The Weeping Witch
Cross Roads Escape Games
Escape room
IRL
This room is absolutely terrifying! The atmosphere is so well done, there are so many impressive high-tech details, I am just blown away! That witch is hideous and I never want to see her again, but I’m definitely going back and bringing all my friends. Kaylie was phenomenal and very committed to her character! If you have her as your game guide, you’re in for a great time! I struggled a lot more with this escape room than I usually do, so be prepared for a challenge. However, definitely take advantage of hints because Weeping Witch has by far the best and most creative hint system I’ve ever seen! I am absolutely in love!

This escape room was everything I hoped it would be! Each room is very unique, and you can’t help but smile the entire time! It just oozes charm. I would not recommend going in with less than four players. The puzzles are not very difficult, but there are a ton of them, and you will not escape unless you divide and conquer! We made it out with just three of us, but one of my friends is a spaz. You won’t be able to resist climbing on the jungle gym, but try not to waste too much time!

This was my eighth game with this company, and the one I had the lowest expectations for because I’ve never been a fan of space themed things. While the environment wasn’t super standout to me, the puzzles were! This is one of the best games at this location. Each puzzle is super memorable and diverse. This one is not super hard, and good for someone without a ton of experience. I would say the ideal number is two players, but there’s one puzzle that’s much easier if you have six hands. It is possible with two, that’s what we did, but be ready to be running back and forth a lot for one of the puzzles near the end.

Neat theme, but not my favorite game with this company. We were on a roll until one puzzle with a wooden ball brought us to a screeching halt. That one puzzle was needlessly difficult while the rest of the room was relatively easy. We still had a good time though.

Playground has remained one of my favorite escape rooms. This location had a couple minor technical difficulties, but they were quick to make it right. Lemon was a terrific game guide, and Danielle at the front was an absolute delight to talk to. She provided some of the most helpful customer service I’ve received from anyone in a long time. Truly above and beyond!
Prison Break

This is the best escape room I’ve ever done! The theming is generic, but still very well done. The real star here is the interactive nature of the puzzles. Many puzzles force you to interact with them physically, rather than just finding a code to put in a lock. This room always feels incredibly engaging! Plus, you start out separated in two adjacent cells, so you’re forced to communicate to escape. Here’s my best advice: the golden number is four people. Don’t play this game with any less or more than four. The two cells you start in are pretty small, and would easily feel overcrowded with three people in one, but being alone in a cell would be very daunting.
The Butcher
Deceptive Games
Escape room
IRL
Hands down my favorite escape room experience yet! The puzzles are neat, a little outdated, but that won’t be what’s on your mind. Your interactions with The Butcher are gonna be your main priority, and you will definitely see him a lot! This room is not super jump scare heavy, but much more active. You will need to be ready to stop what you’re doing a moment’s notice and either run or hide. There are so many moments when a task seems simple, but then they throw a wrench in that makes you dread moving forward. I recommend this to anybody! Even if you’re easily scared, please give it a try! The Butcher can touch you, but it’s never any more aggressive than a grab.

This escape room is fantastic! The atmosphere is insanely well done, and it’s about as scary as it can be with no live actor. There aren’t a ton of jumpscares, which I think works to this room’s advantage. You’ll be on edge the entire time, and when a jump does come, it will always be in a way you don’t expect! Our game guide was wonderful and helpful, and the hint system plays in so well that it doesn’t break the immersion at all! My one warning would be not to bring too many people, or you’ll probably finish really quickly. There were only two of us, and we still had a relatively easy time. I think this is a great room for beginners if you can handle the scares. Even though the puzzles weren’t overly complex, the atmosphere and storytelling in this room alone makes it well worth your time!

This was my first escape room ever, and I think it’s a great start for beginners. It’s very linear, so I wouldn’t go in with any more than four people. Cozy atmosphere, and by far the most relaxed room at this location.
Special Ops: Mysterious Market

My biggest complaint of this game is that I think the theming gets weaker the further in you go. Not that it’s ever bad, but the game starts off incredibly strong. The first room, however, makes this game worth it alone. This might be my favorite single room of any escape room I’ve ever been in, at least in terms of theming. One of the people we played with was a girl from Morocco, and she said it was extremely accurate to a Moroccan marketplace.
