Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLUniquely CRAZY! This escape room is unlike any others I’ve ever done, high tech, and challenging with so much creativity in the game play. Still newer to escape rooms (this was my 14th one). There were 4 of us, which imo was the most ideal amount because the space is somewhat small and narrow (just like a train) and the puzzles were linear in that you could only work on one thing at a time. Many surprising and engaging elements throughout which helped cater to a party with different mindsets. I HIGHLY recommend this one for anyone looking for a unique escape room experience.
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLWe BARELY made it out ( and wouldn’t have if it weren’t for our “helpful because we asked for it” GM, Mina! This is a hard room! The suspense and anticipation of jump scares makes it hard to focus on solving puzzles, but we LOVED the fear component that came with this room. It was more than just “jump scares”, everything was well-coordinated and on theme. The story line was unique and our mission was clear. The set was designed with impeccable detail and everything was immersive down to the hint system. This room was non-linear and lives up to the hype with multiple spaces to discover. HIGHLY recommend!
Through The Sugar GlassQuest TavernEscape roomIRLDone 28 rooms so far and this was one of my favorites! The set was incredibly well designed down to every detail- including themed scents! The puzzles were so perfectly aligned with the theme and story, and challenging enough to make us work for our escape! We used a couple hints, but figured everything else out in just enough time. There were 5 of us, and that was enough. Some spaces are small, but there are multiple spaces to discover. The GM and the rest of the staff were the friendliest, most genuine people! Their enthusiasm was contagious! This room could be described as linear a bit (more so towards the end). The ending is definitely one of the more fun endings of a game I’ve ever done! All around love, love, loved it!!!!!
Awakened 2.0Chronos Escape RoomEscape roomIRLI was underwhelmed with this room. We’ve done 28 rooms now, so not a lot, but this was one of my least favorites overall. The set was bare, the puzzles didn’t work right, the storyline was weak, and the scare factor was “meh”. I did love the multiple rooms, going back and forth, the theme (serial killer using a high school to trap and murder his victims). One of the worst things an escape room can do is end without you knowing it’s ending, and that’s exactly what happened with this room. Bummer. I would probably not recommend this room to anyone, unless you’re newer, or just trying to do EVERY scary room you can.
