Back to the Future: OutatimeUniversal Studios OrlandoEscape roomIRLTerrible, what a joke! Please please please know this is not an escape room but an -experience-. Universal built these experiences as a bunch of rooms meaning they can have multiple parties playing at once. An incredibly smart idea on paper, but not in reality. You are rushed through rooms. While you’re in the middle of a puzzle an automated voice tells you they’ve solved it and you move on to the next room, as otherwise you will be holding up the next party. Extremely demotivating and just annoying. The music and ambient sounds are way too loud and distract from the recordings needed to solve the puzzles. It’s expensive and not worth it. It feels like Universal wanted to jump on the brand wagon but failed miserably. Stay away as you will leave frustrated. We had high expectations but those were not met in the slightest.
Puppet Heist: The Hand Of LifeThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLGreat use of technology but not really an escape room that most of us are used too. Please think twice before booking. A lot of puzzles involved putting a puppet stuffed animal somewhere, very weird. You have to like the theme in order to enjoy the room. Some puzzles just didn’t make sense. There was no clear connection between several puzzles.
Dr. BraingoodThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLThis room was nice, some unusual puzzles but not too challenging. This is a great room for beginners and would give you a great idea of what an escape room is all about, however, I would not recommend this room to experienced escapers. It just isn’t challenging enough.
The Mission - CLOSEDExit Escape Room MiamiEscape roomIRLGood escape room. Great flow, everyone got to enjoy all the puzzles. Loved the unique elements of this room. The hosts were friendly and were able to explain anything that was unclear. I suggest playing the game ‘dead silent’ if you are experienced escapers. They will not give you any hints that way.
The Upside Of DownThe Escape SofloEscape roomIRLNot your traditional escape room. This is unlike anything you have done before. I highly recommend watching the series as a lot of things just do not make sense if you haven’t watched it. I found puzzels far fetched and a lot of them required specific knowledge. The host runs the place by himself and I felt like we didn’t get the help we needed. I recommend this room to people that can go in without expectations and don’t compare it to other ‘traditional’ escape rooms.
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - Opry MillsEscape roomIRLGreat room. The theming was done very well, an exciting take on the classic FBI/CIA themed rooms. Great use of technology and exciting puzzles. Would definitely recommend especially for those trying out escape rooms for the first time.
Cryptic CayNexus Escape RoomEscape roomIRLExcellent example of what an escape room should be. Enthusiastic owner that mentioned he creates a lot of the elements himself. Great use of technology and good theming of the room. There are puzzles in there that will even surprise those who play escape rooms often. This is a great room, I definitely recommend!
Mayan TempleRed Button EscapeEscape roomIRLGood room which should be the standard for other USA rooms. The storyline was not incorporated well. Puzzles were common in other rooms but still fun. There was a great flow. There is a ‘bonus’ element in the room which was not explained to is prior to starting. This confused us as we ended up not needing it to finish the game. Overall: great room far better than the average USA one!
Kamer 237 [Room 237]Hotel Veloria [prev. Kamer 237]Escape roomIRLAmazing! My favorite escape room to date. I urge everybody to experience Kamer 237. Especially if you are used to American style escape rooms. This room will keep on surprising you.
Judgment DayMy Escape ClubEscape roomIRLYES! I loved this room. Although the puzzles are pretty straightforward the storyline makes sense and is a lot of fun. There are definitely elements that you will not find in other escape rooms, I won’t spoil it 😝. I loved the use of technology in this room. Would definitely recommend!
The Honeymoon HotelDarkPark ZoetermeerEscape roomIRLExtraordinary. Amazing theming, a ‘wow’ factor and a great flow are just some aspects of this room. I would play again here in a heartbeat!
Hillbilly Holiday - CLOSEDKingdom Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis was a fun and easy to get through escape room. The theming is ahead of your standard USA escape room. Keep in mind that the spaces itself are relatively small. I liked the use of technology.
The HeistThe Escape Game - Las Vegas Forum ShopsEscape roomIRLFun but no ‘wow’ factor. I would recommend this room to beginners and more advanced players that have -only- played in the United States. The theming sure is nice, but not comparable to European standards. A great activity that won’t create a lasting memory.
Jason's Curse - CLOSEDOuterGround Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLFabulous. Amazing theming and storyline. This room kept on surprising me. Great staff that are truly passionate about escape rooms.
Mutant XThink Escape Games - Fort LauderdaleEscape roomIRLDisappointing to say the least. Puzzles are extremely difficult and not logically constructed. Although the storyline is pretty cool, you do not feel like you are part of the story in any way. The staff was a disappointment: they had no passion for the game whatsoever. Numerous times we tried to contact them while in the room without response. Would not recommend.
Bloody Dentist 2.0Breakout Room Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe storyline is fun but the puzzles are not. I had a good time but I wouldn’t come back for this room.
The President's BunkerThe Great Escape Room - MiamiEscape roomIRLHARD PASS, AVOID! By far the worse room we’ve played. The room sucks! Cheap decor, no immersion whatsoever. Your ability to progress depends on knowledge of the United States, which is beyond basic stuff. This is not what an escape should be. Also, there was a staff member sitting in the room throughout the game, awkward. A true shame to other (great) escape rooms out there.
The Flying DutchmanEscape World AmsterdamEscape roomIRLWould not go back here. This is a pre-manufactured escape room concept. A weak storyline and boring puzzles. Staff was friendly.
Nuclear BunkerFox in a Box MiamiEscape roomIRLGreat for American standards, alright for European standards. Theming is superior compared to other -American- rooms. The staff are great and are passionate about the job. Love the ability to charge your phone in the safe. Can recommend.
The LaboratoryMama BazookaEscape roomIRLLovely room, their first one but still amazing. Sure it is something simple compared to other Dutch rooms but still a ton of fun. It was our first ‘horror’ themed room and they sure delivered on the scary factor. I especially liked how the staff showed us a video of our own gameplay afterwards and their enthusiasm overall. Will be back for their other rooms.
