Smugglers Den

Loved this one! Majority of this room is done in complete darkness and it’s quite a unique experience! Our game master Laszlo was top notch too - made the whole experience amazing!

Such an incredible experience! Do it!

Fantastic 45min room! The theming of the entire building is well done. We saw some different clues and puzzles and being in the dark amps everything up a notch. Definitely recommend to seasoned escapers!

We typically shy away from rooms that have low light or are dim. However, the 2nd part of this one is completely pitch black… you have to rely on feeling around and communicating verbally with your team. Very neat concept.

Loved playing an escape room in the dark, I was a 45 min room and I wished it was longer.

Unique experience playing a room in pitch darkness. Very tactile, and demands communication with teammates. If you have time, grab a sandwich around the corner at St James Cheese Company - they were delicious.

I did Smuggler's Den, Inventor's Attic, and Jazz Parlor. They were my 71, 72, and 73rd escape rooms, respectively. I can't say these were the best rooms I have ever done (that honor belongs to a room in Amsterdam), but they were pretty close. They are definitely must-do's if you are an enthusiast and live in the United States. The thing Escape My Room does better than any other room is create an atmosphere where everything fits together as part of a broader story. From how you enter, to what you do in the sitting room while you wait, to orientation, to the walk to the room, to the room itself, and the photos at the end--everything flowed seamlessly. It's as immersive as it gets. The rooms themselves were almost flawless. There was very little I would do differently, and even those would come down to preference and not necessarily make the rooms any better. The rooms are non-linear for the most part, but you always know what you should be doing even if it takes you some time to figure out how to do it. And there are several a-ha moments (always a good thing). I prefer them in reverse order of the way we did them--the rooms kept getting better. Five full stars easy. PS. David was an awesome game master.

A true fully dark experience. This was our second time doing a fully dark experience. It was a lot of fun. It is a challenge to do puzzle with just the sense of touch.

A truly dark room. We preferred Escape Ventures version in Orlando, but this is our second place true dark room. Lots of sensory puzzles. Truly these rooms belong in their own category as they test such different skills.

This room was really enjoyable. It benefits a lot from the shorter length (45 minutes), since it can remain novel without exhausting its schtick. I really appreciated the way that this room used some common escape room concepts in new and exciting ways, since you can’t read anything. We played with 2 and found that to be good.
