Cornstalkers: Lost in the MaizeThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLAnother winner from Escape Ventures. This was my favorite one yet. It's a little scary, but more spooky than horror. It felt like a good old fashioned hay ride on the scare factor and did a great job of incorporating real puzzles throughout. Great storytelling and Caiden was an excellent host. We were cracking up throughout the experience. I highly recommend it. ❤️
Azték Sírkamra [Aztec Catacomb]NeverlandEscape roomIRLVery immersive and cool set in a unique location. We loved the bar around the rooms and enjoyed spending some time there. The game had a few spots where we needed hints to keep it going, but overall the gameplay was smooth and it was a ton of fun.
Máguspróba [Wizard Trials]NeverlandEscape roomIRLThe Aztec room was my favorite. This one was cool, but had a few puzzles that weren't fully intuitive. We enjoyed the game, though, and Neverland as a whole. The staff were awesome. I highly recommend checking them out.
Jolly Jumble: Christmas ConundrumEscapismEscape roomIRLVery cute game! Tons of puzzles with a Christmas-themed set. The owner was very kind in letting us come in early to play while we were driving through. I look forward to coming back to play a few more games. We loved their Wild West game! We finished this one fairly quickly, but still enjoyed it a lot. Great game for kids or newbies and also would be ok to play solo, for those who like that sort of thing.;-)
The Outlaw Code: A Wild West Gold RushEscapismEscape roomIRLThis was a great game! Tons of puzzles with a very cool set that was exciting to interact with. The owner was very kind in letting us come in early to play while we were driving through. I look forward to coming back to play a few more games. We also enjoyed the Jolly Jumble.
BombshellNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLThis one didn't seem that exciting from the outset to me, but it had very cool puzzles with a lot of variety and some fun surprises. I really enjoyed it!
Super SecretNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLSeemed like a great game but quite a few things didn't work and the gamemaster was not helpful and a little rude. We played every other game at this location, though, and that was our only negative experience. Our other gamemasters were great and the other games were up and running nicely.
Escape JumanjiBust Out Escape Room - PaseoEscape roomIRLCool game, but very very similar to the 60 Out Jumanji game in Los Angeles, so I would not play both.
Rattlesnake BendBust Out Escape Room - PaseoEscape roomIRLThe puzzles had a nice storyline and it flowed well. Not a difficult game, but it was fun and a good atmosphere/set.
Area 53Bust Out Escape Room - PaseoEscape roomIRLThis game is made up of many small puzzles/tasks that are all labeled with a label maker to try to keep track of what info goes to what puzzle. It had some fun ideas, but overall, not a high design level and not terribly engaging.
