Operation GryaznayavodaIn Search Of An ExitEscape roomIRLAbsolutely loved this one. Really high quality and obviously so much care is put into these. Gus and Patrick were fabulous hosts. One of my top rooms of all time. Clever, delightful, and fun. We did it with three enthusiasts and all had something to do at all times. Four would have also been fine. Can’t wait to try the third one at this location!
La Cerveseria [The Brewery]EnigmikEscape roomIRLWe liked but did not love this room as much as many other people seem to! We had 3 players and at the very beginning, the room bottlenecks with one very long, tedious puzzle where no one else can do anything in parallel. We unfortunately had some tech issues as well which meant that we often couldn’t tell if we had finished a part of a puzzle or not, so we kept getting kind of confused and frustrated. Overall the game is really original and cute, and once we finally got going with the tasks and got our rhythm we had a really good time.
Kingdom Of Cat-tastrophyOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLThis one did not work for us. A significant amount of the time is spent listening to recorded instructions telling you what to do next, rather than actual puzzle solving. Many intentional red herrings leading to a lot of wasted time and nonsensical puzzle solving. We also had tech issues on one of the last puzzles meaning we got stuck for ten minutes with a broken sensor; eventually the GM just opened the door. In terms of puzzles and game flow, this was a very weak room. The set and theme were fun, and there weren’t too many keypads or locks to take you out of the game (there were still some). Overall I don’t recommend this room – sad for major cat lovers!
Fortune Teller [prev. Madame Neptune's Voodoo Curse]Portland Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLA cute room with a really fun live actor. A very easy room, however. We finished in about half our allotted time with a group of a 3.
The Ritual RoomEscapism PortlandEscape roomIRLDecent room with some fun puzzles. One in particular felt somewhat novel and exciting. A LOT of lockboxes without any real connection to the puzzles though. There were multiple four-number combo locks that at any given time could have been used for a different puzzle, so if we found a code we’d have to try a bunch of different locks. It’s not immersive and it’s kind of sloppy. This is a pet peeve of mine in a room.
The Hacker of Silicon ValleyBreakout StudiosEscape roomIRLWe had a really great time in this Hacker room.
The Toy BoxZscape GamesEscape roomIRLThis room was ok! It has some fun puzzles and a cute concept. Overall the room is in really poor shape and feels like it is falling apart. Could use some major upkeep; some of the broken elements impacted gameplay.
La Revolución De Los Murciélagos [The Revolution Of The Bats]The Darkest Room - Escape Room MadridEscape roomIRLCompletely dark/blind experience. We chose to do the normal/non-scary version and it was still quite intense for our group member with a fear of the dark, but we overall had a really good time. Great game master and immersion. The puzzles are fun and you need to use all of your senses and work together. One of the better fully dark rooms we have done!
Dark AltarOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLI’ve done other Omescape rooms and have enjoyed them, but there was almost nothing enjoyable about this room unfortunately. In fact, this is probably one of our least favorite rooms we’ve ever done out of 50+ rooms. Some of the tech didn’t work well, the puzzles nearly all required leaps of logic, and the final puzzle was so frustrating that we had pretty much just stopped having fun. We are experienced escapers – we have never needed as many hints or nudges as we did in this room. The props and set looked fairly old and not in great shape. Laminated cards with info on it take you out of the immersive experience. Overall, a really disappointing experience and not worth what we paid.
