EndangeredEscape Games at the RiverEscape roomIRLI never thought I would say this about an escape room, but I'm SO glad we had 8 people for this. I can't imagine getting it all done with fewer than 6. There are many separate puzzles that don't connect with each other, so you can really easily split up and figure everything out. I didn't even get to touch some puzzles, which is fine because the ones I did were super engaging and satisfying! It definitely helps teaming up on some of the tougher ones. So much fun, my heart is racing!!
The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLLoved this room! Very creative and original theming and puzzle design. The puzzles aren’t super linear so it’s easy to split up and take on different parts of the room at the same time. We’re pretty experienced so they gave us the more challenging puzzles and few hints, which kept us engaged and challenged for almost the full hour, which I love! This was my first room where the gamemaker could actively alter the difficulty (aside from giving hints), and it felt good to know afterwards that we were doing a good job and earned the more difficult puzzles. Our gamemaker Liliana was so kind and gave us a lot of praise!! :) There’s some kind of gross gore, so be careful if you’re sensitive to that. I was grossed out, but after completing the room I appreciate its presence and it made the room very immersive. Highly recommend!
Insane AsylumPanIQ Room - Long BeachEscape roomIRLThis was so much fun! Very immersive room and a good mix of tricky to figure out, as well as physically challenging puzzles that take a lot of dexterity. Highly recommend. Mars and Jenna were amazing hosts and shared lots of recommendations as well!
The Clock TowerEscape the Room - BostonEscape roomIRLI did this room as a group of 2, which I only recommend if you’re both very experienced and you are willing to accept some hints — we barely finished in time. The puzzles are pretty challenging. My only real complaint is that if you do some of the puzzles out of order, you won’t know you’re doing it right because you need to do something else before the next puzzle can notify you that you completed it.
The Great Candy ChallengeEscape Games at the RiverEscape roomIRLCute with a handful of puzzle ideas I’d never seen before! A few of the clues felt like kind of a stretch to understand but nothing too outrageous.
