Pirates Of The Spanish MainEnigma Adventures - Maple GroveEscape roomIRLThis room is an excellent combo of immersion and interesting puzzles… and pirates. What’s not to love?
Carnival of the CosmosEscape From St. LouisEscape roomIRLWe had a great time! The theming was very cute; it definitely had the vibes of an old carnival. The puzzles were good. They start out straight forward, increase in challenge/complexity as you go, but never get overly frustrating. Our GM, Joni, did a great job keeping us on the right track without ever spoiling the juiciest bits of the puzzle solving. We look forward to doing another room at Escape from St. Louis soon!
Gold RushThe Escape Game - MiamiEscape roomIRLI enjoyed this room a lot. It was for the most part pretty straight forward without any mind blowing puzzles (well and one my husband wishes a slow death upon), but it was a very pleasant solve and stayed very on brand with the theme. It’s a great location with great staff. Giorgio and Mark were very friendly and truly seemed to enjoy being there with us. We had such a good time we opted for a second room right after!
The HeistThe Escape Game - MiamiEscape roomIRLThis was a very polished room with neat props and an exciting finish. The staff we met at the Miami location (Giorgio & Mark I believe) were incredibly friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be working there and with us.
Western Bank HeistEscape the Room - RittenhouseEscape roomIRLThe gamemaster was good and the room had a few fun features but there were two issues that would make me not recommend: 1. The code to one of the locks as something we stumbled onto almost by accident and it caused us to accidentally trigger some of the room too early. The GM talked us away from that part so it wasn't a big deal, but it shouldn't have happened at all. 2. There is a puzzle that's just... horrid. It isn't a thinking puzzle. You know exactly what needs to be done but the physical mechanics to make it happen are so rough. It was very frustrating. They need to change that particular piece. We did end up finally getting it but we weren't having fun by that point.
