Servants of Sleight
The Exit Games FL
Escape room
IRL
Servants somehow managed to live up to the incredible amount of hype behind it. The environments are incredibly well-made and detailed, the puzzles are top-notch and unique, and the surprises throughout are wonderful. This game could have ended halfway through and it would have been my top game ever - and then the second half got even better. If you travel to Tampa, you NEED to play this game
Pins & Needles Tattoo Parlor
The Exit Games FL
Escape room
IRL
Just flat out incredible. The rooms here are decorated masterfully, the puzzles are unique and seamless, and the story is one that I don't think I can ever forget. Like seriously, holy s$&! the thought that went into every detail around the story left me figuring things out weeks after I had played. The difficulty is also so perfect, such that we never felt stuck on one puzzle for too long but still got plenty of great solve moments. I really can't recommend this room enough - this venue is worth taking a vacation for.

La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]
Escaparium Laval
Escape room
IRL
The Forgotten Cathedral is so grandiose and ambitious that I can't believe it exists. The sheer scale of what escaparium has built is insane, but the game never lingers on it, and instead moves you from one stunning environment to the next. Even the "smaller" areas were breathtaking, and one room in particular just took my breath away. Combine this with magical special effects and some spectacular sound design, and you have a room that I can't believe wasn't built by Disney or Universal Studios. However, I do think that it is important to mention that the puzzling here didn't quite live up to the promise of the set design. The room felt more task based and I felt was lacking a good multi-level puzzle like ones we found in Escapariums other games. The tech was also finicky at times, and we had a particularly rough moment in the final room that took away a ton of our momentum. I think, despite the flaws, everyone who can should play the Cathedral just to see what is possible with the escape room medium. If this is what we can expect more of in the coming years, I am extremely excited to keep playing games and seeing what comes next.
L'Île perdue de la Reine Vaudou [The Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen]
Escaparium Laval
Escape room
IRL
Voodoo Queen takes the idea of a pirate ship game and turns it up to eleven. The sheer scale of the set is incredible, and the atmosphere from beginning to end is immaculate. Our experience was tripped up with some reset and tech issues, but the puzzles were still all very interactive, multi-leveled, and dynamic. Highly recommend this one for any group!
The Man From Beyond
Strange Bird Immersive
Escape room
IRL
Yup, this game is as good as everyone says. Don't read any more then you have to, just come to Houston and enjoy the ride - which was by far one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.
Hide + Seek
The Escape Warehouse
Escape room
IRL
Incredibley expansive game that feels like it takes place in a real house. Great in-world puzzles and a nice creepy vibe throughout. 100% worth the drive if you are in LA!
The Storykeeper
Locurio
Escape room
IRL
Storykeeper was whimsical, fun, and super satisfying to play! Every puzzle was intricate and multi-leveled, which allowed for some incredibly satisfying solves and great reveals. The hint system was integrated so well, and the actors all did their part to perfection. Easily a game I'd say everyone should experience!
Undercooked
Omescape - Sunnyvale
Escape room
IRL
Undercooked was a fast paced game that will test your puzzling chops! The unique mechanism of earning points as you complete puzzles really gives it a video-game feel, and the puzzles are not pushovers either, with many mental and physical challenges throughout. The decor is also extremely well done. My only complaint is that the main game mechanic is a bit cumbersome, especially with more then 4 people, but it's nothing even close to a deal breaker. Try to beat our teams 24 dishes!
Ghost Patrol
Trivium Games
Escape room
IRL
Ghost Patrol was whimsical and adorable - the story was so perfectly integrated into the puzzling that I had a smile on my face practically the entire time. The ambience and lighting was a masterclass in how to set the mood without saying a word. It wasn't mind-blowing but it was a perfectly great experience that is well-deserving of the praise it gets.
Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's Bigfoot
The Nemesis Club
Escape room
IRL
IMO the better of the two NC rooms, this game pushes immersion to its absolute limit. From the beginning, which felt like a classic scary story around the campfire, to the frantic and crazy ending, we felt like explorers the entire time. A really healthy mix of tech puzzles and physical solves made for a satisfying experience the entire time. Come play this game and join the Monster Rangers ASAP!
