Denver Escape Room - Rampancy

We booked this room after completing the super awesome Crimson Storm at the same location earlier in the day. We were told this was their hardest, and boy did it live up to that expectation. We learned a lot about escape rooms here that will be put into practice elsewhere (unfortunately, we cannot share it because it would give away some of the puzzles). But this was an enjoyable time and really we think if we had gotten a better start and used clues more wisely we would have finished this one. A neat thing they did here (which some we've lost didn't) was come in after and give us the hint where we were stuck and let us finish it quickly with their help. It gave a good idea of where we got stuck, and how much more we had to do.

Price:$$$28 per person

Theme:★★★The theme in this was good and added to the confusion felt.

Quality:★★★★Very well done room and everything inside worked as it should (even if we didn't like it not working how we wanted, it was as it should).

Difficulty:★★★★★OMG this was hard. There were several difficult puzzles that took some time, and just some great puzzles.

Fun:★★★★★This time we were paired with some experienced escape artists and it was nice that everyone could dive in and get to work. We had fun from start to finish, even though we also got frustrated.

With:8 peopleEvan, Judy (and six others)

Outcome:☹Loss

Denver Escape Room - Crimson Storm

The theme of this room was outstanding and really made the story come to life. Puzzles were fun and really drew on the theme. Our fellow captives also helped make this experience fun. As far as the puzzles, they weren't the hardest we've seen, but they were fun and really drew on the theme and there was something for everyone in the group to do at all times. I don't think I can say enough how much of a great experience this was and I'm sad I won't be back to Denver any time soon to do some of the other rooms.

Price:$$$28 per person

Theme:★★★★★This theme was fantastic - really well designed and all of the props and puzzles really fit with the theme. This was one of the best examples I've seen of puzzles using the theme and not adding extra things just so there could be puzzles.

Quality:★★★★★Everything was well made, worked well, and made it easy to figure out what was next and to not get distracted from the experience.

Difficulty:★★This was one of the easier escape rooms we've done, but had enough challenge to not be a gimme.

Fun:★★★★★We had so much fun here both because of the room and the other group that we were joined with (they were super positive and this was their first room so it really made it fun). We ended up booking another room later the same day because this one was so well done.
