Lost City Of Atlantis

Lost City Of Atlantis

Game Over Escape Rooms - Orlando

  • Escape room
  • IRL
Atlantis was my first time at Game Over games, and while there's a lot of interesting ideas, it doesn't come together into a cohesive experience. This game specifically lacks a good finale, and the puzzles are made challenging by the lighting conditions rather than their difficulty. Can't recommend in the context of the wider Orlando market or for new players, but as an escape room enthusiast I'd play just for some of the interesting ideas.

My wife and I completed this and just kinda sat in silence... we completed it unimpressed and not particularly wanting to continue this saga. For the potential of the medium presented, it takes advantage of none of it. There is a real opportunity, with no time limits, to build out the lore and make the documents more explorable and real-world logic based. Instead, we're deciphering a fourth-grader's science paper for a clue that would absolutely have not been planted by a fourth grader. I suppose it's fine, and $10 for an hour of entertainment for one or two isn't bad. But honestly, there's better options out there.

Escapology - Orlando

Murder on the Orient Express is many things - being both a highly recognizable licensed franchise game, and this location's only 10/10 difficulty room - and let me say, it lives up to both! The set design is relatively basic for the area (we are in the same market as Doldrick's Crazy Train), but this game shines in its fun escape-room logic puzzles. It should be noted, doing this back to back with Scooby-Doo, it shares very similar DNA, especially towards the end of the game (both are whodunits). I'd recommend only for those looking for a challenge and if you really want to try an Escapology room. While not bad, you can find better nearly anywhere else in Orlando (details on experience below).

Captain Spoopy Bones is highly regarded in the Orlando escape room scene, so I had high expectations - and I'm excited to say it lived up to them! Better than anything, Spoopy Bones has incredibly clean gameplay. Everything is well-clued, and with communication as the focus, that was the real challenge. Along the way, there are plenty of surprises and treats in store. Plus, it's hilarious!

A fun, classic, well-themed, non-linear single room escape! The puzzles are pretty tough! While we escaped with 2, I think this would be best enjoyed with at least 3 people. So many clever jokes and puzzles, but don't go in expecting any "wow" moments or huge story beats, just well-done puzzles and a detailed set. The theme is well-done, but it's not a story-driven room. If you're looking to see a classic-style escape room done right, or just want Christmas vibes, this is the room for you!

What a fun and creative escape room! Loved the plot, loved the theme, and loved the puzzles! A great variety of them, all well integrated into the story. The Team Members did an excellent job explaining the types of locks we would use, and our game host was awesome and in character the whole time! Loved that the hints we requested simply pointed us in the right direction, rather than outright giving us the answer. Overall, a wonderful escape room that I would highly recommend! Shoutout to our awesome gamemaster/fellow broseph Jenna for being totally rad!

My review of this room will echo many others' on here - the set is INCREDIBLE. Detailed, thematically appropriate, and worth the price of admission alone. The vibe is undeniably eerie. However, the game length is too short overall, especially for more than two people, and the final puzzle sequence doesn't truly feel like a finale. If you're thinking about asking for hints - I wouldn't recommend it unless you've been stuck for 5 minutes or more, as hints will shorten the game even further. That said, there are some high-tech moments in this game that I haven't seen anywhere else - things that truly feel like magic.

UFO: Go For Launch is a triumph in Escape Room game design. Easily the best room at The Bureau, combining the uniquely excellent gameplay of Puppet Heist and the gorgeous sets of Possession, with a helping of theatrics including an (I presume) original soundtrack. Parts remind me of the movie Searching (2018) - one of my favorites, while other parts are straight-up goofy sci-fi. Not only that, but this room is brilliantly paced. While I understand how others here ranked this lower for tech failures, I thankfully caught it on a perfect day, and WOW was I blown away. Easiest 10/10 I've given to a room. A must-play.
