Invasion60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLReally great room although quite challenging particularly for 2. A few items we were unlikely to get without a hint and it’s fairly linear so you could get stuck for a while and you need every minute on this one. So don’t be bashful on hints.
Mystery Manor60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRL60 to escape is super high quality and Mystery Manor is a great example. Multiple rooms to go through to escape but with great flow and everything made sense. Not the hardest room for enthusiasts but still worth the experience.
Cheesie's Pizza Party60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLReally great theming and atmosphere. Game itself was pretty challenging. Would be very difficult to escape with no hints.
The Ice CaveDaydream Adventures - DanforthEscape roomIRLNothing breakthrough but solid game with fun ending.
SPY2KEscape The PikeEscape roomIRLVery disappointing room. Almost walked out after wasting first 40 min. Lots of “noise” in the props which are fun to see but make game play hard. Incorporating 30 year old technology isn’t so cool when it doesn’t work properly. One task was painfully long because of tech challenges. I have a hard time believing you could complete the room without multiple hints which is not good design. I also would not recommend for 2. Min of 3 since there is a ton of things to search. Finally, knowing 90s is quite helpful for this room so beware if you don’t know 90s electronics and gameplay. Too bad as their other rooms are much better.
Witch's HollowStained Hourglass Escapes LLC.Escape roomIRLExcellent experience at Stained Hourglass! The room was really well done and perfect for our group of 3 enthusiasts. Game master added the right touches in character to help us when needed and add some fun elements. It would have been a lot for 2 to get done so 3 feels like bare minimum unless you want lots of GM help. Definitely one of the best rooms in greater Boston area.
A Very Merry MysteryProdigy Puzzles Escape Rooms [prev. Mystery Soup Escape Rooms, Lock & Clue]Escape roomIRLFun room! Lots to do for 2 people but most puzzles were simple to solve so it moved quickly. And nice touch ending. Very well run facility and surprisingly good for the area
The DaVinci HeistBreak Free Escape GamesEscape roomIRLOverall pretty low quality game. Weak storyline, items were a bit beaten up. Hint system is really poor. You can only access via QR codes so no ability to talk to them when stuck. Get ready for randomly figuring out the order of a code through trial and error. Would not recommend this to newbies or veterans. Didn’t help that they didn’t reset game properly from group right before us.

Servants of SleightThe Escape Ventures - Clearwater [prev. The Exit Games]Escape roomIRLReally amazing experience. Lots of content, great interactions. Satisfying finish. Having done 300+ rooms this one is a standout. Well worth the extra drive.
Dr. Gem’s Time TrapMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLVery good room. Well done and fun. A lot to do for 2 people. 70 minutes seems more appropriate. If you do it with 2 you will need to be pretty quick on all the puzzles to get out in time.
