Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLSuch a unique game! Amazing set design - no store-bought pieces here. A true work of art. Great use of tech and elements I’ve never seen before. The story took a bit of an unexpected turn for me but the game flowed really nicely. Highly recommend!
NevermoreNocturne AdventuresEscape roomIRLI played Nevermore in October and am just getting around to leaving a review—on the day TERPECA results came out and Nevermore made the list!! 🙌 Nicole and Tom are so deserving of the honor. Nevermore transported me to Poe’s world, I loved every second of it. The artistry is stunning and the puzzles flowed nicely and made sense in the setting/story. Nicole and Tom’s experience in the haunt world really comes through in the best possible way (impressive since this isn’t a “horror” room). And, they’re amazing hosts to boot. Worth the trip to play. Can’t wait for whatever they come up with next!
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLWeeping Witch is horror done right. A lot of horror rooms struggle with balancing scares and puzzles, but Cross Roads strikes the perfect balance here while keeping the progression clear. Easily one of my top 10; wish I could experience it again for the first time. We had a group of 4, I wouldn’t do more than that.
The Murder of Max Sinclair [prev. Case Closed]Case Closed EdinburghEscape roomIRLWe had an absolute blast in this room! More of a mystery-solving experience than a typical escape room (we were encouraged to take our time to enjoy the experience rather than rush through it). Ronan was a fantastic host—energetic and enthusiastic. We are excited to try their other room on our next trip to Edinburgh. Highly recommend!
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLPerhaps it was the age of the room and/or my assigned role (detective), but this game did not live up to the hype for me. I can see why it would’ve been considered novel at its inception but props felt old and the scare factor was missing. If you can only do one room at Cross Roads, opt for Weeping Witch instead.
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLBy far the best wizard-themed room I’ve played and one of the best games in OC - so good, I played it twice! Great use of tech and very unique elements not found elsewhere. The game is built so that if some of the more involved puzzles threaten completion, the GMs provide hints that bypass some elements to ensure players finish without really sacrificing experience. Very impressive game, can’t wait for their second room!
Cold CaseCloud EscapeEscape roomIRLAbsolutely thrilling! Horror done exceptionally well—my new favorite. Cheers to our fantastic GM, Hayden. Can’t recommend enough!
The PurgersSage! Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe had a great time in this room! Very unique theme and some charming surprises. GMs/owners were super friendly. Recommend for adults and families!
Cheesie's Pizza Party60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLThis. Room. Is. AWESOME. If you, like me, grew up frequently enduring the inherent creepiness of a certain animatronic mouse and his friends with an equally disturbing slice of pizza, you will love this room. Most unique theme I’ve seen in a while and wonderfully executed. Not scary—perfectly unsettling. Highly recommend!
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLReally fun game! Great use of space and levels. As others have said, smaller groups are better here because of the space and setup. Very easy room so don’t expect to use the whole hour. But very unique and worth playing!
