The AtticSherlock's Escape Rooms - FlorenceEscape roomIRLThis is probably not only my favorite room at this company, but one of my favorite rooms ever. The theming was wonderful, staff super helpful, and puzzles were super intuitive. I loved this room so much, I don’t even have words. I did it with a group of 2 and I thought it was a PERFECT challenge for us, without being impossible. We had 2 minutes left on the clock.
The ShedSherlock's Escape Rooms - Cold SpringEscape roomIRLAwesome room! A little hard to see, but they provide flashlights and it was obviously intentional, but if you already need glasses like me, go to the eye doctor first lol. I loved the theming in this room, and our game master was super helpful!
Sherlock's Unsolved MystrySherlock's Escape Rooms - Cold SpringEscape roomIRLFun room! Very basic in the sense that what you see is what you get, but fun, intuitive puzzles and super friendly staff!
Motel Room 13Sherlock's Escape Rooms - Cold SpringEscape roomIRLDecent room. Staff was SUPER friendly and there were some fun effects, but I found some of the puzzles to be un-intuitive. Still a fun experience, but I would definitely bring more than 2 people, i made that mistake.
Area DGreat Escape GameEscape roomIRLPretty fun! Cool theming and fairly intuitive puzzles! Our adventure guide / game master was very helpful. Not a super large room, but for the space they had, it was very well-utilized, especially for a small business! For how negative the reviews for this location seem to be on this app, I thought it was very enjoyable! I think people forget most escape rooms aren’t large corporations with unlimited budgets who can work literal magic. I 100% would return, and even was going to book another room if they weren’t sold out for the rest of the night!
The MobPanIQ Room - Fulton MarketEscape roomIRLThis room was insanely fun! Definite my favorite I’ve done with PanIQ! Anna was an amazing adventure guide, and the room was great! I think the gameplay was intuitive and super fun for my group of just 2 players. We are very experienced players, I even work at a different escape room company, and there is definitely lots to do in the room, so if you’re new to escape rooms, I’d bring 4 people to play instead of a pair!
Perfect CrimePanIQ Room - IndyEscape roomIRLBasic room in the sense that you don’t unlock various areas, but with the space you are given, the theming is very immersive and the puzzles intuitive! For my team of 2, this was a perfect challenge that wasn’t too hard that we couldn’t do it, but not too easy that it felt like a waste of my money! Our game master was very friendly and helpful throughout the game.
Insane AsylumPanIQ Room - IndyEscape roomIRLIf you aren’t a fan of flashing lights or dimly lit rooms, this is not for you! The website does clearly warn if this before booking, and our game master even confirmed when we arrived about the lights. I enjoyed this room. There was only one singular puzzle I found to be un-intuitive, but the rest of the gameplay flowed very well. Our game master was very friendly and helpful throughout the game and likely gave my team of 2 more help than we deserved (though we definitely needed it!). The dim lighting definitely added a layer of challenge to this room, and while I thought it was well-utilized and fun, it may bother some, so don’t ignore the warnings! The flashing is very intense at first, but does get better and simply just darker later on.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - CincinnatiEscape roomIRLThis was a great room! My team of 2 greatly enjoyed, and escaped with around 6 minutes left. the theming was wonderfully immersive and well-made, and I found the puzzles to all be intuitive and well-done! Our game master was very helpful to my small team
The KidnappingBreakout Games - IndianapolisEscape roomIRLVery basic room by all means. Not necessarily bad, but fairly underwhelming and way too easy for my team personally. If you are newer to escape rooms, or just plain bad at them, this room would serve as a wonderful challenge, but too easy for more experienced players! Still great, albeit basic, theming and fun, coherent gameplay though! I would definitely recommend to small or inexperienced groups.
