The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

13th Hour Escape Room - Wharton

Escape room
IRL

9.3/10 Wow! This was an absolute adventure from beginning to end. The room was one of, if not, the most well designed rooms that I have ever played in. You are fully immersed in the story the moment you step into the room. All I can say is wow and that this is a must do room!

Storyteller's Secret

Storyteller's Secret

Boxaroo

Escape room
IRL

8.7/10 After traveling several miles to get to Boxaroo in Boston and try Storyteller’s Secret, we can definitely assure you it was worth it. The set itself was extraordinary and really immersed you into the author’s world. This had to be one of the best “non-escape” rooms we have been a part of, with puzzles galore and a plot that lasted over an hour without becoming boring. We personally thought the intro video and hint system really stood out (even though we didn’t need to use many hints). Our only hiccup with the room was the repetition of using and doing the same puzzles (and some technical difficulties with a specific puzzle). We wish they could have added a new layer of something, instead of having to go back to repeat what we just did. Otherwise, between the storyline, design, and gameplay, this room rightfully earned itself a rating of 8.7 on our scale.

Clue IQ

Escape room

WOW!! This was the first room we’ve done that was over 60 minutes and we were not disappointed at all. ClueIQ were able to fit so many different and unique puzzles in the room, that worked well with the theme. I feel that the atmosphere of the “manor” really drove this room forward and kept us on our toes the whole time. Really fun room and would highly recommend! (We can’t wait to do their other rooms) 8.9/10

Invasion

Invasion

Mind Factory Escape Games

Escape room
IRL

8.2/10 We are loving the story Mind Factory is taking us through with their rooms and Invasion only heightens our anticipation for what's to come. We highly recommend playing Breathless first if you can, as it sets the stage for the story that carries over into Invasion. However, if you're only able to play Invasion, you won't be disappointed. From the outset, Invasion impressed us with its immersive storytelling and expertly crafted puzzles. The room’s flow felt seamless, with each challenge feeling like a natural progression within the story. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into the puzzle design, and everything just clicked during our experience. For us, Invasion ended up being the superior room compared to Breathless, though we thoroughly enjoyed both. One standout feature is a particularly well-designed prop in the room, which plays a significant role in the overarching narrative. The level of detail on this prop is remarkable, and it definitely added a layer of immersion to the experience. However, as much as we loved it, we felt it could have been more integrated throughout the room, rather than just sitting in the background. Given its importance to the story, we’d have liked to see it play a more active role. Overall, Invasion at Mind Factory is a fantastic adventure for any escape room enthusiast. We’re excited to see what the team has in store for their upcoming rooms, especially after speaking with Dave, the owner. His passion for escape rooms is infectious, and it’s clear that they’re dedicated to taking their experiences to the next level. We highly recommend checking out Invasion, and don’t forget to play Breathless if you can. We can’t wait for their third room!

Ghost Light

Ghost Light

MyssTic Rooms

Escape room
IRL

9/10 After playing Ghost Light, it is no surprise why Myss Tic is such a highly recommended location in New York. Ghost Light took us on a journey that we can only describe as beautiful. They put a unique twist on a typical “ghost-theme” and made a story that will please almost anyone! The mission was clear and the journey through the room along with the puzzles fit in so well with the story. The details in this room put you right on set and make you feel as though you are about to make your broadway debut. There is one puzzle that uses smell and the scents are very strong, so if anyone is sensitive to strong scents here is your warning! But wow…. The ending of Ghost Light really stood out and we absolutely loved everything that was done in order to finish this room. After 87 games played, Ghost Light makes our top 5 games and we can’t recommend it enough! Break a leg!

Train Robbery

Train Robbery

Cyber Raccoon Escape Room

Escape room
IRL

7.9/10 Train Robbery has been on our wishlist for quite a while, so we were happy to finally be able to play it. This room definitely did not disappoint with a great story and fun atmosphere making it one of the better rooms in the DC/Northern VA area. There is an aspect of a “whodunit,” which isn’t usually our cup of tea but it was still super enjoyable with a lot to do! It was on the more difficult side, especially with only 2 people, but we were able to beat it with a minute to spare 😬 (You can check out our full review on our blog. Link in our profile.

The Grand Parlor

13th Hour Escape Room - Wharton

Escape room
IRL

You know a room is above and beyond when you want to go back and play it again. 13th Hour and The Grand Parlor live up to the hype!!! We completed this as a group of 2, but instantly wished we had AT LEAST a group of 4. There is so much to see and do that we did miss some pieces to certain puzzles and could’ve used more eyes to pick up on them. The only negative was that we felt rushed from the time we stepped through the door to the time we left. We never got a second to really appreciate the experience. This may be due to the fact that they are always completely booked especially on weekends (maybe try going during the week). THIS IS A MUST DO ROOM! 9.4/10

8-Bit Escape

Escape Room Herndon

Escape room
IRL

This was the final room that we needed to complete at ERH, and they just do not miss with any of their rooms. Right as the game master opens the door for you to enter this room, you are going to be fully immersed in a living room based in the 80s. Everything about this room, from the props to the puzzles themselves make this one of, if not the most perfect 80s themed rooms out there. This room was nonstop fun (even with us being born in the late 90s) and had some very unique puzzles that went with the theme as well. The final part of the room was so much fun and really ended the room with a bang! There is a bonus puzzle after completing the room if you finished in a certain amount of time, which isn’t too difficult. Overall, this was a great room and if you are in the area, it is a must do. 8.5/10

Escape Room Herndon

Escape room
IRL

By far, one of the best experiences we’ve had in any escape room. After completing 60 rooms, this is definitely in our top 3 favorite rooms so far. There are so many different unique elements to this room that you just have to do to experience yourselves. Can’t say much more without spoiling the room, so do yourselves a favor and come out and do this room! 9.2/10

Cryptid Grove

Cryptid Grove

Escape Room Herndon - Raven's Nest

Escape room
IRL

8/10 We’ll start off by saying we love Ravenchase rooms, so when we heard a brand new location was opening with a new room, we had to play it right away! There is so much to do here, and when you first walk in it can all be a bit overwhelming, but this only makes solving each of the puzzles that more satisfying. The flow from puzzle to puzzle was very smooth. We enjoyed each of the puzzles and thought they went well with the story! We do wish we were more immersed in this world they try to create. When we played Cryptid Grove, the game wasn’t even out to the public for a full week so this can easily be fixed to make it truly feel like you are in a cabin in the woods!

Every escape room. Every haunt. Ever.
