The StorykeeperLocurioEscape roomIRLEscaped with 3 people and it was really fun. Probably our favorite in the area with the linear clues and really immersive gameplay. Would definitely go to Locurio again to try other rooms. GM is nearby and clues are given through an iPad.
Sal's CyberneticsThe Immersive MachineEscape roomIRLNEW FAVORITE!!! GM was amazing and we loved the immersion starting out in the waiting room. they tailor the gameplay just a tiny bit with extra puzzles and (maybe just flattery) but we we had the most puzzles for a team of 2 :O wish we lived in the area to be able to do any other rooms they may come out with but this is a solid must do room if you have the chance :)
RockstarCityscape GamesEscape roomIRLLOTS of good and intuitive puzzles. Well structured game and the game master was very passionate about the whole room as they created it themself. Clues given through speaker as GM watches and listens to help nudge in the right direction.
Diamond QuestParanoia Quest - TempeEscape roomIRLsuper immersive as soon as you get into the lobby! so fun and the GMs are funny. we were the last game of the night so we did have some technical difficulties with battery powered lamps dying but they brought in new batteries, gave us water and told us not to worry about any time lost from the battery swaps. owner is amazing and we wish we had more time in the area to try out ALL the rooms they had. would honestly travel back here just for their other rooms and the new rooms they were cooking up in the back :)
The Cabin 2.0New Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLreally great storytelling and not really scary unless you dont like fake blood/body parts. nice and intuitive puzzles that all flowed well in terms of story progression. i do wish that the hint system allowed for one other screen in the last section but i appreciate that it pushed us to think more critically and we ultimately didnt really need it that way. with 3 of us, we escaped with 13 minutes to spare and we wish we couldve been in town long enough to do more rooms here. would definitely make a road trip just to come back for the new room theyre working on!
The Isle of WonderThe Greatest EscapeEscape roomIRLSAND! we wore crocs and recommend not doing that XD but super fun room. the storyline and the gameplay flow were great and we wouldve loved to do more rooms here!! the GMs were great and funny.
VanishedEscape From St. LouisEscape roomIRLAmazing experience!! Loved the theme, the puzzles were were different and theres a cool variation in the gameplay plot that I've never seen before. There's a walkie talkie to contact GM but they watch, listen and give clues through a screen in the room so we didn't use it. No clues felt out of place and would definitely do other rooms here.
Blackwell ManorNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLLOVED this room. spooky/eerie type of scary. the set design and effects really build the atmosphere well. the storytelling is SO good too. as a mobility note, someone may have to crawl a very short amount. all the puzzles were great. one puzzle could maybe use a written hint/prompt but overall such a fun experience that we came back the next day to do another one.
Escape JumanjiBust Out Escape Room - PaseoEscape roomIRLvery cool and well designed room, good for families and not difficult. a couple of steep stairs and a short crawl so keep that in mind in case that may be an accessibility issue. overall, worth it if you like rooms with this type of theme and we would do other rooms at Bust Out.
La LloronaOperation OutbreakEscape roomIRLthis room was great!! it gets a bit scary and there's some effects that spooked me but it was fun and i think the GM can accommodate if you seem too scared, they may lay off the effects. very good storyline and gameplay progression. atmosphere is just amazing and immersive.
