The StorykeeperLocurioEscape roomIRLAn amazing escape room that blends super fun puzzles with storytelling. I love the "puzzle-forward" aspect of this room, and loved how thematic and creative each of the puzzles were. Honestly, I wish I could forget this experience so I could re-experience it for the first time again. It was just such a blast! HIGHLY recommend.
The Nest [Immersive Theatre]Hatch EscapesEscape roomOther Such a great experience! It helped to think of myself as a video game character - you’ll interact and solve light puzzles, but overall this isn’t an “escape room” with the goal of escaping. Highly recommend!
The Vanishing ActLocurioEscape roomIRLSUPER fun game with some really creative & fun puzzle elements. My favorite part of this game was the STORY, and the way in which the puzzle elements helped to create a larger narrative that you discover along the way. We did this with 7 people, and I would recommend this room to groups of 4+. I think you would have difficulty doing this with a group smaller than 4.
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLReally fun room with lots of surprises. We did this room with 2 people & had a blast. Puzzles varied in difficulty & type - there at least one “dexterity” puzzle, which was really fun!
The Curious Elevator of Mr. HincksBluefish GamesEscape roomTabletopThis has been my absolutely FAVORITE tabletop escape room/ puzzle game to date! I’ve done quite a few puzzle games, but man, this was one of the few where I was genuinely bummed to finish because I didn’t want it to end. Just the right amount of whimsy, materials that feel “real” and immersed me fully in the story, and top notch puzzles. Every puzzle had a logical answer that felt satisfying, and there was a variety of types of puzzles & difficulties that worked well for me. I can’t wait to try more games from this company. Hands down the best puzzle game I’ve had the joy of playing.
Ruins: Forbidden TreasureThe Escape Game - Seattle DowntownEscape roomIRLReally fun room!! We played with 2 people and were able to finish. Solid game with good mix of puzzles that flowed well and had good clueing. We also loved the variety of room theming from start to finish. Would recommend for 2 people who have at least some experience with escape rooms. We’re excited to come back and try their other rooms!
Escape from The Starline ExpressProfessor Puzzle - OnlineEscape roomTabletopDecent introduction to the “escape room in a box” category. The puzzles were just okay. As some others mentioned, some are too easy and others are too difficult or just plain unsatisfying. I enjoyed the storyline and finding the next correct envelope to open. It’s a fine game to play if you’ve got a spare 90 min. However, this wouldn’t be my first pick to recommend to someone else.
