Starship: Final Voyage
Five Senses Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
A fantastic room. It scales in difficulty, and the records are based on the group and broken down on each puzzle. The room itself was well done, and the GM/owner clearly has a passion for escape rooms and seems to be well versed in all levels of experience (the novice to the expert).

Not my favorite room, but the group I was with seemed to really like the room. This is a bit more of a modern room, with more gen 2 and 3 puzzles, and a few lock and key.

Did it with two people. A good room, with a lot of interactive parts and clues that weren’t too challenging. A good room for beginners or for people to get their toes wet.

It plays like an escape room, but it’s more of a “play until the time runs out.” Without spoilers, you have a live GM that host the room kind of like a game show, so having a good GM is really important. Our GM was Chris, and he made the room FANTASTIC. We had a group of 5, and there was never a lag in gameplay. The room was fast pace, fun, and we kept moving the whole time. Overall it was a great room.

Love most of the rooms at Escape Room Brighton and this one is no exception. The non lock and key puzzles were pretty unique and fun.

Probably one of my favorite escape rooms I’ve done in southeast Michigan. Great special effects, GM/owner was very nice and welcoming, and had a good variation of Gen 1, 2, and 3 stuff.
The Harry Houdini Trap
The Fifth Wall Escape Rooms

I enjoyed the room, but I wouldn’t say it’s a favorite. The backstory behind the room is a nice nod to some Detroit history, and it’s a good variety of non lock and key components. Overall, a good room-a highlight for 5th Wall in my opinion.
Dr. Sulken’s Laboratory

One of the first rooms I did that I really thoroughly enjoyed. Clues are pretty varied, and the room has a level of interaction that you don’t see very often. Overall a great room!

Unfortunately I think this place was a waste of money. The first room was average for the rooms I’ve done, and I had a good time. The room is marketed as more difficult than most escape rooms, so we were expecting a challenge. But we weren’t expecting things to not work or take exceedingly long. There is a point in the room where you need to decode a message, and the method of decoding broke. We spent around 15 minutes trying our hardest to piece the message together, and had to have our game paused so staff could come in and look at the room. It just ruined the experience. Staff were super nice and accommodating, but our hearts just weren’t in the room after that. When linear rooms have something broken, it messes the entire experience up. And then we had another piece of the game where we had the right “code,” put it in, and it didn’t work…so we wasted another clue for them to tell us we were right, just keep trying and we would get it eventually. Just left a bad taste in our mouths. Aside from that, when we were still in the room, someone came into the room to “reset” the room. Love it when you pay to be immersed in a realistic room for someone to burst in breaking the 4th wall.
UFO: Alien Voyage

Overall I would put this somewhere between like a dislike. I didn’t love it, but the people I did the room with did. So maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt…I’m a sucker for lock and keys, and I feel like there wasn’t a ton of that in there (comparatively).
