Took my 2 kids and 2 friends (ages 12-14) to the Bonnie & Clyde room today, and everyone had a great time! Metered street parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon. Our GM met us at the street entrance and escorted us down a dark corridor to their lounge. The had complimentary refreshments, and I hear that sometimes they have magic tricks while people are waiting (forgot to ask when…). The room was a lot of fun, and our GM was great. There were plenty of lock & keys, and while there were no hi-tech gimmicks, there were several puzzles with creative use of the props and storyline. It helped that our game master had told us at the beginning that asking for clarification on whether something was allowed would not constitute using up one of our clues, as some our hesitation points involved types of activity we had never done before in other escape rooms (which was actually really cool!) The progression was linear, and the kids loved that the individual players were imbedded into solving one of the clues. Hint system with walkie-talkie with prompt helpful responses from GM. Room itself fine for our party, but I could imagine it feeling crowded with more than 6 adults. Family friendly, we made it out with a group of 5 with 4 kids (including 2 who had never done an escape room before but are now hooked!) with 7 minutes to spare, not scary, and still challenging enough to not be a “kids” venue. Would definitely recommend!

Wow! So I played my 125th escape room in Orient Express with one other person. For a “low tech” room, I LOVE how everything made sense and was purposeful. The puzzles were beautifully logical. There are all various number locks and key locks, but a nice variety. There is also reading involved, but not too much to where it gets frustrating.
I can see seasoned players and newbies having a fun time here!
Looking forward to checking out their other rooms. Also their lobby was so relaxing and it set the mood.
Shout out to Kellen our gamemaster!

This was my first time attempting an escape room and I loved it. My family and I had a great time. We were in the Bonnie and Clyde room and we barely escaped. It makes you think differently and we had to use all of the clues to get out. Josh was great, he explained the game and rules and was there to give us clues when we needed them. I would highly recommend Architect Escape Rooms.
