TODD FRIEDLINE certified reviewer June 17, 2018
This is a very fun show/game! As an escape room, the puzzles are just the right level of difficulty. And juxtaposing that against the absurdity of Waiting for Godot fits perfectly. A special shout out to the actors who go WAY above and beyond to make sure you get the clues you need. This is my choice for Pick of the Fringe.... full review

Escape from Godot was amazing!!! It was a really ingenious immersive experience blending good theater with escape room. The performers did Beckett justice and the puzzles were ingenious and creative. I think it satisfies both the theater nerds and escape room fanatics. I hope this becomes a thing beyond the Fringe because it is so good!... full review

Potentially the most joyfully odd concept at this year’s Fringe festival is part revival of the classic Beckett existential romp Waiting for Godot and part escape room. The cast led us on a truly fun and bizarre journey. It’s wonderfully weird. Absolute fun for the small audience, this interactive piece had me laughing out loud as the audience joined together to figure out what we were supposed to be doing. The audience plays an active roll in making sure the show keeps moving for. It's clever and fun! Because this is actually an escape game that is played out by the audience as the play is performed, I am going to remain light on details. ... full review
