The CyphstressDeadlocked OnlineEscape roomVirtual The production quality is really good! I managed to finish it in a little over 2 hours as a single player. They did a great job with the clue mechanism for an online experience, many of the clues or feedback were exactly what I needed. There was one part that having at least 2 screens would have been helpful but it’s doable with one person/screen. I do wish parts of these were print and play however because I wasted so much time trying to draw things like grids that felt like a bit of a time waste. They utilized a lot of different mediums and pages which was fun, but there was just a lot of jumping and open tabs because you never knew what you would have to go back to. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
The Beach BarOnline Escape Rooms Ireland - OnlineEscape roomVirtual Probably my favorite that I have played from them. The set is so much fun and every puzzle made sense or fit the theme perfectly! I managed to finish it with one player and I think if you had small group playing online together it would be good as well. The ending was definitely my favorite part, the last puzzle is a great note to end on.
Uncle ArtemisEnigma Live Escape RoomsEscape roomVirtual Plenty of puzzles packed into one small room. Definitely on the challenging side without being too hard. The game was very nonlinear which was fun because there were plenty of puzzles that I noticed, figured I’d come back to when I had everything to solve it, only to realize later that everything I needed was there the whole time. Probably my favorite of their online offerings.
The Lost TempleCU Adventures In Time And Space - OnlineEscape roomVirtual Fun, but their other online game Floor 13 was a lot stronger story wise and puzzle wise. There were some great puzzles, especially the final puzzle. A lot of set out though.
La Station Oubliée [The Forgotten Station]Immersia Escape Games - OnlineEscape roomVirtual Very fun game! The videos were hilarious! Also, for a room with so many locks, they were really clever in how they told the player which one to do!
AmnesiaPrestige Escape Rooms - OnlineEscape roomVirtual It was okay. A lot of fun references and cute touches that added to the theme. Bogged down by a few things like an item that looks clickable but isn’t so I spent time opening and closing a drawer trying to figure out how to get the item. I wouldn’t rate it as the hardest if their online games.
Spirit Seekers Ireland: Clare AbbeyOnline Escape Rooms Ireland - OnlineEscape roomVirtual The set was great, a cool mix of real world footage and cool scenery. The puzzles themselves were tricky, made harder by the number of areas to explore. I recommend making note of EVERYTHING you find in each area so you don’t waste too much time backtracking. A lot of finding in the game, some which I loved, some of which was frustrating because it felt like I found some things purely by chance. I highly recommend doing this with a group because there is so much to explore and find.
Murder MotelEnigma Live Escape RoomsEscape roomVirtual Very gory without being scary or having jump scares, the optional music really added to the ambiance as well. A lot of number and letter codes which meant a ton of guesswork in figuring out where each went. Ending was fun as well.
Safe House 360Lucardo Manchester OnlineEscape roomVirtual Flowed really well and the videos were fun and goofy. A lot of really unique puzzles that went perfectly with the theme!
D'vile's Curio ShoppeMystery Mansion Regina - OnlineEscape roomVirtual There’s a lot to love and more than a few things not to like about this room. A lot of super fun and creative puzzles that really fit well and made sense. On the other hand, WAY too much video with unnecessary commentary or the guy pretending to be scared that really has a negative impact on my experience. A few issues with puzzles where I had the code and then had to toggle (ie: from S to T and then back to S) to get them to open or where the placement wasn’t entirely clear. The set was very cool however, especially the more you were able to explore.
