Operation Arctic Storm: The Final MeltdownThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLArctic Storm was an epic escape room adventure, with brilliantly themed puzzles, an expansive set, and ultimately a fantastic time. It was my sister's favorite escape room yet!
Super Bomb SquadDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSuper Bomb Squad was the JackBox Bomb Corps game come to life! Incredibly fun, breezy puzzles, a set with lovely reveals and clever usage of the theme, and a great time had by everyone who played it!
Spoopy's Ghoulish Graveyard GameshowDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLAn incredibly fun sequel! Feels lower budget than Doldrick's other rooms, and I would recommend playing their other rooms first, but it's still a great time with fantastic humor and Spoopy vibes! A worthy entry into the Doldrick's canon.
Lost City Of AtlantisGame Over Escape Rooms - OrlandoEscape roomIRLAtlantis 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.

PlaygroundThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLPlayground is an absolutely joy. Full of bright colors, exciting, simple puzzles, and a wonderfully detailed set, Playground serves as a testament to why Escape Rooms in their purest form are one of the most fun immersive experiences you can have, anywhere.
The DepthsThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThe Depths is an excellent escape room by any measure. A clearly defined story and vibe, impressive sets, and a wide variety of fun puzzles make this a fantastic sub-stantial experience. Highly recommend!
Chasing Hahn: The Heist Volume 1The Escape Game - OnlineEscape roomVirtual 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.
Scooby-Doo™ and the Spooky Castle AdventureEscapology - OrlandoEscape roomIRLScooby Doo and the Spooky Castle Adventure succeeds at capturing the vibes of a Scooby-Doo mystery, with some very fun puzzles, but poor maintenance and operations hindered it from being anything more than a "like".
Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient ExpressEscapology - OrlandoEscape roomIRLMurder 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).
