**🌲 "Escape Room: Forest of Confusion" 🌲**

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1 star, because zero isn’t an option)

Ah, where do I begin? Probably somewhere around the time I walked into a "forest cabin" escape room that had about as much forest in it as a concrete parking garage. Spoiler alert: there was no cabin either — unless you count a sad IKEA shelf and a fake plant giving up on life in the corner.

The puzzles were masterclasses in confusion. Think less "clever riddles" and more "cryptic gibberish left by a sleep-deprived raccoon." There were no instructions, no clues, no helpful nudge in the right direction — just pure, uncut bewilderment. Starting the first clue was like trying to find WiFi in a cave: technically possible, but mostly filled with disappointment and crying.

One sign did stand out though: *“Don’t pull the leaves.”*

Naturally, we pulled the leaves. Nothing happened. That, as it turns out, was the most interactive moment in the entire experience.

In short: If you enjoy feeling like you're being pranked for 60 minutes while surrounded by sad décor and cryptic chaos, this is your Disneyland. Otherwise, maybe just go for a walk in an actual forest — it’s more immersive and you might even learn something.

Escape? I barely escaped with my dignity.

The escape rooms at the time is key is definitely a GO TO for me, this was the absolute best escape room place I've been by far!!! Keep making more rooms and keep up with the good work!

This escape room isn’t for the faint hearted. I would recommend at least 4 players minimum. However puzzles are confusing and complicated. Recommended for experts for sure. I definitely will be sticking to difficulties 3 or less from now on
