Pirates Of The Bermuda TrianglePanIQ Room - NYC [prev. Clue Chase]Escape roomIRLThis was our first room with PanIQ and it was a positive experience! The room itself was not overly difficult, but did provide enough puzzles to occupy our time. The staff was very friendly, but a little scattered while we were there. There was a good minute or two delay upon completing the room that we actually got confused as if we hadn't completed it. Other than that, it was a great experience. I would definitely be down to do another of their rooms.
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - BrooklynEscape roomIRLA fantastic room as I've come to expect from The Escape Game. I played this with more people than I usually do (played with 6), many of whom had never done an escape room. It went very well and provided a good challenge for both new and experinced players alike. The atmosphere, as always was incredible and the probs and mechanisms showed very little wear and tear. Overall, a fantastic experience.
Flight 220: Final DescentPortals of Paradox [prev. Locked In Escape Rooms]Escape roomIRLAn overall very solid escape room. There were many puzzles I had not seen before and the theme was really good. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend at least 4 people as there are a lot of puzzles happening simultaneously. Can't wait to do the rest of the games here!
The King's Roar - CLOSEDBreakout AdventureEscape roomIRLA very ingenuitive room with lots to offer. I loved the use of integrated puzzles and very few lock and key systems. I look forward to the next time I'm in town to finish them all!
Sherlock's Escape - Moriarty's RevengeBreakout AdventureEscape roomIRLA fantastic room from Breakout Adventure! Very immersive and clever puzzles. I was very impressed with their rooms. I look forward to coming back next time I'm in town to finish them all!
Gremlin's Nightmare: The Art Heist Intruder [prev. The Gremlin’s Grand Laser Light Adventure]Encryption EscapeEscape roomIRLThe idea and theme behind this room is cute, but the execution left something to be desired. The set itself feels a bit tore up and the speakers for the intro video were very quiet. Overall, not super immersive. The puzzles themselves felt disjointed. It's designed to be linear, but a lot of the puzzles and clues are available at the same time, so it feels impossible to determine the order you should be completing things. There were also several instances where we solved a puzzle correctly, but it didn't trigger a success or outcome (sometimes had to repeat the solution, and sometimes it was just really delayed) and that left us confused. We have experience completing MANY rooms with just two players, but this room has so much happening, it felt impossible. Also, the clue system was novel, but felt cheap. This business is definitely geared towards casual players looking to drink (they sell drinks and cups). I wish it was better.
Mansion MurderEscapology - JacksonvilleEscape roomIRLOverall solid escape room/murder mystery room. Just like their Budapest Express, this room's goal is less about escaping and more about solving a murder. The room was built well and the puzzles had a lot of codes to decipher and some math.
Dog DaysPrototype Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis was an absolutely exquisite escape room! We our game master was the owner and you can tell he loves his craft. The room is well built, the theme is on point, and we had a fantastic time! This was the last game of their's we played and we can't wait to see what they come up with next!
Lost City of AtlantisGame Over Escape Rooms - JacksonvilleEscape roomIRLAn outstanding room from a new escape room in town! The staff were amazing (Elena was our game master and she killed it) and the room was very high tech and immersive. All of the puzzles were well developed and thought out. I can't wait to try the rest!
Horror CircusGame Over Escape Rooms - JacksonvilleEscape roomIRLA solid room with a creepy theme filled with jumpscares. We're not the biggest fan of horror, but we enjoyed this room. It was a lot more jumpscares than it was creepy. While I do recommend this game, I do not recommend to anyone with a clown phobia as you will not be able to escape clown imagery (no live actors).
School of MagicGame Over Escape Rooms - JacksonvilleEscape roomIRLOverall, a pretty solid room. Not as fantastic of a spectacle as some of their other rooms, but the wand mechanics add a bit of fun for the family, though was a bit of a let down for a group of adults. The story was also a bit lackluster. Still, relatively happy with our experience at Game Over. August was a fantastic GM.
Top SecretGame Over Escape Rooms - JacksonvilleEscape roomIRLOverall, a solid room. Well themed, though a bit plain given the actual theme of the room. The second room was a rush of information that made it very difficult to identify the next objective. It was quite hard to not overthink many aspects. A solid, pretty difficult room. I wouldn't recommend a special trip, but definitely worth trying while in the area.
Call of the AncientEscape Hour AustinEscape roomIRLAnother amazing experience from Escape Hour! The theme and atmosphere are top notch! Overall simple/recognizable puzzles with unique themeing.
The Cabin: Chapter 2 - Monie MotelEscape Hour AustinEscape roomIRLAnother incredible experience! The story continues in this part 2 escape room. The set is immersive, the actors are scary, and the puzzles are quite clever. I can't wait to do the final chapter!
Dead Man's CoveEscape Hour AustinEscape roomIRLA fantastic immersive room with some unique mechanics. The staff was lovely (as always) and the room flowed really well!
Baker Street MysteryEscape Hour AustinEscape roomIRLA very solid escape room! The set was well designed. The puzzles are a little non-linear and there was a good bit of clever word play involved which stumped our group after playing some other rooms the same day. The staff was amazing and this room is a solid addition to Escape Hour's offerings!
Royale Casino HeistNovel EscapeEscape roomIRLAmazing experience! Our guide was awesome! The live actor component was a whole lot of fun!
The Royal Society of PuzzlesPuzzle BreakEscape roomIRLOverall acceptable for a free cruise ship room. It had no themeing and was a room with just 4 tables with boxes/puzzles on top. The puzzles themselves were creative and used many symbols. The guide was clearly over it and was unable to explain the final puzzle solution.
The Vanishing ActLocurioEscape roomIRLAn absolutely amazing room!! The whole family loved it! The team and Locurio is amazing, they're super friendly and amazing actors. I can't wait until they open their new room!
The StorykeeperLocurioEscape roomIRLAn absolutely amazing room! Very immersive and the actors were outstanding! I cannot recommend this room enough.
