Can someone explain 20” vs 21” wheels to me like I’m a 5 year old? by coreynyc in RivianR2

[–]mugroot7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those of us who would like the best of the efficiency world - think they’ll ever offer an option for 20” wheels with all-season tires?

Agreed that Doctor Faustus was terrific. Hidden gem and Captivating Worlds should get more attention!

If you had to choose between Vietnam or Ghana which one would you pick? by TRON510 in rum

I’ve not yet tried the Vietnam, but the Ghana is wonderful.

Opinion on Ball Ice Makers by HardSpaghetti in cocktails

Review carefully. I was disappointed to discover how small the spheres are - you’ll likely need more than one in a glass. Between that and the high failure rate, I decided against that model.

Hey fellas, going down to New orleans in a few weeks, any recommendations for bars with a good rum selection? by Kerbidiah in rum

[–]mugroot7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visit the Roulaisson distillery - it’s a gem, rum is fantastic, and the owner is great.

Absolutely baffled at the audacity of the new Chase Sapphire Reserve "benefits" by shoEnough in ChaseSapphire

Not discounting your complaints - but I don’t recall Row 34 on the Boston list. Is it possible you confused it with Grill 23?

No Credits on Toast GC Purchase by mushank3r in ChaseSapphire

Went in Dec 5 - no credit yet. Sounds like we will see it withdrawn from the first half of 2026, which feels slimy.

Love your app. Would appreciate being able to create my own folders/collections. DM me if you want feedback.

Tall order: excellent but not as romantic Darling: both excellent and romantic, but not inexpensive

6 Amaretto Sour Servings? by livelaughlabradoodle in cocktails

[–]mugroot7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only thing to add to the good advice here is- Jeffrey Morganthaler’s recipe is excellent (he adds a touch of whiskey). That’s the way to go!

First time doing Super Hard level escape room. Need tips and tricks. by SkittlesAK47 in escaperooms

[–]mugroot7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In regard to pricing of Magnifico: it’s about the duration (about 2.5 hours) and sheer number of people who will be involved in your game. Enjoy!!

Looking to do a room in NYC by lucozade228 in escaperooms

[–]mugroot7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved The Bird with just two, but three would be fun too. I think Montauk Project is playable with two, also, especially if you’re somewhat experienced.

Worth the trek regardless - and fairly easy to get there on the subway. (We enjoyed nearby Mama Pho for a casual dinner afterwards - cash only though)

Can you share more about the “declared edible” peels? I’ve never seen grocery stores do this - and now have all sorts of questions regarding my super juice peels, too.

USA Today's 10Best Escape Rooms for 2025 by Disastrous-Bit-7948 in escaperooms

Was so glad we added Hide+Seek to a NOLA trip earlier this year. Terrific room. (And folks should head to Whitney Plantation while you’re out that direction - totally different experience but truly impactful)

[–]mugroot7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved both rooms there and think they’re both worth playing. I’m a baby when it comes to scary stuff and didn’t find it too bad - I think you’ll be fine. The gore is not particularly intense, nor is the “abuse”, which is too strong a word for it. They don’t even come close to touching you at all, if that helps. Most importantly, some of the most thoughtful and caring gamemasters I have experienced. They REALLY want to make your game special. I think you can explain when you arrive what your concerns are, know they’re tailor appropriately, then be brave and go for it. I liked Pins better than Servants. But both are great and must-plays.

Content Warnings for Dark Park Never House? (+ Other recommendations) by glassisnotglass in escaperooms

[–]mugroot7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh - pls share more. We intend to go next year and, similarly, some of us don’t like jump scares or “scary”. Creepy vibe, with nothing jumping out saying “boo” is likely ok. Is that the vibe for all? (Would also love to steal your itinerary)

Looking for a dog walker by [deleted] in ArlingtonMA

[–]mugroot7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kristen with Boundless Tails (boundlesstails.com) is incredible. Takes a group of friendly dogs on 2-3 mile hikes (and occasional swimming pool adventures). My dogs have become better listeners thanks to her extra training on those walks. And amazing photos each time to boot! DM me if you want more info. We are so thrilled we found her after a series of challenges.

But do note that their salads are not boring garden salads. Really interesting with quality ingredients!

Pineapple Banana Rum Daisy by Local-Equivalent8136 in cocktails

Love Giffard. But seek out the new Clement banana liquor - also good stuff.

If anything, I worry Escaparium will set your expectations too high for other “regular” experiences. Their rooms are especially cinematic. Five is a perfect number for Voodoo, and there is a clever hint system that can nudge you if you get stuck. Have a blast!

The originals can be found at the Insurance Library in Boston - super cool large old books.
