Very different from Escape Room Niagara Falls' The Castle, this game is a single-room, moderately difficult escape. Initially worried that The Attic would be littered with red herrings, Escape Room Niagara Falls does a great job of keeping the unimportant objects out of reach. You will end up using nearly every inch of this room at one point or another! The Attic's difficulty is fit for puzzlers with most levels of experience, but it may be a little difficult for those who are new to the genre. Hints are slipped under the door by staff members tracking your progress, eliminating the need for a stoppage in play. While it’s nice that immersion is not broken, it does take away from a bit of the self-accomplishment attained from solving puzzles without assistance. There’s a happy medium somewhere between breaking immersion and allowing players enough time to work out tough puzzles before asking for a hint! Overall, The Attic is a solid room for slightly more experienced puzzlers in the Niagara area!
