Hope End

The Ministry Of Peculiarities

Escape room
IRL

Terrific NPC interaction from lobby to end. A masterclass in the art of revealing narrative through interaction design.

La Cerveseria [The Brewery]

Enigmik

Escape room
IRL

Original concept, clean and well-clued puzzles, many well-thought-out multi-player interactions, great sense of humor. The GM told us they were careful to design a game where everyone has something to do, and it shows. Also you come away a souvenir you can drink :-).

Treasure Island

Brain Games Escape Room

Escape room

Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's Bigfoot

The Nemesis Club

Escape room
IRL

The hype is real! Worth a trip from anywhere. Amazing attention to detail that extends into the post- and pre-game experience.

Treasure Island

Brain Games Escape Room

Escape room
IRL

Lots to do, funny and original puzzles, and great set; the experience was marred by several mechanical and reset problems.

The Last Supper

Quest Tavern

Escape room
IRL

Our live actor was a blast--funny and creepy and scary, and really good at improvising. I just wish we had been given more to do with him, a lot of the interaction felt like it was killing time because we were solving the puzzles pretty quickly.

Cybercity 2049

Escape Barcelona 2 3

Escape room
IRL

Great set and GM interaction (our GM played at least 4 different characters). If anything, this game tries to do too much: video game, zombie chase, improv, carnival game. Contains some NSFW elements that aren't really part of the gameplay.

Distrito 111 [District 111]

Unreal Room Escape Sant Martí – Barcelona

Escape room
IRL

Really enjoyed it. Lots to do (for our team of 2), gritty post-apocalyptic set with memorable interactions, clean puzzles, helpful game master. I wasn't sure how some of our tasks tied in with the overall objective but it was still great fun. (I think this game was newly-available in English, and the GM apologized for his limited English, but we had no language problems with it.) That it's tucked incongruously inside an apartment complex in a residential neighborhood adds to the charm.

The Bridge Between

Quest Tavern

Escape room
IRL

A lovely, happy set with lots of fun puzzles. The in-game hinting worked great and added to the atmosphere. But some of the mechanisms needed maintenance--a couple of the buttons were sticky, and there were stuck-on labels that indicated some of the hardware was fussy.

Haunting at Haruka High

Omescape - Sunnyvale

Escape room
IRL

A fun room, but not as strong as Chaos or Robotopia. Really strong special effects which gave us a few good frights! But the time controls were frustrating: the room has a 30% success rate, but no visible clock (you had to check the time on the walkie-talkie), many long cut scenes you have to sit through, and some goofy time-consuming player interactions. We escaped with seconds to spare; we would have been really sad to have failed and missed the finale. I think the game would be better if it let everyone "win" (e.g. like the story-based rooms in Spain or Montreal). I usually enjoy narrative in games, but this one felt like a chore: a couple of the "puzzles" felt like they were just testing us on our understanding of some exposition we'd just heard.

Every escape room. Every haunt. Ever.
