    Rush Escape Game St Kilda

    A horror twist on Alice in Wonderland. There are no jump scares/restraints/dark rooms like some of Rush’s other rooms, but there are elements of gore. They’ve done a top notch job with the theming, and the puzzles were all high quality.

    This room is an absolute blast. You can feel a lot of Cyberpunk influence has gone into the design, (I was most reminded of the Deus Ex series, or System Shock). There is some very high production quality in this room, and some knockout puzzles. Mission Escape Games best room by far

    Great room. Theming was excellent, as well as the storytelling. Puzzles were clever, and didn’t overuse locks. Plus some fun props to take some incriminating photos with at the end.

    Tropic Escape Room

    While a lot of the work put into theming the room was nice, the puzzles were a bit poorly designed in places, and the flow of events wasn’t always logical. The game master tried to make up for it by giving us excessive hints, often before we had a chance to tackle a puzzle. We only completed the second room out of three, and were a group of 2. It might work better for a larger group.

    The room is fine, although there were a couple of small issues. The first room is dark, with a bunch of black stones on the floor. I almost tripped a few times. The puzzles were all pretty fair, although the room is definitely on the easier side of things. We finished with about 15 minutes to spare on the main game,(for a 45 minute room), and did all the bonus puzzles with 5 minutes to spare. Once we left the room the first time, no one came out to greet us, so we went back inside. Same thing happened the second time once we finished the bonus puzzles. It was all a bit confusing. I think the hosts may have been busy with a large group, but it did feel very strange.

    The Escape Game - Brooklyn

    Another excellent room from The Escape Game. The level of production value and theming that goes into these rooms continues to be top tier. There is a ton of high tech gadgets and gizmos in here, but at the end of the day all of the puzzles were fair and balanced. Only slight stretch is the final challenge takes along time for two people to complete. The room feels best for a group of three to four.

    Slightly lighter on the puzzling than the first episode, and much heavier on the role playing and narrative development. Such a great immersive experience, feel like I lived through the film Alien, or 2001 a space odyssey.

    This was a fun little 1 roomer. The theming was simple and well done, and the narrative was fun. Biggest issues were with the puzzle design. There were instances of multiple combination locks with the same number of characters/digits, when combined with the solutions to problems being available well before the lock was found, left us confused about whether we were on the right track. There was another puzzle where we would have the right reasoning to solve it, but the graphic clues were ambiguous/misleading, and left us guessing combinations and until the GM stepped in to clarify.

    All In Adventures - Middletown [prev. Mystery Room]

    Unfortunately this room was pretty low quality. The puzzles were was mostly a series of combination locks. The theming was limited to some posters, and a few prison beds. Our game master was lovely, but was the only person operating all the rooms/front desk, which slowed down check-in/receiving clues.

    This room has some great puzzles in this doomsday themed room. The narrative was a lot of fun as well. There was one puzzle we got stuck on for a long time,(an audio puzzle), which is a real grind if you are not great at recognising sounds. Production quality was high, would recommend.
