The SubwayEscape This FrederickEscape roomIRLThis room was amazing! First of all, this place never disappoints. Their newest subway room is definitely the most immersive room they have and one of my favorite rooms of all time. It has super fun and interesting puzzles, and the right difficulty for everyone. I wish I could say more but this whole room is a surprise. It is must try for any escape room player.
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLI thought this room was great! We solved with two people with 10 minutes to spare but the puzzles and the atmosphere were both very fun. A lot of enthusiasts complain “it’s too easy” “it’s too hard”. It’s a lot of fun, that’s all that matters. Best take on a time travel room I’ve seen so far. Probably my second favorite from TEG after playground.
Arcade Challenge [prev. Retro Replay]The Great Escape Room - Arlington [prev. Escape Room Arlington]Escape roomIRLI actually loved this room. This one is going up there in my top escape rooms of all time. As a nerd and escape room enthusiast, this room checked all the boxes. The atmosphere was definitely nerdy enough, the puzzles were great and the gameplay flowed well, and it had plenty of fun Easter eggs.
Train RobberyCyber Raccoon Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe room was good. I will say the coolest part of the room was the story. The puzzles were good and just the right amount of difficult for someone who is quite experienced. This room seems geared towards experienced enthusiasts so just keep that in mind. All in all, very fun!
The CarnivalEscape This FrederickEscape roomIRLProbably one of the most unique rooms I have ever done. It was suuuuper fun. I wasn’t super interested in the theme but Escape This did it again! The entire room was a fun time, at no point did I ever feel frustrated. A lot of the puzzles were unique and very manual. You get the fun of both an escape room and playing carnival games all in one!
Servants of SleightThe Escape Ventures - Clearwater [prev. The Exit Games]Escape roomIRLI’ve done a total of 90 rooms at this point (haven’t marked them all on the app), and I always end up coming back to this room as my favorite of all time.
