Reviews by escape room review sites

Escape rooms can be a great tool for tricking an audience into learning something, and A Trail of Burke and Hare gets that balance pretty good. In fact, so do all of Escape the Past‘s escape rooms, for that matter! I wish more escape rooms took note of the local history and built their experiences around it.
