EXTERMINATED: Terror at the JunkyardEvasive Escape Rooms - SarasotaEscape roomIRLThis room was amazing!!! Great use of space and not terribly scary. We were running late and they were still able to accommodate us and are super super nice. Acting was so well done and puzzles were interesting.
Seeking Sasquatch - CLOSEDPuzzle Room PittsburghEscape roomIRLSuch a great room! The atmosphere is awesome and they did a really good job making you feel like you’re in the forest. Like others, my only complaint is the lighting, but we got through it.
The Study - CLOSEDPuzzle Room PittsburghEscape roomIRLPretty good escape room! Some of the tech was a little off and I guess we opened up one of the puzzles really early on when we were supposed to do it later? Not sure how that happened. Our GM was great and it is definitely a cute spin on a usually typical escape room theme.
Inventor's ParadoxEnter the ImaginariumEscape roomIRLThis game play was fun! The entrance and first room were really quite unique. Puzzles were challenging for the two of us, but the GM said we did okay as a group of two and was willing to accommodate for certain puzzles. Would probably be easier with 4. I think the only let down is that this room is pretty hyped up, but I’m not sure if it lived up to the hype. Certain aspects of it were very cool while others fell flat.
TUTXscape! MorgantownEscape roomIRLGREAT ROOM! It is so fun and unique and I loved the puzzles in here. We were able to escape with a group of two so I think doable. I liked their spin on the Egyptian room theme and they had unique puzzles. A must visit!
Catching CaponeXscape! MorgantownEscape roomIRLOne of my favorite rooms in the US EVER!!! The theming was so fun and they did amazing with the set design. Puzzles were awesome and was great for group of two. A must visit!!!
Subway EscapeEscape Room PittsburghEscape roomIRLThis room was pretty cool! Like others mentioned, the tech was pretty cool and immersive. The staff here were really awesome and let us play even though we were late because of traffic. :) The puzzles were not really my cup of tea, but I think it’s 100% worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Crane ManorClue IQEscape roomIRLAwesome room! Puzzles were fun. I think the set was kind of meh but it fit the story and overall vibe of the room. Some creepy elements and loud noises, but No jump scares so all my fellow anxious friends should be okay :)
The Last VampireEncrypted Escape - West ReadingEscape roomIRLSick room!! Had great theming, awesome puzzles and pretty good tech. We did this with two (which is tricky) but we were able to complete it with maybe 2 hints. For my anxious friends, there were some tense moments with mild jump scares, but nothing too terrible. The GM was great and answered my questions about the scare level because I was nervous. I highly recommend!
ExcaliburClue IQEscape roomIRLThis room was really fun! It had a great theme and set design. I thought the puzzles were a little confusing, but could be because I wasn’t looking clearly (had a headache while doing this room).
The Galactic War: The Invasion Of The XarnaiEncrypted Escape - West ReadingEscape roomIRLThis was a good room! Somewhat unique puzzles and set was awesome- really felt like you were in a spaceship. Space themed rooms are not really my vibe and had some frustrating / confusing moments in the room, but mainly that’s my personal opinion/experience. Would still recommend visiting!
The Midnighters - CLOSEDOlde City Escape GamesEscape roomIRLAwesome room! I loved the puzzles and interesting theme. probably my favorite room at olde city escape room
A Quest For Freedom - CLOSEDOlde City Escape GamesEscape roomIRLSuch a good room! I think it has some great history to it and is great for those who are exploring Philly. I actually thought the puzzles were a little tricky, but was doable with two people.
The Pentex ConspiracyMass EscapeEscape roomIRLLoved this room! Everyone at massescape is super friendly and love how they get into character. The puzzles were pretty straight forward and fun. Nothing scary and no jump scares. Their concept of providing extra bonus puzzles for extra points is really fun (but the bonuses are kind of hard lol). Highly recommend!!!!
The Eckstein ExperimentMass EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room is pretty difficult and we did not escape. I would, however, go back to re do it! I think it would be better to have a theme of people (maybe 3-4) instead of 2. The theming was cool and the puzzles were cool too! There were no jump scares for any of my fellow anxious friends
Distrito 111 [District 111]Unreal Room Escape Sant Martí – BarcelonaEscape roomIRLThis room was crazy! Very physical and tense environment- felt very immersive. I liked the puzzles, but it was very tiring imo. there was one teeny jumpscare, but I’m pretty sure it was just the GM messing with us. Awesome room!
Bites MotelBite The FlyEscape roomIRLThis room was SCARY! They have definitely made significant changes as previous google reviews mention tension setting not being scary at all. We originally asked for tension mode, but changed when we got there, but still terrifying (in my opinion). My partner, who enjoys scary things, said I’d be okay because of the website saying they’re not trying to scare you and the reviews, but even agrees afterwards, that it is definitely scary. There are also some gory moments. Although I was scared the whole time, this experience was really something else. They really built a whole house inside of a building. Our GM/actor was awesome and the second the room ended, he was asking how I was and what I thought of it. I would recommend doing this room and if you’re scared, and I would recommend letting them know, and they are pretty accommodating. Larger groups might be better during scary moments, but because it was just the two of us, I was a bit more nervous than usual.
Παρεκκλήσι & Κατακόμβες [Chapel & Catacombs]Lockhill - Nea IoniaEscape roomIRLThis was a life changing experience. The set is HUGE and literally felt like we had been transported to Lockhill. Immersion was next level, the actors and worker were literally in character. If you’re a scaredy cat (like myself), you are going to lose your mind. I had to ask them to get rid of the actors because I was absolutely terrified. I appreciated that that was an option because we still got to experience the greatness of the room. Even without the actors, the general atmosphere was still scary, and I noticed they still included some scary bits but didn’t let us see them, which is very impressive. Highly recommend even if you’re scared, just ask them to dial it down. You have to go!
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLTHIS ROOM IS SO FUN! I love the vibe in here and the set design is super, super cool. Not scary at all (I am a certified scaredy cat) and the puzzles are very fun. Highly recommend to enthusiasts. We did not have an issue with 2 people but we definitely finished with probably a minute or 2 left.
The Grand Parlor13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLVery fun escape room! The set is beautiful and has two stories. Definitely NOT doable with two people (unless you’re an expert, which we are trying to get there!) We probably had about 1/3 of the room left to finish. Some of the puzzles were not intuitive and some things were there early on in the room which we didn’t use till way later. One complaint is that it is in an open warehouse so you can very easily hear teams in other rooms. I get distracted easily (like Doug from UP) so it threw me off at times. Not super terrible though, and definitely still doable with the noise. Also, not scary at all! If you scare easy (like myself) you will be perfectly fine. they do have actors there during certain times of the year so just be wary of that.
