3 adults + 3 11yr olds, $20pp. We picked a level 1 (very easiest) challenge. We failed. We got…read morestuck bc a critical clue was hidden in a spot remarkably inconsistent with the hiding spots of every other clue we found/unlocked. When we pressed the help button on the door nobody responded. We pressed it numerous times over the course of about 10 minutes, as we continued trying to figure things out; no one ever came. Finally one of the 11yr olds banged on the door. That got a response, but a good amount of our 50 minutes had elapsed. After arriving, the staff person took quite a few more minutes to figure out what clue we were missing, probably because the kids had strewn a lot of the props & paper clues around the room. When we finally got our help it was in the form of, "oh! you need to look in this exact spot right here for a critical clue (on a piece of laminated paper) that you haven't been able to find, and as it turns out, you guys didn't even realize you were missing! Bye!" After we had that (one stinking) clue we started moving pretty fast. But alas, not enough time was left. The staff was nice enough to let us have a couple more minutes to finish the challenge, but the kids & adults alike were frustrated & demoralized. We adults felt pretty dumb. After all we couldn't even manage the easiest level. I'm thinking I will not ever return to try again. Our room was very low budget in terms of the props & decor, visually very austere, if you will. And there are so many other decent entertainment options out there, places where the kids can enjoy seeing me cheerfully absorb a healthy dose of humility, and where there's an adult beverage or two available for purchase, you know, to soften the blow.

His enthusiasm and wit were perfect for when we needed a hint to make it to the next section. He was kind and personable and never made us feel stupid, which I think is pretty important. Overall a great escape experience and I would highly recommend it. Tell them John sent you and Ask for Andy!!

Escape RI is really an adventure for those who take part of it.... The staff sends you into a themed, immersive game space filled with puzzles, and you have to solve them all in order to "escape" within the hour. Now after the pandemic, all games are private, so you only go in with people you know. The are several room and several types of experiences! While you play, the venue is being constantly monitored by a trained Game Operator, and an emergency exit is always available in case of discomfort or actual emergency. You are never locked in a room. The lights may get dim at some points, but there's no (intentionally) spooky music or sounds, no frightening pictures, and certainly no one is going to jump out at you. All surfaces are sanitized regularly by the staff. The base price to rent one of the rooms is $79 which includes two admission tickets, which is also the minimum number of players needed to play our games. Each additional ticket is an additional $29 per person. Each room has individual capacity limits. The smallest game room can hold up to 4 players, two of the game rooms can hold up to 6 players each, and the largest game can hold up to 10. Our group needed some help in some of the rooms with the puzzles and clues, so you can ask for help and the operator will help you with hints. At the end of the game, we did not Escape, but it was a fun experience about teamwork, leadership, puzzle solving, and much more.... LOL...

"Nonna's House" was a well designed room with a good background story and a variety of different puzzles mixed in, some with more advanced mechanics. I wish the ending was a little more conclusive and included Nonna a bit more rather than simply us finding the money and exiting the room, but that's us being nitpick-y. Ocean State Escape has not been open long, but so far they are doing a nice job keeping up with the bigger names in the state. There is some room for improvement - as one would expect for any new business - but they have a lot of true potential. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with in the future. Keep up the great work, folks!

Really enjoyed the "La Cosa Nostra" room! My husband and I were looking to do a daytime date and…read morethis was a perfect indoor activity. It was definitely tough but so much fun and satisfying cracking the codes / clues. The "set" was very well done with an actual car in the room and a mural backdrop of a street. Everything was well utilized and locks weren't sticky. Super creative in the different ways the codes/keys were hidden too. The guy running it was friendly and helps you out with clues if you're in need of them, which you pace out. We probably should've gotten more clues sooner since we didn't escape the room. We probably got to about 60% of them (had a whole room we didn't get around to unlocking), which we were warned it is tough for 2 people, but we were up for the challenge. What I really like about this place is the discounts to return (half off I think to do the same room). What a great idea to get repeat customers. They also have another deal to buy discount passes only right after you finish a game.

Access to this facility is open to all students of RIC, one of those many pesky fees you'll see…read morelisted on your tuition bill. I figure, if I have to pay the fee anyway I may as well give the place a shot. The Rec Center has a large pool, an indoor track, weight room on the first floor, cardio room on the second. There is also an area right when you walk in where you can sit and study. The cardio area is nice because it has really large windows that let light in. It can get hot if you're in the sunlight for too long, but if you mention it the staff can lower some automatic blinds. The shower/ locker room is clean enough. The initial activation process was a hassle because you have to sign an electronic waiver, but you can only access it after watching a safety video and the ric mobile site is pure trash and does not load properly. The woman working the front desk was nice enough to let me use her work computer to complete the process. All in all the whole place is adequate and if your a student at RIC that wants to work out you should use this space.

This is the part of campus that is done right…read more For all the things we complain about at RIC, the Recreation Center is the one that will get the most praise. It's a beautiful, brand new facility that is clean and has a decent amount of equipment. To highlight key points: - Free weights go up to 100 lbs (in increments of 5 lbs) - 2 squat racks - 5 bench press stations (2 incline, 1 decline, and 2 flat bench) - Indoor pool and track field - Plenty of cardio machines upstairs - Decent amount of machines specific to muscle groups (ex: Lat pull down and seated chest press machines). - Clean locker rooms and bathrooms I only have two complaints. One would be the lack of attachments that go along with the jungle pulleys. There are no straight bars, row bars, or v-handles. That truly deters from having variety in a workout and in a away, takes away from a quality workout as well. Additionally, there aren't any unique machines here. It's pretty standard equipment and nothing out of the ordinary. Secondly, the hours of operation need more consistency. The gym is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM, yet every other day of the week (including Friday), they open at 7 AM? Weird. But, it's definitely worth your time to come here. The Rec Center fee per semester is reasonable, and it's such a convenience. I'd recommend this gym to any Rhode Island College student or faculty member, encouraging them to make use of it.
