Take A Closer Look

My friends and I had a ton of fun!

Mark S. — “We love escape rooms, and Puzzle Effect is our absolute favorite. We have been missing them during the pandemic. I was so disappointed to miss the Labor Day weekend Prohibition outdoor “escape room” and was excited to see that they added another event the weekend of September 12-13. I managed to snag the last available slot, and my wife and I had a blast tracking down the gangsters who tried to pin their murder on Millie Mullins, threatening to keep her new speakeasy, The Moxie, from opening. The outdoor game was a walking tour of beautiful downtown SLO, solving puzzles to get combinations to unlock padlocks to open pockets on a backpack to get clues to the next destination. So much fun! Great experience. 10/10. Thank you Puzzle Effect for innovating in these challenging times. We can’t wait to try the new room, The Reel, when you re-open. P.S. Kristyn was an amazing host.
