The StorykeeperLocurioEscape roomIRLTruly exceptional room, incredibly immersive (literally entering the story!) and incredibly fun. Awesome, high-tech effects, innovative puzzles (though some border on a little too challenging without the use of their provided iPad/hint system) and a fantastic set. Note that there is a live actor. Worth the high price. By far the best escape room I’ve done in Seattle.
The Salem Witch HuntBack In Time Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSolid room with a fun storyline and satisfying puzzles! Great combination of old-timey, physical props and high-tech effects. Pure was an awesome host!
Escape from Seattle - The World's Fair AffairPuzzle BreakEscape roomIRLSuper fun, 1st generation room with some surprising high-tech, lighting effects! Definitely a hard room for 2 people with some puzzles where nudges are needed, but overall very well done.
Mission BunkerEscape Room Seattle by Fox In A BoxEscape roomIRLWhile the decor was impressive and the set quite immersive, the game play was not very fun and left my group feeling frustrated and stuck much more often than satisfied and successful. Faded blacklight paint, tiny sharpie notes, and little keys and wires hidden in frustrating places made some of the puzzles simply impossible to complete under the time constraints (without hints). And what was worse, our game master wasn’t responsive to our requests for help. Sometimes we had to wait several minutes after asking to receive a response. I hate to give a bad review because I love escape rooms so much and appreciate the time and work that goes into creating them. But this room lacked the thrill of the other rooms at this location, and I didn’t feel like the customer service was top-notch. Fortunately their other games are quite good!
Project Minotaur - CLOSEDQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLProject Minotaur is truly a different breed! It’s by far the most immersive, intense escape room experience I have ever done. My family had so much fun despite the high stakes and terrifying components. Our game masters Robbie and Zach did such an amazing job!! Note that they can touch, grab, chase, blindfold you, etc. and there are parts that require crawling, small spaces, darkness, and the like. I thought it was all part of the fun! But it can be quite intense. I’ll also note that the game is centered more around the horror experience than around the puzzles, but some of the puzzles (especially in the beginning) are quite cool and novel! Overall, I would highly recommend this room as an awesome horror escape room—and if that’s your thing, you’ll love it.
S.A.S.H.A: Home Of The FutureWild Goose Escapes - FullertonEscape roomIRLThe concept of a smart home turning against its new occupants was awesome and the execution was perfect. All of the puzzles were innovative, fun, logical. My team and I didn’t need any hints but appreciated the good amount of challenge and great blend of high-tech and physical/lock and key type tasks. We really loved the non-linear aspect that allowed us to split up and work on different things at the same time! Great room overall.
Puppeteer's WorkshopPuzzle BreakEscape roomIRLThis is my favorite escape room I’ve done in Seattle!! The puzzles were challenging yet logical and satisfying. The set design and decor/atmosphere were great. I did not see a lot of the twists and turns coming. I freaking loved the personal touch. Highly recommend.
The ExperimentCognition EscapesEscape roomIRLAwesome, immersive experience with real science equipment and experiments. I can tell a lot of love went into this room, and I admired the logical flow of the puzzles and authentic, creative design of the set. Scotty was a super helpful and involved game master who explained some Easter eggs and a bit of the history of the room, which we appreciated. Highly recommend this company. Lobby puzzles are always a plus!
The Vanishing ActLocurioEscape roomIRLThis is definitely Seattle’s best escape room! While it is pricey and parking/finding the location can be a bit difficult, it’s all worth it. The tricks and twists in this room are awesome. Set design, immersion, puzzles, and storyline A+. I would not recommend it with only 2 people, though! Some puzzles require teamwork with more players. Bring a group and have a blast.
