Wizard’s Academy
Hometown Escapes
Escape room
IRL
A fun and charming Harry Potter themed room. We spoke a bit with the owner who was very nice and clearly passionate about escape rooms. Some of the puzzles were quite complex and multi-layered. A couple minor things in the room weren’t reset but it didn’t detract from the experience in any way. I liked that the room was really spread out into different sections and wanted players to make connections with things they saw much earlier. I’d be happy to do more rooms here if I’m ever back in the area.

People here were quite nice and the opening “rules of our escape room” video was extremely charming. The room was fun, though we seemed to get stuck a lot. Most of which was probably our fault as it came down to not noticing certain details. Though I think one prop may have been broken as we did the correct code several times with no result until the GM came on to confirm what code we used and tell us to try it again. Suddenly it worked! Overall we had a good time and would try more rooms here if we passed through again.

I’ve always had a soft spot for stage magic so I really enjoyed the theming here. A lot of inventive elements, and very tactile. They really got a lot of puzzles into a single room, some of which were quite tough, but I appreciated that the GM gave us nudges in the right direction for hints rather than just telling us what to do. One critique is that there were remnants of a discontinued puzzle still in the room, which proved a bit distracting at times. Overall had a good time!

We did all three rooms at this location over three days. It’s a great place and each room is masterfully designed. This one was our favorite. It’s non linear and so you’re never at a loss for things to do, with a great variety of puzzles, including some things I’d never seen before. Doable with two people but easier with more, probably. Warning: crawling required.

This room is scalable, which means there were fewer puzzles for two people than there would’ve been for three, four or more. Even with that, there was way more to do than we could personally achieve in 60 mins. We received very frequent (unasked for) hints, but in fairness there’s no way we’d have seen the ending if they’d waited for us to ask for help. This is still super well-designed room and a great overall location, just a warning that two is not enough unless you’re elite players.
The Break Room: Krampus
The Lost Room Escape Adventures
Escape room

A really fun and thoughtful room. There was a ton of stuff to do, and we got several hints (mostly unasked for, but we probably wouldn’t have finished without them). Maybe better to have three or four people versus two. We were never bored or at a loss for what to work on next. A ton of original and clever puzzles. Great overall location. A real place for enthusiasts.
Old Sparky
101 Escapes - Westlake Village
Escape room
IRL
A sparsely decorated room with the one big gimmick (the electric chair one player starts strapped into). After the intro, becomes a fairly generic old-fashioned room, with most of the challenge coming from things being obscured or confusing. There was no sense of flow or momentum. Also, we found a pad of paper but they were surprised afterwards when we asked them if we were supposed to have had a pen to go with it, so a problem with the room reset it seems. A pen would’ve helped!
Darkcade
101 Escape Rooms - Oaks Mall Location
Escape room
IRL
Fairly linear, lots of various locks and combination locks, but still a lot of fun. Flowed well, puzzles made sense, and some creative interactive elements with the arcade theme. Only needed one hint and it was something we probably should’ve noticed on our own. Would do more games with this company.
Lunar Station 7
Urban Escape Games - Alpharetta
Escape room
IRL
A well-themed series of rooms with a good variety of puzzles. Would be difficult with less than four people as there are quite a lot of things to do, but I appreciated that some puzzles can be solved in any order so we could break up into teams and work independently. We did need a few hints, but all for things we’d overlooked, and I don’t think any of it was unfair. Overall we enjoyed it a lot and felt it flowed really well.
The Forbidden Tomb
Royal Escape Rooms - Shoppes at Edgewater
Escape room
IRL
There are more details in my review breakdown, but essentially this could be a decent room if it was better maintained and had more thoughtful signposting to lead players along. A lot of things that frustrated us were based on faded paint, unclear cause-and-effect, way too dim lighting, broken mechanics, broken props, unintelligible audio clues, uninterested GMs, etc. Overall one gets the sense this room has seen better days.
