Carbon: 3708Mission Escape GamesEscape roomIRLExcellent gameplay. Surprisingly difficult room. All the tech worked perfectly and seamlessly. I was impressed by the amount of thought and effort put into this room. Highly recommended, and possibly the best escape room in NYC.
The Seventh RoomDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLThis is an EXCELLENT room. If you are looking for a scary thematic experience with continued lore from previous rooms, this is the one. Fantastic structure and set design. A variety of creative puzzles that required all sorts of solves. This is the best room in Dare2Escape and possibly the best one in Florida.
The Video StoreDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLSomething about the dvd store nostalgia just hits different. This was a surprisingly fun room with many unique puzzles solves. There’s so much to enjoy in the room that you might end up forgetting your actual mission - to escape! Highly recommended
The ArchiveDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLThe structure of the room is very creative and led to an immersive story. I love how it continues the Tillman lore (as all the games at Dare2Escape do). There were some difficult puzzles here! Everything is well done, from the theming to the puzzle variety to the physicality. Highly recommended.
At The Hop Ice Cream ShoppeDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLThis was my favorite room at Dare 2 Escape. The set is incredible! You really feel like you’re at a retro ice cream parlor. Puzzles were great as always. It’s not scary at all, yet they still manage to weave in the Tilman lore.
Camp Harvest Moon: Prank Wars '92Dare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLThis is the easiest room at Dare2Escape. The puzzles are mostly 1-step. Cute theme and plenty of fun.
The AsylumDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLThis is a scary room! The set design was fantastic and there were interesting puzzles. Love the theme throughout.
The RingmasterDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLSolid room overall. Interesting puzzles, cool set, consistent theming. Middle of the pack for Dare2Escape, which is to say it’s quite good as the company puts out fantastic games.
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLVery chaotic story fitting of the room name. Stylistic. The puzzles were a bit too linear for my taste as there was a lot of “process” involved rather than puzzle-solving.
Captain Spoopy Bones and the Magnificent Quest For Some Other Pirate's Treasure!Doldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLGreat set design. Spoopy bones has a slapstick comedy feel to it. The puzzles themselves were mostly straightforward but well constructed.
Super Bomb Squad: Commandos AwesomeDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLBest room at Doldrick’s. Love the tech used here (no spoilers!), and there were some creative puzzles. Great set design as always. Highly recommended.
Red Sled Redemption at the Holly Jolly Holiday Hubcap RepairDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLGreat theme and design. It was cool to see how many puzzles you could fit onto a sleigh. However, puzzles were on the easier side and had various “process” parts that just took time.
Spoopy's Ghoulish Graveyard GameshowDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSpoopy bones is back! Set theme is on point. Puzzles were not difficult but were entertaining. There’s a lot of fun little surprises.
Only Murders in the Building The Escape Game - NYC MidtownEscape roomIRLTons of references to the show. If you like escape rooms and want a thematic play on Only Murders, then you will love this. They even have Howard giving you the mission! As usual, The Escape Game put up another solid gameplay experience with a set of logical and interesting puzzles. My only gripe is that if you have already played The Heist, the room is the same. Puzzles are obviously different, but there are a lot of similarities between the two.
Men In Suits (MIS)Maze Rooms - LAXEscape roomIRLThematic room with unique puzzles. A lot of fun cultural references. You don’t need to know them to do the room but they add extra flair. One of the props had an issue which cost us quite a bit of time so we didn’t escape unfortunately, but otherwise a great experience.
ExtractionThe Curium ExperienceEscape roomIRLPhysical elements were very creative and memorable. They allow you to skip them for medical reasons but I strongly recommend doing them as they really add to the immersion. Game master was exceptional. She was energetic and cheerful which made the whole experience quite enjoyable. The game mechanics were unique and something I had never seen before.
Wanted: Dead or AliveNo Exit IlioupoliEscape roomIRLA lot of unique rooms and clever entrances to said rooms. Excellent live actor who was a joy to be around. Great range of puzzles, some tricky some straightforward.
The Last WillMystery Loft Escape Rooms ChaniaEscape roomIRLOld room but fully functional. There was one number puzzle in particular that was frustrating - I felt it was too “out there” in terms of solving it. Otherwise it was an average room but still a solid experience.
Montauk ProjectMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLThe set design is less cohesive than The Bird. It’s meant to be that way because you’re traveling through portals, but that felt disappointing. However, the puzzles themselves are extremely creative and well executed. I thoroughly enjoyed solving them and that made the experience worthwhile. GM was upbeat and left a positive impression.
The BirdMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLThe best set design I have ever seen. Puzzles are well done and thoughtfully integrated into the room. GM was sweet and had a positive attitude. Overall had such a great experience that we knew we had to come back and do their other rooms.
