The Pentex ConspiracyMass EscapeEscape roomIRLLoved this game! Staff do a great job being in character throughout which was fun. There was a surprise right away (I'm not giving it away!) that I did not see coming! The puzzles were fun & challenging. 5 bonus puzzles added to the fun.
The Mole of The MountainUpside Down Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis room starts low light but is well lit once the lights are activated. The puzzles are unique and put a new "spin" on things. There are lots of surprises- every time you think you've got it, something else opens up! The ending to the story was fun & we never saw it coming! You can tell that so much work went in to the mechanics and technology behind everything in this room. As always, the customer service at Upside Down is top notch & you can tell they love what they do Side note: If you look really closely you'll find nods to their retired rooms. Kind of fun little Easter Eggs
Colby's Curious CookoffColby's Curious Cookoff - OnlineEscape roomVirtual This is an online puzzle game that looks like it came out during the Pandemic but is still very much active. Easily became an obsession for 1.5 - 2 weeks. Lots of puzzles of various types and difficulty levels. Some very fun ones. The best part (imo) was the hint system. You send a message telling them the puzzle and what you tried and a LIVE PERSON sends you a hint within 24 hours!!! This game was clearly a labor of love

Imaginasium of IntrigueRI Riddle RoomEscape roomIRLI'm not a video game player so alot of the references probably went over my head, but this was a fun room anyway. Our experienced group of 5 finished this quickly but .... that left us plenty of time to go back & solve the bonus puzzles! I actually think the bonus puzzles were more challenging than the main puzzles. I loved that we could split up to work on puzzles separately. 1 puzzle was not reset but the gm fixed it & gave us a few extra minutes on the clock I know the Bonus Puzzles have gotten mixed reviews, but they get a 👍 from me. I think they give the room a wider appeal where beginners can do the room but there is an added challenge for more experienced enthusiasts
Space PiratesMystery Soup Escape Rooms [prev. Lock & Clue Escape Rooms]Escape roomIRLThe set on this game was amazing & super Immersive. Puzzles were more tech than lock & key, which was cool though 1 was kind of difficult to navigate. Puzzles were fun & challenging - sometimes we over-thought them & made them more difficult than necessary! There were puzzles that made use of everyone's different styles/talents. The interactive ending was fun
The IncidentKey To EscapeEscape roomIRLThis place lets you choose difficulty levels so I will preface this by saying we chose the 60 minute "Challenging" version even though we only had 3 players (they have minimum 4) and they tried to recommend against it. For the most part this was a fun room but unfortunately what stood out was 1 big negative part. As someone else said, there is 1 puzzle that stands out as being poorly designed. The clues for it were vague at best, misleading at worst. But what made it even worse was that the GM left us hanging on that puzzle for a good 10-20 minutes. Don't get me wrong, I prefer it when a GM doesn't jump in & let's you work it out on your own. But this went on WAY too long. And when we did ask for clues (I think we asked for 3 on that same puzzle!) the clues remained vague & not really helpful. We technically did not finish the room because of this. To their credit, they did give us extra time at the end to let us finish. A notable positive was that this room had a lock I have never seen before. It was a combination of directional, number, &/or letter. So that was cool Overall it was a fun room but they should probably just replace that 1 puzzle
TimeMissionR1Escape roomIRLNot an escape room. Multiple rooms with various challenges. We went twice - 6/27/21 & 1/16/23. It was fun... BUT.... definitely had the potential to be better. Both times multiple rooms were down for maintenance or were malfunctioning. Staff were all teenagers who didn't explain the rules & weren't particularly helpful. The 1st time we went, the 2 employees were running through the halls & crashed into my daughter causing her to hit her head. I sought out the manager & he did apologize & gave us passes to return
DeclassifiedRed Door Escape Room - FoxboroEscape roomIRLThis was a fun room with some different puzzles. GM was great even though she laughed at us for overthinking (we totally deserved it!) Of the 4 rooms I've done at this location, I think this one is the best
House in the WoodsKey To EscapeEscape roomIRLThis was a fun room and super cute. This place lets you choose difficulty levels which is nice. The highest setting for this room is "Standard" Even though this room is relatively basic, there are definitely some red herrings in there to trip you up! There is 1 clue somewhere you normally wouldn't touch. There is also a small raised area between the rooms that we tripped over repeatedly. I didn't really see a reason for it to be there and they may want to look into alternatives for liability sake. All in all, fun room that I would recommend.
