Alice's DreamMind Twist Escape ExperienceEscape roomIRLI thought this room was really cool. It was very immersive and the puzzles made you think without making you think too hard. After doing many escape rooms, I have found that a lot of what I see is repeated, but this room does have some interesting puzzles that I havent seen before. I believe the thought and innovation behind this room was good but there are some items in this room that may prohibit players from being able to complete it. I'm a big guy and I didn't think I was going to fit through the one part of the puzzle. Overall, very nice room though.
Atlantis: The Forgotten CityHypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis is a GIANT room! We did this with two people and absolutely LOVED it! We had so much fun with the puzzles, but this room is not for the newbie. It has a LOT of puzzles and we were moving the entire time. It was soooo much fun though and we had an amazing game master! It is a must do room for enthusiasts and for those that are not new to escape rooms!
Aunt Edna’s InheritanceExpedition EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room was not good. We were not a fan because many of the items were outdated, broken, or didn't make sense. The story line was weak and it seemed like a lot of things were forced into the plot line. One of the major puzzles didn't actually work and the ending was very anticlimactic. I hate leaving negative reviews, but this room's was very upsetting.
Bank HeistExpedition EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room was good. Nothing really stood out as new and exciting. We enjoyed the room and is fun for people who like escape rooms.
Blackbeard's BrigConfundrum Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room was fun. We have done many rooms at this point (100+) and I would say that this one did not disappoint. There were only 2 of us completing this room and we were able to do it with ease. The puzzles weren't so easy you weren't having fun, but they weren't so hard that we got frustrated. I also liked how the puzzles were nonlinear. It was a very fun room and we were not disappointed we did it! Immersion level was good (but it was printed wallpaper/photo wallpaper throughout)
Blackbeard's Revenge - A Pirates CurseSt. Louis EscapeEscape roomIRLThis game was fun. I enjoyed it. It was not scary but it was very dark and we were only given one flashlight to use. The first puzzle was disappointing in the fact that our GM had to explain why the puzzle worked in the way it did in order for us to complete it (more like explaining the pictures because they were very similar), but other than that, it was fun! The floor in the last room was a surprise and not something I have seen before.
Blind Tiger SpeakeasyCaptive Escape Rooms - MidtownEscape roomIRLThis room is not an escape, it is more of a "do as much as you can in 60 minutes" room. Not necessarily anything wrong with that, but it is frustrating not to work to a goal. Many puzzles didn't have a clear way to solve them and the hints we were given didn't actually help us. I wouldn't say this is a bad room deserving a thumbs down, but it is not a thumbs up room for us. Clue system is a doorbell and they come into the room. No final relief moment of the room. Just very disappointed.
Bunker 071EscapopolisEscape roomIRLThis game is so much fun! We were able to test the room before it was open and everything in the room was well thought out and really immersive! The quality of the build is very nice and the puzzles are challenging and make you think! We have done almost all of their rooms and love them. This one I think is my favorite so far! The owners are awesome and always willing to help! You MUST play this room! It is worth the time!
Cellar EscapeSt. Louis EscapeEscape roomIRLThe room was fun, but a lot of the puzzles either were anticlimactic or were just there to be there because puzzles needed to be there. I was dissapointed that the same type of puzzle was repeated three different times throughout the experience. The set was very well done though. I did find that duracula and Haunted Mansion were more scary (at least for me). This set was much more typical gore and horror though.
Curse of The JungleEscape Games Live - YorkEscape roomIRLThis room was okay, but not the best. We loved the fact that the room was done entirely in the dark, but didn't like that we were only given one lantern that the GM told us from the get go that it wasn't the best. That kind of set us up with some skepticism. Also, the puzzles in the room required either light or a way to read the item through something else. It was super difficult to use the light for the puzzles. Once we were in the room, there were two instances where we were very frustrated. One of them was when we were required to pull a puzzle out off of the wall. As a group that has done MANY escape rooms, we were hesitant in pulling this off of the wall as we were told in the instructions not to pull things off the wall and we live by the two finger rule, if it can't be moved with 2 fingers, it isn't supposed to move or be moved. Overall, not a horrible room, but not in my top rooms.
