    Not bad for a chain escape room! Really nice set design and aside from one pretty rough puzzle in the middle, everything else was really fun.

    A very elaborately done room with some good scares. This room is somewhat tame by European standards, but on the scarier side for the US. Set design is fantastic and the various props and puzzles were very very well done. At some points, it felt like I was in a Japanese schoolgirl horror fever dream and I suspect that was basically the point. Easily the best horror game in the Bay Area, which sounds like faint praise because there really aren't that many, but this one is top notch!

    First of all, I love this theme - it's the cutest and very well-expressed through the set. This room has the best set of all the rooms at clueQuest. Lots of very fun cooperative experiences and puzzles. My one beef is that the digital puzzle is a little fiddly in terms of the controls, but other than I highly recommend this room.

    I liked the concept of maximizing your take rather than purely going for time, although at some point, we just decided we were done. It's a nice change from normal escape room logic/goals. The room is getting on in years, but there are some nice puzzles there. I think the last room probably needs some refurbishment in terms of the materials (first part is fine). Fun, but it didn't knock my socks off.

    Battle for Britain is my favorite escape room in London and I like it so much, I've actually done it twice, albeit over six years apart (once at the old location and once with an escape-room loving friend in the current location). None of the puzzles use technology that wasn't available during the time period the room is set in. The puzzles are lovely, very well done and the fact that you are trying to stop as many aerial attacks as possible (as opposed to linearly advancing through a room) gives the room a very different feel.

    This room is very high production value and the story is really lovely. However, the showcase set pieces almost lead to you to wish for a bit more. As with all of the escape plan rooms, the puzzles are quite lovely - I think this room would be quite eye opening for the crowd that is a little newer to escape rooms. For the experienced crowd, it's good room, but feels a bit lightweight when all is said and done.

    A solid escape room experience. I wouldn't say it would knock your socks off, but everything is very well done: the set is fun to interact with, the theming is quite strong and all the puzzles are good. My host was additionally fluent in German, which really added to atmosphere of having guards constantly trying to catch you in the act of escaping. 🤣

    This room is charmingly lowtech, but any escape room themed after breaking into the officer's club to steal beer is a winner in my book. Lots of creative puzzles, all mechanical, in a slightly cramped space. Note that if you did Battle for Britain in EscapePlan's previous locale, some of the puzzles from that room have a new room in Roll Out the Barrel, but there are lots of new challenges as well.

    A nice variety of puzzles, but just not quite as sophisticated on all levels than the other rooms at clueQuest. The room is more linear than the others as well, so you can get bottlenecked. Still a wonderful theme and a very fun room.

    Very fun! The clueQuest daffy sense of humor is front and center in this room, which is packed with challenges. The whole experience doesn't quite come together as elegantly as it does in origenes, but there's heaps to do. The digital experiences can be a little fiddly.
