Molly's GameUntold Stories Experiences [prev. Down the Hatch]Escape roomIRLWOW, just wow. An absolutely fantastic experience. I am definitely not into scary escape rooms, but Molly’s Game has been on my list for a year – and it was therefore a must-play for me. We travelled to Amsterdam for only 24 hours just to play escape rooms, and Molly’s Game was on our list. At no point did I regret it. It wasn’t nearly as scary as I had feared. Benito was an amazing game master, calm, attentive, and incredibly good at reading his guests. You immediately feel welcome and in safe hands. The ending brought tears to my eyes, both because of the story itself and because the experience was over. I am so jealous of everyone who is about to play this game for the first time.
TaoBite The FlyEscape roomIRLWow this was very fun! It’s a very different kind of escape room where you really have to use your body, not just your brain. Don’t expect lots of super difficult puzzles that’s not the point here. The experience is much more physical and interactive! You definitely need to be ready to step a little outside your comfort zone and just go for it. If you do, it’s a blast. We laughed a lot and had such a good time.
La Mina Madrid [Brown Experience: The Mine]Colors by Experiencity [prev. Hidden Escape Room]Escape roomIRLLa Mina was such a fun experience! It felt different from many other escape rooms we’ve tried. The use of loud sounds and the overall atmosphere made it very immersive and intense in a good way. You really feel drawn into the story from the start. The game kept us engaged the whole time, and the setting added a lot to the experience. Just a small heads-up: you will get quite dirty during the experience, so dress accordingly! We also had a really sweet and friendly gamemaster, which made everything even better. Overall, a great experience that we’d definitely recommend!
La Entrevista [The Interview]Cubick Room EscapeEscape roomIRLWe were two people playing The Interview, and honestly…what a disappointment. The room itself feels extremely worn down and heavily used. It’s very obvious that it hasn’t been properly maintained. On top of that, it was almost impossible to hear what the gamemaster was saying. He spoke through the microphone constantly, and unfortunately with a really unpleasant attitude. I understand that he was trying to play the “boss” role, but there’s a big difference between acting and just being rude. To be fair, he did give us a lot of extra time and allowed us to finish the entire room, which we appreciated. However, when we came out, his attitude was the worst I’ve ever experienced in an escape room???He complained that we were the only booking that day, said he didn’t even like escape rooms himself, and didn’t have anything positive to say about the room either. It was a really unfortunate start to our trip to Madrid.
WantedEscape FactoryEscape roomIRLWanted er et okay escaperoom, og det er tydeligt, at rummet er markant nyere end nogle af deres andre. Det fremstår mere velholdt og gennemtænkt, selvom det ikke byder på de store “wow-oplevelser”. Gåderne er overordnet set fine nok, og flere af dem virker faktisk til, at der er tænkt en smule over sammenhængen med temaet, hvilket klart trækker oplevelsen op. Vi kom direkte fra rummet Enigma, hvor vi havde haft en utrolig kedelig oplevelse, som stadig sad i os. Derfor var jeg alligevel glad for, at vi sluttede af med Wanted, da det føles som et klassisk dansk escaperoom: uden de store effekter, men også uden de helt store frustrationer. Der er dog meget, der følger den velkendte formular, rigtig mange hængelåse, den helt klassiske morsekode-gåde (som nærmest alle escaperooms har brugt siden 2015), og generelt få overraskelser. Alt i alt et okay rum, som fungerer fint, men som heller ikke skiller sig nævneværdigt ud. Et sikkert valg, hvis man ved, hvad man går ind til, og ikke forventer noget nyskabende.
Experiencia Naranja: Aladino [Orange Experience: Aladdin]Terror Stories By ExperiencityEscape roomIRLThe set design is beautiful and immersive, and the atmosphere is very well done. Our gamemaster was absolutely fantastic. He played multiple roles and truly elevated the experience with his performance. You could tell he put a lot of effort and heart into it, and he was genuinely kind and professional throughout. Unfortunately, the puzzles completely ruined the experience for us. They felt random and disconnected, with no clear red thread or logical flow. Many of them were frustrating rather than clever. The hints were written in black text in dark areas, which made them unnecessarily difficult to read, and the English translations were very poor. In the end, we actually asked to be let out in the final room because we were tired of guessing instead of solving. It’s a real shame, because the room has so much potential. Even the gamemaster seemed aware that the room is in serious need of renewal and updates. With better puzzle design and clearer translations, this could be something truly special.
EnigmaEscape FactoryEscape roomIRLHold da op. Dette rum var absolut ikke et af mine yndlings. Der manglede fuldstændig en rød tråd, og mange af gåderne bestod primært af meget simple “kig i skuffen/lommen/under tæppet”-opgaver, som hverken var kreative eller udfordrende. Vi endte med at forlade rummet, inden tiden løb ud, da alt for mange elementer krævede rent gætteri og virkede tilfældige frem for logiske. Det gav en fornemmelse af, at løsningerne ikke var gennemtænkte, men snarere sat sammen uden sammenhæng. Derudover var der ingen egentlige “wow-effekter” overhovedet. Lyden i rummet var utrolig lav og bidrog ikke til stemningen, og meget af udstyret virkede enten slidt eller fungerede slet ikke. Set i forhold til prisen virkede det hele simpelthen helt off. Ærligt talt føles det strengt, at man kan tillade sig at tage penge for noget, der markedsføres som en oplevelse, når kvaliteten er så lav. Det eneste klart positive var medarbejderen, som var utrolig sød og professionel. Hun håndterede situationen virkelig godt, også selvom hun stod over for to gæster, der har spillet mange escaperooms og derfor var tydeligt skuffede over den flade oplevelse. Hendes måde at deale med skuffelsen på var klart mere gennemført end selve rummet. Hvis man virkelig gerne vil spille et escaperoom i Aarhus, kan jeg måske anbefale deres rum Wanted men kun hvis man skruer forventningerne helt ned.
