Storyteller's SecretBoxarooEscape roomIRLStoryteller’s secret is by far one of my top escape rooms played. The set design was amazing down to the very last detail. The theme made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The puzzles were extremely creative and well thought out. I highly recommend this room if you’re in the Boston area.
Crane ManorClue IQEscape roomIRLI loved the novel theme. This room had a decent (but not spectacular) set design and was perfectly timed for 75 minutes. Unique puzzles and overall, a good time.

The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLThe set design was extremely immersive and every puzzle fit perfectly into the theme. I appreciated the creative theme and many of the puzzles were well thought out. aside from flowing well with the theme of the room puzzles were challenging, engaging, clever and unique. highly recommended.
Dr. Gem’s Time TrapMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLInitially I thought this game would be overwhelming, but it turned out to be great fun instead. What I appreciated the most about this room was how cohesively every puzzle tied in with the storyline. In a time travel themed room, one is never really sure how that element of time travel will be presented. And Maine Escape Games did it brilliantly. The room was high-tech and to my delight everything worked the way it was supposed to. We were a team of 2 who managed to get out in just over an hour. We appreciated the game master gave us those few extra minutes to complete our mission. However, I do not appreciate their weekend pricing structure for 2 players. Still highly recommended.
Magician's WorkshopEscape Room HerndonEscape roomIRLMy favorite room in Herndon. Beautiful set and the puzzles all made sense and fit with a fun theme. I found the puzzles to be very creative and clearly well thought out. The staff are all very nice and the waiting area was well decorated and inviting. Highly recommend
8-Bit EscapeEscape Room HerndonEscape roomIRLGreat set design. Loved the theme! Poor flow, and a few of the puzzles were not well clued or unable to solve until later, in a nonsensical way. It was still fun and did have a few really good puzzles, too. But one of the puzzles was outright faulty and we had to keep guessing until it worked. Set design was better than the puzzles. Game master was very nice and it was a very welcoming place. Definitely recommend, aside from a few minor things which need fixing
ExcaliburClue IQEscape roomIRLOf the 2 rooms I did at Clue IQ, this was my favorite. Cool set design, good flow and fun puzzles.
Heist HavocRedacted Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe puzzles got better as the game went on and ended on a strong note. I would recommend this room to smaller groups as larger groups may have people standing around feeling superfluous due to the mostly linear nature of this room. I have rarely encountered a toolkit to use in the room, and I appreciated that immersive detail that made the game more fun. I was initially worried that this toolkit would be too complex and would feel like a chore, but my fears were quickly set aside as this was not the case. Overall, I had a positive experience and fun playing this game with my family.
