The DreamscapeThe Lodge of Lazarus CroweEscape roomIRLThis room was super fun and unique! Most of these puzzles I have never experienced in over 80 escape rooms. Vibes were great, puzzles were challenging, room was accessible, and there’s not a single lock in sight. I will be back to play every room this location has to offer. Really wonderful place.
King Tut's TombUnraveled Escape RoomEscape roomIRLNote: This is a very physically active room that required ducking, crawling, and a ladder. At least one person will need to do all three. It is also dark and navigated with flashlights. Review: I had a really fun time in this room! It really required us to work our brains though we had a journal to guide us so we didn’t get too off track. I was very impressed with the big reveal near the end.
Who Stole Mona?Escapology - Verona WIEscape roomIRLVery typical escapology experience in that the setting is always great, premise is fun, puzzles are exciting but “clues” are never clues, it’s just the GM telling you the answer instead of nudging in the right direction. There was no clarity on the final puzzle where we were supposed to stand so it didn’t really work with the “wow” factor that would have made it feel like a big finish.
The Enchanted Potion RoomElusive Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLVisited this escape room for their birthday promotion and had a nice time. I would consider this a pretty standard room, no super wow factor. Met the owner who was lovely and helpful.
The Founder's SecretThe Lodge of Lazarus CroweEscape roomIRLReally fantastic location! Outstanding atmosphere and loved that we had to solve puzzles as a warm up to even find our room. Very creative. Puzzles literally changed the environment for everyone in the building! Loved it.
Blackwater Harbor: Echoes of the DeepEscape Room NoviEscape roomIRLWe had a mix of experienced and new players and all had a great time! Theme was great, jump scares were fun (and not too scary!), and vibes were spooky.
The Crazy Cat LadyElusive Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe are an experienced escape room couple and really enjoyed this room. Decor was very home grown but realistic and the puzzles were fun and unique. An old school escape room experience that was silly and fun.
The Official SAW EscapeSaw Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe vibes were IMMACULATE. Best set work I have ever seen and so many rooms with such incredible detail. However, you didn’t get to try the puzzles until you solved them and you didn’t get any hints for a majority of it. The hints you did get you really couldn’t hear over the loud sound effects which were cool for the vibes but made it hard to know what’s up. If you didn’t solve the puzzle they just opened the door for you and moved you along to the next room to get the next group in/make sure you get to see everything. Really wasn’t sure what to leave for the review because it was gorgeous and horrifying but also didn’t feel like an escape room experience.
The DepthsThe Escape Game - GaslampEscape roomIRLVery fun game host, mix of high tech and classic locks, immersive design.
