My friend Jennie had this to say about Chamber of Illusions: "This is the first escape room I've participated in, and it was everything I'd hoped it would be, and more! The sets, the puzzles, the decor and ambiance, it was all so professional and truly immersive! Our group finished within the allotted time, but it wasn't easy! The rooms kept you guessing every step of the way. This would be a wonderful team-building experience to have with family members or coworkers.Ī post shared by Enter the Imaginarium PGH on at 10:36am PDT My group (including three strangers that we quickly got to know!) had a ton of fun as we worked together to battle the puzzles in each room. Something we quickly learned is that being "smart" isn't the key to conquering the Imaginarium – teamwork, strategy, and memory are. There's nothing more frustratingly exhilarating then realizing that the lock you were sure held the secret to your escape actually didn't matter at all! This experience was our group's favorite of the two rooms. The theme of this room is magic and misdirection, and boy were there misdirections. The first escape room we did was Chamber of Illusions. I couldn't wait to see what experience these two masters of excitement would cook up between them. Their haunted attractions are known for being elaborate, immersive, and terrifying. ScareHouse, of course, is responsible for all things horrifying. Theater isn't a passive experience with Bricolage, but a connection between the artist and the audience. Bricolage is an intimate theater in downtown Pittsburgh with the mission to immerse the audience in adventurous theatrical experiences to alter perceptions. Knowing that Enter the Imaginarium is a project of both Bricolage and ScareHouse made me even more excited to try out these escape rooms. Add in the braintrust of puzzle designers and you get "the ultimate escape room experience" in the region." Their cumulative creative 'know-how' in designing immaculate sets, intricate storylines, and immersive sound and lighting effects, takes this experience to the next level when it comes to player immersion. Jason Fisher, General Manager of Enter the Imaginarium stresses that, "Part of what makes the Imaginarium so incredibly unforgettable is the inaugural collaborative efforts of nationally renowned local creators Bricolage Production Company and ScareHouse.
