Though I would consider this a horror-themed game, it was more creepy than scary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set design was unusual, making the most of available space to create an interesting layout that felt very much like your childhood best friend\u2019s rec room. The props were fun to interact with, though we did have a minor issue with a small piece of set that was not firmly attached.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puzzles were fun and intuitive, with several that brought out my inner middle-schooler who just wanted to hang out and play and maybe have a snack. The story was always front and center, and while the puzzles weren\u2019t overly complex, they deftly drove the narrative throughout the experience. In fact, game flow was so smooth that we never actually needed a hint; however, the hint system was unusual and integrated so seamlessly that I wanted to ask for help just to experience it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-attachment-id=\"114982\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2.jpg\" alt=\"A couch and a basketball hoop laundry hamper in a wood-paneled 80s room.\" class=\"wp-image-114982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2-800x600.jpg?crop=1 800w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2-400x300.jpg?crop=1 400w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2-200x150.jpg?crop=1 200w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/escape-ventures-neighborhood-watcher-2-685x514.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There was an actor in the room for a small but meaningful part of the game, and it was this interaction that heightened our experience and made<em> <\/em>it fun and engaging right from the start.

(Note that all players will need to negotiate stairs.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;Some players do not like in-room actors as they can intensify the experience beyond a player&#8217;s comfort level. However in this game, the actor was only in the room early on and significantly added to the experience without being scary. Our interactions with the actor were a definite highlight. Additionally, the gamemaster talked to us about this before the game and would have made adjustments if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2796&nbsp;At the start, we were warned we would have to do something <em>unexpected<\/em> and told it was ok to do so. Unfortunately, this broad statement left a lot to interpretation, and we actually pulled on a loose set piece, thinking that was &#8216;the thing&#8217;. It was not. Luckily it was easily fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;Puzzles blended well with the narrative and were fun to solve. While there were some standard escape room puzzle styles, we were delighted by unique twists in a number of them. Most were approachable and we always knew what we needed to do. A few unusual puzzles and surprises made us laugh out loud; this would be a good escape room for both newbies and experienced players who like a strong storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 The hint system was immersive and unusual and is worth trying at least once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2796&nbsp;Most of the puzzles involved locks and codes. While this did not affect the overall gameplay, there was an opportunity to add tech for certain puzzles that would provide a few surprises for the player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reality Escape Pod<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to listen to our conversation with Curtis Ratliff and Derek Townsley, founders of The Escape Ventures\u00a0during Season 8, Episode 8 of the Reality Escape Pod.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"Move Fast &#038;
