Each escape room holds many different puzzles that take you down different paths and come together sometime before the end. They are specifically designed to keep 8 to 12 people busy the entire time they are playing and to avoid a linear escape room experience.

Mystery Escape Room's 4th Dimension


Another way that Mystery Escape Room stands out is their unique way to monitoring an escape room. They hire actors to be a part of the experience. These actors are not in the room but are guides that play a part in the escape room experience. It makes it more fun to communicate with a character in the story rather than a person that is there to give clues. Clues are provided if needed but the character in the story is there to provide them.


This idea brings the escape room experience all together and creates a 4th dimension of fun. You meet the character at the beginning and they escort you to your escape room by traveling in a time machine. Once you are in your escape room, the actor leaves you to it but is available over a speaker system.
