Cirkus: Skrivnostni Primer Izginulega Slona [Circus: The Mysterious Case of the Missing Elephant]Enigmarium Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis was our favorite room of the three we did with this company. The GM felt a little over handed with the hints and we got out with almost 10 minutes left, the GM came in as an actor mid game and hinted us through a few puzzles we didnt really need hints for. The room had a TON of puzzles which made it a fairly hard room and we saw a lot of neat set design stuff we havent seen before. The story was fun and interesting and the decor was basic felt like it was well designed for the room.
Volkodlakova Vrnitev [The Return Of The Werewolf]Enigmarium Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSuper fun room! It wasnt scary at all but there were two spots where they were going for jump scares. This was a super hard room with 2 people as there were just a massive amount of puzzles some of them taking a lot of time but with a couple of GM hints we were able to get through it. I think it would be an amazing room with 4+ people. Overall a lot of really great decor and puzzles that we havent seen before.
Izgubljena Podmornica [The Lost Submarine]Enigmarium Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room was much better than we were expecting when we booked it it also happened to be much harder than we were expecting. The GM Was great and we needed 2 hints to get out of there with 2 minutes to spare as a group of 2. What we really liked about this room is that we saw a bunch of new puzzles that we have never seen before. All in all we were very surprised by how well this company put together the 3 rooms we did with them,
ArbrevilleDe Gouden KooiEscape roomIRLThe decor was amazing and what I would expect from our other experiences with De Gouden Kooi this was definitely their largest room yet. However we felt that the puzzles while on theme and matching decor and storyline were not very well thought out or complex. Every puzzle we saw was something that you see in every other room. De Gouden Kooi spent an incredible amount of time designing and building this room but seem to have given little thought to the actual puzzles. Some of this feedback is based on the expectations of their other rooms and that they are going for a top rated room for Europe. However other side of the very well done decor and room size there really wasn't anything special here at all. The puzzles were simple and more of just something to slow you down for a minute to look around.
The Murder of Max Sinclair [prev. Case Closed]Case Closed EdinburghEscape roomIRLThis was a fun room with a very different concept than a typical escape room. You are not so much solving puzzles as you are putting together the clues for a murder mystery. We had a lot of fun as a 2 person group but found some of the items a bit frustrating as the room was a bit dated. Overall the experience was pretty good though we don't think we would enjoy doing too many of this type of room.
Lidmašīna [Airplane]Escape.lv - Dzirnavu iela 92Escape roomIRLA fun if not very easy room, it could have used a few more puzzles to even it out. The game was easy to play in English and we didnt have an issue with translation items. The theming was a bit dated but they really did put a lot of effort into the mechanics of things. The biggest complaint is all the puzzles did feel very easy and they could have used a few more to pad out the room.
Karību Jūras Pirāti [Pirates Of The Caribbean]Escape.lv - Dzirnavu iela 92Escape roomIRLA fun if not very easy room. There was a lot of searching required and we did overthink one puzzle and get stuck on it for a few minutes before we said to ourselves we are overthinking this. Theming was fun if not a bit dated of a gen 2 room with a lot of locks. Overall I did enjoy it as I normally enjoy the pirate rooms. It could have used a few more puzzles and a bit more difficulty but was a breeze with 2 people.
