    Once Upon an Escape

    • Escape room

    Ugh, this room felt just on the borderline of meh and bad. I wouldn’t ever really recommend this game to anyone, especially compared to some of Once Upon an Escape’s other rooms. The room had fairly weak set design, weak puzzle design, bad flow, just, the definition of “bleh”.

    Ugh, I wish there was a meh option on Morty because this room had some cool elements, and some really not cool elements. I play tested it, and recently came back to play the 1.0 version, with little other than some set dressings having changed. Good: atmosphere, soundtrack, set design Bad: Puzzles, Over reliance on story over gameplay, some elements of the set.

    This was a really cool room, it just kept expanding. Lots of unique puzzles. Great set design. Only gripes (and these apply to all of their rooms) are the time reminders over walkie talkies, and it wasn’t always clear what (if anything) opened when you completed a puzzle.

    CLOSED A Re theming of their original room, gameplay wise almost if not entirely identical to The Mask, which was my first escape room, so it holds a special place in my heart but as that was years ago, I don’t remember much from it, other than a cool RC Car section.

    -Set Design: they were going for a Mission Control/Film Studio look, and I can see it, but it just wasn’t anything phenomenal. -Puzzles: OMG so not intuitive, several things not working, no clear flow, just honestly abysmal. -Overall: by far my least favorite at this location, no cool puzzles, nothing very cool about the set, honestly like a 3.5/10.

    After having played all of Dare’s games, I think this would be my third place overall, the set was great, there were some good puzzles and some unique stuff. I liked how immersive it was, from the temperature to soundtrack to all the rest of the little details. It’s evident that a lot of thought was put in this game, and that translates to all elements of the game

    Very inmemorable. Fairly standard set design, standard puzzles. Nothing special in a good way or a bad way, just, there.

    CLOSED Definitely Break Through Moana’s best room. The cages you start locked up and handcuffed in were a really refreshing new thing at the time, and the room had some cool puzzles, good atmosphere and good story. Definitely some nice nostalgia from this room.

    Really enjoyable, good set design, some pretty memorable aspects. Probably my favorite at puzzle room, some of their best work.

    The Escape Ventures

    • Escape room

    Surprisingly this was my least favorite of the games at Escape Ventures. That’s not to say this game was bad by any means, it definitely wasn’t. Great puzzle design, great atmosphere, etc…What dragged it down a ways for me was that in spite of having more than 8 minutes remaining, and having already played 3 games at this point our new GM felt very pushy with unwarranted clues. My party tends to play for as few clues as possible and will stubbornly wait for clues. As a GM I understand and accept nudges but these felt a little too frequent and a little too heavy handed. Otherwise though, this room was really good and is absolutely deserving of the praise it gets.
