Cornstalkers: Lost in the MaizeThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis is one of the top rooms for us. The actor/game master we had for our room was fantastic, but I think the best part was there was a TON for us to figure out and everything made sense. We were able to make it through the maze and solve the puzzles, and we had a blast through it all. This was our fourth room at this location, and we haven’t been disappointed yet. The utilization of space with puzzles and things to do is incredible. Whether you are new to escape rooms or enthusiasts, keep this one on your must-do list.
The Missing ToymakerHuddys Escape - OcalaEscape roomIRLThis room felt like it was entirely designed around a prop in the final room. Because of that, nothing felt cohesive. Our team has done more than 50 rooms together, and we’ve gotten out of just about every room in the time provided. This room’s “clues” for puzzles, however, were so ambiguous they weren’t helpful. Some props that were clues needed to be glued down, some needed to be more obvious so we didn’t feel like we were accidentally breaking something. Most escape rooms also tell you things aren’t above your head or below your knees, but this one literally had locks I had to lay on the ground to complete. If this was the first room built at this place, I could maybe look past some of the errors. But it’s not. We’ve played most of the others, but this one was by far the most frustrating. I hate to do this to a local business, but honestly unless some major edits are made to this room, my advice would be to save your money.
