The Lost Temple – “The Search For Annalise Rockhound”Epic EscapesEscape roomIRLThis game is good for beginners! Most of the puzzles in the room are linear and easy to follow. The foliage and props in the room make you feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle! I recommend this game if you’re new to escape rooms and are looking for something on the easier side.
The Killer BasementEpic EscapesEscape roomIRLThis was my first experience at Epic Escapes and I was a bit disappointed. Our game host failed to mention to us that we needed a magnifying glass with a light and never passed them out to our group before we started (we found this out at the end of the game after we had already finished). There was one particular lock that was impossible to see without some source of light and took us a bit of time to unlock. Our game host was very aware that we were struggling and never offered to bring in a source of light for us. There was also an entire trick in the game that we didn’t get to solve because it was broken. On top of it all, it took SEVERAL minutes for us to receive clues and it seemed like our game host was distracted throughout our entire experience. We were never allotted our time back and barely escaped due to these issues. The game itself was alright and the puzzles fit the theme, but all the other issues throughout the game took away from the enjoyment factor.

Bloodshed Bayou: Waters Uncharted - CLOSEDLocksmith Escape GamesEscape roomIRLWhat an incredible room! I’m not surprised though, since it was created by The Escape Ventures very own designer’s! This room will have you feeling like you are smack dab in the middle of a Louisiana swamp at night. From the set, to the lighting and puzzles, this room is a must do! Run, don’t walk and PLAY THIS ROOM!
The Seventh RoomDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLThe Seventh Room was my first experience at D2E and it did not disappoint! I was a little hesitant to play this one due to its “spook” factor, but it wasn’t as scary as the storyline states. The puzzles were very unique, but boy was there a lot of ground to cover, especially during the first half of the experience. I definitely suggest a larger group to divide and conquer in this room. There were tricks in the game that tested your fears which I really enjoyed! I highly recommend this room for more experienced escape room enthusiasts who want a challenge! We had a great time!
The Video StoreDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLWow! The nostalgia was strong with this one! The Video Store was a unique room with a theme I’ve never experienced at any other escape room. The tricks were very theme centered, although our group ran into some trouble towards the end of our experience. It seems that a piece of a prop that was used for one of the tricks in the room was not reset properly, and hindered our experience. We didn’t actually find out that we were missing that item until after we escaped when our game master explained what happened. It was kind of a bummer because we spent about 10-15 minutes on that specific trick with no help from the staff. Aside from that slip up, we had a good time and were able to make it through the entire game.
At The Hop Ice Cream ShoppeDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLWhat a cute and creative concept for an escape room! My team and I had a blast as we got swept away into the 1950s and 60s for this experience! A great mix of mechanical and technical tricks that correlated perfectly with the storyline. If you get cold easily, bring a light sweater as this game does take place in an ice cream shop. Probably my favorite game at D2E that I’ve played so far! 🍦

I’ve been wanting to play Spoopy Bones for years because I’ve heard such incredible things about it and I’m so glad I got to finally experience it because it did not disappoint!

PlaygroundThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis game was so fun and different than any other escape room I’ve ever played! The puzzles were very unique and made you feel like you were back in elementary school as soon as you walked through the door. This game is intended for 12 players because of how large it is and how many tasks you need to complete, so keep in mind that the less players you have, the more difficult the game will be. We had a great experience! The Escape Game never disappoints!

The DepthsThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis game was extremely immersive! It really made you feel like you were inside of a submarine in the ocean.
