Kyle: The Hangover immerses you in a unique ambiance. Despite venturing through numerous spine-chilling escape rooms, this one stands out as the first and only labeled as an 'adults only room' sans any jump scares. It radiates a playful and mischievous energy, making our experience thoroughly enjoyable.

This escape room exudes a sly charm, paying homage to the film of the same name. It cleverly incorporates elements reminiscent of waking up after a wild night out. While some puzzles maintain a conventional tone, others explicitly signal that this is an exclusive 18+ adventure. The room offers a delightful mix of puzzles, ranging from traditional lock-and-key challenges (with keys ingeniously hidden in unique spots) to more sophisticated tech puzzles, seamlessly integrated as always. The inclusion of hunt-and-seek elements adds an appreciated layer of fun. The puzzles align seamlessly with the space, contributing cohesively to the storyline.

Unfortunately, success eluded us this time around. Entering the room with three instead of our usual four members certainly played its part. However, after the Gamesmaster walked us through the remaining challenges, we realized we had come eerily close to success. Considering the sheer amount of content in this beautifully crafted room, the experience was still fulfilling.

Simon: This room, as expected, had such a party vibe to it and was quite fun. Based on the movie "The Hangover" it certainly lived up to it's 18+ age rating. It was very lewd but in a tasteful and fun way. Despite the party vibe, the puzzles were challenging and did take a fair effort to solve. With that said, readers, once again I chose meth instead of math to help us escape this room ... it did not work! The lesson is: Don't take drugs kids ... sell them instead and make money! I'm just kidding, but I need to stay away from maths, it always fails me in escape rooms. There was a nice integration of the ambient music with the theme of the room. Very well done from Scram Escape Rooms.
