Bros for Life: Fraternity HeistThe Escape VenturesEscape roomIRLWhat a fantastic room! The atmosphere was very immersive! Every little detail was perfect. I can see why this won so many awards. The immersion was so fantastic! The puzzles were unique and loved how they were themed to the room. I’ve enjoyed all the rooms at this location, they do such a fantastic job. We had four people and two hints and escaped in 46 mins. So very doable room with beginner to intermediate experience.
Captain Spoopy BonesDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWhat a fantastic room! This was completely immersive, and felt like you were actually on the ship. Amazing combination of technology and props. We loved the split start, definitely need to have really good communication with your team. It was only two of us, and we managed to escape, although we had to restart the last puzzle multiple times, so our game master gave us an additional five minutes. The puzzles had a great combination of fairly easy, two medium, very complex. We did have to ask for a couple hints along the way. The ending of the story was absolutely fantastic. Great production value throughout the whole room. Highly recommend, and don’t let the difficulty scare a group of two away. If you have a larger group, there are a lot of puzzles. Multiple people can solve at the same time, had a great combination of puzzles.
Outage: No VacancyThe Escape VenturesEscape roomIRLFantastic dark room!! This was the first dark room we ever played, and when they say dark, it’s pitch dark as in can’t see your hand in front of your face dark. Wonderful tactile puzzles that were challenging enough but not too overwhelming. One particular puzzle had us stumped so we did need a clue, but we breezed through the others. Great layout where different people can work on different puzzles at the same time. Communication is definitely key since you can see anything. Highly recommend with 2 people. It was just the two of us and can’t imagine adding anymore people, I feel like we would be tripping all over each other. If you’re frightened by pitch black spaces, this may not be for you. We throughly enjoyed the experience and felt it was so well done!
DreamEscape Artists OrlandoEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room. It was very multi-layered, with loads of great nostalgic easter eggs for me. The puzzles were thought provoking but nothing was too difficult. I think this can be done with 2-4 players easily. We had a bit of time left and only needed one little clue. Unfortunately we had some technical difficulties at the end of the room, but our game master was great to help reset the broken pieces and simulate the ending properly. There were some very cool and unexpected puzzles for scenarios we haven’t experienced before that was pretty cool to work through.
The Satirical Miracle: A Jolly Tale Of Granny's BlackmailThe Escape VenturesEscape roomIRLThis was the first room we did at this location, and we absolutely loved it! The whole room had wonderful theming, even down to the smell of gingerbread when you first walk in. The entire flow of the room was beautifully put together and very entertaining. All the props were well made and very immersive. Puzzles were fun and logical, nothing overly complex- so this would be a great starter room for someone. This room had great little “hmmm” moments about Granny that they incorporated so well! I can’t wait to go back and check out the other rooms this location offers. The game master was super friendly. We enjoyed our experience through and through!
The DIEnerIntense Escape - Tampa LocationEscape roomIRLWhat a cool room! We have never done a room like this where you can pick how scary you want your experience, we opted to add the live actors and it definitely added such a fun layer to the whole experience. It was more funny then scary for us per say so I highly recommend it! As for the room, it wasn’t too difficult, all the puzzles made logical sense and they did a great job incorporating the theme into the puzzles. We can’t wait to go back to this location and try some other rooms!
The Video StoreDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLI can’t say enough amazing things about this room. This has jumped up near the top of my list of favorites. The theming was fantastic, absolutely wonderful, especially loved the nice dose of nostalgia. The puzzles were so wonderfully themed as well and they incorporated some unique uses of tech we really enjoyed! There were a lot of puzzles to this room! They varied from fairly simple to some thought provoking more complex ones. We had such a blast working through this room! We escaped with about 5 mins left and just two of us. There is definitely enough puzzles for multiple people to work on at once without tripping over each other. However I wouldn’t suggest more than 4 people as I think it would get a little tight. Highly recommend!
Puppet Heist: The Hand Of LifeThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLThis was a fantastic room, it’s not your typical escape room experience where you need to find codes or gather numbers. This was an immersive experience where you’ll use a puppet partner to help you complete tasks you’re unable to do. The puzzles were smart and interactive. We had four people and were able to figure out the flow with very little assistance. Highly recommend I checking this out.
Prison BreakThe Escape GameEscape roomIRLThis room starts being split into two parties. Which the cells seem imbalanced in regards to puzzles and escaping to the common area. The puzzles were quite difficult. The immersion was fantastic. We were a bit disappointed that our game master didn’t tell us certain locks were not part of the game, so we wasted time trying to figure it out. We really enjoyed the layers and surprises this room had. We also had one puzzle that didn’t work properly-even the game master couldn’t get it to work, we assume that was a fluke. We didn’t escape this with our team of four (no strangers, we were lucky and booked lasted minute late night) but definitely look forward to trying other rooms here and eventually try this again once we forgot enough in time.
Possession At Haddon HeightsThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLGood room, shorter than I expected, and a lot less puzzles than I expected, especially for this location where their games are very engaging. This isn’t a completely dark room, but it’s a good introduction into kind of a dark atmosphere, as well as a little spooky, nothing scary, so don’t be scared to try it out, even my friend who is very scared of the dark did just fine! The ending wasn’t that satisfying to me. And the puzzles, though they were good, felt stunted. I felt like there could’ve been more to the game, but it ended quickly. Overall, not my favorite room at this location, but if you’re looking to just dab your toe in something a little spooky, give it a try!
