The Escape Game - Crocker Park

Not quite worth $42, but the Escape Game doesnโ€™t disappoint. The company is a well-oiled machine and this one fits a similar feel to other rooms. I like Mystery Ops, Depths, Prison Break, and Playground more. This one could use an extension as many people finish early. I hated the fact we still had 20 minutes left and that seems to be pretty common based on the comments I read. Could definitely extend the room and theme.

This room is very spacious and has so much potential. However, I felt like my team of 5 escapists felt more frustrated than wow-ed. The room definitely has a lot of potential and was probably very good a few years ago but now it just feels old, unclean, and the locks donโ€™t seem updated. I ranked this a dislike not because itโ€™s inherently bad, itโ€™s just not an escape room that I would recommend to a friend in Michigan. There are other better ones in the area.

I always hate writing a bad review, especially cause I want every escape room company to do well (especially the ones in Michigan)! However, this was possibly the worst escape room Iโ€™ve ever done. For a group of five, usually only 1 to 2 people could be doing a thing at a time. Often times there was no indication of what to do next until an audio would come over the screen and tell you what to do. As a group of five that have done several escape rooms (80-100+) and set several records at various escape rooms, all we could feel was frustration, and we could not even escape the โ€œhard modeโ€ of this room (we later found out that only 2 groups had ever escaped hard mode). This shows a poor design of an escape room. Additionally, there were several locks in this room that werenโ€™t even used. The room had only been open since last year and it was hard to read the black light cause it was so faded and not maintained. One puzzle required the game master to confirm answers for each clue - which is just another example of poor design. Try the Dwelling here if you must or just save your money and go to Ideal Escape or Adventure Mode.

Caution: motion sickness! (Spoiler at very end regarding sickness) Probably had some of my more favorite puzzles at Escaparium. In other rooms, you may have to rely more on live actor to solve puzzles. In this room, they are really only there for the story. I felt like our group solved more puzzles on our own and I found that to be more fun! I liked this plot a lot and I think itโ€™s exciting when you figure it out towards the end. Spoiler that you should talk to your GM about motion sickness with screens before starting the room. The very beginning has a lot of screens.

Not my favorite Escaparium room โ€” but anything less than a love for Escaparium would be wild. The amount of detail and attention they put into crafting their set and stories is incredible. I wasnโ€™t a particular fan of this room because it was very linear and focused more on the narrative and storytelling than the puzzles. I felt like there was way too much talking and acting, and I only ended up doing about 3 puzzles total in an hour and a half. Most of the time the guide tells you what to do.

CAPTIVATING set. Gameplay is weaker, but the story is SOOO fun. If you are doing a bunch of games at Escaparium, use this to be the one when you are the most tired. Maybe make it your last game of the day? It requires probably the least brain power since your GM guide you throughout most of the story. Itโ€™s definitely more linear. However, the set design blows a lot of the other sets away. They definitely spent a lot of money on it and it will just wow you from start to finish.
