4 Dreams Escape Game - Denver

Escape room
IRL

This might have been the most frustrating room ive ever done. Lots of cool tech but the clues for all the puzzles were vague, some required a lot of abstract thinking or had multiple solutions but only one worked, one required fumbling for something you couldn't see. Also the clues system is terrible. The GM has to physically enter the room when you ask for a clue.

The room was really fun and overall well done. The start was very exciting and set the stage well. There was a few puzzles that were a little confusing for us but overall we had a good time. Looking forward to going back to try their other rooms

Not a super difficult room if you have experience but the flow of the room and the puzzles were still fun. I'd keep the number of players to less than 4 given how much there was to do.

This room was a treat! It started out pretty challenging without the most obvious way to start but once the room starts going, it's got so many surprises and everything makes sense with a little bit of thought. Definitely a more challenging room so I don't recommend it for those new to Escape Rooms.

The room was frustrating with key items hidden WAY too hard to find and obscure solutions to some puzzles. When a group of 6 experienced players need 3 clues for a single puzzle and just start asking for the solution, you have a bad puzzle.

The room has a few interesting elements but is a little on the easier side for an experience group. The ending was a little weird but overall the room was fine. I liked the space. The room is very linear so I'd say 3-4 people is the proper number.

This room is a puzzle solvers paradise. There is A LOT going on. We were able to escape with just 2 of us but it was hard and we only had 8 minutes left on the clock. There was only one part that made us go "how were we supposed to <blank>?" But overall the room was fun and challenging.

The Wreck Room Escape Game

This is the perfect kind of challenging room: difficult but fair. Every puzzle that stumped us for a while, once we got it, made us go "Oooohhh". I'd highly recommend going with 4ish people that have experience with escape rooms. This is not a good room for first timers as there is a lot going on.

Amazing Theming and set design. Interesting puzzles that were challenging but made sense. I did this room with 3 seasoned escape room players and it felt right.

The room was overall fine. It had good theming but some of the puzzles solutions didn't trigger properly or required very specific positioning. One element just straight up locked us out because we took too long reading the instructions. And the ending was very anticlimactic.

The theming was fine but the room has several things that make it a frustrating experience: A puzzle with very vague instructions and very finicky tech that you can fail without knowing why. And it's super annoying Weird Lighting effects that can cause headaches and no way to turn them off Doors triggering with no audio clue that it happened. The GM had to keep telling us to "check the other room" after we solved a puzzle. The most anticlimactic final puzzle ever.

This is a great room for people who are beginners. The puzzles flow really well and everything was very logical. I wouldn't do this room with more than 4 people though.

As a lover of Rock Bands, this room gets two 🤘 way up! So many little things just put a smile on my face including some of the references to various bands. Not the hardest room but it put me in a good mood which is really all I want out of an escape room!

Nut House Escape Rooms

Escape room

Probably the most fun room at Nuthouse but also the most confusing. The start of the room is pretty brutal but it eventually starts to flow and had a pretty fun ending. There is one element that if you fail, you have to wait for the GM to reset. It was annoying to fail this multiple times and have to wait for the GM to let us start again. There has to be a better way to do this.

The room was quite challenging but in a fun way. When I felt lost, it was because we had missed something. There's some really interesting puzzles that I haven't seen before that totally fit the Christmas spirit. I'd highly recommend going in with minimum of 3-4 people because there is a lot to do.

This is, by definition, a good room. The only problem is the other rooms at this location are so kind blowing that a "good room" ends up disappointing. I'd recommend doing this room first at this location.

This is easily the best room at this location. The puzzles are challenging but make sense, work properly, and have a good flow to them. It's a challenging room because the puzzles are hard but fair. This location does have a theme of "hide a ton of things everywhere" which gets annoying when you miss the one thing you need that was in a really obscure location but that's my only negative on this room.

This room had some really cool moments, some really cool puzzles and some super awesome tech. What holds it back? Several of the puzzles had really bad feedback that we were doing the right thing but not doing it for long enough. If a task requires doing something multiple times in a row, some form of immediate feedback that were doing the right thing would be appreciated.

Fort Collins Escape Room

In my 80+ rooms I've done, this was the most frustrating and is frankly the worst I've ever done. It was a collection of everything I hate to seem in an escape room. Puzzles with convoluted solutions? Check. Poorly operating tech? Check. Audio puzzles in a loud room? Check. Slow videos to give critical information? Check. I've never just given up in an escape room before and I almost did today. This is a very hard room. Not because the puzzles are hard, but because stuff is either hidden in non obvious ways or just doesn't make sense.
