Comments:
The Inheritance at Narrow Escape Rooms marked our team's 23rd room, albeit with one of our usual four members missing. It was my personal 26th room and our initial visit to Narrow Escape, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Despite being organized at the last minute, we were grateful that one of the owners, Shelley, was available to accommodate us on a Monday night.

The room's design was exceptional. The flow was seamless, incorporating both linear elements and sections where players could split off into pairs to solve puzzles. We encountered a variety of puzzles, some of which were entirely new to us, adding a refreshing twist to the experience. The theming and backstory were consistent and prominent throughout the entire room, with every element contributing to the overall cohesion. Notably, each puzzle felt purposeful and well-placed.

Overall, we had a fantastic time, successfully escaping Narrow's hardest room with approximately six minutes remaining. We extend a big thank you to Shelley, who took the time to engage with us before and after the room, discussing all things escape rooms. Her passion for the craft was evident, making our experience even more enjoyable. We look forward to returning to tackle Narrow's other two rooms!
