From Delaware we head to Media, Pennsylvania to visit our next location - Xscape The Room. We were fortunate enough to meet with the owners to learn more about the company. Xscape The Room is located inside of a shared WeWork-type space and not only is the lobby really well designed... it's HUGE! There's couches, pool tables, a kitchen area, and a dining table available for you while you wait for your game to start. They currently have four rooms available and we are trying their newest room - "Motherboard". On their website, they specify that the "Motherboard" room is the only one that is not handicap accessible as it is a 2nd floor walk-up. Overall, everything about this room was great! The puzzle designs (both technological and traditional), storyline, concept, etc. There were many different puzzle variations and creative challenges that we haven't seen before. The one thing that we felt could've made it a little bit immersive is the lighting/ decor. Since we are part of a resistance infiltrating a company, we thought it would be a little bit dimmer and require the use of flashlights since we were "breaking in". We will definitely be back to try the rest of the rooms in the near future!

* UPDATE - We regret to inform that "Xscape" has closed.
