Operation Braindead : A Henchman's TaleAdventure Mode Unlocked Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe have enjoyed all three rooms here - things are well thought out, there are little easter eggs and a sense of humor in the littlest of details. Extremely satisfying experience (I think it would be even if we didn't escape, as it was just fun to engage with the puzzles) We didn't hit those points where you feel like you're spinning wheels and getting nowhere, the was plenty to look at and play with. The decor was also immersive enough that you felt like you were in the place you were supposed to be without background reminders of the outside reality.
Making a Magician: Tricks of the TradeAdventure Mode Unlocked Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room did not disappoint me, which has become quite uncommon. The puzzles made sense while fitting the theme, functioned properly and nothing in the room left us saying "well that was complete nonsensical and a stretch"- while also not being obvious. Overall a very satisfying experience that had us talking about how soon we can make their other room.
The GateEscape Room NoviEscape roomIRLWe found it very satisfying, the first in a LONG time we hadn't escaped, we didn't seem to have enough time as two people. If anyone in your group is hard of hearing, especially single sided deaf or has a sensory difficulty with hearing, there are parts of this room that will be frustrating and parts which they will not know they are missing. Also very low lighting and overhead lights don't work so there wasn't a work around.

DraculaMastermind Escape Games - Schaumburg [prev. Odyssey Escape Games]Escape roomIRLIt was a pleasant experience. The game master was great. It was perfect for needing something to help us relax after a really stressful morning.
The VaultMichigan Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThey do this room two ways - break in or break out. We've done both. As others have said, there are a lot of tech issues in this one. It is really cool, immersive, and great but the tech is a pain. The first time we ever went, it was malfunctioning so bad they had us go home and come back because they couldn't fix it. I believe it's getting better with time and it's sad to see the isssues because you can just tell it should feel awesome. If traveling or this is a thing you're doing while passing through, hit some of their other rooms. I would give it a try if you're local and you have time to re-do it as it also has features now where you can beat your scores.
Cabin in the WoodsFenton Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis review has been edited due to a cease and desist letter. We would not recommend this experience or location for a very long list of reasons, mostly involving actual game play and setup of the room. It's unclear that we are allowed to state our opinions of the room setup, gameplay or decor outside of stating that this was by far the most disappointing room any in our party had experienced in all of our years escaping. Actually bad enough that more than one of us was upset by the general encounter and experience for multiple days.
