Abandoned BasementThe Hour RoomEscape roomIRLThe game literally takes place in a dingy basement. The room was not well kept up. There’s an actual toilet in the room which was pretty gross. There are way too many red herrings and the puzzles don’t all make sense.
Arizona Shootout - Most WantedEscapology - Maryland ParkwayEscape roomIRLOne of the first rooms I have done. Hindsight it was pretty typical, but it was all new to me back then as a newbie.
Budapest ExpressEscapology - Maryland ParkwayEscape roomIRLOne of the best theming for an Escapology room. It was a little on the more challenging side but I remembered it being fun.
ChinatownQuicksand Escape GamesEscape roomIRLSome good theming, puzzles were pretty standard. Overall fun room but the Diner was more immersive.
Deja VuEscape EraEscape roomIRLHere with my partner, friends and their family. We played it on the normal mode (they offer an advanced mode with more puzzles). We started the on time. Our game master was helpful and responsive. The game was linear and standard combo/number locks galore. Not high tech but we still found it enjoyable.
Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)The Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLSimply amazing. Very well themed rooms with some innovative puzzles. I would say a little less tech than the prison room but still top level as far as escape rooms go. It’s fun breaking some of the traditional no no rules for escape room. Our game master was fun and helpful. Post game free sodas are a nice touch.
Exit ProtocolThe Unlockables - PowayEscape roomIRLPretty difficult game given the sheer amount of info presented around you. Some red herrings which isn’t my favorite. Some higher tech puzzles. Game master was helpful and offered hints as needed. We got out within an hour with 3 players.
Flynn's ArcadeBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLAnother excellent game from this company. This is an excellent game with a varied amount of high tech and physical challenges. There are a lot of clever puzzles. It is a lot to do for two people but we were able to get through. One of my frequent complaints with escape rooms is the amount of time given to finish the room. Many times I feel like there is too little time given for too many puzzles. But I do think 75 minutes is a fair amount of time given to finish this jammed packed room. There are lots of wow moments. We had a great time.
Gold RushThe Escape Game - ChicagoEscape roomIRLThe room was well themed. I like the design of the cabin. There was good use of technology with some fun interactive elements.
High School DetentionThe Unlockables - Kearny MesaEscape roomIRLPretty standard room without too many bells and whistles. The 90s theme and music was a nice touch.
