Neighborhood WatcherThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLWow, SUCH a fun experience!! This was just the perfect level of spooky and creepy with so many fun puzzles and an iconic Escape Ventures character!
40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLThis game truly is as great as everyone says! Amazing intro to the story, beautiful set design, and fun and interesting puzzles. All around one the highest quality escape room experiences I’ve ever had!
Cutthroat Cavern13th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLThis is an incredible game in terms of atmosphere and set. The puzzles and storyline were good enough, with some aspects we’ve never seen before. Like everyone says, it’s an absolutely must do!
Hide + SeekThe Escape WarehouseEscape roomIRLOur group of three had an INCREDIBLE time playing Hide and Seek. Two in our group have done around 15 games (including a couple at the 13th gate) and this has easily moved into the #1 spot for all of us! This game has incredible story flow/development and, most importantly, puzzles that make sense for the world you’re immersed in. The owners/staff were wonderful and you can tell they have such a passions for escape rooms, puzzle design, and story development. We can’t wait to play their other room and we will be trying all of their future rooms too!
Cinema 7Will To Escape - OrlandoEscape roomIRLWe really loved Cinema 7! It had a top notch atmosphere and all of the puzzles made sense. The room can be a little dark to see and read things at times, but was overall a blast!
Bros for Life: Fraternity HeistThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed Bros for Life! After seeing so much praise for this room, it felt a bit older and had more gen 1 puzzles than I anticipated. I felt like the room started off really strong and then got progressively weaker with both the puzzles and set. Nonetheless, we had a lot of fun with the heist and our GM Cierra was top notch!
Captain Spoopy Bones and the Magnificent Quest For Some Other Pirate's Treasure!Doldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe absolutely LOVED this game! The set design is wonderful, and all of the puzzles make sense. The story was great, and the overall gameplay was quite clever. We escaped as a team of 2, but I’d say a group of 4 is probably optimal. Highly recommend!
The Sins of Doctor FaustusCaptivating WorldsEscape roomIRLWe loved this game! Awesome atmosphere and a fun theme, although our team of 2 agrees with the other reviews that the story could possibly be reworked some so that it doesn’t need an explanation at the end. Overall a strong room, and we had a great time!
Welcome to the MachineCaptivating WorldsEscape roomIRLEdit: After playing all of the games at CW, this is my personal favorite! This was the first game I played at Captivating Worlds. Welcome to the Machine is both exciting and well thought out! The theming is great, all the way down to the sounds used. More importantly, the puzzles are logical and rewarding. There were several “aha!” moments we had while solving the puzzles, which felt great. We almost escaped as a team of two!
Shhh!The Escape WarehouseEscape roomIRLThe Escape Warehouse hit it out of the park once again! This is my favorite escape room venue I’ve been to, and Shhh! did not disappoint! Our GM was fun and enthusiastic, and the game itself kept us entertained the entire time. Set design is incredible (as always), the scale of the set was impressive, and all puzzles were logical and the perfect level of challenging for my group. What a great addition to this company, and I can’t wait for what they create next!
