Budapest ExpressEscapology - DenverEscape roomIRLMore of a murder mystery than an escape room, so for that reason, I wasn’t as impressed with this one. Collecting clues to figure out “whodunnit”. Fun, but don’t go into it expecting your typical escape room.
Back to the DinerGolden Puzzle RoomEscape roomIRLAmazing set design! The music and the setting made you really feel like you were in an old diner. Some of the puzzles were pretty hard, and without a hint here and there, I’m really not sure how you’d escape this one. Some of the more high tech puzzles did not work, but the gamemaster was quick to fix it. Overall, fun but hard!
Lost CityEscapology - DenverEscape roomIRLEasy but fun! Felt like there could’ve been a few more puzzles as it seemed too short, but still enjoyable.
Billy Bonka and the Burst BubbleConundrum Escape Rooms - LakewoodEscape roomIRLThis was a really fun and well designed room. The set design was amazing and definitely achieved the whimsical fantasy setting you’d expect from a room with this theme. All the puzzles were very unique and a bunch that I’d never seen before. The room can be done with any number of players, but like the website says, I’d highly recommend at least 3-4 people since it is a non linear room with many puzzles. We did it with just 2 people and came within 2 puzzles of completing it, so with 1-2 more people, we would’ve been able to escape.
Treasure HuntMission EscapesEscape roomIRLA simple, yet engaging room. It is a very linear room, so much so that as you solve clues, it tells you which lock goes with that clue so that you aren’t guessing all the locks in the room. Set design wasn’t anything fancy, but it got the job done. I’d say this one is definitely a room for beginners, but even people with lots of experience doing escape rooms will have fun with it.
5T0P_TH3_80M8.AIEpic Escape Game - Downtown DenverEscape roomIRLI had my doubts on this room based on some of the reviews and how bad Horrorscope Killer was, but this one was amazing! It’s a small room but they made the most of it with many unique puzzles and cool set design. It’s a non linear game, which typically aren’t my favorite, but they did a great job with this one. Storyline was a little odd, but that didn’t detract from how well done this room was.
The NightingaleGolden Puzzle RoomEscape roomIRLLots of puzzles in this one, and they start off easy and get pretty difficult as you progress. Some basic ones, and some unique ones. I liked the concept of having items hidden throughout the room that you need; makes it like a scavenger hunt within the room. Overall, a good room with a good design and interesting story.
Private Eye For The MobEpic Escape Game - Downtown DenverEscape roomIRLOverall, this was an average room. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad by any means. It’s a linear room, and is set up like a crime scene so it basically guides you through the clues from one to the next. The way in which you escape this particular room is a little different, but I won’t spoil anything. It’s a very small room, so I wouldn’t do this one with more than 3-4 people.
Horrorscope KillerEpic Escape Game - Downtown DenverEscape roomIRLAll of Epic’s room are very good, but this is the first one that I’d say missed the mark. It was way too overly challenging and extremely difficult. I’ve done 50+ rooms and still had a very rough go on this one. None of the puzzles are straightforward, there’s a few where you have to basically infer the solution. Not only that, but there’s one particular puzzle with multiple outcomes, but only one outcome is correct. Even expert players are going to have difficulty on this one. I’d love to try it again if Epic can tone down the level of difficulty here, because the set design and story were pretty fun, even with the room being very small.
The Pink PantherMystic Escape Room - LittletonEscape roomIRLOverall, a great room! Mystic does a great job of maximizing the space in each of their rooms. This one was straightforward, but not overly challenging to the point where it’s not enjoyable. We never felt like we were stuck and just spinning our wheels. It all flowed well, had a good story and objective, and was very engaging!
