The Roosevelt Escape room is Palace Games’ second escape room to enter the market and it does not disappoint! Definitely a huge step up in terms of theme compared to the Houdini Escape Room and just as equal in terms of puzzle quality. This escape room is definitely not for beginners and I would recommend having done a few other rooms before tackling this one.
The theme for this room is American History as you follow the guidance of Former president Theodore Roosevelt. You are put to the test with difficult challenges since World War I is just around the corner. The ambiance of this room is dynamic as you progress through the room. The puzzles add to the theme as you journey through the challenges set forth before you.
The puzzles are challenging, but not impossible. With some logic and teamwork even the most difficult puzzle is solvable. The room presents many puzzles and is partly linear and partly not. This presents a great mix of puzzles for large groups and everyone is always contributing.
What stands out most from this escape room is the journey you embark as you progress through the room. The only reason why I did not give this room a 10/10 is because I wanted my #1 escape room to be the sole 10/10 rating, which is also an escape room from Palace Games as of September 2021. Would highly recommend this room!
For Palace Games, I’d recommend playing in order of release.
