Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSo much fun. Incredible decoration; looks like you’re inside an old-timey cartoon. Perfect cartoony atmosphere and props. Puzzles are solid and well-clued. Game is fairly easy and linear, recommend for small groups.
The BirdMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLAs expected from mysstic, quite a strong room. A few really great magical moments. Great for small teams. There were a few frustrating/confusing moments, but these didn’t detract too much from the experience 4/5
The Morrison Game FactoryPostCuriousEscape roomTabletopStory-driven tabletop escape game. The board game components and theme are fun. The story is excellent. Puzzles are fine but I found a couple frustrating/ambiguous. 4/5
Sleep No More [Immersive Theatre]The McKittrick HotelEscape roomOther Incredible show. Incredible atmosphere, sets, and vibes. Good dancing/choreography. The story is hard to follow but that’s part of the appeal/point, it’s a dreamlike haze. I understand why some people went to see it dozens of times. There’s a tremendous amount of content. 5/5
Haunted MansionDisney World - Seven Seas DriveHauntHaunted houseOne of my favorite rides at Disney World, I ride it every time I go. Not too scary, just the right amount of spooky. 5/5
Heresy: 1897Doors of DivergenceEscape roomIRLExcellent overall. I loved the theme and the atmosphere. Having an actor and branching story paths is a really novel idea. They also have side quests. I didn’t feel a tremendous sense of agency about my choices / it wasn’t clear what the results would be, very “choose your own adventure” vibes where you don’t know what will happen until you make the choice. I never got a chance to replay before they closed, but apparently there’s two fully distinct paths of puzzles depending on your story choices! 5/5
Fall Harvest13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLStylistically similar to 13th hour’s other rooms. Lots of content/puzzles; pretty difficult. Fun actor interactions!
Madness: 1917Doors of DivergenceEscape roomIRLA replayable, choose your own adventure escape room with live actors. This concept is great, but unfortunately Madness didn’t quite live up to my expectations after Heresy. It’s still quite a fun time, but I preferred the theming and atmosphere of Heresy. 4/5
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLUnique theme: a haunted theater. The story is interesting and the environment fits the story well. Puzzles are largely good. The final sequence is quite memorable. The unique story/theme didn’t quite click with me — this is actually my least favorite of MyssTic’s three rooms. (It’s still quite good though!) 4/5
Boda Borg Quests [Interactive Arcade]Boda Borg - BostonEscape roomOther Incredibly fun and engaging premise: mini-rooms, each of which takes only a few minutes to complete, but you can fail and need to restart. There are tons of different rooms (“quests”), some similar to traditional escape rooms and some quite different. There’s a good number of physical challenges. Try to go when it’s not too crowded so wait times to re-enter rooms after failing aren’t long. I only got to complete a small number of quests, but I’d love to return for more. 5/5
