Diner 79Celebration Escape Rooms [prev. Room 5280]Escape roomIRLA non-linear mostly simple room. A few clues needed a very keen eye but otherwise I could see this being just a step or two above beginner level. Many tricks of other escape rooms are present. Lock locations are in interesting places that go along with the theme of the room, which gives the room an even better play. One puzzle didn’t work as designed but it didn’t bother our game. Overall a really fun room that is probably best played with three to five people.
Only Murders in the Building [Season 4]The Escape Game - Grapevine MillsEscape roomIRLI think my overall feelings towards this room, is that it’s okay but maybe not satisfying. For those who know the Escape Game at this location, they have the game The Heist. I mentioned that, because this experience, although themed to Only Murders in the Building as the name suggests, it was created from an old version of The Heist game. Same three room rooms just with different clues, although I’d say several of the clues have a shared “gimmick”. Overall, the room was quite simple, which is probably another letdown as the cost per player was already a few dollars more than the other games that they have. For sure you do not want to have more than three players. For this one. I could see this one being good for beginners and maybe if you hadn’t done this location “the heist” recently, like we had, maybe this one would fill fresher. I’d say this is a weak showing from The Escape Game group.
The Ring MasterDimensions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSolid room for all players. I think kids and lower experienced players will like this one even more than those with many rooms played. My 12 year old really enjoyed himself. I’d say it would be best played with 3. It is a darker room. There is some light, but I founded I need my phone light once or twice. As others have said it’s not linear, however that enhanced the experience in my opinion. Unlike some games where the group will end up huddled around the latest clue this one kept us moving the whole time. Two moments in the game spooked my son which was funny. It’s worth a try.
Operation HoneycombQuandary Escape AdventuresEscape roomIRLMy wife and I brought our sons (12&10) and we had a good time. It’s probably suited for a 2 to 3 person team. Interestingly, this room has a few different “difficulties”. Our room guide asked us which one we wanted (we went easy because of ours sons, but we could have gone harder) she later explained some of the changes based on difficulty selected at the beginning. This could make this room more entertaining to seasoned Escape Room Enthusiasts by going with the hardest setting but still allows first timers with the lowest. 🏁
