The Ministry Of Peculiarities

This is the best combination immersive theater & escape room that I have ever experienced. I’m an escape room enthusiast and honestly nothing has come close. The ensemble is amazing and the puzzles are fun and make sense in the story. Nothing feels forced.

I've done a lot of escape rooms in my life. All in different states and countries but this was the best one I've ever seen. From the moment you find the place and enter, it starts. The puzzles are fun and innovative and all the employees are great at running the show. Be sure to pay close attention to the story! I will definitely be keeping an eye out of their next escape room.

Such an amazing experience! It was so theatrical and the actors were just amazing! The production value was also pretty extraordinary! I have done a lot of escape rooms and this one definitely has been added to my top 5 fave rooms! If you like escape rooms that completely immerse you, then this is the one for you!

Word from the grapevine is that once you experience this gem of an escape room, anything else after will pale in comparison. The calibre of this escape room is just something else. If escape rooms were a sport, the Ministry of Peculiarities- Hope End would be the gold Olympian. There is all the Hollywood magic in this quirky, quaint, and brilliant escape room. Please go experience this spectacular wonder. I highly recommend that you request for actresses, Paris and Ellie, to be the characters in your escape room experience. They nailed their performances. Here's 2 versions to my review: a TLDR and one with a bit more details. TLDR version: What an incredible escape room experience with immersive storytelling brought to life by phenomenal actors/actresses. The moment the doors open for you to enter the establishment, your adventure already begins. I strongly feel that having 6 people minimum is a good, starting number (even though the actual minimum number of people is 4) for your investigation. The story is that an estate, called Hope End, can't be sold because it's haunted. As agents working with the Ministry of Peculiarities, your mission is to find out how the occupants who once lived in this home met their demise. The sets throughout are characters themselves. The puzzles/clues range from easy to more challenging, but there are hints (like good, hilarious ones too) along the way. This experience is perhaps the most unique of any escape rooms currently out there, and the attention to detail and care that goes into this is evident in every corner and crevice of the space utilized. I cannot recommend this enough for a unique and memorable experience. --- Here's my detailed review (if you're curious to read more): 100/10 absolutely recommend this escape room without reservations. What an extraordinary and gripping escape room that is deeply immersive from the moment you set foot at the door of the establishment. In particular, please ask for Paris to be the actress in your story. She is worth more than her weight in gold for her performance. This is story-telling at its finest with notable acting. The premise of this escape room is that as agents, you've been summoned by the ministry to solve what happened to the occupants who lived on this ancestral home called Hope End. The home is deemed unsellable because it's haunted. Once upon a time, the occupants who lived here met their demise, with the peculiar exception of Dolores Wright (née Hope). And thus, your investigation begins. The mechanics of the rooms, the costumes, and the makeup are all fantastic. The rooms you'll encounter are each so unique with so much attention to detail, that it will take time to take this all in. At some point in your adventure, you'll wonder who you can trust. Be forewarned, there are also some eerie moments especially because you're in the dark at times. I am no escape room enthusiast nor connoisseur, and I'm definitely a novice. But I will tell you though that if I made it through, you will too. See, I tend to shy away from games, especially partaking in escape rooms, because I feel I am awful at them. I can usually imagine my anxiety kicking in, in enclosed spaces, and I would be the weakest link/dead weight to my team. Did I also mention that I am a first-class wimp? So be forewarned because there are elements about this escape room that can come off eerie, but the nature of it is not horror or gory. Thank goodness. So much imagination, heart, and love went into the creation of this escape room, that I could absolutely tell the moment I entered. I immensely loved the time I spent here with my friends because this escape room was so well-written and highly executed, so I will treasure this magical experience. I hope to be back soon to explore the other missions when the Ministry of Peculiarities sends word.

Help Higgins get the mansion ready for sale. That was our mission. But it was so much more, Dolores appeared to share the history between her and her family and it's up to you to resolve it how you see fit. Heed her words... Or don't? There's more than one voice to listen to. Truly one of the best escape rooms we've done and I love the immersive theater experience that's tied to this. From start to finish they take you into their world. Best actors I've interacted with in something like this. We came in for a birthday and got a little surprise 🫢, would highly recommend coming in for an occasion! Call them and see if they need "help" with anything, you might be surprised as to how you can assist. I'm excited for the ministry's upcoming adventures! Definitely stop by hope's end. It's worth the risk, don't worry about how long you're there for.
