Alphabetically
A Study in Yellow
Baker Street Escapes - Midtown
Escape room
IRL
Really enjoyed this game. A cool atmosphere, and good integration of the puzzles with the story. Tough for 2 to finish in time, but the very nice GM gave us a few minutes to finish up. Very good all around experience!
Back to the Future: Outatime
Universal Studios Orlando
Escape room
IRL
We much preferred this game to the Jurassic Park one. Very detailed sets, and a variety of puzzles. I don’t love this format, but escape room fans will probably find this one more satisfying of the 2.
Click 'N Glitch Arcade Palace
The Escape Ventures - Port Charlotte
Escape room
IRL
We really enjoyed this game. As people who grew up in the 80s, there were lots of familiar elements. The puzzles flowed very well from one to another, and there was a good variety with some fun surprises. Highly recommended!
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' Plotz
Doldrick's Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
This is a visually super cool game, and a very inventive usage of a small space. I personally liked the somewhat cheesy animations, but it’s not going to be for everyone. There were a few puzzles that felt tedious. But generally a cool, very immersive experience
Cutthroat Cavern
13th Gate Escape
Escape room
IRL
As everyone else has said, the set really is extraordinary. Definitely worth doing the game for that reason. There was a good assortment of puzzles, and one mechanism we’d never seen before which was cool. That being said, I have to admit to being disappointed. Part of the reason is that a technical problem robbed us of the biggest dramatic reveal. And part of the reason is just that my expectations were so high. I’d recommend that anyone thinking about doing this game avoid watching the promotional video, which gives away too much that is cool. Also some of the puzzles were just kind of annoying. The clue system (not iPads) was frustrating too. Ultimately I’m glad I did this game, but for all its fancy reputation there are games I’ve definitely enjoyed a lot more.
Death Note
Trapped - Ajax
Escape room
IRL
A pretty average room. There were a couple of clever puzzles of a type we haven’t seen before. Some of the connections felt a bit random, with one in particular that we would never have guessed. There was an over reliance on information from the computer—opening up files in Windows and reading their contents isn’t very exciting in an in person game. But we enjoyed the room nonetheless.
Doll Island
Durham Escape Rooms
Escape room
IRL
A cool set and neat idea. Unfortunately the technical issues rendered the game effectively unplayable.
Dracula's Castle
Escape Room Extreme
Escape room
IRL
Super duper linear, but we actually enjoyed that. Great denouement!
Easy Bake Coven
Niagara Escapement
Escape room
IRL
Really enjoyed this game. It’s very linear, but we actually like that. A good assortment of puzzles, and relatively few locks. Some nice features in the set. And extremely pleasant staff. Recommended!
End Of The Bleeping World
Niagara Escapement
Escape room
IRL
Lots to do in this game! Definitely recommend a “divide and conquer” approach, especially for the last room. Some clever medium-tech puzzles we hadn’t seen before. Super kind and friendly staff.
