A Totally 90’s MysteryEscape Room HersheyEscape roomIRLBasic room with a fun theme. Enjoyed all the puzzles. The room seems to be on the older side and when that's the case, sometimes you get to a puzzle and wonder if something is "worn out" or if you are actually supposed to do what you think a prompt is telling you. But overall it was fun with a lovely GM!
IgnotumLinked Minds Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe had a wonderful time in this room. There are 4 "rockets" which are puzzle stations. You solve those to complete the room. The GM is in the room, in character, to give clues and check on your solutions. The music is fun and thematic. We had a terrific time!
Del Vino [Wine]Escape Room Del Vino "Desafío Subterráneo"Escape roomIRLWhat a fun experience! There are elements in this room that we have never experienced in any other room and which were really fun surprises!
Barcelona MysteryFinders SeekersEscape roomTabletopPuzzles were generally pretty good. The logic puzzle was annoying with too much text to really make it fun to sort through. Loved all the others.
Las Reliquias De San Saturio [The Relics of San Saturio]Escape Room SoriaEscape roomIRLThis room was loads of fun. We are English-speaking and there was a bit of a barrier with the GM but really it was fine.
The Lost ProfessorOne Way Out - Lynchburg Escape RoomEscape roomIRLHad a fun time in this room. Great puzzles and flow. We loved the theme. It's on the easy side.
Greek Isles Finders SeekersEscape roomTabletopWe have done probably a dozen finders seekers games and this one was disappointing. The puzzles were really simple; child level for many of them.
Blackbeard's CabinColonial Escape RoomEscape roomIRLGood theme. Very low tech puzzles solving for numerical codes to use for the final escape. One puzzle was a little fiddly and gave us transposed numbers. Overall a good experience.
Australian OutbackFinders SeekersEscape roomTabletopLove these games--we have done many and they never repeat puzzles.
Pirate ShipMaui Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLLoved the room. There's a puzzle that you solve then use a few times that gets a little tiresome to do over and over. But it's got a lot of novel puzzles and we had a great time!
Ka Puka BunkerMaui Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally fun room with puzzles we have not seen before. The GM was a little too explicit with the one nudge we needed but it was still a wonderful experience.
Arizona Shootout - Most WantedEscapology - Phoenix SantanEscape roomIRLFun and easy room. Cute theme. GM was a little too quick to offer clues. Person who greeted and checked us in seemed really checked out.
Wild WestFox in a Box TucsonEscape roomIRLThis room was full of puzzles we have never experienced and was a ton of fun.
Six Shooter Bunk HouseAce of EscapeEscape roomIRLWe had a fun time in this game. It flowed really well with almost no lulls. Largely mechanical and the puzzles were fun! Music was a wonderful addition to the atmosphere.
Once Upon A TimeOnce Upon an EscapeEscape roomIRLWe had a great time in this room. GM was friendly and welcoming. We had a slow start to the room but then it was smooth sailing. I realized when we left that I have no idea how we were supposed to keep track of elapsed time--maybe we were supposed to ask? It would be helpful if they had a countdown clock. Everything worked like it was supposed to and the story was cute.
Escape The City - Las Vegas [Outdoor]Escapely - Las VegasEscape roomOther Cons: 1. having to walk through a children's playground and into a private business for this game. 2. One clue is very covered and faded. We have done other "Escape the City" games. The others took place entirely in public spaces. The penultimate clue for the Las Vegas version required entering a private business limited to people over 21. We felt uncomfortable going to play a game in a place where there was a bouncer checking IDs and we weren't going to conduct any business. Big drawback for this game. Slightly less of a drawback was having to hunt around a children's playground--there were tons of kids playing and it's weird to be an adult just walking through with your game. Finally, one very fun clue was overwhelmed by the place where it is and VERY faded.
Escape The City - Portland [Outdoor]Escapely - PortlandEscape roomOther If we had not previously done the one for Baltimore, I would have given this a positive rating. Unfortunately, once you play one city, the puzzles and storyline are the same. So we remembered many of the answers and puzzles. Really bummed because this was a fun way to explore a city.
Krockbuster - Don't Get FiredEscape Tech - Salem Kroc CenterEscape roomIRLWe loved the theme and our enthusiastic GM but this room ultimately didn't flow well. Everything worked and it was thematic which was great. But it's too easy to get a solution early on that you can't use yet and once you do that many times, you lose track. It's a good idea that, if tightened up, would be excellent.
