Guide to our difficulty ratings and rating icons.

We are always asked if an escape room is easy or hard…and while we can make generalizations keep in mind that actual results may vary! Many time one of us is stumped with a puzzle and another person walks over and seemingly instantly finds the solution. That’s part of the fun of the cooperative aspect of an escape room - everyone an contribute in some way.

And difficulty can be impacted in many ways - for example when we are stumped it usually because we have failed to “find” something. Maybe we didn’t look in every drawer…maybe we didn’t look under the desk…or look of the other side of the paper! So some rooms can be more difficult than others because of the advanced (evil?) scavenging for clues that is required. When this is a particular issue we will mention it in our reviews with giving any spoilers of course.
