The Railcar - CLOSEDEscape Artistry - The RailcarEscape roomIRLThe scenic was very cool- def loved the real feeling of being in the train. But the puzzles seemed dated- clunky and I wasn't a huge fan of multiple ways to get one answer? I feel like this room was probably awesome 5 years ago but it needs to be updated.
Possession At Haddon HeightsThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLI actually enjoyed this game the most out of any at this company. It felt actually challenging, and seemed to break their mold. The scary elements were great, but def not too intense. And I appreciate the 4 person capacity!
Jungle Gem - CLOSEDBreakout Games - Tampa [prev. Imagine Escape Games]Escape roomIRLI would like to say that we played this when imagine was still owned by its creators and not breakout. Back then this game was amazing. And still one of the best game flows I've ever experienced. Not sure if that's still true, but I did love it when it was released.
Outage: No VacancyThe Escape Ventures - Orlando Waterford LakesEscape roomIRLSuch a fun and unique game. Mostly played in the dark it tapped into all your other senses and made for a fun room I've never seen before. It required immense communication between my husband and I, but we had so much fun
The Caretaker - CLOSEDPuzzle Corp. Escape Rooms [prev. America's Escape Game Orlando]Escape roomIRLI was weary about playing this one due to the mixed reviews. But I played it with a group of awesome friends. Some of the puzzles were fine but there was one we literally told our game master- "we're not wasting time on this just tell us how to do it". Because it was clearly there to waste time, it didn't fit with the theme or anything. The scenery was fun and it wasn't scary to me.
The Video StoreDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLOne of my favorites at dare 2 escape. I loved how all the puzzles really tied into the theme and the simplicity of the design fit well to the "blockbuster" era. Overall an amazing game. A good mix of challenging and intuitive puzzles.
Mission Unstoppable: Chopper DownLockbustersEscape roomIRLThe set design was great don't get me wrong, these games are elaborate and beautiful. And while I enjoyed some of their other rooms- this one fell extremely flat. A lot of the puzzles weren't intuitive and didn't fit with the storyline. We even asked our GM at the end how we were supposed to come to certain conclusions and even they couldn't give an explanation.
Crisis At 1600 - CLOSEDPuzzle Corp. Escape Rooms [prev. America's Escape Game Orlando]Escape roomIRLThe worst game/ experience I've had at americas. We were partnered with strangers who had never played. We spent half the game coaching them through the room(trying to include them while also trying to finish). And the game master ignored us for 5-10 min at a time when asking for clues. The scenic design was pretty good and the puzzles were mostly fitting. The manager did make it up to us with a credit for a free game.
