I didn't realize the pass automatically renews for the next year, so make sure you put a reminder on your calendar unless you want to renew it. The customer support was great and lets you cancel your renewal if you haven't redeemed anything and it's been less than 60 days. For me it wasn't worth it because I use my free time for my outdoor hobbies, but its great if you are more of a city person.

The most unexpected thing about playing escape rooms in the Salt Lake City area is how many…read morebusinesses are mindful of the need for couple date-night experiences, and how cleverly they are able to tailor bigger rooms to suit smaller ones. Mystery Escape Room, with locations in Salt Lake City as well as Tucson, did just that with their European Café mystery game, Café Amour, which we picked because it was a 40-minute escape room designed for 2 people, and it was rated mildly challenging. When we were booking our game, we saw on the web site that Mystery Escape Room does not offer refunds on cancelled bookings, but are more than happy to reschedule our visit, or place our tickets on will call to be used at any time and does not ever expire, which was good, because it was a bit of a drive for us to get to The Gateway shopping mall in downtown Salt Lake City. We need not have worried, however: getting to The Gateway was not a bad drive at all on a Saturday morning. The standard mall parking offered off street have their own app so it took us a while to get out of the car, but a short walk through the mall concourse, then up and down the escalator later and we found ourselves at the escape room - 30 full minutes before opening time at noon! Happily, the door was unlocked, and we were able to seat ourselves in the lobby and look through the 3-D image books and Elf-on-a-Shelf photo album while waiting. There were also puzzles on the bookcase, which was held a surprise in itself. Our fantastic game host, Kiki, was able to fit us a whole half hour early, which was more than great, because it was already 98°F out at 11:30am, and there was scant shade in the outdoor mall. The introductory video was self-produced and very amusing, and just gave Kiki the exact amount of time to get the room ready early and show us into the very dark second lobby. The game started even before we entered Lobby 2, and even that was only the preamble to our real experience, which finally started after we made our way through a themed doorway. Café Amour is a perfect date-night (or day) G1 (very low-tech, with conventional locks and lots of brain work) game, which took us to the streets of old Europe, from the glass-stained windows to the wood-and-brick décor. The rules of the game were laid out clearly ahead of time, and Kiki was terrific keeping us on track - very important for a short-term room. Since this game is a more intimate game within at least two other rooms, we really appreciated the clear labels on what was not part of the game. Our favourite puzzle was the one we had to solve using playing cards, and although the word association puzzle was interesting, it was also confusing because it didn't seem in-theme. This probably had to do with the fact that Café Amour was part of a larger experience, and our exit also did not seem to fully complete the one (café mystery) experience. It was / is, however, a clever way to entice us to continue our escape room experience with them again. This was our only gripe, and why this is a four-star review rather than a 5. The short-term rooms at The Escape Date and A Great Escape (both previously reviewed) were more dedicated and focused. That said, we really enjoyed our time at Café Amour and the big perk was the freebie take-home at the end. There was a clock in the room that was not used but our time of 33:45 was meticulously tracked by Kiki, who actually did a five-star job. We remain constantly surprised by how ingeniously all the different rooms in Utah are conceptualized and built, and we are really appreciative of how all our game hosts so far have taken the trouble to appear in costume and character. Our games have not been just "our" games, and it's so refreshing to see gamemasters enjoying our game along with us. We can't wait to try out the other rooms offered by Mystery Room - and soon!

We were split into teams by random draw and invited into a game room where we played a few different games to earn points (elementary pop quiz, internal clock guessing type game, split decision, memory game, wheel of fortune type game, and spinning the wheel). Of course there was friendly competition banter amongst our two teams. (Red Team - the team I was on, won ). The staff was so enthusiastic and played their characters well! Our host was great! Overall we had a great time! It would have been fun to choose a few games instead of it all being randomized, but that's okay. I'm hoping to get some friends together to try it out!

When we're too worn out from hiking the Beehive State's gorgeous waterfalls, or if we just want the…read moreexperience of escaping a dark, cold forest getting ready to be roasted in an oven by sister witches without wearing hiking gear, we head to one of the many spellbinding escape rooms in the state. Unfortunately, the cost of an hour is just about as high as that in SoCal now that inflation has hit, but for fun in private, with no waiting and unparalleled immersiveness, escape rooms are a family entertainment we are so grateful is available to us, and, more importantly, for a duo, which we now are, since we are empty-nesting! Our first escape room in Utah this year was with More than Mysteries in Murray, a suburb of Salt Lake City. Hansel and Gretel is a favourite Grimm tale, and we wanted something cutely creepy but not really scary - and did More than Mysteries deliver! More than Mysteries is located on the third floor of an office building, easy to find if you followed Google's breadcrumbs. Upon exiting the elevator (or take the stairs), turn right towards the toilet and it's the business at the end of the floor. We were there about five minutes early on a Monday, and we did something we never thought we would ever do: we did the scaring! Our game mistresses - not one, but two - sister green witches in full garb - opened the door the same time we did, and we pretty much stumbled onto each other. We just had enough time to take in that the lobby was beautifully furnished, and before we knew what was going on (good thing we signed our waivers before!), we were measured (heads and general oven-fitness), instructed on our roles and responsibilities (no videos, hurray!) and shoved (gently) into the candy cottage. We were allowed to keep our phones, but there were lockers if we wanted them. It was déjà vu! We've done other similar themes but this was very original. In spite of the witches' fear, it was not too hot, nor too cold (it was nice they told us they would adjust to our temperature preference) and was decorated just like an antique book illustration, absolutely gorgeous and in-theme. The cat was an especially well-thought-out touch. It was a dim room but, again, plenty of lights were included for ambience and game and there were not so many red herrings as you would think in a room so well-laid-out: many times, what appeared to be a red herring was actually essential to our very simple goal of getting out of the witches' clutches. Hansel and Gretel was what we would call an intermediate G2 (second generation, medium-tech) room, with traditional locks and a couple of higher tech locks, with a good hint delivery system and a timer in the room. We were grateful for the pen & paper provided for notes, because the clues were not that straightforward, and the non-linear aspect of the game meant that sometimes two puzzles were needed to open a third lock. Our favourite puzzles were the ants and the candles - so clever! It was the perfect room for two to four people, very family-friendly (with only one or two locks which needed bending down to access), perfect for a date, to start the day or end it. We made it out of the forest in 50:28, completely forgetting about the chocolates and lemon drops. It was a sad second when we took off our costumes to take our victory photos on our phones and with hand painted signs. For the first time ever, we actually had our photos taken with our game hosts! We had a really good time, and really appreciate the thank-you email sent to us after the game. The room was so well-planned and thought-through, it was as though we were really walking in the footsteps of the original fairytale. We can't wait for the summer to get here so we can visit again for their new rooms: Black Widow Escape and Curse of the Enchanted Artifact. Perhaps if we followed the trail of the spiders instead of pebbles ...
