Frumskógurinn [Jungle Drums]Breakout ReykjavíkEscape roomIRLGood room. Nice theme, set, and the puzzles were varied and unique. If you're in Reykjavik, I'd recommend playing it.
The Battle for BritainEscape PlanEscape roomIRLThis is a good room, with a part that is more linear and a part that is not. The puzzles are varied, many are novel, and the theme is pretty good. I would recommend doing this room if you're in London.
Lucky Dice DinerExpedition EscapeEscape roomIRLVery good room. Nice theme with varied puzzles. A few combination locks but plenty of other creative lock types. Would definitely recommend playing.
The Blind Tiger SpeakeasyExpedition EscapeEscape roomIRLGreat theme, varied puzzles. I wasn’t blown away and we sped through it but I’d definitely recommend playing it. I liked Lucky Dice Diner a bit better.
Bonus Fun Time Game Show ChallengeEscape FactorEscape roomIRLVery nice room. Varied puzzles and plenty to do at any given time. Would definitely recommend a visit. My main gripe with this place is that almost all puzzles resolve to a key or combination lock.
Ghost In The GraveyardEscape FactorEscape roomIRLVery good room. Fun set/theme and puzzles. I think this was my favorite room of this location
Lockbuster Video60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLVery solid room. Varied puzzles, good theme. Definitely recommend
Curse of the Hidden TemplePuzzleConnect Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally nice room. We sped through it but the scenery was great and the puzzles were varied and satisfying.
The Candy ShoppePuzzleConnect Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLPretty easy room but nice scenery and unique puzzles
Frozen In Time: The Race To Save Christmas!PuzzleConnect Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLVery nice room. Good set and puzzles. Would definitely recommend
The Timekeeper's Trapped!Escape FactorEscape roomIRLNice room. I’d definitely recommend. Pretty unique puzzles and the story and set fit together well. My main complaint would be that a lot of the locks are the same type so when you solve a puzzle it’s not necessarily obvious which lock that corresponds to. Also Jay was a very friendly game master. She was on top of giving us nudges.
Invasion60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLThis is a good room that’s probably worth doing if you’re in the area (but it’s not so good that I’d travel for it). The set is immersive and the puzzles were pretty good. They said this is the hardest room but we found the puzzles more straightforward than the pirate room. That said, I’ve been to plenty of other rooms where the story, puzzles, and set came together better. One thing that’s kind of obnoxious about this company is that they upsell you on getting unlimited hints (versus the built-in 6). We ended up only needing 4 but paid the extra just in case. It feels nickel-and-dimey to charge $15 for more hints.
Pirates Curse60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLWent into this with reasonably high expectations based on the reviews but I’d say it was just okay. The set is good and the puzzles are fairly novel but there were a bunch of somewhat random leaps of logic and we didn’t think it fit together all that well. They have bonus puzzles, which is kind of a nice mechanism to give you more to do if you finish the room early. Unfortunately it also has the effect of leaving you slightly disappointed even if you do escape.
The AnomalyThe Other Tales Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLNot the most immersive room but they really made use of a small space. Lots of puzzles, interesting and neither too easy nor hard. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area!
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - NYC MidtownEscape roomIRLDecent room. The puzzles were reasonably novel. Story and environment weren’t particularly amazing but if you’re around and have already done their other rooms, I’d tack this one on.
The AlchemistSherlockedEscape roomIRLTop notch room. Definitely worth playing. The set design is extremely impressive. The puzzles were novel though not super hard so I think you're coming more for the wow factor of the set. That said, you should come for the wow factor of the set.
Segreti D’Egitto [Secrets Of Egypt]Escape Room Resolve - BolognaEscape roomIRLNot a great room. We found the puzzles very unintuitive
Molly's GameUntold Stories Experiences [prev. Down the Hatch]Escape roomIRLExcellent, excellent escape room. The set is phenomenal, the story is interesting, the puzzles are challenging and novel without being frustrating. You probably already know this but you should visit this room.
Soup Du JourRock City EscapeEscape roomIRLAmazing room. Excellent scenery and varied puzzles. Super engaging and quite hard with two people
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLExcellent scenery and novel puzzles but a couple of the puzzles felt more unintuitive than pleasantly challenging. In any case, definitely worth a visit (along with their other room)
