He was so friendly and explained the rules/story perfectly. The puzzles and locks were all ordinary to what you would see at other escape rooms.

It was a really tricky room and honestly there was no way we could've gotten out even with all the hints in the world to help us, haha! It truly takes a great mind to be thinking this complexly to figure out the math with it all - ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?

I reached out to the studio and they told me my item was there... not sure what or how they were planning to get in contact with me. At the visit I left my name, my number, a description of my item and noted I painted my initials on the bottom of the item - wrote all of this down on the little scrap paper they gave me to write my info. I'm guessing they lost it.... I go to try and pick up my item today, sign says closed 7/18... it's 7/17, no mention on the phone when I called yesterday or on their social media page(s) that they would be closed due. Frustrating to say the least. Items available to paint upon arriving for the visit were sparse so overall, all of these things combined, it was not worth the hassle.

They have a limit on how many families they let in at once which I appreciated. A friend came to meet us and he was 'waitlisted' but it only lasted about 5-10 minutes and he was able to come in. You can enter with your stroller and stay on the gray carpet or use one of theirs which is allowed anywhere in the room. They even had exercise bikes set up for parents to use. They don't work but it's something to do! They also have WiFi. Overall, fun place for kids! I would suggest they put sanitizer pumps all over though. They make every kid sanitize on the way in but there aren't any inside that I saw. Also, I wish there was a Starbucks in this plaza!

Deep Dive--"Atlantis Rising" Provides a Watery Challenge!…read more Hello, everyone! Christian Krenek, the Dauphin d'Escape Rooms, is back with another review! I first heard that PanIQ was opening a location in Boston back in September of 2021, and gathered some friends (all escape room and puzzling pros!) to head there in March of '22 for my birthday (and 35th room total!). We chose "Atlantis Rising," a deep-sea adventure. Your goal is twofold: make your way into the sunken city of Atlantis, and then recover whatever treasure you can find inside. The room design is top-notch, especially because the space is relatively small. The Atlantis section is particularly well-done, with mood lighting and mysterious underwater sounds. Our group did have a slight problem seeing some of the effects, which is intentional (it's murky in the sea!). It might help to bring along a flashlight! The best part of any escape room, though, is the puzzles, and PanIQ did NOT disappoint on that front. I was particularly impressed by the number of tactile puzzles in the room--lots of hands-on and interactive challenges. PanIQ also does a good job of making sure that there multiple puzzles to work on at once, thus avoiding bottlenecks and getting people stuck. It CAN be overwhelming--the room is a full sensory experience--but there are plenty of opportunities for breaks if you need them! My only advice to potential players: go with a small group. We had six adults ranging in size from small to large, and the room only holds seven--and speaking frankly, at times we felt the crunch! :p I think this room would be ideal for a group of three or four players, but we still had a blast with six, so don't let that discourage you. If you DO go with a big group, though, be ready to split up and tackle multiple challenges! All in all, our trip to the depths was a success (we escaped with 15 minutes to spare--that's 29 wins, 6 losses for me!), and we're excited to return to PanIQ to see what their remaining three games have in store. Until then, have fun, everyone!

We have done a lot of escape rooms, and I would probably put this in my bottom 5. Had several…read moreissues with it, but the biggest one is that the room is just really run down and is in dire need of a facelift. Here are some more details... - There are several "games" that you play during the hour, some that are very arbitrary and in no way relate to the scenario. When you finish and you receive the code to unlock whatever the next step is, you cannot go back. But there is nothing to write them down on, so if you don't remember the code which may only appear for a few seconds, you're screwed. - we were told explicitly to not manhandle anything in the room, which is a pretty standard rule for all escape rooms. However, there is one hook on the wall that you need to pull on fairly hard in order to open something. We intentionally did not pull on it because of the previous instructions. - once you find the hidden shoes, there should be some indicator to not mix them up with the other shoes because that wasted 10 minutes trying to figure out what the correct two shoes were that we needed to use. - in the final room there were lots of little boxes and distractors all around the walls that were nothing more than little wooden blocks. They looked very kindergarten and cheesy. - our game master was nice enough, but when we tried to call for a clue, we got no response. After about two minutes I went out to the lobby and she was standing there talking with a couple of people and asked if she could help me. I said yeah we're trying to get a clue and she said oh I'll be there in a minute. I understand that if you're understaffed, she has to spread herself thin, but that is wasting our money and our time. She's supposed to be dedicated to us for that hour. My final complaint is that this entire room seemed completely arbitrary and non-linear. It's like they tried to make a James Bond themed British escape room and just threw a bunch of random puzzles together. I would definitely not go back and recommend that you go elsewhere as well.
