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
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 ScoreEscapismEscape roomIRLWhen I heard this was a points based game & not an escape room, I was disappointed. I am happy to say I was proven wrong! This room is actually an escape room on steroids! There is every type of puzzle imaginable all in 1 place. There is something for everyone's strengths. There are so many puzzles that it's easy to split up to divide & conquer, but then come back to work on puzzles together. While it's a little frustrating walking away from unsolved puzzles, that's part of the game & it was so much fun!

Legends of the Lost TempleEscape from RealityEscape roomIRLWithout giving anything away, this room starts in a fun & unique way before you even enter the room. "Fun & unique" continued throughout our experience of both rooms at this site. The set design is beautiful and immersive. The puzzles are fun. There are few actual locks, mostly tech which is fun. We only had an issue with 1 thing, where it was unclear what to use. The owner immediately brainstormed with us after the game on ways to cue it better, so I'm sure that puzzle will run more smoothly in the future. Speaking of the owner, she was absolutely wonderful & made our visit memorable. She bubbled over with excitement about escape rooms & that's how it should be. You can tell that love & excitement went into building both of their current games. We got a sneak peek at the 3rd room they are building & I have no doubt that one will be just as good
The Christmas Countdown: Checked TwiceEscape from RealityEscape roomIRLThis game was so fun! The set design was immersive & you can't really go wrong with a good Christmas game! Puzzles were well thought out & flowed well. It might be on the easier side for enthusiasts but don't skip it just because of that. The GM/Owner was clearly passionate about escape rooms & took pride in her work. Her philosophy is to get people off their screens (I love that!) so there isn't even a screen with a timer in this room (your time is announced verbally) We even got background on set pieces & a sneak peek at their new room being built! I would not hesitate to recommend this room/company
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
The TombEscapismEscape roomIRLSure, everyone has a "tomb" room, but what makes this room stand out from the rest is that it has no physical locks. Not a single one! When you're used to numbers & letters & keys, this can take a little time to get used to! It does take some strong attention to detail, which is made more challenging by the low level of light in the room. A creative room with some unique puzzles.
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
Do Not DisturbEscapismEscape roomIRLThe fun starts before you even enter the room! Once you're in - well, I love a good spooky room! There were plenty of puzzles for the 4 of us to do both together & separately. There was a fun communication system. I had only 2 minor "cons." 1) A puzzle in the final room - there's really only space for 2 people, leaving the other people standing around 2) The ending didn't quite resolve. It didn't affect gameplay at all. Just one of those things that you realize after Overall this was a really fun room. Celina was an amazing GM - from the time we walked in the lobby to setting the scene to picture time.
