I put a lot of descriptive adjectives in my escape room reviews for some reason. They’re also overwritten as heck because I really like talking about escape rooms with anyone who will listen. Top 15 Favorite Games: 0. The Chimera Corp Saga: Escape Artist Greenville, Hampton Station 1. Cornstalkers: Lost in the Maize: The Escape Ventures, Orlando (Waterford Lakes) 2. Servants of Sleight: The Escape Ventures, Clearwater 3. Robotopia: Omescape, Sunnyvale 4. Madness: 1917: Doors of Divergence 5. The Edison Escape Room: Palace Games 6. The Attraction: Palace Games 7. Dark Lullaby: Escape Artist Greenville, Hampton Station 8. Pins & Needles Tattoo Parlor: The Escape Ventures, Clearwater 9. Castle Flüffendor: Escape Artist Greenville, Hampton Station 10. 40 Thieves: Mindtrap Escape Room, Temecula 11. The Last Supper: Quest Tavern, Pomona 12. Ghost Patrol: Trivium Games 13. Mogollon Monster: The Nemesis Club 14. EVIL Robots: The Nemesis Club 15. Operation Arctic Storm: The Final Meltdown: The Escape Ventures, Orlando (Waterford Lakes) My tier ranking system: (Love ratings, Highly Recommend) S: The highlights of my time playing escape rooms. For a game to be in this tier they must have done something really special that I don’t think any games lower than this tier do. These are the games that I recommend traveling for and the games I think about constantly. A+: Same as A, except games in this tier begin to transcend just feeling like escape rooms. Games in this tier are mostly story-heavy and blur the line into immersive theatre. These games and up are the ones I find myself talking about afterwards with my team and even non-escape room players. A: Games that I think have something special. They have to have some combination of unique/smart gameplay, great sets, some good story immersion, or just plain being super fun. Anything that I think stands out from other above-average games. (Like ratings, Recommend) B+: Same as B but above-average games in all aspects. This is where the majority of the games I play lie (intentionally only trying to play more-acclaimed games for the most part). Very good but I don’t come out feeling like I’ve seen something special in the industry as a whole. B: Above-average games in one way but not in all ways. Usually, they’re either just all-around well-polished gameplay-centric games that I find kind of forgettable or a memorable story-based experience that is very lacking in interesting gameplay. C+: Same as C, except these games either have something interesting enough or are just all-around fun enough that I think they are worth the money. This tier also has games that could be in B or even A tier but has aspects (usually puzzles/lack therof) bad enough they end up defaulting here. (No ratings, Don’t Recommend) C: Average game. You’ld still come out of it thinking it was a good escape room. However, with the amount of really great ones out there, I don’t think they’re worth your money. (Dislike ratings, Don’t) D: Average games with nothing special about them. I used to give these no ratings but started giving them dislikes because I don’t believe they’re worth the money they’re asking for. If I don’t remember it, why did I pay the money for it? E: Average games that have at least one thing that actively annoys me. I come out of them mostly remembering their flaws. F: Games that are actively frustrating in most aspects, or games that are entirely forgettable. The only thing worse than something that annoys me is something that I don’t have any recollection of at all.
