REA Reaction
Every once in a while an escape room company opens up and I can immediately feel that the creators behind it did their homework. Everything about 303 Escape made it clear to us that an abundance of thought and craft went into their work.
In Chapter 1: Room 303, we saw a clinic in thoughtful design. This included the location and manner that the story was delivered in, a game world that started in the lobby, extended through the hallways, and into the game, and a level of care that almost no one puts into cluing and interaction design.
Seriously, the amount of care that 303 Escape put into their interaction design was so great that it actually pulled me out of the fiction a few times because I was filled with so much appreciation for their thoughtful work.
Where I felt 303 Escape could improve Chapter 1 was in closing the story. The narrative came on strong at the beginning, but felt less relevant at the conclusion.
Overall, Chapter 1: Room 303 was a fantastic game and a remarkable achievement for a company's first escape room. If you're in the Denver area 303 Escape is a must visit, and you should play both Chapter 1 & Chapter 2, in order.
