Booby TrapThink Tank Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was a fun room with some really fantastic puzzles and moments that made us laugh too. The GM (owner?) really went out of her way and came in early so we could fit a game into our schedule (we were trying to catch a flight). I didn’t realize it’s a one room game or we would have picked one of the other two, but overall the puzzles were great and we definitely knew when we succeeded at the end, unlike other games that sometimes leave you wondering. We’ll definitely be back to play the other two when we’re back to Spokane!
Curse of The Mayan RuinsEscape Hour Gig HarborEscape roomIRLSuch a great experience… we loved the room, the unique and creative puzzles and our absolutely amazing GM, Hailey. She elevated this experience even more and we left with giant smiles and talked about this room for days after
Doomed To Win In Vegasi-ExitEscape roomIRLThis was one of the first escape rooms we did and we loved it. It was my fave blend of tech and locks. The atmosphere was awesome and I felt I was part of the story. There was one manual puzzle that us 3 just didn’t have the strength to manage, and we needed GM help. That’s my only complaint though
Evil Dead 2Hourglass EscapesEscape roomIRLI am so glad we got to do this room before we left seattle. There were 3 of us and the pace was perfect. It’s a 70 min room and we made it out in 61 min, so we felt it wasn’t too hard, but it was perfect for our team. Full of tons of fun props, amazing decor. We haven’t seen the movie but we want to now!
Heist!Queen City Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis escape room is much less flashy than big city rooms we’ve played, it has a more amateur feel, but that being said we still had a lot of fun doing it. There were some cool puzzles and had a “local” theme which I liked. There isn’t really a hint system besides just leaving the room and asking for help, and you can also hear everything going on outside of the room, but that’s just the space I guess. No sound proofing. There are some creative puzzles but there are also a couple red herrings which were annoying (I really dislike blatant red herrings). Also there were a couple design flaws in some of the puzzles at the end that could have a simple fix. But all in all, we still enjoyed the room. No big wow moments, and the story didn’t grab us (hence not a lot of immersion) but everything was clean and worked (nothing broken) and there were multiple rooms, which I always love. I left feeling glad I did it, and we all had fun
Mayan DoomsdayThink Tank Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was a great room.. the set design was incredible and immersive. There were a couple puzzles that I wouldn’t choose to use in an escape room but with got through it. The hint system was definitely not my favourite, but we still used it and appreciated it. Overall I loved this room especially for the beautiful immersive design of it. And we definitely knew when we’d finished!
Medieval PrisonTrapped - CoquitlamEscape roomIRLWe really liked this room, and I like the spin on the prison theme being medieval. The flow was smooth, puzzles fun, we used 3 hints and made it out in 40 min. There are no clocks so if there were, we probably would have used less hints… we were mostly just panicking because we thought we had less time than we did.
Midnight ManorEscape Hour Gig HarborEscape roomIRLThis room is visually stunning with some really cool puzzles but we were definitely finding ourselves really stuck and overwhelmed several times. The GM was always helpful when we asked but we still felt like we were struggling quite a bit. When we got out, I’m pretty sure we went a few minutes over our time but our GM told us we had 6 seconds left on the clock which was an awesome way to run a business. We didn’t feel like total failures when we left lol
Motel 66Horror EscapeEscape roomIRLWe really loved this room. My expectations were low because there were a lot of negative reviews to the point that we almost didn’t choose this business, and the 45 min is quite off-putting, but we did manage to escape in 41 min, and on top of that, we left reeling with excitement and exhilaration from the coolness of the room. It was an awesome design, great flow, great puzzles and nothing too complicated. I think if the owners made these rooms 1hr to fit the present industry standard, they’d have mostly terrific reviews. This room deserves praise, it was great.
Mystery At Innsmouth: An Official Arkham Horror Escape RoomHourglass EscapesEscape roomIRLThere were 4 of us in this room. 3 of us usually flow really well together in escape rooms but we had one player who was a little difficult to work with. That being said, the room was just wonderful despite him lol! The puzzles are unique and creative, but where this room shines the most is in it’s fantastic set design. We loved it all. I didn’t think we’d do as well as we did!
