Company Hourglass Escape Rooms

My main complaint is the hint approach. Locks are labeled to match hints, but if you don’t know which puzzle pairs with which lock, you can get spoiled on something you haven’t reached and then need another hint for the thing you were actually doing. It tries to be non‑linear yet feels designed to be linear, and several props were coming apart. Some puzzles were fun, and with updates and a new hin... Expand

Classic Hourglass fun with a full-on Alice vibe. It’s really a beginner-level room despite the medium tag, loaded with locks and a clear 1-2-3 flow that tells you what kind of code you need next. We escaped in under half the time with three people. Hints run off a tablet with point deductions for easier or harder nudges, which is neat but not adaptive like a live GM. It’s a single-room game and th... Expand

Our group digs sci‑fi, and the set scratched that itch. A few puzzles were genuinely clever and we loved the countdown pressure. We did need a nudge because the path forward wasn’t obvious, but we still left smiling. Fix the hint system and this could sing.

We’ve enjoyed Hourglass rooms in Searcy and Russellville, and Mob Boss delivered again. It’s linear with diverse, on-theme puzzles and a playful surprise at the end. We moved quickly thanks to experience, though a few solves may lean on niche know-how. Staff were great.

Not a hard room, yet some puzzles take too long even after you’ve figured them out. An early step was broken and we didn’t catch it for a while; the GM fixed it fast once we asked, but a more active GM would’ve spared the frustration.

Loved the mob vibe from the first lock to the last reveal. Linear flow kept our group synced, puzzles were clever without being obscure, and the finale made us grin. Perfect pick for friends trying their first escape.

First impression was awesome, but the space needs real upkeep. Pieces were literally falling apart, and the GM mentioned a recent incident that damaged the room. The biggest issue across Hourglass for me is the weak hint system; without an active GM, the experience never reaches great.

We’ve played Hourglass in Searcy and Russellville and really like how their rooms are laid out. Finding Bigfoot was a fun, linear adventure with basic-but-enjoyable puzzles and clearer, easier clues, yet still a touch of challenge. The sequential labels kept the flow tight, even if that style isn’t for everyone, and everything supported the Bigfoot search theme.

Smart, on-theme puzzles and zero filler. Our teens felt included because of the linear layout, and the staff were gems. Left us buzzing.

Brought my teens and they had a blast. The Wonderland decor pops, the locks make sense, and we never felt stuck. Perfect intro room, and the price didn’t sting.
