Cornstalkers: Lost in the MaizeThe Escape Ventures - Orlando Waterford LakesEscape roomIRLThis was a little anticlimatic and felt quite old school for a terpeca level experience. The game master/actor tried their best but the intensity simply wasn’t there - no coherent story development, poor music/sound effects during the experience, barely any scares, lots of counting puzzles, small set by European horror standards and just felt quite dull.
Kalóz Öböl [Pirate Bay]Mystique RoomEscape roomIRLNice initial ship facade but barely any puzzles, no story, no sound. Incredibly dull game within a relatively small set. The ship itself is relatively small and underutilised. Poor game mastering and overall would not recommend.
AntiqueHorror Bros.Escape roomIRLSome nice ideas but lacking execution. Lighting and sound were used well. Puzzles were few and lacked originality. Acting scenes also lacked impact and the ending was anti climatic. Has potential but puzzle flow and acting need to be improved substantially.
MaestroHorror ProductionsEscape roomIRLThe best escape room in Athens! Incredible experience - intense emotional story, great puzzle flow and quantity, impressive acting sequences.
UI-55 - CLOSEDCompendium Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLCollection style game - decent scale although it is all open from the beginning so no real sense of exploration or engaging transitions. No story development.
Wrong TurnCompendium Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSmall set, lots of red herrings, few puzzles, no story development and very dull for a wrong turn/horror escape rooms
Blackbeard's TreasureEscape Hunt UK LiverpoolEscape roomIRLAs a franchise expectations weren’t super high but given limited number of games in the city we thought we’d give it a go. Broken props, poor game mastering…the usual story unfortunately.
Opuszczony Hotel [Abandoned Hotel]Exit19.plEscape roomIRLReally fun experience with great use of space.
The Dark ForestHorror StoriesEscape roomIRLAn ok horror experience but felt very over hyped. Takes place mainly in one area so not much sense of exploitation or transition between spaces. Few puzzles, repetitive scares and no story development.
Es Ist Zurück! [It's Back!]The Code Agency - DüsseldorfEscape roomIRLNice set, but very few puzzles and those that were there lacked any depth. You can forgive this if it’s a terrifying experience with lots of actor interaction but sadly there was very little actor interaction throughout and comes across as more style over substance.
Obłęd [Asylum]Exit19.plEscape roomIRLFor an asylum themed horror experience this was pretty dull. At no point did the story develop beyond the initial blurb, no acting and overall felt like a very old school escape room experience.
Ensayo 1: Paranoia Remastered [Essay 1: Paranoia Remastered]Terror Stories by Experiencity - The Paranoia SagaEscape roomIRLPoor puzzle flow, heavy wear and tear on props, dull gameplay and lacking any cohesive story development.
Dům duchů [The Haunted House]The ChamberEscape roomIRLSome nice effects but overall felt a little dated and there was barely any story development.
Hřbitov [Cemetery]The Padlock CemeteryEscape roomIRLVery small set, little story development, few transitions.
La Cerveseria [The Brewery]EnigmikEscape roomIRLLots of puzzles without anything particularly exciting or innovative. Compared to other experiences in Barcelona this felt a little dull.
Botanist ManorEscape RushEscape roomIRLA very Strange story which is completely fine…if done well - but this was pretty meh. Good scale and some nice transitions but felt very whimsical as the story was so ridiculous. Relied heavily on tech / touch screens with a couple of frustrating puzzles that would have been better served in an online experience instead of a physical escape room. The ending felt very similar to a famous Dutch game.
NightShiftNightShift - CruPont Legacy [Prev. Unreal Room Escape]Escape roomIRLReally fun and a huge set! One set piece in particular was original and thrilling. Good variety and quantity of puzzles throughout.
Hide N SeekBraniac Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLVery intense experience with a fantastic ending transition. Personally would have preferred a few more puzzles as it’s very puzzle light and some of the scares drag on but overall great experience.
Into the DarkVerseDarkPark DelftEscape roomIRLThis felt like a pop up experience with limited set design and story development. Extremely puzzle light. Gameplay was unique to begin with but after a while became quite repetitive.
Robin Of LockskeyEscapologic - NottinghamEscape roomIRLThe aesthetic of the room didn’t match the story or time period - there was a landline phone in a Robin Hood experience 😅.
