Room 172Exit 4 Escape Rooms - ColliervilleEscape roomIRLWe escaped Room 172 with just 2:03 left on the clock, so it definitely kept us challenged right to the end. The room has a lot of potential, but a few missing essentials held back the immersion and the overall experience. The biggest issue was flow. It wasn't always clear where to go next or which puzzles connected, which led to stretches of second-guessing instead of momentum. The room also lacked a note-taking tool like a Boogie Board, so we had to rely on outside tools that pulled us out of the experience. It's a small addition, but it makes a real difference in keeping players in the world of the game. On the positive side, our game master was present and attentive throughout. With some tweaks to the puzzle flow, clearer progression cues, and a few in-world tools for players, Room 172 could easily go from good to great. Worth playing, and I'd be curious to come back after updates.

About Last Night... [Immersive Experience] - CLOSEDPatchwork AdventuresEscape roomOther Pop upOur game master, Max, was incredibly enthusiastic and truly brought the game together. My group and I were amazed by the amount of work that went into creating the room and all of its moving parts—we’re still talking about it! I highly recommend gathering a group of 20 if you can, but the experience is just as attainable and enjoyable with the 5-person maximum.
Motel MollyOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLI loved the concept of the room. Puzzles are solvable even for a beginner. The story line and plot flowed very well in the room. If you’re not afraid of putting yourself in situations definitely nominate someone in your group beforehand before the clock runs out. Staff was amazing!

Hidden TempleClockwise Escape Room - OaklandEscape roomIRLReally good room with its set of challenge and immersive. Team of 4 is a good sweet spot but if you want to get on the leader board try (5). Divide, communicate and conquer
