Space Mission: GuardianThink Tank Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI’m giving this a heart for the immersion alone and there were definitely a couple major “wow” factors. The flow was pretty good but the puzzles were overwhelming at times. This company has this odd way of choosing your own difficulty (in reality, they never really gave us a choice and I think just ran it at “average”. The problem with this method is it leaves a lot of puzzles that look like obvious puzzles that you don’t need to do so you feeling like you’re missing things.
Prison Break: Warden Strikes Back!Escape - DivisionEscape roomIRLGod we loved this room! Even though we allllmost got out but failed, we still had a blast. There were so many fun elements in the room, and it everything felt well done with great touches in the theme. We’ve done other prison rooms that were a bit more immersive but this was still fabulous.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Siren's CoveEscape Hour Point RustonEscape roomIRLThis room (and the 2 at Locurio) were our two favourite locations during this trip to Seattle. The design and complexity of the set was just incredible. The puzzles were excellent and added to the immersion. There were definitely some puzzles that I had never seen, that were so whimsical and fun. The room itself was like being on a movie set with the coolest room surprises. I wish I could just stay there and play this room a few more times lol The hint delivery system was hilarious and the GM was fantastic. Now we want to do all the rest of the rooms too (we also did the fantastic "Mayan Ruins" in Gig Harbor). The rooms at Escape Hour are always top shelf
The Vanishing ActLocurioEscape roomIRLI absolutely loved this room from start to finish. It felt so well done, with very cool twists and turns, really great room design and a story that captivated us. It’s rare to find a room that has a story that just makes sense and is fun and easy to follow, and this room did that for me. I also love rooms that aren’t all tech, there is a lot of fun in opening locks, especially when it fits the theme like this does. This room was a great mixture of mechanical and tech, but honestly the story is so fun that I was just swept away in it!
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!
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
