MagnificoEscaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLIt's crystal clear why this has been rated #1 in the world for a couple years now. This was just room after room after room of pure excitement, thrill, and joy! Every time you move to the next room here you're in a completely different place. The puzzles were excellent and the actors did an impeccable job. Really truly top notch. The set design left me in awe time after time.
La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLHoly moly... this room was insane. Definitely spooky but I mostly just felt awestruck at the decor at all times. The intro was really fun and the game was great, as we enjoyed all of the puzzles. I really liked the tools you use in the first part of the game as we hadn't used anything similar.
L'Île perdue de la Reine Vaudou [The Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLThis game had very solid and fun puzzles, and again the set design here was immaculate. The way to interact with your GM in this one was very funny. I will say that there are a lot of tripping hazards on this one. Beware of your surroundings as there are steps up and down that are kind of "hidden" (they blend in well) and there's a "tricky" area once you get to the 2nd room.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLNot every day are we completely BLOWN AWAY by a room, but holy macaroni, this room was AMAZING. We're just over 100 games now and this is easily top 5 for me. This was the type of the room that when you leave, you're raving for a while. From start to finish the puzzles were awesome, the set decoration was top notch. We had a great time, only getting a little stuck on one puzzle, we were about to ask for hint when I had an "AHA!" moment to solve it, so we got out with no hints and 4 minutes and change left over with 2 players.
Ctrl Alt RebootEscaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLWhat a great start to our time spent at Escaparium over the weekend! We started strong here and were absolutely mind blown by the quality of the set, the character interactions, the fun puzzles - everything! When we walked out of this room, we knew our 13 hour round trip drive from RI was easily worth it. They really make it easy to fall in love with the characters here. As some others say, this room did feel a little puzzle light and storyline heavy, so I didn't feel like I got my hands on a lot of puzzles with a team of 6. But the experience is so immersive, that was just fine by me, as I was given the time to look around the set and just be in complete awe. The intro to this one was my favorite and glad we had it first, as we got to giggle when we saw it happening to other groups over the course of our weekend.
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room was more than worth the extra hour+ out of our way on our road trip from RI to Miami. It is hands down the best room we've done to date. There was always something else to notice each time we looked around. Gameplay was like we were dropped right into a video game. The employees were great and we immediately booked another room at Doldrick's once we got out of this one!
Armoire à Vendre [Wardrobe for Sale]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLWell this room is absolutely spectacular - especially the first half of it in particular. The magic is real and we fell head over heels for a character in this story! The puzzles were fun and whimsical and wonderful. Our GM was just fantastic here. I felt in awe of my surroundings for almost all of the game.
Dragon RealmMile High Escape OpsEscape roomIRLThis room was so incredibly magical! We made this escape our first in the area and we are glad we did! From the beautiful set design to the unique puzzles, the whole experience was amazing. Our game master was one of the owners and it was great to chat with him after we made our escape. There was more than one moment when I squealed with delight so that's a top notch room in my book! We did escape with almost 20 minutes left to spare with just the two of us, so if anything, I wish the room was longer, but I'd certainly recommend this room to both new and seasoned players.
The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLAfter reading through the reviews of this game, we knew it would be a great choice for celebrating our 100th room. Everything about this room was awesome. Set design was magnificent, puzzles were unique and so fun. There were elements of surprise and lots of laughs along the way. Our Game Master gave us the hard version of the puzzles and the two of us escaped with 5 minutes left and only needed a couple very small nudges. We had a blast and would 100% recommend this room to anyone.
