Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLThis was definitely fun & unique experience from the moment you arrive. The theming was fantastic & the world in which we played the game was awesome. It's almost what you would expect when it comes to a criminal world & it got everyone involved & moving. This is definitely a must do if you're in the area.
Lab RatHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLThis room was hilarious & fun! A great take on the lab experiments except this time, we're the rats! There was so much to explore in this room and the music, lighting, and the special effects really put this all together. The story was funny and even when I thought I knew where this game was headed, I was proved wrong. This is a fun room to do for all ages.
The LadderHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLI wanted to like this. I REALLY wanted to like this, but after numerous mechanical breakdowns (including an entire room that did not work) our experience was quite the let down. Granted this is a fun concept and it is not a traditional escape room, I just felt that there was way too much involved, a-lot of repetitive tasks, and for the price point it's kinda hard to see this as a room that I would like to come back and play just to see the other options.
Thai PrisonMindEscapeEscape roomIRLI've read about this escape room a couple times but finally had the chance to play it. This was a fun room especially at the start and our game master Helena made the whole experience a great time. The puzzles definitely made you think and there were some that made me look back at the camera and talk with Helena for comedic purposes but all in all it was fun breaking out of prison again!
A Quest For Freedom - CLOSEDOlde City Escape GamesEscape roomIRLGreat theming & set up for making us feel we were back in 1776! Only thing I wish is that the ending had a bit more "grandiose" to it but the gameplay was fun overall.
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLDo you want a game that you will talk about & quote for months after you've played and want to go back and play again? THIS IS IT? I did not think that this would be one of my top games but this game was hilariously fun & created so well! There were so many twists and turns and surprises and quotable moments and moments that had me cracking up in the parking lot. If you're looking for a fun game to play that will have you laughing and begging for more? Go experience Crazy Train!
Lab at Loch NessThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLThis was my second time heading to The Bureau after a fun experience with The Puppet Heist. As much as I love The Bureau, this time I was a little heartbroken. The opening experience wasn't there which really sets the mood for the company, but they managed to make it work with what they had in place while they are revamping it. The game itself was a unique story that I haven't come across yet and the scenery was impressive as always. The gameplay flowed alright, there was maybe only 1 puzzle that we questioned but unfortunately towards the later part of the game, we had a technical malfunction which set us back a few good minutes and really affected our flow of the game. The ending was cool but I wish it was a little bit more visible. All in all, I enjoyed the game but so far Puppet Heist is still at the top of my list.
Storyteller's SecretBoxarooEscape roomIRLI could write a review.... but I can't.... I don't know how.... I was absolutely and genuinely speechless after playing this room. I was told so much how I had to play this room and everybody was right, I'm so glad I did! From the story, to the reveals, to the gameplay. It's been so long since I DIDNT want a game to end... I wish it would have kept going. Boxaroo has set the bar high and I've been ruined in my escape journey that I want to play it again even though I just did. IT WAS JUST THAT GOOD! And what I loved about it is that it can be adaptable for all stages of escape players. There's only thing left to say: Go discover the Storyteller's secret!
The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLThis room right here...... I..... I don't even know how to describe this room. From the theming to the storyline, this game really drew me in to what it had to offer. I don't want too say much because there's a twist to this game that had me go "OH HECK NAH" but I had to play because I just needed to know..... "what did I get myself into???" This is definitely one of my favorite all-time games and I cant wait to see what else Red Fox has to offer on our next visit.
The ObservatoryThe Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLWe didn't know about this place until we got a recommendation from another escape room to try this place out. So we rearranged our schedule and made time to stop out and IM SO GLAD WE DID! This game really made you think and there was definitely plenty of puzzles to keep you busy and then.........y'all..... I can't tell you what happened but there's a part of the game that will blow your mind. This is definitely a must play room!
The Midnighters - CLOSEDOlde City Escape GamesEscape roomIRLLoved the aesthetics of the lobby and the hospitality of the amazing staff. Esza was our game master and gave great instructions starting our game and setting the mood for our story. I loved the logical flow of the puzzles and the soundtrack was amazing throughout the game. The puzzles were fun and even felt a sense of urgency. One spot did make me jump and laughed right after which is a great sign of decor and fun. Definitely will be back!
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - King of PrussiaEscape roomIRLNever have ever.... left an escape room, shaking with adrenaline! This was THE BEST escape room I have ever done! From the theming, down to the gameplay, if you're new to The Escape Game Franchise, you NEED to start with Prison Break. This game was nothing short of incredible.
