Review of "The Professor's Will" at Escape Key

Enticed by his promise to bequeath something to everyone in attendance, you and your party take one of the last remaining tables, excited to see what surprises await. The reading is lengthy but true to his word your group is handed an envelope and a strange box is placed on the table before you. While the events leading up to this moment have been truly bizarre, are you ready find out what the Professor’s Will has in store for you?

What others are saying

Escape Key’s long-running flagship, a challenging multi-room mystery with a scoring system that rewards bonus puzzles as well as escaping.

Google reviewers call it creative, elaborate and never boring, with fantastic puzzles, multiple rooms and hosts who give hints when needed; several groups had a great time even without escaping, and one large group of seven did get out. Reviewers on Morty praise its dedication and attention to detail and well-crafted mechanisms, and one big group found it handled their numbers flawlessly in beautiful rooms.

It is genuinely hard: Google reviewers describe it as difficult without hints, and one Morty reviewer who played with the minimum of three found the story lived mostly in optional side puzzles marked as red herrings, felt a sudden change in logic in the second half was mean, and ran into jammed or faded locks along with dark, cramped spaces.
