Montauk ProjectMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLSpecial Agent Rori was a great GM. Fun room, great puzzles, nice set.
The BirdMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLToday we played The Bird with a group of 3. We ranged from fairly experienced to a first timer. The room was fun and had some cool puzzles/props that were unique and exciting. We asked for 3 clues I think. Game master was friendly and helpful. I would probably not recommend this for an entire group of first time players but after that I would highly recommend for everyone!
Shipwreck IslandEscapopolisEscape roomIRLLauren was very friendly and was prompt with clues when needed
Sir Ripple Sugartons Candy FactoryEscapopolisEscape roomIRLLauren was great and made an already good experience even better!
SabotageThe Escape Game - Opry MillsEscape roomIRLThis was so fun! Completely different game style than a traditional escape room but if you love puzzles you will love this room. I personally enjoyed the collaboration and teamwork within our room as well as the competitive aspect with our arch nemeses (aka best friends) next door. I can say, although my team didn’t win it was still a lot of fun and we enjoyed the puzzles!
Gold RushThe Escape Game - Opry MillsEscape roomIRLI played this room with my 12 year old son and 3 others we didn’t know and had a great time. There was a variety of puzzles both intellectual and physical that made this room interesting to the older people in the room and the kids. Well done.
Apt A / Apartment AMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLApartment A. This room gives you all the feels! We didn’t know Adam but after you play this room you feel like you do. It is clear Adam was loved and what an amazing way to honor his memory. Puzzles were simple and straight forward, a great room for beginners. I hope they never change this room because it feels so much more important that just an escape room!
Pharaoh’s TombHarrisburg Escape Rooms at ABC East LanesEscape roomIRLThis room had great aesthetics and puzzles flowed very well. We had a 1 adult and 3 kids (12, 12 & 15), one of the 12 year olds was a first time escapee and everyone had fun and every could participate.
Studebaker Scandal - CLOSEDEndeavor Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLEnjoyed this room, Jason was great! The atmosphere was great and obscure to find as I didn’t see a sign outside but once we were inside everything was great. The puzzles were very low tech but period appropriate and enjoyable.
The Clock TowerEscape The Room - ManhattanEscape roomIRLOverall I was disappointed with this room. I did not understand the flow of the game AT ALL. It seemed disjointed thus making it difficult because we solved one thing but had no idea where it lead us and most times we didn’t even know when we had solved a puzzle as there was no sound or anything to indicate it had been solved. Definitely not in my list of top escape rooms in NYC.
Escape Operation: End Of DaysMission Escape GamesEscape roomIRLA very good room! Set was immersive and there was a real flow of puzzles in this room. I played this with my son who has little experience with escape rooms and wanted him to experience as much of the room as possible. I talked with the game master, Charlie, before the game to let her know that our goal was to experience the room not necessarily to “win” and Charlie did a fantastic job of keeping us paced but allowing us to figure it out on own (or so it felt). This wasn’t my favorite theme but the puzzles were great and staff was even better!
Escape The Decade: 1980'sEscape Games Live - YorkEscape roomIRLGreat room for a beginner great, puzzles were great, this room allows you to work on multiple puzzles at a time which is great to get everyone involved.
Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) - CLOSEDLocked Up - Fort WayneEscape roomIRLThis is the first time I’ve started split into 2 different rooms and it was fun. This requires teamwork, the puzzles were challenging but solvable. We were able to all get involved.
The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLIt was fun and kept us moving. We really enjoyed the unexpected twists and the variety of puzzles.
IU Time Warp 2020 - CLOSEDThe Escape Room USAEscape roomIRLSo we went in with the understanding that it was a Indiana themed room and the puzzles were fun but did not flow well. It seemed very mismatched and also I felt like if you didn’t have a medical/science background you might be at more of a disadvantage. We only had 2 players which obviously makes it harder to escape but does allow you to see most of the puzzles. Each individual puzzle did encourage teamwork and communication which was great but the flow just seemed off to me. I would definitely try another of their rooms. Lobby was nice.
The Spirited Study - CLOSED1863 EscapeEscape roomIRLWe played this room several years ago and liked it. The only thing I did not enjoy was the game master coming in to give clues, it did seem to interrupt the game a bit but hopefully that system has been updated by now.
Legend of the Silent Tide - CLOSEDThe Escape CompanyEscape roomIRLOf the two rooms we played at this venue I thought this was more fun. The game flow was better with this room.
The Knights Of NorwichThe Escape CompanyEscape roomIRLFirst of all the staff was great, the owner was amazing and we had a good time. With that said this just wasn’t my favorite escape room, the puzzles were okay but just average and seemed pretty worn. I feel like this could be an okay experience for a beginner who doesn’t have a lot to compare it to and is just getting their feet wet in the escape game culture.
Ghostly EncounterEscape2Win ClevelandEscape roomIRLI love all of Escape2Win’s games, this was again great set design, puzzles flowed well. Some repeat puzzles between rooms however it didn’t bother me because it seemed natural in both games. I played this room with 2 thirteen year olds (one with escape room experience and one with none) and both young people really enjoyed it. It was spooky but not too scary.
