The Magician's WorkshopEscapism GamesEscape roomIRLWas told this was a game with no locks, but it had two locks. At least 75% of the tech didn’t work properly. One puzzle was just wrong, I even helped them change the combination afterward so it would be right. Screws, nails, and exposed wiring just sticking out everywhere. Scraped my arm on some screws sticking out of a door that you can’t see because it’s dark. Apparently two things were “red herrings”. I personally hate red herrings, but they more seemed like something electronic that was supposed to work, but didn’t, so they left it in there and called it a red herring. Great potential in the story and game, just very poorly executed.

Greta's Diner - CLOSEDEscape Room Virginia PeninsulaEscape roomIRLVery cute little room! Great for beginners. Everything made sense and this room had plenty of things for my kids to help with and solve. We got in the winners’ circle AND broke the current record with a time of 21:57!
Magician's WorkshopEscape Room HerndonEscape roomIRLSome really amazing surprises in this room! A few GM triggers a little slow (especially at the start 😅), but some very unique puzzles and mechanics. Theme is great.

The ChosenCurtain Calls XscapeEscape roomIRL9.8/10 This game was AMAZING! Really well done puzzles. We missed some obvious things, but everything made sense. It definitely felt like an adventure. I’m glad we had some extra time to soak in the atmosphere. Nothing particularly scary, just creepy and full of gore. I love everything this company is doing.
Legend of the YetiThe Escape Game - DowntownEscape roomIRL9.9/10 Wow! What an amazing game. They had 2 mechanics I had never seen before. All the locks felt logistical. Nothing in the room felt out of theme. Super immersive. Temperature even matched the theme. I kinda wish I could live in this room. Completed with 0 hints.
The Graveyard ShiftEscape Room Virginia PeninsulaEscape roomIRLLots of fun! My kids don’t like scary things, but love Halloween. They loved this game and they didn’t get scared at all! Fun seasonal game!

High Noon Saloon - COMING SOONEscape Room Virginia BeachEscape roomIRL9.2/10 This is my favorite groom from this company so far. While no particular puzzle was mind-bending, everything in the room just fit so well together. We didn’t have to use a hint until 90% through the game and it was just something obvious we missed. It’s rare everything make this much sense. Really pleased and the theming was great.
MOPOP - The HeistRoom Escape WilliamsburgEscape roomIRLDiscloser: VGC participated in building puzzles and props for this game. This game was part of a playtest. 9.3/10 This game was incredibly fun. As is the MO with REW, this game has mechanics that I have not seen at other escape rooms before. The pop culture references were plentiful and amazing. I love the mechanic of your choices, both at the beginning and middle of the game. Our group had an incredible time.
Shadow Of CthulhuEscape Room RVAEscape roomIRL8.5/10 Decent game with a great ending (though a few more effects could make it AMAZING). The puzzles were a little odd and some stuff didn’t work. Quite a few manual triggers were were waiting on after solving things. One of the puzzle just didn’t make sense. We often found ourselves going “what did we do to solve that?”.
Escape The Hydeout: The Mystery Of Henry JekyllMission Escape GamesEscape roomIRL9.3/10 Very fun room. It was just the right amount of scary for my wife. The game did rely too heavily on one type of puzzle over and over again, but a fun room nonetheless.
Nightmare MansionEscape Nightmare MansionEscape roomIRL9.9/10 Well that was the most terrifying escape room I’ve ever done! To date, my top 5 of many escape rooms includes scary ones and this took the number 3 spot out of 87. It will be hard for another game to dislodge it. Part of my group was incapacitated with fear for a good portion of the game, but they powered through. Special effects were off the chain. Definitely the scariest game I’ve played. This was a great use of a haunted house when it’s not running. I could have done with like 25% satanic stuff, but still a very fun experience. Bring your brown pants.
Escape the 80s - CLOSEDEscapism GamesEscape roomIRL9.4/10 I was throughly impressed with this room. Not the fanciest set design but MAN where those puzzles spot on. Just an amazing amount of creativity. I will probably play this again because it was that fun.
Houdini HeistEscape2Win ClevelandEscape roomIRL7.8/10 Very good mix of brain puzzles and skill puzzles. Some of the stuff was very finicky and we solved a few things before we were supposed to or things opened before they were supposed to. A good use of the space.
The Con ArtistEscape Room Virginia BeachEscape roomIRL8.0/10 Very Gen 1 room, but still fun! Puzzles made sense. A few of the locks were left unlocked, but we locked them and solved the puzzles correctly. Some neat trains of thought. Would have like a little more creativity around the art itself.
