Molly's Game

Down the Hatch

Escape room
IRL

Excellent, 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.

The Alchemist

Top 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.

Invasion

60 to Escape - Milwaukee

Escape room
IRL

This 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.

Ghost Light

MyssTic Rooms

Escape room
IRL

Excellent 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)

Pirates Curse

60 to Escape - Milwaukee

Escape room
IRL

Went 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.

Playground

The Escape Game - New York

Escape room
IRL

Very nice scenery. We did it with 3, which bumps up the difficulty (in a good way) a bit just because there are quite a lot of puzzles to do.

The Observatory

The Gate Escape

Escape room
IRL

Quite a nice room. Lots of puzzles with unique mechanisms and they made good use of the physical space. There were some puzzles that felt a little frustratingly arbitrary but overall I’d recommend a visit.

Soup Du Jour

Rock City Escape

Escape room
IRL

Amazing room. Excellent scenery and varied puzzles. Super engaging and quite hard with two people

Timeliner: Train Through Time

The Escape Game - New York

Escape room
IRL

Decent 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.

Mystery of the Magician's Study

Boxaroo

Escape room
IRL

Solid room. We were two and went through it quickly. Good scenery and puzzles but not very difficult. This room had a lot of straightforward lock puzzles (lots of 3-5 number or letter communication locks).

Every escape room. Every haunt. Ever.

Evil Dead 2

Hourglass Escapes

Such a great experience. Great set, great puzzles, great tech! Captures feel of the movie really well, but knowledge of the film is not required.
