GothamOccultus Room EscapeEscape roomIRLA solid semi-non-linear room that became more linear as you progressed. Some puzzles that required some attention to detail, but nothing super tricky overall. It seemed at points that the GM HAD to intervene or move us through a transition faster. It was a solidly ok room overall.
The Game [prev. Teste]Occultus Room EscapeEscape roomIRLI truly don’t have enough words to tell you how awesome this room was!! It is HIGHLY physical, so be ready with some gym gear that is easy to move around in. It was a linear room that required a LOT of teamwork. None of the puzzles with particularly difficult, but the circumstances under which you did them was the tricky part. Don’t skip the end (if it’s possible to do so…)!!
AliceCubus Escape RoomEscape roomIRLÓtimo!! Really interesting room with LOTS of crawling and climbing, as to be expected from Alice’s adventures!! Nothing too difficult puzzle-wise but a super fun room in general!! Linear room with some pretty classic puzzles if you have done a lot of rooms.
Peaky Blind – MafiaCubus Escape RoomEscape roomIRLAnother linear room with a great set!! We got tripped up on a few puzzles and there were 2 that I still don’t think were correct/do-able without some guesswork. Some interesting/different puzzles and excitement (we even got to do something that feels super wrong, coming from American escape rooms!! 🫣).
Wizard’s AlleyEscapeWorks Denver - BallparkEscape roomIRLAWESOME set design!! I really wanted to spend some time looking around at all of the details!! Linear room with a nice mix of different kinds of puzzles. Having some prior Harry Potter awareness didn’t hurt either. 🙃

Wharf of WonderThemescape Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally awesome room!! Great set design and integration across the board!! Semi-non-linear with some puzzles that could be worked on simultaneously but a definite flow to the room. A few jump scares to watch out for. The room was dark but still manageable and they gave extra lighting.
The Curse of The H.M.S Constantine 1.5Atlas Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe love their quick, non-linear rooms!! Sooooo much do to in this room. Nothing too tricky (other than us SERIOUSLY overthinking one puzzle… 🤦♀️). Be prepared to move quick with a smaller group!!
Pharaoh’s RevengeThe 47 Seals EscapeEscape roomIRLIt was a perfectly fine room. Nothing too exciting either way, but we didn’t have super high hopes walking in. It was way too dark and you just had little flashlights the whole time, which probably made it more difficult in general. Nothing too terribly difficult, besides deciphering unclear hieroglyphs (which I’m pretty sure every Egyptian game has). A few puzzles didn’t “trigger” anything, you had to test to see if things opened. Just a heads up that the rooms are NOT guaranteed private unless you book in-person.
The IllusionistEscaped in TimeEscape roomIRLTheir newest room and it didn’t disappoint (despite loving the one it replaced)!! LOTS of puzzles that kept us moving throughout. It seemed to start non-linear and funnel down to linear puzzles towards the end. Mostly traditional combination locks, but layered puzzles to come up with the solution. One super tricky puzzle that we NEVER would have seen without help. 👀🤣🤣 If these are the rooms the new owners are creating, we will keep coming to try all their new stuff!!
Soul Survivor │ prev. Mirror MansionConTRAPtions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was a solidly ok room. It’s mostly linear with a few puzzles that you feel like you should be able to work on at the same time. Some of the clues/audio cues were suuuuuper hard to hear due to the background noses. This group tends to have puzzles that are suuuuuuper touchy and some that require attention to minute details. There was one puzzle that completely stalled us due to it being so exacting with what it needed. We lost all momentum and struggled to get through the rest of the game. Not my favorite, but it probably would have been better for us if we hadn’t gotten stuck on the one puzzle.
The Tears of FreyaMystic Escape Room - DenverEscape roomIRLReally awesome set design. The room was mostly linear. There were some issues with not setting the room up correctly when we started and one of the puzzles didn’t release once we had solved it. The GM was great and stepped in relatively quickly. There was one puzzle that was way more difficult than it needed to be. By a long shot. And it was pretty difficult to hear over the ambience. I had to “undo” some of the parts of the room to be able hear enough to do other puzzles. Not my favorite, but the set design helps a lot!!
Nikola Tesla - The Last ExperimentMystic Escape Room - DenverEscape roomIRL4 people definitely felt like too many for this mostly linear room. Great atmosphere in general!! We got stuck on a few puzzles, mostly of our own doing with overthinking.
Haunted HouseEscapology - SolonEscape roomIRLLinear room with a few little jump scares. Nothing too crazy difficult for the puzzles. You mostly have to pay attention to little clues/hints.
The Crypt of the Voodoo QueenAtlas Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThey had some great new puzzles in this room!! We love that all of their rooms are non-linear with A LOT of puzzles that keep us busy and moving!! No one “type” of puzzle was done twice which helped us to feel like we were working the whole time (no multiple cyphers or anything). Another great room for these guys!!
Tiger's EyeConTRAPtions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLIt was a solidly ok room. As everyone mentioned, there is a LOT of reading and papers to keep track of. Probably a smart idea to have someone in charge of all of that!! It was a linear room with bonus puzzles if you got out fast enough (we definitely did not ). The last 2 puzzles were pretty persnickety, which got frustrating. But it was fine overall.
Frost Base ZRabbit Hole Recreation ServicesEscape roomIRLWhat an odd experience. The set design was awesome and fully immersive. The room seemed to be a linear room where you could see all of the puzzles. This had us working on things that we didn’t actually have enough info to solve and scattered throughout the whole experience. It isn’t fun when you have to be pushed clues to make any kind of progress.
Secrets of the PharaohsTime Emporium - LovelandEscape roomIRLSolidly ok room. I’m not sure if it was meant to be non-linear or if we were just able to guess our way through some puzzles to make it non-linear. Not too difficult of puzzles overall. Apparently we guessed one of them before we had the clue, which caused some confusion when we got the actual clue for that puzzle. Not my favorite room overall, but solidly ok.
Blackbeard's BrigEscapeWorks Denver - BallparkEscape roomIRLMostly non-linear room that was clearly intended for larger groups. We had to boogie as a team of 2, but it was definitely do-able!! Lots of different kinds of puzzles throughout. We got pretty stuck on one puzzle purely because we are dummies (haha) but it was a great room overall!! Easy one to do before a baseball game!!
Mission to Planet XFort Collins Escape RoomEscape roomIRLNever a good room when you have to be walked through a majority of the puzzles and we are NOT new to escape rooms. The puzzles weren’t all that difficult once you knew what to do next, but there was no flow in this mostly linear room. Definitely have patience because a few of the puzzles were just about sitting and watching things.
