Abandoned Acres Escape Adventures

Abandon Acres is really doing a FANTASTIC job. Although this may sound like a bit of shade, I mean it with love: I would NOT expect an escape room in Sparta, MI to be this great. It proves just how much the owners/creators/operators love and appreciate escape rooms. We've done rooms in some of the largest cities in the US that have access to more resources, and these rooms in Sparta just as great (and in many cases, even better!). They are doing innovative things in their rooms, telling great stories, keeping it fun, AND the staff have been very nice each time we've been. I really can't recommend this place any higher.

Puzzle Room Pittsburgh

We had a disspointing experience at this room when we attempted it a week before it was closed permanently. During the pre-game chat and overview, the game master mentioned that there were a few things not working in the room but they weren't going to fix them because the room was going to be closed the next week anyway. This included the micophone/speaker to communicate with the game master, and so instead they provided a walkie-talkie for communication that died part of the way through our experience... so much so that one of us had to leave the room to go track down the game master and get some help. The lighting in the room was dim for ambiance and theming, but it made it nearly impossible to see some of the important elements, including a puzzle on dark gray rocks that had important things painted in black on them. It just seemed like a poor choice. The game master was apologetic, but I just think that if you weren't going to fix the broken elements before the room officially closes, then there were other options: Close the room a week early... Let those who book the room know about the issues on the website before booking... or offer the room at a discount during its last week of run. We only did one room while we were in Pittsburgh for the weekend, and chose this one because of its unique theme... and unfortunately it left us wishing we would have chosen some of the other venues we had bookmarked.

This was a fun room with LOTS to do over multiple rooms. As a group of four experienced escape room players, we were busy the entire time and escaped with under a minute to spare. Definitely some fun mechanics and suprises... and a few puzzle types I had never seen before. We really enjoyed the concept of the GM being part of our "team" and getting to see them on video at the start of the game. Seems like a tactic that could be used by more escape rooms.

Escape Room LA

I feel super mixed about this room. If there was a đŸ«łđŸ» “ehh” hand, between thumbs up and down, I would pick it. What ultimately ticked to thumbs up was the work that went into the setting and atmosphere. I really can appreciate the effort, vision, and execution of an amazing set up. Our experience was not filled with the fun and thrill of other escape rooms because there were three puzzles/items that were malfunctioning, plus, the ultimate reveal of the victory had us scratching our heads. Two of us (in a group of five) completed the final puzzle without even knowing we were winning the room, while the other three were in another place still working on a puzzle that ultimately had no impact on us winning the game (because of a malfunction). That excitement of a win and escape was flattened and it was quite disappointing.
