La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium LavalEscape roomIRLOkay literally what are you talking about with this game 🤯🤯 was this five stages? Six? Every time something else was revealed we were like, there's MORE?! This theme slash level of creep (not scare) is not my usual fare but no enthusiast should miss this room. As with others at this business, the build quality is off the charts, but each in a totally different way. The scale of this one is just beyond and will make you feel like, wow someone made ALL THIS just so I could enjoy it for 90 minutes?! Just outstanding, and the puzzles particularly in the first half really add to the immersive journey, rather than feeling like things you solve inside the space.
Armoire a Vendre [Wardrobe for Sale]Escaparium LavalEscape roomIRLHow do I convince everyone to play this without giving away a single thing?? 🙉🤯🤯 There are things that happen in here that not only have I not seen anywhere else, I never expected to see, not sure I thought were even possible. That someone made this with their own two hands without a department of Imagineers has me literally taken aback. The puzzles are fun though the interaction and set are more the star of the show... This was like a cross between a personalized playground and being in a movie for 2h. Ten out of five stars 🤩
Projet R.E.S.E.T.Immersia Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis room is really so cool. The sense of unreality and physical displacement are totally unique- I heard so many people wondering aloud "how did they do that-?" about elements of the game. Some unique mechanics I hadn't seen before, and some production values that clearly received a lot of investment; in general an experience that feels very polished, futuristic, satisfying. Best game here!
The Grand Immersia HotelImmersia Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis is a fun game with some outstanding elements. The spaces are fun to be in and the GM interaction really adds a lot to the experience. It felt a little light on puzzles, definitely room to add more to do in here or even to set difficulty levels.
The Sins of Doctor FaustusCaptivating WorldsEscape roomIRLThis is such a cool and unique experience, every enthusiast within a radius of Columbus should get this on their scorecard. In shock that the owner accomplished this level of build quality, programming and puzzle by himself! Imagineer quality. The puzzles are unique and challenging, maybe approaching the too-tough side for our duo... Some unique elements I was very amused by. Awesome experience.
La Forêt De Falderon [Falderon Forest]Sauve Qui PeutEscape roomIRLThey say this room is AI-controlled, but it felt totally different than what I imagined that might mean. If anything it felt more personalized and interactive, not less. A really warm and funny game that's just fun to be inside of, and contemplating the tech/wiring/programming that must be involved behind the scenes is 🤯🤯🙉. Definitely heed the 4 person max to ensure you can see everything on the adventure.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - ColumbusEscape roomIRLThis is so fun I recommend it to everyone. I was able to solo it when I was there which was 😅😅 but I got it done and had a really good time. Some of the puzzles might be too straightforward for advanced players but the experience is very fun, and with some cool things still to discover.
Pandora’s BoxTrapped! Escape Room Las VegasEscape roomIRLThis build is very complex and cool but unfortunately our game didn't flow well or make a lot of sense. Some of the effects and cues didn't seem connected to what we were doing, and one puzzle we solved without even realizing we were interacting with it. Again the build is impressive and fun to be in, and the bonus puzzles in particular were interesting and fun, but the main game could use some retooling or retraining- and better lighting!
An Office EscapeCinema Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally cute! A "real stuff" set rather than high tech immersion, but so many details from the series you do feel like you're playing in that world :) some great effects and overall just fun to play. Fans of the show will find a million references
Bernie Bloc [Bernie Block]Escaparium LavalEscape roomIRLNot only is this fun and adorable, the novelty and whimsy of being inside a scaled lego house where everything is made of legos is itself worth the price of admission. As noted by others these puzzles are scaled for kids but still fun to step through as adults, and the use of technology keeps everything feeling snappy and paced. Don't skip this one just bc it seems "easy", the experience is worth it.
