    Escaparium Laval

    It is not hype to say this is the new #1 escape game in the world. The talented team at Escaparium has created something really special--it's a puzzle game, an immersive experience, and a show that is both intimate and larger than life. It's hard to describe (without spoilers) the many ways this is an exceptional game. When we reached the end, and the credits rolled (a nice touch), we just stood there in awe, not believing the scale, emotion, and grandeur of what we had just experienced. Escaparium Laval should be considered the top destination for any serious escape room enthusiast. In one place you can play TERPECA's best The Forgotten Cathedral, Wardrobe for Sale, Voodoo Queen, Rain Corp and the latest addition, Magnifico's Circus, too. Book your tickets now!

    OMG! Escaparium has outdone themselves on this one. Equal to the best games in Europe, on par with Molly’s Game and Non-Believers. Definitely a must travel to play!

    13th Hour Escape Room - Wharton

    This Oz game is Wonderful! A must play for fans of the movie or the books, immersive scenery, or if you are just looking for something unique. The game is a delightful trip into the world of Oz as experienced by Dorothy. Puzzling is light, so very kid friendly or good for beginners. Our team of experienced players also enjoyed it and left with smiles on our faces. While not horror themed like most of the games at 13th Hour, we could feel their design influence in the mechanics. Overall, would vote this a must play. Play this game, and tell them you found it in Morty!

    I loved playing Stash House! It’s one of those games where all the elements of story, setting, and puzzles fit together seamlessly. From the non-descript entry to the mission through to the conclusion, the atmosphere and mood just flows. There’s a fair amount of drug culture references, but it’s up to the player to decide how much is real life and how much is movie-like make believe.

    A must play! Creative, fun, humorous with progressively more difficult puzzles to solve. The game is hard to describe without spoiling what makes it fun, but we laughed our way through this journey. The game was avatar-hosted vs avatar-led, a trend I’ve experienced in some of the best new escape rooms. By avatar hosted I mean there is an actor of sorts guiding the way and/or taking actions on the player’s behalf but not wearing a camera to give the view of the game.

    Well-designed set, challenging puzzles, and some clever surprises all combined to make this a fun quest. The story is simplistic, but all efforts in the game drive you forward to a satisfying conclusion. Our experienced team of 3 had to move quickly through the tasks, so 4 would be ideal. We enjoyed The Last Supper at Quest Tavern and were pleased to have the same game master.

    Return of the Pharaohs is the best Egyptian-themed game I have ever played! Exceptional game play, puzzles, and use of props. Tech integration was seamless. Story moved along with the puzzling which multi-layered and engaging for the whole team. Set used, but didn’t overuse, the Egyptian theme which is a common problem in this genre. By a problem, I mean (no spoiler) I’ve played games where we spend an hour learning and translating hieroglyphics over and over and over and over again! Or where the game expects you to know all Egyptian mythology as if we personally dug up King Tut’s tomb! Talk about frustrating. Instead, Paragon wisely chose not to abuse any Egyptian themed tropes. This is a great game; can’t wait to see what Paragon builds next! Definitely go play this game and tell them you found it on Morty.

    Well done narrative-driven game with an unusual story. The Ghost Light is left on so that the ghosts of the performers can take stage every night. The mystery in this room creatively builds on this theme. There were a couple of really great reveals and transitions in this game. Highly recommend.

    13th Hour Escape Room - Wharton

    • Escape room

    Most elaborate of the rooms at 13th hour which has created an entire horror-themed collection of escape rooms tied to the narrative of the murderous John Hayden family. This room was the most challenging for our team of experienced enthusiasts, but it also had the most clever reveals. These are large rooms in a warehouse-sized space and the game creators really take advantage of it with their non-linear puzzle design. We got to enjoy having actors in the room during REA Escape Immerse Explore 1-day tour. They were funny spooky not scary so ask if available as their presence really adds to the experience. Note that one puzzle would be very problematic for anyone with claustrophobia.

    What happens in Buffalo stays in Buffalo! I’ve played several Hangover-themed games and this is the best by far, establishing a very high benchmark to beat. This game had just the right amount of humor and raunch. While you don’t need to know the movie, you’ll appreciate the details more. The set is great and the ending is one of the best I’ve experienced.
