Chapter 3: The MorgueOff The Couch GamesEscape roomIRLAbsolutely fun experience. Went with a group that really clicked. We solved puzzles left and right. The room had a lot of wow moments. Highly recommend.
Chapter 2: Norcross Art GalleryOff The Couch GamesEscape roomIRLAn absolutely fun experience. Highly recommend.
Sorcerer's SanctumOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLFun experience. Group was split up into two in the beginning. It could have had more puzzles since it didn’t seem like it makes a difference as the story plot line was telling it. Some puzzles were unintuitive especially the last puzzle.
Haunting at Haruka HighOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLIt’s a scary room. I highly recommend bringing one or more person that doesn’t get scared easily and is okay with this theme. We did it with 3 people, 2 scaredy cats with 4 mins left to spare. The room felt like it’s never ending since there were so many rooms to explore. There is climbing involved. Honestly it’s a great immersive room with a lot of story involved. It’s best to know ahead of time who would be trying the tactics out otherwise it drags the game out and you may not escape in time. Our GM is amazing and attentive.
Beneath the BasementExit 446Escape roomIRLGame master is nice and welcoming. The room has puzzles from their main room, so it can be a bit confusing thinking that it is part of a puzzle when it’s not. Overall, gameplay was fine. It could use a little more puzzles in the room.
Dark AltarOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLA lot of technical issues rose along with being on the right path but not hitting the actual idea for a lot of the puzzles in there. It was pretty frustrating since many of the puzzles didn’t make sense and our game master kept repeating clues that we already knew but reworded it.
Pandemic ZeroOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLThe gameplay was decent. Game master was nice, but we didn’t get a story of what the room was about before we went in which definitely hindered our experience. Some things such as storyline didn’t make sense until after we escaped.
The AttractionPalace GamesEscape roomIRLGameplay was nice. It was less on the puzzles and more on the technology as the group travels through space. There’s no time limit which makes it less stressful. The space game in between stops was amusing and fun.
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - San JoseEscape roomIRLIt is a decent room. I like how it makes it seem like a it’s actually moving through time. The room itself was straightforward, no random jumping to conclusions. We had 8 people. GM was attentive. We had someone whose b-day was that day and the GM did a little happy bday sign which I thought was nice.
