Room 4 Escape is located in a mall. This is the only other escape room we tried in a mall other than 5 wits which isn't really a traditional escape room. We felt very cheerful entering this location as the paint colors were all very vibrant. This location definitely attracts younger aged players although when we tackled the puzzles, it was not as easy as we thought it would be. The owner has two talented daughters that helps him with the drawing and designing of the rooms. They currently have three 60 minute rooms ( all games can be set up in family friendly mode which is easier for younger kids) and three 15 minute ones. "Apartment Arrr"'s final goal is to find the pirates treasure and they stock to the story line. This room is not a high tech escape room but we felt that we still enjoyed their puzzle design and how clear and correlated they were. The only suggestion we have would be for some of the puzzles we had to do trial and error on which codes would go first after figuring out the right one or which direction to read the code from, so if there were some clear directions it could make the game flow a bit more clear. According to the owner we were the second group to get out with 2 people so we are quite proud of that. We hope more people can visit them and give them support and try out their games as the mall doesn't get much foot traffic so it's quite sad that people overlook this place. It's a great place to have a birthday party. And if you really can't make it to their place, they can come to you as well! They have "Rooms on the Road" where they take some of their 15 minute rooms and come to your location and set it up for game play! We tried one of their 15 minute rooms and will be giving a little review on that in a separate post.
