The Castle of Eternal Suffering has an extremely physical portion of the gameplay. Definitely chat with the company to discuss if this experience may be right for you if you have any questions about the physicality required to fully participate in the game. If you have back problems, I highly recommend that you skip this experience altogether. This room is extremely narrative heavy. The story is quite interesting, and it is relayed quite beautifully through the environment. If youā€™re a ā€˜No Long Talkā€™ sort of player, this may be an area of friction for you. With regards to the horror aspect, I would consider it quite tame. The presence of the live actor was a great addition to add spookiness and a little bit of tension into the space, but it was done in a way where youā€™d have a decent idea of knowing when theyā€™d show up, so you could mentally prepare yourself if necessary. The puzzles were the things I liked least about the experience. They werenā€™t awful, and I definitely enjoyed solving some of them. Itā€™s just that overall, I didnā€™t have a strong connection to them; they didnā€™t scratch the puzzle itch in my brain. This room, however, definitely had one of my favourite transitions Iā€™ve experienced to date. Overall, I had a great time playing Castle of Eternal Suffering, and the staff were lovely and accommodating. Played as a duo šŸ‘©šŸ½ā€šŸ°ā€šŸ‘©šŸ»

WOW! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! IMMERSION šŸ’Æ As soon as you arrive at the facility, to the moment you leave, you are in for an absolute treat. THIS GAME IS SCARY. You have an option to dial down the scariness and play in daylight mode (no actors), which is what I chose to do because I thought my soul was going to leave my body. YOU WILL BE SWEATING* *I played in a group of 2, and the facility is HUGE. There were moments where I was winded, but that didnā€™t take away from the enjoyment. The puzzles were enjoyable, and we didnā€™t find anything overly difficult. If you are in Athens, you should definitely make this a part of your travel itinerary. You wonā€™t be disappointed!

The folks at Daydream Adventures make the most beautiful escape room sets in the city šŸ˜ The storyline in Botanica Greenhouse was so much fun! I loved how they managed to incorporate moments of humour into the experience. Loved the characters! I played as a duo, although I think they had to bypass one puzzle since we didnā€™t have a third set of hands to activate something. Aside from that, everything was manageable to do as a pair.

šŸ§Ÿā€ā™‚ļøThe Mysterious Miseries of Franklin N. Stein is another great room by the folks at Improbable Escapes! šŸ Great set, great props! A lot of intricate detail went into the creation of this room. I loved interacting with the set pieces. This is the kind of room that inspires me to embark on creative endeavours. šŸ§© The puzzles were fun and varied! The signposting was great. It was clear what puzzles needed to be worked on, and how many puzzles you had remaining. The puzzle flow is non linear. šŸ‘Æā€ā™€ļø I played this room as a duo, but this would be a great game for a group of 4, as there is a lot of puzzle content. A particular challenge ate up a good chunk of our time, but the GM gave us 10 extra minutes, so we managed to escape. šŸ‘šŸ½ This is my favourite room at this location, but all the rooms here are great!

This room definitely has some cool moments and interesting physical challenges. I thought the narrative was decent, but I felt that the overarching story wasnā€™t delivered through the gameplay well. After the game there was a video debriefing that showed us how all the puzzles were solved, and what the story arc was. How we solved things was slightly different from what we were shown, so it was interesting to see how different methods of solving brought about the same results!

Playing this room was so refreshing! The space is on the smaller side, but it packs quite the punch in terms of puzzle content. The puzzles were extremely creative and such a joy to solve! Loved the aesthetic. Loved the small details. Loved the storyline. This room proves that you donā€™t need a large space and a massive budget to create experiences that are oodles and oodles of fun! Itā€™s so nice to see escape room creators doing unique and interesting things, and the folks at Lockwood definitely ate with this one!

šŸ¤ šŸ“ Wild West Showdown was an interesting experience. I played in a group of 8, which I would NOT recommend doing since the game is mostly linear and there are some small spaces. The room has a live actor, but I wasnā€™t completely sold on the performance. The costume (or lack thereof), and his energy was not convincing. He was extremely nice though and tried to inject moments of comedy into the experience. This game is interesting in that you are working against each other, but also with each other. I would be curious to know how the player vs. player nature of the game is received by other groups. My group kind of had it in the back of our mind, and didnā€™t really keep track of the scoring system. The GM had to bring our attention back to it in the last 3rd of the game. The last part of the game is where the room truly shined, in my opinion, as it had the most engaging puzzles to do. The set was really nice throughout all spaces.
