A detailed review from our recent escape adventure at Mysteries and Lasers!
Here's what to expect :D
We visited Mysteries and Lasers recently, and overall, it was a really good experience. The host was super friendly and explained all the rules clearly before we started, made us feel very comfortable.
We tried the Haunted Asylum room, which is apparently one of their easier escape challenges. But let me tell you, it's not as easy as it sounds! No team has managed to solve it without taking at least 3 clues and we were no exception. The puzzles were clever, and the entire setup kept us engaged till the end.
One thing I appreciated was how attentive the host was. They kept checking in and were quick to help whenever we were stuck or unsure about something.
Now, a quick heads-up: since it's a closed room, it might not be suitable for people who are claustrophobic. That said, there are emergency buttons inside, and the host keeps a close watch to ensure you're doing okay; so that’s reassuring.
They also have VR escape rooms and laser tag games. We didn’t try them this time, but if you're visiting, I’d suggest doing the physical rooms first, the experience feels more real and exciting.
There are a few things that could be better. The first couple of rooms weren’t well ventilated, it got quite hot and stuffy inside. The fans didn’t help much either. I’m not sure how comfortable it would be during peak summers. Also, there’s no water provided inside the rooms, which would be a nice touch considering how intense and sweaty it can get.
The haunted vibe could also be amped up a bit. The experience is fun in a group, but with some tweaks, it could genuinely send shivers down your spine!
Also, it’s slightly difficult to locate and there’s not much parking nearby; so plan your transport in advance.
All in all, it was great fun! Would definitely recommend giving it a shot. Just hope the team makes a few improvements to take the experience from good to truly amazing.
