Servants of SleightThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRLThis is a must play room. Don't ask questions, just go play!
Pins & Needles Tattoo ParlorThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRLThanks to Ben and Jamie, we weren't disappointed. Go visit Exit Games. You will not be disappointed!
Le Jour du Jugement [Judgement Day]EliviascapeEscape roomIRLThis room had unique puzzles and a clear storyline. The actor put forth maximum effort. We enjoyed the grand finale. I liked this room a bit more than Abstraction.
Cornstalkers: Lost in the MaizeThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLBeautifully executed and very fun to play. This room is easily in my top five rooms in the US. Some puzzles are fun, some challenging, and others a combination. The icing on the cake is that there were physical locks...one of the most satisfying things in a room! Our GM was perfect- energetic, efficient and kind enough to give us a peak behind the scenes afterwards.
La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLWe heard great things about this experience, so we saved it for our 500th room, and it did not disappoint! The puzzles were fun, the story was engaging, and the set was stunning. Go play this room! The only reason it's not a TERPECA winner yet is because it's too new. I guarantee it will be on the 2023 list.
Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLThis is SUCH a great room! Since we played, I've thought about how clever the puzzles are on multiple occasions. There's not much to say that hasn't been said, but we did escape with two. It's expensive to play this way, but it's doable for experienced players.
Quest For The Temple of LightThe Keepers of BalanceEscape roomIRLThe room was impressive and easily the best in the Charlotte area, but we wanted more. It's an easy room, especially for four experienced players.
The Cairo ConnectionEleventh Hour EnigmaEscape roomIRLI thought this room was super clever! There were puzzles I haven't seen before, which is impressive after more than 600 games. The immersion was excellent as well.
RobotopiaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLMy husband and I played this alone because we weren't able to find additional players. There were certainly some cool aspects of the room. The props are thematic, the set is impressive, and the puzzles (for the most part) are logical. My biggest complaint is the staff, and I think it's really disappointing that this huge escape room company doesn't prioritize training their staff to ensure that guest experiences are top notch. Three things that happened that stand out: 1) The first hint I asked for, the GM asked me what puzzle we were on. (BAD sign!) 2) There's a point in the experience when the staff needs to be in the room (trying not to give spoilers), and they were particularly noisy. 3) At the end, we had questions about the logic behind certain parts of the room, and the GM couldn't answer our questions. I think it's possible she's never played the room which is odd because I don't think we've ever known an employee that hasn't played the room before becoming a GM. There were a couple of other things that I didn't enjoy. The room was apparently longer at one point, but when they shortened the game, they left remnants of the old puzzles. This confused us on a couple of occasions. Also, I was REALLY shocked that the room had a walkie talkie for hints. This is one of our least favorite types of hint systems, and since the set is so sophisticated, I would expect that they would incorporate a more convenient hint system into the room. For the price we paid, I expected perfection, but they didn't deliver.
Neighborhood WatcherThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis room was very fun, and flowed well. We've done all of the rooms at the Orlando location, and Escape Ventures ensures a top-notch experience every time. Thanks to Cierra and Lawrence for hosting us today!
