The BunkerEscape Rhode IslandEscape roomIRLThe rooms were very well decorated and we really appreciated the more challenging puzzles. However some of the puzzle mechanics were so dated that even though we knew exactly what to do it would not work. It's very frustrating when your team knows how to solve the puzzle but you literally couldn't because of dated materials. The puzzle master had to come in twice to finagle things to get it to work correctly for us.
Nightmare HotelGame Over Escape Rooms - ArubaEscape roomIRLMy husband and I love escape rooms and we're excited to to find that this location had just opened in time for our trip ๐ we have done many, many escape rooms in RI, MA and CT and these rooms were the most beautiful, realistic and immersive that we have ever done. We planned on doing just one as the price is a little more than we typically spend - but we were on vacation so it was justified. These rooms are definitely worth the price and booked a second one shortly after we finished! The variety of puzzles were amazing and we encountered some types we had never done before. Definitely a highlight of our vacation and we can't wait till we come back to Aruba to book the third ๐ค We even got my mom to tag along (who's never done one) and she wanted to come back with us when we did the second room! Our host Marieke was wonderful, knowledgeable and very kind - see you next year ๐๐ดโ๏ธ
Orient Express: The MurderGame Over Escape Rooms - ArubaEscape roomIRLOn vacation and my husband and I saw there was a new escape room company that had opened. We've done a lot of rooms back in RI & MA. This "room" was beautiful and you really felt you were in the experience. A lot of puzzles were unlike any we had experienced before using really creative techniques when you solve. There were multiple areas in this experience that you could get to find clues pertaining to the other rooms puzzles. It was a little pricey for us but we were on vacation so we decided to splurge. Highly recommend and definitely worth the price.
Haunted HouseEscapology - BraintreeEscape roomIRLThis was our first puzzle at Escapeology. The atmosphere was the best I've been seen and very immersive. Everything was very clean and straightforward. Our game master was very helpful and explained things to us we didn't understand at the end. The little jump scares were a great addition. My only gripe is that due to the nature of it being a haunted house it was very dark and we couldn't see some details that were needed to solve a puzzle. Excited to come back and do another!
