Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the decor, details, and very friendly gamemasters; hints arrive on time and see beginners through tough sections. The level is clearly above average and spans multiple rooms, often with classic keys and locks. Groups of varied ages had fun but were often tight on time. A few found the story less surprising and the set more good than overwhelming.
WeaknessesVery hard for beginners and quickly frustrating without hints. Lots of key‑and‑lock logic isn’t for everyone, and big plot twists are rarely mentioned. The decor strikes some as solid rather than wow.
StrengthsPuzzles are high-quality, logical, and nicely embedded in symbolism; the multi-room structure creates flow. The on-site team is attentive and helpful, and the ending feels complete.
SecurityGood briefing and ongoing monitoring create a secure feeling, even as you move through multiple rooms. Hints come discreetly and take the stress out.
Level of fearNo horror and no jump scares; more in your head than fright. Not scary for children, but the difficulty suits older teens and adults.
Actors' gameNo live acting mentioned; interaction runs through attentive gamemasters who give timely hints, such as Sarah. The hosting is repeatedly described as very friendly.
Quality of riddlesVery challenging, but fair and understandable. A mix of symbolism, mechanics, and many classic key/lock tasks; teamwork pays off. The use of multiple rooms adds variety.
PlotYou follow the trail of the missing professor and decipher clues and symbols with a clear conspiracy flair. The story carries through to a coherent conclusion, without a barrage of big twists.
Difficulty levelVery hard and clearly aimed at experienced players; beginners should expect lots of hints. The time pressure is palpable, and many teams only just make it.

Very challenging with very difficult puzzles—not for beginners. I still had fun, even though the big plot twist didn’t materialize; overall 8 out of 10, service 10 out of 10, interior 7 out of 10, and the difficulty is very high.

There were six of us—four old hands and two newcomers—and it was a clear step above the usual level. Multiple areas in the room, good puzzles, strong set design, and a wonderful finale; we finished just in time and found the story cohesive.

As a beginner, I quickly hit my limit, but the hints arrived at just the right moments and nothing felt arbitrary. Very challenging, very fair, and that Harvard vibe carries it. I’ll be back with more experience.

Our first escape game: Illuminati is very nicely decorated and feels like a playable Da Vinci Code. With a well-timed nudge from Sarah, we almost made it. Thanks for the great experience!
