Blood ThirstyHouse of Conundrum - Omaha Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe did BloodThirsty as a family outing since we like spooky stuff and heard it was one of the better “scary” escape rooms in Omaha. Overall it was really great. I don’t think it’s a spoiler as it’s on their website, but half of us went in handcuffed & blindfolded with the other half trying to rescue us unfortunate “victims”. Going in blind was actually pretty scary and the fact that they said the “monsters” could jump out at any moment definitely had me on edge. They do have live actors in this room, be warned. But I appreciated that they asked us for our consent if we were okay with certain scares. The puzzles were harder than I expected for a horror room. Most scary rooms I’ve done usually are less complex and focus on the scares but BLOODTHIRSTY’S puzzles left a few of us stumped. The atmosphere was filled with a dark, grungy yet neon-scifi esthetic, which works for the story they’re trying to tell. Hints are almost always given in-character which adds an extra layer of immersion. Also the finale is tense, suspense and VERY satisfying. If you’re a horror escape room fan and in Omaha, I think BloodThirsty is well worth a play through.

The Official SAW EscapeSaw Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWell, here we are. I’ve wanted to do this room since it came out years ago and was so excited to do it finally… we left feeling so disappointed. First, the team mates we were paired with sucked- not the escape rooms fault. They have an option that you can have a private room for $400+ but let’s be honest, majority of us aren’t doing that so it’s a gamble (it is Vegas, I guess) Then our GM/actor… boy… I really wish I could say better about him since a lot of other reviews say their actor was a highlight. He, unfortunately, made the experience WAY worse. He would nudge us in the right direction when asked, but other than that, his character dialogue basically consisted of “wow, you guys are stupid” I don’t mind a game master that playfully roasts our group while in character, that can be very fun- but this was excessive to the point where it felt more like bullying and just plain annoying. It doesn’t add to the tension. The puzzle design is hit and miss. Gotta be honest, maybe these puzzles were cutting edge when the escape room first came out but I’ve seen a lot of these style of puzzles used better elsewhere and for less of a ticket price. Also, some puzzles are humanly impossible unless you complete some of the early rooms, which give you hints down the line. I would not come here for well put together puzzle design. The only thing positive out of our experience is the set design. Gotta give them their props I wanted nothing more than to sing this rooms praises from the mountain top, but due to falling short on the teammate gamble, our annoyed & highly insulting actor and high tech but illogical puzzle design, I cannot recommend this experience.
