first time playing in an escape room, the staff were very friendly and professional, and explained things very clearly. the puzzle was fun and challenging, a lot of lateral thinking was needed. The staff gave good clues, without giving anything away. The location is almost immediately adjacent to Harbour Front MRT, making it extremely accessible. The game lasted an hour, which was a good timing, and there are a lot of nice spots to eat or drink outside to refresh afterwards. The staff kindly offered to take a pic of us as we left as a momento. We are planning to go again shortly.

We visited to the new outlet of The Escape Artist since we liked the other rooms in their old outlet which were pretty good. Upon arrival despite booking weeks ahead, we had to wait another 10-15mins for the room to be preset. Even as the male game master was doing the intro, he realised he forgot to hide the key hanging down from the locked gate and stopped his intro midway to leave to get a chair. Another game master entered twice mid game, once to adjust another faulty prop, and another to explain a puzzle to us, DURING the 60 mins which kinda left us short for time. Some puzzles were nice and creative, most were just impossible to even figure out because they didn’t make sense. Immersion wise it was okay, puzzles were somewhat poorly designed, but the game masters were not the best at facilitating the game which really negatively impacted our experience.

Returned to try out an actual physical escape room "Night before the Storm' at the new Harbourfront outlet. The experience did not disappoint as the puzzles and layout were in theme, well-designed. The nice staff also explained the story concept and gave hints very patiently. An excellent bonding chance for us friends.

My friends and I decided to go to an escape room together as most of us had never been before. The puzzle was actually quite interesting and moderately challenging - really good for beginners! We chose Count Dracula and had an hour to solve everything and escape. The props looked pretty realistic and the staff was really nice. Highly recommend!

The puzzles were stimulating and interesting ! Great as bonding activity for friends, family, ranging from physical challenges to stimulating challenges, you will never get bored ! Puzzles are also original, setup and storyline is very intriguing, allowing you to be immersed into the game itself. Sufficient clues were given, good level of difficulty while still being able to solve the puzzles and the setups were very realistic. Overall great experience, managed to escape !

The Last light is a rather fun and challenging escape room, making use full use of clever answer input mechanisms and observational skills. The puzzles are itself logical and well thought out, without much logical gaps.

Tried the lost Forest and it was tough but fun! Played with 8yo son and husband.
Managed to escape the room with hints provided by the staff there.

The room was very eerie and the music they played in the background made it even scarier. It was quite hard for us to figure out the clues and we had to use up all our chances to ask the staff for help. Overall it was a fun experience for us.

Overall, The Escape Artist presented us both an exciting and challenging experience.
As a 4 member team, we tried the ‘medium difficulty’ escape room. The hints given were subtle and challenges us to think out of the box.
The rooms were also well decorated with props and clues were were thought out and crafted.
Our team appreciates the staff’s friendliness and responsiveness as they were quick to provide hints when requested. Despite the overwhelming number of challengers playing their wide selection of games, we admire their promptness and efficiency.
All in all, we agreed that it is an experience that have exceeded our expectations. That said, we would definitely recommend this to our family and friends. We look forward to our next visit !

Hello! There are no jump scares in the game. Only scary props and references. Our focus is more on the puzzle solving and gameplay :) hope that helps!
