A different type of experience! Half walking tour/scavenger hunt and half puzzles. Information you gain in the first half is used in the second part for puzzling. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but had a lovely time! It was also close to raining that day, luckily the weather held out for us. Definitely play if you’re looking for something different. The owner Ryan was a great host and a joy to talk to. Gameplay was surprisingly well polished and flowed well.

Will To Escape - Orlando

Cinema 7 was my favorite room at Will To Escape. An impressive set in a seemingly smaller space that opens beautifully. Real vintage props and authentic set pieces. Lots of varied puzzle modalities and great use of space. A must play imo if you’re visiting Orlando. The story was clear and progressed at the right speed. Game flowed from one puzzle to the next with time and hit all the beats perfectly. Very well done, I’m excited to see what Will To Escape does next!

Crazy Train is a zany misadventure through a cartoon train track! What starts as a crazy premise delivers a strong 1-2 punch. Well designed and polished gameplay and wondrously wacky puzzles that flowed well and encouraged teamwork. Crazy Train gave us reason to revisit set pieces and opened up cars beautifully. A boss battle at the end was the true test of teamwork. We played with 4, and 2-4 would work well. Not for everybody, and definitely a nonstandard room. Play this for something different, if you have a smaller group and for the boss battle.

What started off as a standard pirate game evolved the format and expanded in a beautiful way. Highly recommend. Split start, multilinear and one very good group puzzle. Gave us reason to explore and come back together. Puzzles were multilayered and dimensional. Set and props were quite worn down in places, but the puzzle flow is top notch. A must, if you’re visiting Doldricks. Ahoy!

Puppet Heist is a game that reached for the stars but fell far short. A game of peaks and potholes. The experience felt sparsely decorated. It was hard to determine what to do at times, and I felt we lacked direction. Puzzles felt frustrating, even if we knew how to solve them. That’s not to say it was a bad game, I quite enjoyed the theatrics and voice lines. The through line of puppetry was well done, and a fun lobby experience is definitely a plus! The Bureau is divisive, and i can see why. With so much to play in Orlando, I’d recommend skipping out on The Bureau.

We're Skinz's new apprentices! Pins & Needles was beautifully done. Josh and Tay crafted an excellent game here. Decor was tasteful and immersive, the set was great to experience, and the puzzles gave us reason to explore what we previously brushed over. The level of detail had me feeling quite immersed, and it’s clear the owners cared about the overall experience for each guest. A joy to experience and a must play if you visit Florida. Silver did a great job as our GM!
