Bros for Life: Fraternity HeistThe Escape Ventures - Orlando Waterford LakesEscape roomIRLWow, starting off great as soon as you enter the room the game master really gets you excited for the story and ready to go. Most escape rooms don’t have an excited start but this one was memorable! There were different elements in the room we were not used to which made for a unique experience. We did get stuck on a puzzle towards the end but that was our own fault for overthinking it. This is a room worth experiencing if you are in the area!
Captain Spoopy Bones and the Magnificent Quest For Some Other Pirate's Treasure!Doldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRL75 minutes can be a long time but the time is needed to enjoy the room and solve the puzzles. We did it with 3 when it can be done with 14 people. Would suggest at least 4 people if you are not experienced in escape games. This room probably had my favorite intro video to date. Those videos can sometimes be slow paced or not that excited but this one was entertaining and memorable!
The Last VampireEncrypted Escape - West ReadingEscape roomIRLThis room was spooky but super fun! Really enjoyed this one and it was pretty difficult as it took a group of 4 of us who are all very experienced in escape rooms longer then we thought it would have. But we did end being 9th place on the weekly leaderboard. You may not escape this one so be prepared but if you do the ending has a cool surprise!

Rugrats: Search For The Losted ToysThe Escape Game - King of PrussiaEscape roomIRLThis is the room all 90s kids will have to do. It drops you right in the set and feels like you are part of the show. The theming was really on point with this room. If you have ever watched Rugrats you NEED to do this room.
Gold RushThe Escape Game - King of PrussiaEscape roomIRLPretty fun room and had some very interactive puzzles in the game. While it’s a chain they have game designed rooms with a lot of area to explore. But was disappointed we got put with very young adults and one child at the last minute. First time playing with people we didn’t know and I don’t recommend unless you can vibe with them from the start.
Level99 Rooms [Interactive Arcade]Level99 - Disney SpringsEscape roomOther This can’t be classified as an escape room but a place with several different rooms filled with mini games. Compared to other places like this the biggest issue I see is that some rooms have a very quick fail rate so you may have 5 mins in a room but could be out in 5 seconds and have to wait again in line to enter each room to just attempt again. Went for 2 hours and didn’t even get close to covering all the rooms they had. Had to wait about 2-10 mins per room to just enter. I wish time would pause on its own if you have to wait for a room or have a spot you can stop your time without having to wait in line. Go with a group who knows how to follow the rules of each room otherwise you could fail quickly and not fully enjoy the experience.
The Casino Heist [prev. The Casino Challenge]Captured LV Escape Room - BethlehemEscape roomIRLProbably one of my favorite Casino theme rooms I have played. Loved the atmosphere and the puzzles and they all made sense and were fun to play. Staff didn’t ask if we wanted a photo in the room or outside of the room so if you want one in the room be sure to ask.
Strange MagicMind MastersEscape roomIRLThis is a smaller business that is extremely passionate about what they do and their rooms. There were some neat puzzles that made it feel magical. However some puzzles were layered with a bit of overthinking. Which in the minds of a builder is great, but sometimes need to minimize the about of thinking needed to solve certain puzzles. It was a small room but worked well in that space. Excited to see the new rooms they plan on opening and great to see smaller sized companies still being successful after years of being in business. Passionate owners and builders will keep these rooms exciting.
