Geisterjäger Brandon Darkmoor [Ghosthunter Brandon Darkmoor]The RoomEscape roomIRLThis was not so much a room escape as an escape experience. The puzzling is very linear and is a fairly minor part of the experience but it still was fun. Not quite as much fun imho as “go west” at their facility. But the story, set, acting and immersion were all strong enough to still make it feel like we were playing. And not that we were just along for the ride as I’ve had with other escape experiences.
The AttractionPalace GamesEscape roomIRLPlayed a lot of escape rooms and some more “experience oriented” rooms. Overall I was quite disappointed. Though the set design and technology was amazing, it felt very tasky and there were a few apparently arbitrary puzzles. The group finished in good time but after finishing there was a really embarrassed silence leaving the building. It didn’t feel playful. It didn’t feel like we had any agency. And the story telling just went on and on. It just felt tedious despite all of the fun window dressing like sets, pop culture references and so on.
Go WestThe RoomEscape roomIRLReally excellent escape room even though the staff characterized it as one of their older rooms. Was very impressed with the interaction of gameplay story and set. Superior to do many escape rooms I’ve played. And as a bonus the story aligns perfectly with being in Berlin.