Prison BreakEscape.lv - Brīvības iela 33Escape roomIRLIt’s an easy room that could use another 3-4 puzzles but likely good for beginners. Very Gen two type room with a lot of combo locks. Decor was decent and it had an interesting enough flow, just a bit easy. Fine for 2 people, I wouldn’t go with more than 4 though not enough for that many people to do
Radio NowhereCase Closed EdinburghEscape roomIRLWe wanted to like this room but for a group of 2 it just didn’t work. One person must run the radio station and the other must do the puzzles. Much like the other room at this location this isn’t so much as an escape room as a Sherlock solve a murder type room. Just kinda fell flat though
The Chamber of MysteriesThe DreamerEscape roomIRLA great little escape room in dunkirk. Emma was our GM and was fantastic start to finish. We played the room in English and had no problems. The room felt a little dated but it was better than most smaller town escape games. Decor was was done if not a bit old and puzzles were all creative and fun. If you find yourself in the area I can recommend doing this room and potentially checking out others from the same company. Room was on the easier side of medium and we had no trouble escaping although we did get an unsolicited hint or two that we likely would have been stuck on for a few more minutes. Great room for 2 experienced people or larger new group. There is required crawling for all team members
007: Mission ImpossibleEscape Room MonsEscape roomIRLRoom was not reset properly and a key was not placed into the room which created a lot of frustration. GM Had to come in and hand us spare key, no apology at all. The room seemed okay but with the poor reset was frustrating. They have a single GM overseeing 4 rooms at once which is just too many
SectorMy Escape ClubEscape roomIRLPretty fun experience at a lot like the bomb squad games you will find throughout Europe. This one features 6 different game rooms that all felt pretty well thought out. In between rooms you are asked trivia questions for extra points. Pretty fun and active activity to do in between doing other escape rooms. Definitely not for out of shape people
Judgment DayMy Escape ClubEscape roomIRLThis was a decent room that was hampered by an overworked GM. They had a single GM overseeing 4 rooms at once which made for a rocky game. Overall we didn’t feel the room was hard by any means and it didn’t feel very dated at all. The puzzles were interesting but a couple required doing things that other escape rooms specifically tell you not to, which would have benefited from minor design choices to make those items more clear. Overall a decent room but certainly not anything overly memorable
The AlchemistSherlockedEscape roomIRLWhat a fantastic room and worthy of its fame. Our GM was especially great even when the entire computer system crashed and we had to wait 10 minutes for it to get fixed we still enjoyed the decor and checking things out. We saw a bunch of new puzzle designs and the room felt more solid and like a real place then a constructed set. I think that is owed a lot to the use of real wood and metal all over. The GM communication system was also really fun and clever. A very solid loved it from us. We played as a couple with advanced notice they can gave the room setup for 2 and it didnt feel like too much of a rush or time crunch. Despite the computer crash we still felt this was a near perfect game
Mission Eureka [Eureka-Mission]Le Blockhaus Escape GameEscape roomIRLA very challenging room with 2 people apparently we were the first people to escape on time that day. Available in English, GM team very welcoming and friendly. This was a really neat room using actual WWII historic items. The room was very difficult especially with 2 people, its a fairly large space and required some searching for items. Some of the puzzles we challenging. The decor was well thought out and the room was a lot more professional feeling than we expected for a smaller town venue. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and wish this company had more than 2 rooms that we did in English.
Le Loup Gris [The Gray Wolf]Le Blockhaus Escape GameEscape roomIRLA really fun submarine room. Completed with a team of 2. The game is available in English with prior request. Great Normandy theming and based on a true story. Saw some new puzzles. While not overly super hard definitely not for beginners with a small team. Decor was well built and puzzles were thought out, overall we really enjoyed it.
L’Examen [The Examination]The Lock AcademyEscape roomIRLVery fun room overall, this was the third we did with the lock academy and our second favorite. Lots of twists and turns to be expected from them. Overall a lot of fun and a fairly hard room. Definitely worth doing.
L'avion [The Plane]The Game - Saint MichelEscape roomIRLA very fun room if not a little dated, we did it as a team of two and some of the tasks were challenging but we didn’t find it overall very difficult but also not so easy it wasn’t fun. The decor is really well done and made the room. The theme was also very unique. Might be too easy for a large group with experience. Good theming and plenty of fun.
AlicePhobia Escape GamesEscape roomIRLA very fun room. We got through in 48 minutes as a 2 person team so we felt it was slightly easy but there was a lot to do. Decor was great and some puzzles we haven’t seen before. You are separated at the beginning for a bit. Overall a fun room that we can recommend to people. English speaking GM and nothing written to read in the rooms so no language issues even if you don’t speak English or French.
The Lost Treasure Of Alexander Von HumboldtThe RoomEscape roomIRLA really fun and well done room with a lot of depth to it. As a team of two it was on the harder side but we managed to escape with a bit of time to spare.
