MidniteOuterGround Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLA beautiful and authentic set design, great effects, and a strong opening that sets the tone immediately. The tension curve stays a little flat throughout and the finale feels a little abrupt, but this also means that it's a great intro to more scary games!
Das Erinnerungsarchiv [The Memory Archive]Geheimgang 188 GmbHEscape roomIRLDas Erinnerungsarchiv is a really enjoyable game that gets lots of things right. It features puzzles that always feel connected to the space you're in, with some great "aha" moments. The story is told in a lighthearted way, with some clever foreshadowing; and the finale is just too adorable. It's a game that's as charming as it is satisfying to solve.
Birth MachineMad MachinesEscape roomIRLBirth Machine really lived up to the crazy expectations I had from hearing about the game. I was asking myself "Wait, we're really doing THAT?" multiple times in the best way possible.
Time MachineMad MachinesEscape roomIRLThe start to the experience is just so fun and really gets you excited for the rest of the game, and Arturo is just awesome. We found the puzzles to be nicely tied into the story, which made sense and flowed nicely, and the environment we ended up in looked gorgeous. A minor critique would be that in places you could see the age of the game, as elements of the game looked quite used.
The Village - AdventureUnderground Escape Room MilanoEscape roomIRLA great game with a strong start, an authentic set and a great feeling of exploration throughout the experience.
Ministry of MysteryGeheimgang 188 GmbHEscape roomIRLA solid game with some nice use of lighting and sound, using authentic materials for set and puzzles. There's a lot of arcade style mini-games, that I wished were broken up with some more logic heavy puzzles, which were a bit lacking.
Silent Hill – Stadt der Ängste [Silent Hill – City of Fears]Mystery Game - Escape Rooms LenzburgEscape roomIRLThe room manages to build a nice tense atmosphere, without using too many jump-scares or tropes. Some nice lighting and one transition especially that was unexpected and has a cool effect!

Mad House Mastermind Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLA somewhat creepy game with a nice set and some unique elements to it! The puzzles had a nice flow and all made sense, only one part where extensive searching is required caused some frustration.
World of MagicEscape Company & Bar St. GallenEscape roomIRLOne of the most authentic sets in Switzerland, and a game that will find appeal with any type of group!
Beer FactoryEscape Company & Bar St. GallenEscape roomIRLI liked Beer Factory quite a bit! Keeping in mind that it's an older generation room, the game still has a nice flow to it, and a stand out moment that we really enjoyed!

Molly's GameUntold Stories Experiences [prev. Down the Hatch]Escape roomIRLMolly's Game manages to capture and perfect the essential "escape room". There's no actors, no horror, just a great story with challenging puzzles. We loved the game because it had such a great flow, it never felt easy to solve, but we almost never felt stuck. The puzzles throughout the game feel connected to each other, unlike other games where the puzzles are very clearly different. Yet it never felt repetitive to solve them.

Jason's LegacyOuterGround Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLA great game with some interesting puzzles and unique effects! As members of the neighbourhood watch, you investigate the house of an old priest. What makes this game so good, is that the house you explore feels very real, and not really like an escape room.
The DomeMama BazookaEscape roomIRLThe Dome is so densely packed with great effects, and creates a high-energy chaotic experience that fits very well with the setting. There's a story that threads everything together, but the main focus is on effects and puzzles. And those are done very very well. Unfortunately there were some technical problems in our game, and we received some hints for puzzles we had already completed. In the debrief it became clear that our game master unfortunately wasn't always behind the cameras for our game. These are minor negatives, but not something we expected for such a highly rated game. They also mentioned that the ending of the game was recently changed, and to be honest I'm not sure if it's an improvement, as the game ended very abruptly, and there was no real conclusion to the story.
