Atlantis
Escape Room LA
Escape room
IRL
My team of three had a great time, though I think Black Dragon is a much stronger room (and Hypnotic Games has a slightly better Atlantis themed room). Several of the puzzles were “meaty”, with multiple stages of logic/translation, which was satisfying except for a sound puzzle that only cued us with a crucial sound once. The space was exciting to explore and continually reveal and the puzzles were novel, hands-on, and satisfying. Overall, recommended.

Played with three: two experienced escapers and one total newbie. The puzzles did a great job of giving a clear “mission” at all times without feeling constrained/railroaded. A nice escalation between rooms; it was a lot more linear than it felt, which meant it could have a good difficulty curve. Best part was a really satisfying emphasis on physical interactions and environments over locks-and-keys.

A really top notch room! We loved how the game “opened up” from the first room, and appreciated how immersive the space was. The exploration felt really expansive. Puzzles were intriguing, though a lot would probably be trivial to someone who can read Chinese (we could not). Very non-linear and yet with a satisfying “escalation” so we ended on a real high. Strongly recommended!

I had no idea how little I knew about 90s music until we played this room! I think a “music person” would get a lot more fun out of the set dressing, soundtrack, etc; my brother and I often felt a bit intimidated/alienated by how little we recognized the albums, lyrics, etc that formed part of the puzzles. But, in the end all the needed information *was* in the room. There was lots to do so our team of two was busy the whole time, though this might be our fastest finish. It’s not an immersive mega experience but it was a fun set of puzzles with some neat creative moments.
Chapter 1 – The Dark Secret of the Congressman
Crime Runners - Branch Schottentor
Escape room
IRL
My brother and I played this the day he landed in Vienna (very jetlagged) but the adrenaline kicked in and I think we nearly completed it! Our biggest problem, as it often is, was being slightly *too* gentle with props that actually were part of the puzzle... and sometimes failing to spot the obvious. For us, the finale gave everything a feeling of excitement, even though it also meant we didn't technically finish.
Chapter 2 - Crime Scene: Back Alley
Crime Runners - Branch Schottentor
Escape room
IRL
I think this was my favourite of the three at this location! (Haven’t done Going Underground yet.) There were a few moments where we were just standing there feeling like idiots with nothing to do, but that made it satisfying when we spotted what we missed. The finale brought everything to a satisfying crescendo.
Chapter 3 - Patient Zero
Crime Runners - Branch Schottentor
Escape room
IRL
I think this might be on a technical level the “best” of the trilogy, but we are not a fan of spooky games and this one was on the edge for us. There was more than one puzzle where we missed a key object because we didn’t want to get any closer to the spooky set dressing. We lost by a lot but the GM kindly let us keep going (with extra hints) and it definitely had a lot of interesting interactions and cool moments!
Conundrum Museum
Boxaroo
Escape room
IRL
I brought a group here for a party and we had a blast! A nicely dense and nonlinear puzzle room, with several unusually clever "aha" moments.
De Wraak Van Han [Han’s Revenge]
De Gouden Kooi
Escape room
IRL
This was a blast! It’s my personal favourite so far, for a good mix of physical tasks and intellectual puzzles and great pacing toward a climax. The environments were delightful, complex, and immersive. Several wonderful "aha" moments.
Escape The Danforth
Looking Glass Adventures
Escape room
IRL
Played this with my brother and we loved it! A nice room for two, and we appreciated the local touches.
