Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's BigfootThe Nemesis ClubEscape roomIRLThere’s nothing negative you can say about this room they got everything right! On top of the puzzles being fun and logical the set design is top notch, it has great special effects and the immersion is perfect. I love the way they created a foreboding, realistic camping s experience especially in the beginning sequence. This venue also has a gorgeous lobby and some great ideas going forward — can’t wait to see what they do next.
The DomeMama Bazooka | Escape Room NederlandEscape roomIRLThis room is the pinnacle of escape rooms. An absolute Mecca for enthusiasts. Even if you are from the states it’s absolutely worth taking a vacay in the Netherlands just to play this. The build out is insane and beyond your expectations. Get ready for a surreal, dream-like adventure.
The Amsterdam CatacombsLogic Locks - The Amsterdam CatacombsEscape roomIRLIf you can only do 1 or 2 rooms in the Netherlands make sure this is one of them — this room is NOT to be missed. I’ve done 200+ escape rooms and this is the closest I’ve ever felt to being in a movie. The theatrical presentation in this room is insane and the actors are so ridiculously good; they must have been professionally trained Shakespearean actors or something. Such a memorable experience, even your friends who aren’t into escape rooms will love this!
Project MinotaurQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis is quite the experience and really stands out on the escape room scene. It’s a huge, maze like room with lots of corridors and rooms to explore. It’s not super puzzle heavy but that’s fine considering you’ll spend tons of time running from the Minotaur. There are multiple actors involved and honestly the Minotaur was not the scariest part in our experience! The guy actor we got did SUCH a great job with his role. The ending sequence is pretty cool too. Expensive, but worth it.
Mutiny: Skull IslandEscape Games At The RiverEscape roomIRLThis entire location is such a hidden gem and totally worth the drive from LA and other parts of CA. My friend and I came from central and norcal to play these games; we have played top rooms around the world and the quality of this room is up there with many of the best. I loved the last part of this room the most. It also has some really cool special effects. Their warehouse and dragon rooms are great as well!
Pursuit of the Assassin ArtistOmescape - OnlineEscape roomVirtual Some of my escape room friends dislike virtual rooms but I recommend this one to everyone. They do things that can only be done *because* it’s not an in person room. Very unique and memorable experience, highly recommended.
DreamEscape Artists OrlandoEscape roomIRLMan I really love this room. We did 22 rooms in Florida and I have to say this was my favorite. It’s not as “perfect” as some but the sheer ambition & out of the box ideas made it unique. There is one part in particular where they did something I’ve always wanted to see an escape room so, and so far I haven’t seen anyone else try it. I guess it’s a bit controversial because I’ve seen it discussed on the fb groups. Overall If you like trippy, surreal escape rooms don’t skip this one.
The Last JobConfusion EscapesEscape roomIRLGreat new escape room location — based on this room I’d be quick to book any future games they make. We have played similar games at some very high budget places and this one blew those away — but that’s not to imply that this room isn’t high tech, it definitely is and has some show stopping unexpected moments. The owner is also super nice and so was our game master. Highly recommend!
The Crystal Maze Live ExperienceThe Crystal Maze LIVE ExperienceEscape roomIRLEh. It’s fine but don’t expect an escape room experience. 90% of the time you spend watching other people do the fun tasks that you don’t even get to attempt.
WarlockedQuest Room - Redondo BeachEscape roomIRLOne of the best from Quest Rooms if you ask me. Very puzzle driven/heavy but still with fun whimsical characters and the high quality set design Quest is known for. It’s a gen 4 room that will move you along if you start falling behind so if you play with a smaller team like we did, you’ll likely skip some puzzles. With that in mind we felt the room also had replay ability. It does have actor interaction but it’s very limited and not scary.
