Infirmary: Surgical CrisisThe Great Escape Room - ChicagoEscape roomIRLHere to redeem this game from the other reviews. We played this game as a group of nurses and had such a fun time! The story was fun, the puzzles were a good level, and the end was fantastic. I would definitely recommend!!
Le Château du Supplice Éternel [The Castle of Eternal Suffering]Sauve Qui Peut - Saint-JeanEscape roomIRLThis was such a unique experience! A great blend of puzzles, story telling, physical activities , and surprises! You truly are part of this story and your actions move things forward. This had several elements that I have not seen in an escape room (played 660), so that was a plus! It’s absolutely in my top 5! -note- I wouldn’t say it was “scary”, and would say more spooky. I think the 16 yo age minimum is a fair policy for this game.
Vault 1033Howes CavernEscape roomIRLThis is a hidden gem! This region has minimal escape rooms and this one was a very pleasant surprise! The gameplay was great, the set design was very well done, and the puzzles were fun and logical.
Fall Harvest13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLI’m giving it a thumbs up because the set design was very grand and well done, and the puzzles were layered, but overall this was a thumbs down experience for me. There was no story line or guidance with the puzzles (lacked in flow big time) the GM was not super helpful (running several rooms) and the “actor” wasn’t an actor, it was just the GM that you engage with in person a few times and adds nothing to the story. The puzzles were very intricate (which I’m a fan of) but felt confusing at times. The ending was very anticlimactic for 13th which left the experience even more disappointing. I wanted to love this room after playing campground, but that didn’t end up being the case.

Heresy: 1897Doors of DivergenceEscape roomIRLThe experience was interesting, and the actor did a great job, but it wasn’t as interactive as I expected. The environment looked good, but it’s in a warehouse and you can hear the other game happening, which made following the storyline difficult. The puzzles were good, but nothing super unique (and sometimes lacked guidance) It was confusing regarding the “choices” elements. Lots of potential. We liked our introduction character at the bar a lot!
A Not So Fairytale EndingLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis game was pure magic. It really succeeded with invoking happiness and making you smile! Everything you encountered had a purpose, and the method used to engage with sections was great. The storyline was never lost, and the puzzles all made sense and were themed well. The owners of this business were so friendly and welcoming that it just enhanced the experience even more. We just did a Carolinas escape tour and this room truly stood out.
The Benefactor's TestPayDay EscapeEscape roomIRLGreat room with logical game play. Everything was thematic, and followed the story line. A really cool location. We’re excited for the vault!
Marcheurs de rêves [The Dreamwalkers]Cabinet MysteriisEscape roomIRLAmazing set design and story line. Such a fun theme, very immersive, and great use of live actor!
Le Jour du Jugement [Judgement Day]EliviascapeEscape roomIRLThe game was unique, and fun to play, but some parts just seemed like they were forced. Some of it felt old, outside of the theming. The ending was interesting, but lacked direction. There was an incident in another room while we were playing which I think may have hindered our experience. One section was also broken which left us lost and confused for a period of time.
En Grève - Chez Mimi Cupcakes60 Minutes Jeux D'Évasion - Montée MassonEscape roomIRLThe set design and environment in this game was great (all the way to the smells) The characters were fun and the concept of the game was great! I wasn’t a fan of the puzzles in this game. It heavily relied on re-use of information, and I thought there wasn’t much direction for puzzle solutions. I wanted to like this more than I did in the end. The ending was cute!
Retenue à Riverdale - CLOSEDParadox42Escape roomIRLWe played all 4 of the games at this business. This was by far my favorite. Great puzzle flow (not overly complicated) and fun story line. The environment and set design of this game was fantastic! Very unique! Absolutely would recommend!
El Exorcista [The Exorcist]No Exit IlioupoliEscape roomIRLThis game was amazing! You literally play through the movie while also playing a very clever, and scary escape room. The actors in this room were SO impressive, really making the entire experience stand out! This game deserves its spot on the TERPECA list!
Wanted: Dead or AliveNo Exit IlioupoliEscape roomIRLThis game was so much fun! The actors/character really added to the experience! Every moment of this game was well thought out, making the game flow perfectly! Although it was on the easy side, our group still had a great time and was laughing the entire time! Great way to change things up from the other terrifying rooms in the area.
Παρεκκλήσι & Κατακόμβες [Chapel & Catacombs]Lockhill - Nea IoniaEscape roomIRLAbsolutely incredible experience! The story line for this room is fun, and then exhilarating. The game was disorienting, which added to the environment. The characters in the game did an amazing job at helping move the game forward. The puzzles in this room were great! Very straight forward and we didn’t require any help aside from the first puzzle. Definitely play if you’re in Athens!
The Ghost WriterHorror ProductionsEscape roomIRLThis has been my favorite room in Athens so far! This is like hide n seek and don’t take a breath had a baby! This had such a strong story line, a lot of theatrical breaks, and some absolutely terrifying moments. The acting was so strong! I felt like I was part of this performance the entire time. The puzzles were also great, making this feel more like an escape room. This deserves a higher spot on TERPECA for sure! Of note, the physical contact in this room can go pretty far, so be sure to let them know in the beginning if that’s not for you. They were totally respectful the whole time!
Don't Take A BreathVerone Live Action Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was a phenomenal experience! It was a great blend of scary, fun, and theatrics. The game play was fantastic, and allowed you to play through the storyline while interacting with the set. I am so impressed and think this game deserves all of the hype it gets, and then some!
Hide N SeekBraniac Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was the scariest experience I’ve ever had! Very unpredictable at times. Visibility was hard sometimes, but seemed appropriate in some spots. This felt more like an “experience” rather than an escape room, and the puzzles were awkward at times, but still fun once we got there. The actors were amazing and I felt completely immersed the whole time. The ending is seriously 1 of a kind! Would definitely recommend!!! This room deserves its spot on TERPECA
The Ring: Samara | OriginsEscape Room RomaEscape roomIRLThis was a fun room to play while in Rome! The actor did a great job at leading us through the story line. The puzzles were good, but nothing unique. (Some small leaps, but guided again by the actor) The environment (sound and lights) was good, but the areas could use some love. Overall would definitely reccomend!
Shhh!The Escape WarehouseEscape roomIRLThis location was fantastic!!! 10/10! We had just played 13th Gate and were completely blown away by this company. We played all 3 games but Shhh! Really stood out to us as a team. The set design, game play and customer service were truly top notch!
