The Book Of SoulsMystic Escape Room - LittletonEscape roomIRLOutstanding and fun. A little tough with 2 people. 3-4 would probably be good. 6 would probably be a bit much.
The Amulet of TimeMystic Escape Room - LittletonEscape roomIRLThis was great. I struggle a little with books wondering what is a red herring/not part of a clue, but we figured it out. There was one puzzle that was particularly difficult requiring both reference another clue and deciphering the instructions, a good balance of easy and difficult and good atmosphere.
The Flying DutchmanLabyrinth Games Room Escape HelsinkiEscape roomIRLThis was fun and flowed well. Puzzles were difficult but once you make the right observation, it all clicks.
The PathEscape Unknown / Central Arkansas Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLHonestly neat. Knowing the puzzles are linear and you'll never use the same items twice really was key, because there's plenty to get confused by. But know that not only items, but even the solution texts and clues were one time use, really made it doable. Posters and ciphers are only used for a single puzzle, not something you have to keep going back to later on. Environment was coold and I love a modern sensor system rather than a lock and key system. There's one puzzle that is half solving the clues, and have actually solving a puzzle like a modern mobile puzzle game. Only complaint is 2 design issues. Hard to describe them without spoiling, but our feedback was given to the staff as it should have an easy "fix".
The Orphanage60Out - KoreatownEscape roomIRLThis was my favorite escape room so far! It was spooky and atmospheric. Had hidden passages. Practical solutions, bot just lock and key. And was a nice surprise toward the end when the aesthetic changes. I am a fan of scary and was a big fan of this. Only negative was that we locked ourselves put of a solution by accidentally covering the puzzle ad not realizing it. Luckily a hint put us back on track. Thank you Alex fo helping make it fun and staying in character. Also, thank you for scaring my partner. You are a gem.
The CurseExite Live Games KatajanokankatuEscape roomIRLThis was fun a lot more to it than it initially seems. Definitely need to move because there is a lot to do. But overall really fun, good ambiance, and a few sufficiently creepy/scary parts.
SpellboundEnchanted Escape Room - NorthridgeEscape roomIRLGreat Ambiance. A bit wordy for my taste but it is called "Spellbound" so it stands to reason. A couple good red herrings. Only gripe is that one of the puzzles was difficult to trigger even though we solved it. Stil though, Grandma loved her first escape room experience. Expect word puzzles.
Captive ChamberHorror Escapes LAEscape roomIRLA beginners room to be sure, but still fun. Found 1 overlooked area that a person could easily circumvent a couple of the puzzles, but it was clear that was not the intended thing to do. 1 medium difficulty puzzle. Decor was great, but could really use some ambient music and/or sound effects to add the creepy factor. Overall still fun in general. Good for a beginner that likes horror.
