Soul Survivor │ prev. Mirror MansionConTRAPtions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThere were some fun mechanics and set pieces in the room and the game master was great, but I would not recommend this room. There was a closet area that looked under construction? With neon tape and a broken door? Some of the mechanics didn't work right and and the story telling is confusing overall, leading to a confusing ending. One particular puzzle felt completely lacking in logic, simply just a try something and see, which sometimes is fine, but in this case just added to the frustration when coupled with the hit or miss mechanics. It just felt a little lacking overall.
The Trailer Park TwisterClueology RoomsEscape roomIRLSuch a fun room. The themeing was excellent and so immersive, the puzzles were so unique and were clear and logical. Our group of three finished quickly, but have a lot of rooms under our belt. For newer escapers I would agree with the recommendation of at least four. There are some tight areas, but the room size and non-linear nature could be intimidating for less experienced groups. Totally recommend for any group though because it is just plain fun! And they have a prize wheel which is a fun little touch!
The Hollywood Mystery: A Room NoirConundrum Escape Rooms - ArvadaEscape roomIRLWhat an awesome little room. There are so many cute and clever gags and clues. Definitely a great beginner room! I cannot recommend the rooms and Conundrum more!! Everything is themed and the puzzles make logical sense and are just plain fun. Great all around!!
Back to the DinerGolden Puzzle RoomEscape roomIRLSuch a cute room! My group has done a lot of escape rooms, and there were a couple puzzles that were new and exciting even for us, as well as a ton of classic escape room puzzles. Everything felt cohesive and on theme and immersive. The game master was great too. The only complaint is the hourglass they give seems to not be very accurate, so I wish there was a different time keeping system. Definitely on the harder side so best for more experienced teams.
Dragon RealmMile High Escape OpsEscape roomIRLThis is an award winning room for a reason! Every detail is so well thought out and every puzzle while challenging, was completely logical. Every part of the room helped with the immersion. The gameplay is so unique and it's truly a stellar room. The game master (and co-owner) was also so sweet and has a clear love of escape rooms which is palpable in their offerings. 100% cannot recommend enough!
Ten Days in a MadhouseClueClock EscapeEscape roomIRLFun non-linear room! Starting out with the blindfold and straightjackets is such a cool idea. There was one part that didn't make a ton of sense, but all of the other puzzles were great and fit nicely with the theme. Some of the puzzles were cool and felt fresh so that was awesome. And our Game Master was great! Definitely for more experienced groups, and the room is a little small so I wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than 5ish.
Mystical ManorThemescape Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSuper cool room! There were quite a few do not touch stickers which personally takes away from some of the immersion, but overall the puzzles and gags were fun. There was one thing that happens that has a delayed reaction time so noticing that something has changed is tricky for it, but a solid room. The game masters were also super nice!
The Rocky Mountain ZephyrGolden Puzzle RoomEscape roomIRLNothing super special about this room, BUT it was a great classic escape room. Logical puzzles and fun story, it was simple and still a good all around room. Would recommend for beginners and seasoned pros alike!
The ReelPuzzle Effect - DenverEscape roomIRLOverall the atmosphere of the game was wonderful. It was super immersion and the puzzles fit in universe. There weren't very many puzzles, but they all made sense when you thought about them. Not a beginner room, but not insanely difficult. The one thing that took away from the experience was unfortunately the game masters. We got two hints, one at the beginning that wasn't helpful, but it was timely. The second hint was near the end and we spent 1 full minute trying to get it. Then once we escaped we waited for a while before someone finally came to get us. Everyone has off days, but they were monotone in "congratulating" us and honestly sucked the energy out of the room. Overall a solid room, but there are definitely some kinks that still need worked.
ContaminationMile High Escape OpsEscape roomIRLOh my goodness this was so much fun! Such cool and unique technology. From the room background to the ending there was a clear story that was super well done. There were some moments that felt a little drawn out, but I will say that is a nitpicky complaint. I am a self-admitted wimp around scares, so if you are too be prepared. This room is definitely not for the faint of heart. The puzzles made sense, but were still tricky, I would recommend to newer escapers only if they're looking to challenge themselves.
