DaVinci's Office
“Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest minds this world has ever known. He did so many things that we’re still trying to understand. Many have tried and failed. His office is still intact and is heavily guarded but you manage to sneak in to learn more. You have 60 minutes to find his secrets before the guards find you.”
We have not yet completed a review of DaVinci’s Office at Confundrum in Burlington. We hope to experience this room soon.
What others are saying
DaVinci’s Office is a small, straightforward room, and one enthusiast called it Confundrum’s easiest. Players generally see it as a solid starter room or an easy add-on rather than a highlight. One Morty reviewer said it lacks the wow factor of the company’s other rooms.
The We Try To Escape blog loved the decor, saying it feels like stepping back in time into Da Vinci’s own office. They also enjoyed the many theme-related puzzles and the live hints delivered on a big screen. Players on Morty and Reddit describe the puzzles as well thought out and varied, with a good theme, and many say the room isn’t too difficult. Game masters are praised as friendly and willing to adjust hints to suit the group. Reviewers suggest two to four players, since the full five can feel crowded.
The common complaints are about the space itself. It’s a single, small, dimly lit room played by flashlight. One Reddit commenter, apparently describing this room, said it was so dark they couldn’t see well enough to solve the puzzles. The room has no full ceiling, and one player said you could hear staff talking the whole time, which hurt the immersion. One experienced reviewer felt the props and scenery needed some care, such as faded clues, graffiti in books and foam walls in need of repair. The puzzles are linear and rely entirely on traditional locks, and opinions on difficulty vary: some found it easy, while others got stuck early or found it tough with only two people.
