Through the combination of masterful engineering, a hefty subwoofer, bold misdirection, and psychological manipulation, the transitions between spaces were the most impressive and effective I&#8217;ve seen in any escape room to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 The puzzles in <em>The Attraction<\/em> were a brilliant maturation of the style demonstrated in Palace Games&#8217; <em><a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/2018\/09\/10\/palace-games-the-edison-escape-room-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Edison Room<\/a>.<\/em> Showing strong puzzle hunt and video game influences, all puzzle interactions were perfectly integrated in the physical environment and narrative. They prompted shared discovery, communication, and teamwork. They were varied, incredibly fun, and gave solvers of different abilities moments to shine. Furthermore, they seamlessly utilized an impressive level of tech without ever feeling overindulgent or like a tech demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;<em>The Attraction<\/em> is blocked off as a 2-hour experience, but there was explicitly no countdown timer in the game. Teams are allowed and encouraged to take the time they need to savor and complete the full experience. There was no narrative reason to have an arbitrary time cutoff, and I have mad respect for Palace Games&#8217; decision to forgo this structural relic of the traditional escape room model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;<em>The Attraction<\/em> took us to a myriad of vivid worlds. The set design in each was astounding, and I was especially impressed by the range of textural contrast within the game. Moreover, each environment felt markedly different from anything I&#8217;ve experienced elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 While the entire set was stunning, one area in particular elicited from me a feeling of deeply reverent awe. I&#8217;m not usually the most distractible puzzle solver, yet I spent the first few minutes in this space ignoring the task at hand and just wandering aimlessly, mouth agape, soaking in the magic. This feeling blossomed even further as the space transformed before our eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u2795\/<strong>\u2753<\/strong> A sort of pop culture montage throughout the game might be described as nostalgic, deeply human, or even meme-y. For me, the ways in which these elements were presented were a strong positive and infused the experience with a distinctively idiosyncratic character. However, I could see this resonating less strongly with some players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 <em>The Attraction<\/em> was a strongly narrative-driven experience. Our actions and our role in the story were consistently justified, and even puzzles that were &#8220;just puzzles&#8221; ultimately had a &#8220;why&#8221; behind them. A meta-narrative arc was particularly topical and thought-provoking for enthusiasts of the escapist inclination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2796&nbsp;We encountered one very brief and very minor technical glitch with an input mechanism. While this was not a big deal whatsoever, it felt mildly immersion-breaking in the moment, in sharp contrast to the level of deep immersion consistently maintained throughout the entirety of the game. With the intricacy and scale of the tech in this room, I hope tech reliability is maintained or improved going forward, as every moment of the game outside those few minutes was sublime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u2795 The ending. Just wow. Like a magic trick where you don&#8217;t know how it&#8217;s done in the moment and don&#8217;t really want to find out after the fact, the final sequence propelled us back into the &#8220;real world&#8221; in a state of pure ecstasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-for-visiting\">Tips For Visiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Drive to the back of The Palace of Fine Arts.
