly pleasant, giving great hints as well as being welcoming and resourceful. Upside DOwn Escapes is an overall incredible company worthy of your time, and out of the 221 games I have played, one that truly stands out in a...
