maryjaden Posted June 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2017 12 guests are locked in a room and are given clues to escape. You have 1 hour. I believe they are only on Quantum class ships and Harmony. It is really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted June 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Had an absolute blast on the Harmony escape room. Are there a lot of props that have to be setup? Is the room used for other things different part of the days? Do you have to punch a code in the door to get out, or is there an RC employee that acknowledges when you have the right answer? I didn't think this would interest me, but my wife loved it on land so we may do it on Symphony assuming she will have it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayneb236 Posted June 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2017 There are props lying all over, some in plain view, some you have to search for. The room is only for the escape and there is a staff member who is in there with you. They will offer very small clues if needed and will assist if one of the puzzles acts up.

splendoraway Posted June 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2017 How and when can you sign up for the escape room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayneb236 Posted June 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It came up available on the cruise planner activities page. Not sure of the time frame. I just checked every once in a while and one day it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee & Chilli Posted June 28, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2017 On a recent Anthem sailing the Escape did not appear in the cruise planner. I signed out once on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukkian Posted June 28, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 28, 2017 My family and I have done many of these on land, and if we were going on a boat with one, would definitely sign up. If you have never done, it can be allot of fun, if done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracer Posted June 28, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Looks neat, does each Day have different ways to solve the clues? I ask because I would hate that the 6 of us that are signed up for it, the other 6 maybe have some knowledge and make it not as fun. I was just wondering if the solving is random on what and how they do it. I did see where it costs $8.99 to sign up for each person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayneb236 Posted June 28, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Sadly it's just one scenario. would loved to have done more. Would probably be pretty difficult to have more than one puzzle in there the way it's set up. Really directed towards the puzzle you have to solve. Lots of stuff in there. It's worth the 8.99 in my opinion. By the way, we solved it in 59 minutes and 55 seconds. It ain't easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosby99 Posted June 28, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2017 A few pictures from when we did it. http://www.modernlifeisgood.com/2016/10/17/escape-rubicon-harmony-seas/ It isn't easy but it was fun...it also used to be free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellenw Posted June 29, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My sister and I did this on Harmony. When we first heard the description, we thought "no way". Then, the more we thought about it, decided to give it a try. It was a blast. We weren't successful - needed another 5 to 10 minutes and we would have been there. Everyone in the group brings something different. There is section that one of our group solved that I couldn't understand even after we had the solution! But I was able to solve other things that were helpful to the group. I believe there is honor among those that have already done the Rubicon. Doubt that anyone would do it again just for bragging rights (undeserved bragging rights). I would take no pride in solving it if it was due to getting the solution from someone that already did it. Book it! You will enjoy it. Remember - share everything you find with everyone else in your group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dremac373 Posted June 29, 2017 #18 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I first heard about this while watching a ship review of Harmony I believe, they didn't show the inside only the location. I knew of these popping up recently over the past year and wanted to try, hopefully Symphony has one I'd love to try it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayneb236 Posted June 29, 2017 #21 Share Posted June 29, 2017 We nor any of the others who did it with us didn't consider it a waste at all. Was a very fun activity and would do it again in a heartbeat. Not all things are for everyone. We don't gamble and consider the hours people spend in the casino a waste, or playing bingo, or sitting at a bar getting toasted. Thank goodness for individuality and freedom of choice. Would be boring without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pasodancer Posted June 29, 2017 #23 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Thank you so much for the photos of the Escape Room - had no idea it was so elaborate. Looks like a fun way to spent an hour on a sea day - looking forward to trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a fun way to spent an hour on a sea day - looking forward to trying it. Actually the photos don't really do it justice. The are noises and lights going off everywhere. It is very impressive and well designed. Unfortunately my contribution was pretty poor...I can't concentrate in noisy environments:) Don't know what Anthem is like as I think it shares the same space as some of the teen facilities and is more of a temporary structure.
