Agent 1313th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLIt somewhat pains me to write this…but after playing all the games here, 13th Gate seems highly overrated. This game in particular was a disappointment. Multiple puzzles not working, the GM didn’t know how to operate/explain some of the puzzles and ended up just turning one off to get us through it. Truly felt like we were just trapped in this room and couldn’t wait for it to end. The set wasn’t terrible, and while not a unique concept we can see where they tried some new spins. But overall, just disappointed.
AsylumTrapped In The Upstate - GreerEscape roomIRLStopped here on a road trip and are glad we did! GMs were accommodating and flexible (we had booked a different room, but after they asked our experience level, allowed us to swap to a more difficult room). Good set design and challenging puzzles. Starting in the straight jackets wasn’t creepy at all and did add to the immersion factor :). Will definitely return when we can to do the other rooms!
Bring Back the 80sBold Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLVery cool room! There were some technical difficulties, but the GMs were absolutely wonderful and worked hard to fix it so we could complete the game! Theme is fun, room is immersive and puzzles make sense. Overall enjoyable, would definitely recommend!
Create A CloneBold Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLFavorite room here! Flowed well, the theme was unique and the room was well decorated/designed. There was a puzzle or two that required some “nudges”, which for enthusiasts can be frustrating if you can’t get through the room without help, but overall very enjoyable and challenging. Would definitely recommend!
Escape The UndeadPuzzle Room PittsburghEscape roomIRLSet design and attention to detail was incredible and made it immersive. Puzzles were interesting and cool tech, but it didn’t flow well…it felt like you wouldn’t be able to do the room without timed “nudges” from the GM.
Hide + SeekThe Escape WarehouseEscape roomIRLCannot recommend this game and this business enough! Their rooms definitely moved into our top 5 rooms (and we had done 13th gate on this trip as well!). Immersive doesn’t begin to describe the set, it’s about as real life as you can get! There are surprises around each corner that keep upping the ante! Puzzles are challenging and well laid out. Just go…you will not regret it!!
Neighborhood WatcherThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLWe came to complete the rest of the games at this location, and they did not disappoint with this one! Cierra was our gm and truly made the experience special . From the story to the theme to the set and right down to the clue system, the immersion, commitment, creativity and evident passion for creating an unforgettable experience from both Cierra and the game designer is what makes this room a must-do. The “total package” of this room takes the immersion factor to another level. If you’re thinking about it, just book!
Operation Arctic Storm: The Final MeltdownThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLUnique puzzles, theme and story that is well thought out and designed- which is a combination that is hard to come by! Flows well, makes sense and is the perfect balance of challenging and simply fun. And the team at TEV is just as fun and as the games! Elle was our gm and, from start to finish, made us feel like we were truly stuck in a storm, but also ensured we had a blast!
Subway EscapeEscape Room PittsburghEscape roomIRLLOVED this game! The set design was incredible and immersive. Puzzles made sense, flowed well and were challenging. This definitely made it into our top list and was our favorite room here!
The Barnyard WindsCaptivating WorldsEscape roomIRLDefinitely recommend! Owners are so welcoming and kind, and the GMs are attentive and showed genuine interest in ensuring we had the best game experience possible. The theme is very cute and unique, and the set design and puzzles fit perfectly.
