The Blind Tiger SpeakeasyEnter The Enigma [prev. Aha! Escape Rooms]Escape roomIRLReally great room, staff was awesome, the flow and purpose of the room were great! Did it with three people, it was a lot of fun.
Mansion MurderEscapology - Armature WorksEscape roomIRLWe loved the theme and the setup- there were just a few things we didn’t love. There was one puzzle that we were stuck on for quite a while even with a clue but we finally figured it out. The other thing was it wasn’t clear/didn’t flow with which keypad to enter code in when you figured it out. Also, a few of the things that popped open or released weren’t obvious and GM had to nudge us to tell us what’ opened’ then we had to pull it. There was only one other hiccup which was no fault of the GM but the emergency alarm went off for the entire business building and we had to evacuate during our game until fire dept came and cleared us to go back in. The GM did add two minutes to account for the time of confusion about what was happening and evacuating. The 10 -15 mins interruption kind of knocked us out of flow but we did get to the last clue when time ran out- just needed another minute or so…
The CabinNumber One Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe cabin was a great room- everything flowed and even with just the two of us, we didn’t experience any difficulties and kept it moving. The props were great.
The ShedNumber One Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSo. Overall this room was good- challenging but not impossible. The problem we had wasn’t with the room itself but what happened before we went into room. We had booked both cabin and shed a few days before to do back to back. Normally you would flow from one right into the other- but there had been a mix up with the payments- when we were charged for our reservation they only put the charges through for one room, so they said we still owed- after about 15-20 mins of back and forth, we resolved it, room was paid for and we could start. They said they would give us ‘extra time’ to get the full hour since we started about 7-8 mins late. So when we started- our mindset and ‘flow’ from the previous room had been disrupted and threw us off- we were missing basic stuff that we would normally get. We finally got back into the groove and ran out of time! A little disappointing because we know our ability and if we had flowed one room to the next I’m sure we would’ve escaped or at least gotten further! Also there was some time where we had to ask 4 times for a hint and no one answered (eventually they did) but I’m not sure if they were actively watching/listening because the hint they gave us was something we had already figured out- so we lost a little time there. So honest mixup on n the beginning, it was resolved and we played but feel like we would’ve done much better had the experience been smoother. The room was definitely challenging and put together well.
ChainedNumber One Escape RoomEscape roomIRLGreat room! Very different than any other one we’ve done. Really takes good communication and teamwork.
Pins & Needles Tattoo ParlorThe Escape Ventures - Clearwater [prev. The Exit Games]Escape roomIRLBest room ever. So incredibly impressed with the setup and execution from beginning to end! Fun and very realistic- without giving too much away- amazing experience. Highly recommend for seasoned players- would set the bar really high for new players!
UFO: Go For LaunchThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLThe whole atmosphere of the Bureau was super cool. UFO was a fun room and my first experience playing with no locks /keys. You really had to think and the attention to detail was amazing. Will definitely return to do the other rooms here. Had one malfunction but the GM credited time for the malfunctioning operation.
Spoopy's Ghoulish Graveyard GameshowDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWow wow wow!!! This game was hilarious! We laughed so hard playing it, it was so much fun, the props were amazing, and despite the name there was nothing scary about it….. great flow- and again, it was truly the funniest room I’ve done. So much so I want to do it again just to take my family and watch them enjoy it! We WILL be playing the other rooms at Doldricks!
Birds Aren't Real - CLOSEDEscaped in TimeEscape roomIRLDid not really enjoy this room. It was overly complicated to get into the storyline and although it had some great props, the flow of the functions was lacking. It was almost like it was too much to do/figure out in the time allotted and there was a lot of confusion. Maybe just not our genre (storyline).
Wiseguy LoungeExit 4 - CollingswoodEscape roomIRLThis room was so cool! Loved the layout and the flow, the storyline was great! Very well laid out and the clues were great. Would definitely recommend!!
Speakeasy NouveauQuicksand Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis game was fun, had a skeptical friend play with us and she loved it! The story was good and the props were good. Not too difficult, but enough to press the clock… would do the other rooms here as well.
The Voodoo CemeteryClue Carré - New OrleansEscape roomIRLLoved this room- planned a trip to NO and watched the American Horror Story season that featured NO prior to going and was so excited to be able to tie some of the details of this room to the show/ had familiarity with the characters and storylines. Very well put together room- GM was great and really all the staff at Clue Carre. Would definitely recommend.
The Haunted Hotel [ex Escape Artist: The Final Seance]The Great Escape Room - St PeteEscape roomIRLThis venue was great. Games in the lobby, and chances to win free games. The room was good, very well laid out. Loved the storyline. Attention to detail was great.
The Night Out At The Bad Girl, Anichka - CLOSEDCode To EscapeEscape roomIRLDid not enjoy this room. Not enough details, the flow of the room was poor, the storyline was confusing. Would not recommend.
The Carnival Heist - CLOSEDClue Carré - New OrleansEscape roomIRLThis room is really good- I was pretty bummed out because due to weather we arrived late, really late. So we only had about 40 minutes and there were a few beginners in our group so no way we were going to get out in that time. A lot of details and a great theme, I would’ve loved to finish this room- and it was my 4th room at Clue Carre, this is a great business.
The CursePremier Escape AdventuresEscape roomIRLLove love love this room! This venue overall is great, talked with the owner for quite a while and the detail and love put into this place is apparent and the operations of the room was impressive. Have to have 4 people minimum in order to play due to physical operations. Would definitely recommend!

Crisis At The North Pole - CLOSEDPremier Escape AdventuresEscape roomIRLThis was the first room we introduced our kids to escape rooms with. They all LOVED it. Super cute storyline, very family friendly(our youngest was 4 and loved helping). This venue is great and the owners are such wonderful people who designed the rooms themselves. Would highly recommend.
Inventor's Attic - CLOSEDEscape My RoomEscape roomIRLI love this venue! The details as soon as you walk in are great!! Inventors attic was a very detailed and teamwork driven room- we had a great experience but you definitely need at least 4 players. Would do other rooms here, staff was amazing.
Servants of SleightThe Escape Ventures - Clearwater [prev. The Exit Games]Escape roomIRLThis is by far one of the best rooms I’ve played!! The details were impeccable, the immersion was great- very unexpected flow and would recommend 10/10! If you do this as one of your first rooms you will be spoiled and it may ruin other less detailed/immersed rooms LOL
