The Satirical Miracle: A Jolly Tale Of Granny's BlackmailThe Escape VenturesEscape roomIRLLOVED this room! Actually might be my all-time favorite so far. Truly the most beautiful and immersive set design I’ve seen, really fun and memorable theme, and perfect puzzles (challenging but not over the top difficult). My team, which was a mix of newbies and experienced players, had an absolute blast.
Mystical ManorWill To Escape - JupiterEscape roomIRLWe really had a fantastic time in this room! Puzzles were unique and fun (some cool ones we’d never seen anything like before!), with a great variety and flow. Good mix of tech and mechanical as well, with a beautiful set! Highly recommend!!!
Dog DaysPrototype Escape GamesEscape roomIRLLiked the room a lot, and overall had a good experience. It was extremely well designed with a unique and fun theme. We had a group of 7, which honestly felt like too many; there was too much going on between the large group and the non-linear structure. For example, it was hard to tell sometimes which puzzles we had solved vs. not (couldn’t tell what was triggering what to pop open, etc). since the group was working on so many things at once. That being said, I’m just got a huge fan of non-linear games in general so I might be biased. Otherwise, the production value was one of the best I’ve seen and this place was extremely professional. Staff was excellent as well.
Bloody MaryRoom RaidersEscape roomIRLAbsolutely loved this room - one of my favorites so far!! The puzzles were intuitive and flowed extremely well. Difficulty was moderate. Played with one other person and we were challenged, but also able to navigate through with minimal help. The set was excellent and had a great vibe, just spooky enough! The live actor was a fun touch that definitely gave us a good scream and adrenaline rush! Highly recommend.
InnocenceWill To Escape - JupiterEscape roomIRLWe really enjoyed this room. Puzzles flowed well, although there could have been a couple more added to make it a bit more challenging. Fun jailbreak style room, though, and totally appropriate for 2 people. Loved the theme and the mix of tech and mechanical elements.
AsylumRoom RaidersEscape roomIRLGREAT room, had an absolute blast! We had a group of 5 people which usually feels like too many to me, but in this room the number worked well. It was a solid theme, definitely creepy, with puzzles that flowed well and all made sense. We loved it.
The Egyptian Tomb EscapeMaster Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe loved this room!!! The ambiance and the puzzles were absolutely perfect. It was definitely challenging, in particular due to the high volume of puzzles (there were a LOT), so for 2 people it was tough to get through everything in time (we came close!). I would recommend going with 3 or 4 people, ideally. But the theme, puzzle variety and quality, and overall experience were excellent. We had a blast.
Escape The HydeoutMission Escape Games - West Hartford, CTEscape roomIRLDecent room with some good puzzles, although a couple of them were a bit illogical and caused us to lose a lot of time, which was frustrating. Also, the backstory felt a little disconnected. The set was beautiful though and everything functioned well. Staff was also great. Would rate the room somewhere in the middle of others that we’ve done - not bad, but not super memorable either.
Ivan’s LairLegends of XscapeEscape roomIRLDefinitely one of our favorite rooms! Creepy theme and extremely well done. It’s challenging without being too difficult, and everything was linear and made sense. We had the option of doing the room with or without live scares, and we opted yes. It was the right decision for sure!!! Added a ton of suspense and another (scarier) layer to the experience. If you do this room, opt for the live scares for sure! Overall an awesome experience.
The BlizzardComplexity: A Puzzling AdventureEscape roomIRLThis was a decent room. Teams with lots of experience will find it on the easy side; our experienced team of 2 flew through it without having to ask for any help along the way. The puzzle volume was low, and it could have been more challenging overall. We really enjoyed the concept/theme, but the set itself could use a little TLC. It’s pretty beat up and there was a puzzle that complements malfunctioned during our game, so the Gamemaster had to come in and assist which took away from the vibe. Overall, a minor inconvenience but not ideal. We did enjoy the variety of puzzles and the generally linear gameplay. Would recommend the room for less experienced teams, and would definitely return to this venue to try the other rooms!
