Dodge is the weakest of the Tulleys Rooms (not including the smaller games in the trailer outside). It's not a bad room by any means, just feels very sprawling and all over the place, in terms of theme, story and puzzles. The start is good, and then chaos unfurls as a larger area opens up and it dawns just how much there is to solve. Unlike Nethercott, it's challenging to split your group into multiple rooms which makes it challenging to progress in good time. The final puzzle is poor, which is unfortunate as it's a cool bit of tech, our GM had to open a side door to fix it for us mid game.
Otherwise, the room design and build is great, plus the props are of a great quality. The shooting mechanic was cool but didn't feel it worked too well, and there were some screens that did nothing in game. A decent game, but doesn't compare to the other Tulleys rooms
So much to do and all in such a relatively small space too (small for Tulleys!). This is a wonderful adventure in the old west where every single square inch of the area is used and the puzzles are both inventive and varied. The hosting was excellent with nudges coming just at the right point and a very speedy intervention when we had a prop issue.
A simply marvellous room
Another high quality and impressive scale room from Tulleys. Loved the theme and some of the clever puzzles and mechanics that fitted especially well with it.
Difficulty-wise we knew we were in for a tough time, especially as we didn't have our usual team. Though we didn't make it out before the hour, we really enjoyed the challenge of Dodge City. A word of advice - I wouldn't attempt this room with fewer than 3-4 experienced players, because of the volume and scale of needs to be done.
Our GM was fantastic - clear, helpful and positive both before and after the room. We'd previously had a disappointing experience with a GM in Outfitters, who gave us constant hints unprompted and we got out super early. Our GM here was much more balanced, only nudging us along a couple of times when we were nearer the end and clearly behind. IMO it's much more enjoyable to be given a chance to find and solve puzzles ourselves, even if we don't 'win' the overall game.
Just left totally deflated. Played as a team of 2 couple of years ago before they extended the time. It was our 70th room having a 100% escape rate and we didn't even get half way. Games master handed us 50% off to try again but honestly felt like they knew 2 players couldn't complete it so to make a bit of money we'll let them try again.
Shame and really put us off returning for other games. Just trying to make as much money as they can.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Dodge City is one of a small number of games that I deliberately played way after most enthusiasts had rushed to it, because expectations were high enough that it seemed worth saving for a suitable moment. I also wanted a larger team than usual. Where I choose to play most games with a team of two or three, Dodge was reputably only a little less tough than the infamous Nethercott Manor. We did in fact escape it in time, but with only a few minutes spare, and I was glad we’d brought the extra han...
Dodge City was our first room…and one of their hardest! Immediately on entering it’s obvious how Tulley’s have earned their reputation – the set design is amazing and extremely immersive, and there are surprises throughout the game. Even as a hardened spotter of fake doors and moving bookshelves, I soon gave up trying to anticipate what was coming next.
