MagnificoEscaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLThis game shot straight to my number 1 spot, and I think it will take a while for anything to overtake it! It’s a true mix of immersive theatre and escape room. Within minutes I’d forgotten we were playing a game and felt fully immersed. The story was captivating and emotional, and the puzzles perfectly fit with the narrative. Escaparium are really doing something special with this room.
The DomeMama BazookaEscape roomIRLSuch a fun concept, really great and different puzzles and not a lock or key in sight! The atmosphere definitely holds a lot of apprehension and tension so slightly more on the spooky side. Definitely a must do in the Netherlands. Also the lounge area for before and after is wonderful.
VikingExtremescapeEscape roomIRLI talk about this room all of the time! We had so much fun, had plenty to do and there were so many great moments. The theming is really cool and Extremescape have absolutely made the most of the space. I want to bring other friends back and just watch them work through the room!
Turd Raiders and the Lost Golden PlungerCompendium Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis is a really fun and unusual in theme collection game. There is a high number of puzzles to complete and they really varied in terms of type and difficulty. We played as a two and I don’t think either of us stopped moving for the full hour! We had a great time!
La Cerveseria [The Brewery]EnigmikEscape roomIRLA great room full of puzzles and tech. There is a lot to do and some fun moments. I really enjoyed it but compared to some of the rooms available in Barcelona now it’s a bit of a more traditional escape room and didn’t wow me as much as others, hence the thumbs up rather than a heart! But it’s a definite must do in Barcelona.
Distrito 111 [District 111]Unreal Room Escape Sant Martí – BarcelonaEscape roomIRLA really immersive room with great props and puzzles that were very tactile and felt like things you would actually need to do. This is more of a traditional escape room than some of the more immersive experiences available in the area but it’s still a must do. The space isn’t huge but they use it really well. Some puzzle types I hadn’t seen before which was cool!
The Morrison Game FactoryPostCuriousEscape roomTabletopThis game was really lovely. It had a beautiful story that really tugged at the heart strings! The puzzles were a medium difficulty with fun physical elements. There was quite a lot of reading to do on our iPad but it added to the story and was done in a novel way that we enjoyed. We played as a 2 and it took around 3 hours.
OrbitalBreak Escape Nottingham - Market StreetEscape roomIRLThis is a well themed spaceship room. There is plenty to do and I loved working through each ‘task’. The theme and atmosphere were impressive and there were a couple of cool puzzles I’d not come across before!
Zoltar Spreekt [Zoltar Speaks]Escape Cafe HilversumEscape roomIRLA really fun and adrenaline inducing game. Loved the theming and the layout is really cool. There aren’t many puzzles but we easily filled almost the whole 75 minutes.
Daylight RobberyBreak Escape Nottingham - Upper Parliament Street [prev. Cryptology]Escape roomIRLI loved this game so much! It’s my favourite item collection/scavenger hunt type room that I’ve done. There is SO much to do and the puzzles to get the items are really varied. The final moment is full of pressure and tension! I’d love to play this again
