Mountain Top MurdersThe Great Escape Room - St PeteEscape roomIRLthe room was fun and the puzzles were good. i probably would have given it a heart, but the air was broken and we weren’t given an option to come back to do it another time so we had to do it in the heat. while it was fun, it wasn’t very enjoyable, a member of our party even had to sit down for part of the game that’s how hot it was. we all left with sweaty foreheads.
Orient ExpressGame Over Escape Rooms - ClearwaterEscape roomIRLDo not waste your money on this game. I reached out to the the company via email explaining the problems we experienced during our visit and waited a few days to see how they responded before I posted this review, but very unprofessionally they did not even respond. With much regret, we had a very disappointing experience with the Orient Express. We have done almost all rooms with Game Over Escape in the Tampa Bay area and were very excited to do this one, but left with a bad taste. The entire room had no logical flow and did not have functioning sensors. Though we had the puzzles in the correct order, there were times we had to wait around one full minute for the reveal to appear, and in escape room time one minute is a lot. This did not happen once, but with every single puzzle throughout the room. One portion was not reset at all. These mishaps completely threw us off. The staff was ok, but did not offer us to do another room at a discount and/or apologize for the faulty room. We have done over 100 rooms and definitely do not recommend this one at all. Parts of every room are dark as well and hard to see what you should be doing. Such disappointment and at an expense.
Phantom Files: The Investigation Of Lockturne ManorThe Escape Ventures - Port CharlotteEscape roomIRLTo start, our game master Kylon was absolutely amazing! He added so much to the game with his enthusiastic energy! Secondly, this was my FAVORITE escape room ever, and i’ve done a lot! The storyline is so fun and entertaining, and Escape Ventures never misses on the quality of their rooms, you truthfully are completely immersed and feel like you’re in an actual manor! If you’re considering doing this room i 120% recommend doing it, it won’t disappoint!
DraculaGame Over Escape Rooms - BrandonEscape roomIRLthe game flow, we’ll wasn’t that, it didn’t flow. felt all over the place. there was no point where you could rule out a puzzles answer being in any of the rooms, took forever going back and forth and looking for what goes with what. another room where it feels like it would be beneficial to have a pen and paper to write stuff down. definitely not a great experience, if this was my first room played at game over, i wouldn’t come back.
Scorched - CLOSEDOuterlife StudiosEscape roomIRLto start, the host was VERY unpresentable she was in stained clothes, was wearing no bra, which you could very much tell, and overall looked very dirty. to add, all of the flash lights for the room were broken. when we asked if we could use our phone flashlights, since we needed to be able to see, the host acted like she was doing us the biggest favor by allowing us to do so (like it’s not our fault your equipment is broken). she was talking down to us like we were stupid, and making us feel very inferior and uncomfortable. as soon as we get in the room she tell us where our first item is that we need to get out of that space, since it was broken, start to a horrible game. sometime through the gameplay she comes in and gives us flashlights with batteries that she admitted to nastily taking out of the trash. one of the flashlights she gave us actually turned out to be a black light, to which we kept finding clues too early and the host kept rudely telling us that the clues were not in play yet. while the facade was cool, it could not make up for sloppy, rude workers, broken game pieces, and overall a bad experience. we won’t be returning to outerlife.
Servants of SleightThe Escape Ventures - Clearwater [prev. The Exit Games]Escape roomIRLmy favorite room i’ve ever done! another company that we always recommend to other players. i cannot possibly exclaim how good of an experience we’ve had at the exit games. the gameplay is always so smooth, and the live interactions add so much to an already perfect room. i always say you can tell the difference between escape companies that do it because they’re passionate about escape rooms vs companies that do it for the money, and the exit games are 1000% passionate about rooms. the two rooms at the exit games are top quality games that are so interesting and interactive that you wish you could do them over and over again. you will not be disappointed with either room!

Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - New OrleansEscape roomIRLthis game single handedly made us never play another game at the escape game ever, which sucks because they’re everywhere. to start, we were paired with another group which who does that anymore? the game started as one theme and ended up a completely different theme. some puzzles were fun and unique but i didn’t like the deconstructed theme or the fact we were with another group.
The BasementIntense Escape - BradentonEscape roomIRLour first room with live actors, and it was memorable! intense escape is always our first company that we recommend to new or experienced people. the room is scary, but fun at the same time. the puzzles were all of good quality, and so were the scares!

Prison BreakThe Escape Game - New OrleansEscape roomIRLi honestly don’t know wether to give this a thumbs up or down. the room was well made and there were cool aspects to it, it just was extremely hard. one of the first rooms we didn’t get out of.
Press Start - CLOSEDEvasive Escape Rooms - SarasotaEscape roomIRLthis room wasn’t very fun. compared to other rooms here it was very poorly made. the flow was ok, but overall i wouldn’t recommend this room i’d say do a different room at unlocked if you’re willing to.
Revenge on the Bayou - CLOSEDClue Carré - New OrleansEscape roomIRLthe set for this room was so cool, when you walk in you’re literally like “ woah “. cool puzzles that we’ve never seen before. the final puzzle was extremely fun and had good effects, would definitely recommend this room.
The Voodoo CemeteryClue Carré - New OrleansEscape roomIRLout of the three rooms i’ve played here this is the middle ground. bayou being the best, vampire being the worst this one was ok but no great. some of the puzzles just didn’t flow very well, but the theming of the room was very cool and there were a few puzzles that were fun. again, like the bayou room the final puzzle was very cool and had great special effects.
Scooby-Doo™ and the Spooky Castle AdventureEscapology - Armature WorksEscape roomIRLi don’t like the gameplay at escapology at all. there’s always one piece that’s super hidden somewhere that you’re scared to look cause you might break something, and all the rooms have the same layout. i always say you can tell the difference between an escape room company that does it because they love escape rooms and an escape room company that does it for the money, escapology is 100% for the money.
The Midnight Heist [prev. Break-In at Bubbas]The Great Escape Room - St PeteEscape roomIRLfun game with a cool backstory! second room we did at st pete escape, and we were not disappointed. the host is friendly and the puzzles are quality.
Dr. BraingoodThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLthe coolest thing about this place is the “ lobby “ you first walk into when you arrive. definitely not traditional escape room play, everything electronic and it was not enjoyable. there’s a part in the game where you have to sort coffee ingredients and we had to do it blindly because the coffee receipt never printed. you would think the game master would come fix it or help us, especially after we asked 100 times if the receipt was supposed to print since we saw it stuck. not sure if they weren’t paying attention or if they didn’t care, both equally as bad. after the game we asked “ was a receipt supposed to print to help us with the coffee puzzle ? “ and the game master said “ yea “ and i said “ oh well it didn’t and it made us take forever on that puzzle because we had to guess everything “ and she wasn’t apologetic the least bit, she literally said “ oh “. disappointing.
Curse of the Mummy [prev. Revenge of the Tomb] - CLOSEDPuzzle Corp. Escape Rooms [prev. America's Escape Game Orlando]Escape roomIRLthis was one of the first games that had more than just a few rooms, so it was super exciting that when we thought we were done, more rooms kept opening up!
Mansion MurderEscapology - Armature WorksEscape roomIRLi don’t like the gameplay at escapology at all. there’s always one piece that’s super hidden somewhere that you’re scared to look cause you might break something, and all the rooms have the same layout. i always say you can tell the difference between an escape room company that does it because they love escape rooms and an escape room company that does it for the money, escapology is 100% for the money.
Vampire Hunter Room - CLOSEDClue Carré - New OrleansEscape roomIRLwhile we liked the bayou room here, we did not like this room. to start, they started our time early because some of our party was there while the rest went to park at a lot. mind you, we were not late there was no reason for the time to be started. next, the room just overall wasn’t very appealing or fun, there was one puzzle where there was no direction you literally just had to guess and see if what you were doing was right.
