MagnificoEscaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLWow. Just wow. Had a fantastic time and all three of our actors were fantastic! I was blown away by the spectacle of this game and if you love escape rooms, you have to try this game! If you are a first timer, you should really go with a group of people who have done escape rooms before as some of the puzzling could have been difficult for someone who doesn't know how escape rooms work, but everyone should see this beautiful piece of art! It is MAGNIFICO!
L'Île perdue de la Reine Vaudou [The Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLThis room is more like a traditional escape room and was enjoyable for that fact. The story was fun and our game master was fantastic. He really made our experience better! He had funny little quips as the game was going on and it made the game all the more enjoyable. Probably not my favorite game at Escaparium, but still worth the play! I still really enjoyed myself!
Houdini's WorkshopPanIQ Room - NYC [prev. Clue Chase]Escape roomIRLThis room was really cool where it actually incorporates magic into the room and puzzles!

The Campground13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLThis room is very well done! Immersion is on point and every puzzle was a lot of fun. Some things I haven't ever seen before too. We were a group of three and we were booking it through the room to get done with 1 minute left! We had a really great time and can't wait for them to open their next room.
The Columbia Jail HouseEscape KeystoneEscape roomIRLThis room was great and there was a lot to do! If you are in the area and have time, you should definitely check it out. We were a group of 3 but there is a lot to do in this room. Be ready to really work as a smaller group.
Frankenstein EscapeSt. Louis EscapeEscape roomIRLThis game is labeled as an expert level game and I see why. The puzzles were difficult, but not because they made you think, it was because they were missing some logic behind them. The second room has 4 locks (all the same length and type) with no indication as to what combo goes to what lock. Also, the way of obtaining those combos didn't make the most sense. I enjoyed myself in this room, but we also had to reset one of the puzzles for our GM who didn't close one of the doors. It wasn't a huge deal, and we reset it because we wanted the full experience. This experience ended with us wanting a picture, but our GM ran off and left us to fend for ourselves in the lobby.
Haunted Mansion EscapeSt. Louis EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room was fun...I did not like being the target of ALL of the animatronics...I understand one or two, but the fact that I had all but one set off on me and one of them was set off on me twice wasn't really cool. I get that going for the scare is fun and seeing my reactions (which admitedly are really funny) is a fun time, I am there for the puzzles and the game, not the scares. If I wanted all the scares, I would have done the haunted house downstairs. Anyway, I digress. The room itself was fun. The puzzles weren't overly difficult, but the flow was good. I will say that at times, there was a lot of noise happening within the room that made hearing things very difficult. I think my biggest gripe though was the final puzzle. We put in the correct code and got the green light, but nothing happened. We did it again, and same thing. We looked around again to see if we missed something and didn't find anything. I tried the code one more time and when the green light happened, I pushed on the final door and it opened. I understand that the door couldn't spring open since it opened into the main walkway, but maybe a light above the door, or around the door would help? When we exited the room, our GM came out of the control room and said something like "I didn't even see you put in the last code. I'm sorry!" Well, we did it three times, so what were you doing?
Dracula EscapeSt. Louis EscapeEscape roomIRLSo, I am a scaredy cat when it comes to haunted things. This proved to stand in my way in this room. Let me just say though, this set was very well done. The first and last rooms were amazing (the middle three were on theme, but were there to just house the transition puzzles). I would say the stand out thing in this room was the set. Puzzles were okay (though I did see a new puzzle I have not seen before in this room).
