7 Deadly SinsEscapology - AustinEscape roomIRLA couple terrible puzzles, but overall decent and a pretty good set!
AlienClap Escape - Escape Game LyonEscape roomIRLI enjoyed this room a lot. If you’re a fan of the movies there will likely be an extra nostalgia boost, at least I thought so. I really enjoyed the puzzles, the room has great flow. You always know what you should be working on, even if that sometimes means multiple puzzles at the same time. The puzzles in some places feel like “video game” puzzles, and I think that’s due in part to Alien: Isolation being a major influence for the room. I don’t mind that, but it might not be your vibe. Spooky atmosphere, nothing crazy. Great set overall, lots of detail, very few red herrings, if at all. Extremely friendly staff. 👽
Arizona Shootout - Most WantedEscapology - AustinEscape roomIRLNot a special room, but we actually enjoyed it. For the most part, the puzzles made sense. The colored lock needs to be replaced with a regular one… but other than that when we got stumped it was from our own lack of attention to detail. Use of black light was minimal, which we appreciated. We had a good time!
Auf der Suche nach Gulliver [In Search of Gulliver]ROOM Escape Room ZurichEscape roomIRLUnlike anything we’ve ever done before! It’s a little too easy for experienced crews, and we had a couple small technical difficulties where things didn’t unlock until we jiggled things around which wasted time, but the unique setup is memorable it and I think it’s worth a visit doing if you’re in the area.
Birth MachineMad MachinesEscape roomIRLThis is the more highly regarded of Mad Machines 2 rooms, but it really didn’t do it for me. On the positive side, it’s wacky, silly, unique, and a well crafted theme I’ve never seen anywhere else, which is a rare find these days. However, for me it lacked on puzzles, which is too core to the experience to overlook. The first half of the room is a more traditional escape room style experience, but the quality and difficulty of the puzzles varied too much. Some were overtly obvious and easy, and others were very subtle and we veered off course a couple times, but, it was still on track to be a great room. The next half though I really didn’t enjoy. It felt to me more like a series of tasks rather than puzzles, and it felt like a chore to finish. It wasn’t “bad” by any means, but it somewhat ruined the experience for me.

Cartel CrackdownPanIQ Room - AustinEscape roomIRLNot bad! Puzzles were good, room flowed well and we never felt too confused. Only needed one hint for a hidden item we barely missed. Otherwise it was straightforward and had some rewarding puzzles. Very few traditional locks, too! 👍
Cutthroat Cavern13th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLSimply incredible. Enjoyable puzzles, great build up, super fun theme, and an outstanding set. I went into it blind and it was very worth it. The crowning jewel of 13th gate 💎
Der Spielzeugmacher [Toy Maker]Big Break HamburgEscape roomIRLThis is about as good a room as we’ve ever played when it comes to a standard 60 minute, puzzle-oriented room. It’s not overly flashy or grand, but it has some really fun surprises in store. Puzzle flow was really good, we never needed a hint and we knew what we needed to be working on at all times. I thought the puzzles were reasonably challenging, some were a bit easy, others were a little tougher and took a few minutes to click. Overall we had a lot of fun and felt accomplished at the end.
Easy Bake CovenNiagara EscapementEscape roomIRLThe room is cute and clever, and has good, straightforward puzzles. Our team of 2 flew through it in just over 20 minutes so it’s hard to give it a heart but we enjoyed it throughly and vibed with the puzzles. It has a decent set, and we like witchy themes so it was an easy choice for us. Plus the folks we met were very friendly and enthusiasts which is always a huge plus! 🤓 The business doubles as a gaming lounge so it’s definitely worth a visit, as they had 100s of board games in stock!
