Legend of the Yeti

Legend of the Yeti

The Escape Game - Orlando

  • Escape room

For the average guest, it's still an acceptable room. For an enthusiast who knows what The Escape Game is capable of, however? This isn't up to their usual standards. At the end of the day, it's just a rethemed version of Gold Rush with fewer puzzles, most of which are incredibly linear and less technologically-driven than its previous iteration. In terms of scenic, Legend of the Yeti starts out strong but also just gets worse as you progress, ending with an extremely anti-climactic final room. Do it for the credit, but this one just seems lazy after playing everything else The Escape Game has to offer.

Another solid room from Escape Ventures! Set design was amazing and just kept surprising throughout, with a solid story that was just a little spooky but not without plenty of laughs. Where I think this room could be improved is with its puzzles, some of which simply felt a bit drawn out or involved a bit more "guess and check" than I usually care for. Phantom Files could easily be a standard 60 minute room, or have a few additional puzzles added to justify its 90 minute playtime!

Gatlin's Escape Games - The Village

A combination of questionable GM directions, worn-out props, and unsatisfying solves made this a less than stellar experience. We were given a tip early on in the game to bring certain items with us to avoid return trips to the starting room, which led us to assume that we would not need to backtrack. That assumption was incorrect. When asked about how he were supposed to solve the final puzzle, we were basically told it was "guess and check" when in reality it's more likely the props were just too faded to read. We were audibly walked through multiple parts of the game as well, perhaps due to past technical failures or guests not doing the tricks correctly. All of this completely ruined the magic. Hopefully the Pigeon Forge location's updated version fares better!

904 Robots Saved! Definitely not a typical escape room experience, but more of an interactive video game. I can see why some people get frustrated with this, if they're unaware of what they're signing up for. We didn't have any tech issues. There are a few changes I'd like to see implemented to make the room feel a bit more fair and interactive, including better tracking of how many robots you've saved and not locking out games after a certain amount of correct solves. Overall: something different than you might be used to and an enjoyable experience for most gamers, but might not be for the typical escape room crowd.

The majority of this room is in complete darkness, which isn't something you see too often and lends itself to some cool puzzles. The addition of "extra credit" puzzles was strange to us; we wish every puzzle had been required to exit, because otherwise the experience feels like it could be rather short. I'd recommend completing everything the room has to offer before leaving - though it isn't 100% clear in the moment exactly what puzzles are needed to escape. Overall a solid experience. Will definitely be back in the future to check out their other rooms!

Alcatraz Escape Games - Draper

If you're looking for an immersive haunt that will scare the daylights out of you, this will deliver. One girl in our group had to leave early. If you're looking for an escape room, steer well clear. Completely illogical puzzles with zero signposting, and no hints given when you get stuck. Things just seem to "happen" after enough time has passed, and it's neither rewarding nor fulfilling not having a clue what's going on for ten to fifteen minutes at a time.
