Cinema 7Will To Escape - OrlandoEscape roomIRLCinema 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!
At The Hop Ice Cream ShoppeDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLA sweet puzzle fest is best served chilled! An absolutely adorable little room. Short and sweet. This is a room for puzzle lovers through and through. Great use of the smaller space, fun changes in temperature, and absolutely overflowing with content. Not the grandest game on our Orlando trip, but top notch puzzle flow.
Captain Spoopy Bones and the Magnificent Quest For Some Other Pirate's Treasure!Doldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWhat 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!
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLCrazy 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.

Servants of SleightThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRLServants of Sleight was a real puzzle fest! A great intro and smooth gameplay. A game that gets all the details right. Top tier transitions and subtlety. This game had us believing in magic and performing it ourselves 🪄 Quite a few memorable moments, and quite a few more memorable puzzles. Set design was well done without being over the top, and the transitions into larger spaces were handled gracefully. Definitely a puzzle first game that still holds up today. Not my favorite at this location, but absolutely worth the play. James was a great GM!
Pins & Needles Tattoo ParlorThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRLWe'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!
Cornstalkers: Lost in the MaizeThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLRare does a game make me pause and just take it all in. Be it a perfect puzzle, aha moment, scenery or set transition. This game has multitudes. Sets were interactive and beautiful. Take some time to really soak it all in - TEV really poured over the tiniest detail and it shows! Listen to the custom music and have a great time at the fair. Enjoy story beats and scares so masterfully crafted. We had just the best time in here, and a certain moment I will cherish for a long while afterwards. Are you into puzzles, set, story, scares? It doesn’t matter, this game truly has it all. A masterclass on what to get right for escape rooms. Keilee was our GM, and she did a fantastic job!
Bros for Life: Fraternity HeistThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLBro! What a great game! Can’t believe we made it into the frat bro! Beautifully well done room. The puzzles were plentiful and difficult, but never unfair. Great use of space, mix of puzzle modalities and a fun set. Less actor interaction than other games, but still a rocking time, bro! I found the puzzles in here more difficult than others, but that just might be me. Great attention to details and high level of immersion. Definitely don’t miss out bro! Yeah!
