Hi all
In July 2023, my wife had a conference in Hawaii so we took our girls for a 2 week holiday. Our first stop was a week on the island of Maui, which was beautiful. It was our second time there, but the first time for our daughters. They loved the resort and nearby Lahaina. We were very lucky to have spent a little time in Lahaina while we there, as only a few weeks after we returned to Sydney it was decimated by bushfires. It was incredibly sad seeing footage of a place we had visited only weeks before completely gone.
After taking our girls to see the beautiful Mount Haleakala one morning, we checked out Mystery Maui Escape Rooms on the way back to our resort. I had spent some time online researching the best rooms to play in Maui and their room called The Ramen Shop came out on top. We were our team of usual 4 adults, together with our 2 daughters for this escape.
The Ramen Shop was our 226th escape room to date. The summary of the room from their website is as follows:
The dread pirate Captain Sam Bellamy has managed to obtain a booty unlike any ever seen by mortal men. But tonight, he and his men are ashore, celebrating their success and spending their ill-gotten gains. Any enterprising pirate, such as yourself, could sneak aboard and get your hands on Bellamy's Booty, if you're quick enough!
Here is what I thought of The Ramen Shop:
·
the
standout part of this experience was the puzzles. There were a lot of puzzles
to get through in just 60 minutes and there was a moment in the game where we
thought we might not actually escape in time.
Luckily we were able to speed through the last few puzzles and managed
to escape with a couple of minutes to spare;
·
the
theming was nicely done and the space felt like an authentic Chinese restaurant. The puzzles were varied and used interesting
elements, all of which suited the theme and storyline well;
·
wall
treatments were awesome, as were the props used throughout (which all made
sense in the space and followed the backstory well);
·
compared
to many other rooms that we have played, there was not a huge amount of tech in
The Ramen Shop, but the tech that was used was well utilised and well
concealed; and
· the room was definitely family-friendly. There was one element that was slightly confronting for younger kids, but it was managed well (and our 7 and 11yos had no issues).
We really enjoyed our time at Mystery Maui Escape Room. The room was challenging and contained so many puzzles that for the first time in a long time, we came close to not escaping. The adults and kids alike had a ball.
