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!
Masquerade [Immersive Theater]MasqueradeEscape roomOther This show is one of the most amazing pieces of live theatrical art I have ever seen! I cannot believe the amount of time, dedication, and work that has gone into this show! I liked Phantom of the Opera before, but this opens your eyes to a whole new view and makes you feel the show even more than just sitting in the theater watching! If you get the chance to see this show, it is soooooo worth it!
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.

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.
