Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - Las Vegas Forum ShopsEscape roomIRLGreat theme, and a fun concept! Definitely a couple moments stumped us, but our team of 2 got through with good hinting. The narrative flow felt a little unbalanced (why was THIS section so quick and THAT one so slow, etc), but the puzzle flow itself was smooth and well-considered. Great blend of tech and mechanical.
Wizard TrialsPanIQ Room - Las VegasEscape roomIRLNo physical locks, and all tech worked. A fun room but we didn't get out (our first failure!). With two people (one less familiar with escape rooms), it was just too much stuff to get through--even at a steady pace with no real hiccups. For us, a full hour would have been fine, instead of 45 minutes. Would have had a better experience with a successful outcome, but it was a nice, immersive room. Well decorated and friendly staff
Wizardβs AcademyHometown EscapesEscape roomIRLA good room, and fun! The puzzles all felt fair and enjoyable, definitely doable. A couple nice surprises/mechanics. Great hinting (not too much, so the puzzles don't get spoiled). A linear room, but with enough stuff exposed that there's lots to fuss over--even for a larger group. Our group of 2 barely got done in time, but the flow still felt good for us. Mostly mechanical, but the tech and theming is still great. Top notch GM too, it's great that they met up after to spell everything out and do a quick debrief. We'll definitely be back!
Shady Lady SaloonHometown EscapesEscape roomIRLGood experience, and great theming. Good variety of puzzles--mix of traditional and tech-y. A couple unintuitive leaps, and they did need to come in twice to resolve stuck tech...but everything seemed robust, and the flow was pretty solid. Great puzzle master, perfect clues (they gave the tiniest hints without giving away the puzzle), very friendly. It was definitely at the upper limit of what we could do with 2 people (one semi experienced, one not), 2-4 people would be ideal.
Zombie Fog ParkBig 4 EscapeEscape roomIRLA complex room with some unintuitive leaps initially. But once things get going, the energy picks up and the puzzles flow smoother. Fun theming, worth the price. Challenging for 2 people. Don't be afraid to ask for hints early, no need to save them
Crisis At 1600: First Strike!Hometown EscapesEscape roomIRLSolid room! Mostly intuitive steps, some red herrings. Solvable by 2 people (including 1 first timer), but three might be better. A little spartan, but clear and well themed. We'd definitely come back to do more
Activate [Interactive Arcade]Activate CharlotteEscape roomOther No really an escape room, more like interactive mini games, each with a physical component.
1,000 Feet Down - CLOSEDIndiana Caverns IndianapolisEscape roomIRLExtremely friendly, energetic staff. Visual design of the room is strong. A couple small electronic issues may have prevented us from solving (buttons not buttoning, light not lighting, that kind of thing), but it should be comfortable with 2-4 people. I'd prefer to see 1 to 2 smaller puzzles added and the time expanded to an hour (with a price increase, of course). The room is so pretty, I'd love to have spent more time in it.
The Witch's CabinBig 4 EscapeEscape roomIRLGreat, fun room! We did it comfortably with two people, good flow for date night or a small group. Maybe my favorite room of theirs, but I love the creative approach they take and their friendly attitudes across every room.
ElectrovaultCountdown LouisvilleEscape roomIRLClever puzzles, cool atmosphere. We really enjoyed it--definitely possible with 2, though more could help
Gold RushThe Escape Game - Las Vegas Forum ShopsEscape roomIRLMy first escape room! Very fun, did it by myself (which seemed fine) and had a great interaction with the staff. Really well-themed, it felt very immersive
Omega Mart [Immersive Art]Meow WolfEscape roomOther I love this place! More like an inerractive installation than escape room, but there are things to learn and a mystery to unravel if you want. Absolutely beautiful!
The DepthsThe Escape Game - Las Vegas Forum ShopsEscape roomIRLA fun room! Great themeing, really a top tier space. Ran it with 4 people (was on my own but got paired with others), which seemed like a reasonable number. Could have been solved with 2 or 3, but 4 or 5 seemed like a good number. Very logical flow
Activate [Interactive Arcade]Activate - LouisvilleEscape roomOther Great activity! More like physical mini games than an escape room, but as long as you can move around, run throw a ball, etc... You're going to have fun!
Temple Raider RoomEmerge Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLGreat theming, loved the live action intro, really a fun room! Doable with two people, but three or four would work well too. We'll be back!
The Big 4 HeistBig 4 EscapeEscape roomIRLSuper fun, with great customer service + game-master. Not quite as built up as more expensive/franchise options, but the value, the experience, and the narrative are great. Really feels like a labor of love, we're coming back to do the rest. Doable with 2 people, 4 would feel most comfortable.
The BunkerBig 4 EscapeEscape roomIRLA fun experience! 2-4 players seems ideal, we were fine with 2. Mostly good flow throughout, great employees. Considering the nice price point, we'll definitely be back!
Safe HouseBig 4 EscapeEscape roomIRLA fun room for 2, but I wouldn't try to squeeze more than that in. A good challenge, and a fun unique element made this room stand out. I prefer the other Big 4 rooms over this, but it was a fun escape and a great interaction with the staff/gamemaster
