That said, with full projection and the lighting to support it color was problematic, and walking across projections irked some of our teammates.

➕/➖ With a small set and thematic, projected decor, plus an in-game actor, the space felt vibrant. ➕ Trap Door danced through one cliched escape room trope with creative and wonderfully thematic cluing. They also read the room brilliantly to provide just enough hinting without ever overstepping. They brought great energy (or, lack thereof, as the case may be) and it elevated the game. (On the plus side, with an in-game actor as a hint system, loose cluing can be taped together on the fly.) ➖ One puzzle felt entirely too ambiguous. We were also stuck more figuratively by colors in low lighting. ➕ The gameplay flowed well and the puzzles generally solved cleanly. These riddles provided exceptional aha moments… which we experienced sometimes as a team, and other times individually. If there was ever an escape room in which to place riddles, this was the one. ➕ Trap Door solved the riddle of riddles. It had a moderate level of difficulty.Ĭore gameplay revolved around observing, making connections, solving puzzles, interacting with the actors… and drinking “tea,” of course. It involved actors, boozy “tea,” and puzzles. Trap Door Escape’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party was an atypical escape room. In the session, we had to make sense of his madness and of course, indulge in the beverage of his choosing. We entered a “group therapy” session with one of the Institution’s more well-behaved patients. Set in the same world as Trap Door’s other Alice in Wonderland game We’re All Mad Here, we were patients at the Red Heart Mental Institution. An intimate game with some clever puzzle design.

Best for players with at least some experience.

If you’re in Eastern Pennsylvania, this is one of the strongest escape games available. We’re truly happy that we played the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party… and that’s not just because Trap Door Escape opened a distillery… which was evident in their selection of “tea” for this experience. Where Mad Hatter’s Tea Party could benefit from iteration would be in a few of the more ambiguously clued puzzles, some lighting choices, and one very sticky set of props in need of a cleaning (and possibly a rebuild). Riddles narratively made sense in a game centered around the Mad Hatter, and Trap Door dreamt up a method for making these feel fun, relevant, and fair. They’re either too obvious or too opaque… and they rarely feel in the spirit of escape games. Riddles in escape rooms are usually terrible.
