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.
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.
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.
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!
Robotopia
Omescape - Sunnyvale
Escape room
IRL
Robotopia was another step up for Omescape - something that I thought would be almost impossible after Undercooked. The incredible collaborative and multi-leveled puzzling, the giant and dynamic space, mixed with a perfect amount of humor and wit deliver an experience akin to a blockbuster movie in both quality and length. Run, don't walk to come check out one of the new top dogs in the bay!
Neighborhood Watcher
The Escape Ventures - Orlando
Escape room
IRL
Neighborhood Watcher was another great game from the escape ventures crew, and by far their most atmospheric game yet. The scenery and acting do a great job of keeping you on edge the entire time. One particular moment stood out as the perfect combo of tension-building while also not needlessly scary. Also from a design perspective, an incredible use of space turns what is functionally their smallest room into something so much bigger. The puzzles were solid and felt great to solve. Highly recommended that you come and experience the Watcher for yourself!
Hope End
The Ministry Of Peculiarities
Escape room
IRL
Hope End is in a genre of escape rooms that is doing something special and elevating this weird hobby into real art and narrative substance. This game is very special and everyone involved and making it and running it clearly pours their heart and soul into everything they do. This is the type of game you travel for, and should be a great reason for any enthusiast to make the trip out to Pomona.
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!
