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.
K.O.N.G. ProtocolEscape Barcelona 2 3Escape roomIRLI loved it so much I bought the T-shirt. I’ll be honest, the first 45-60 mins are not great, but it really turns on for the second half and has some moments that made it worth it for me. The issue with the first ~hour is puzzle flow. You have a lot to look at and do, but it’s not clear where you should be spending your time which is frustrating because you waste time until a clue comes in. This is not the case in the second half in my opinion, so hang in there and know that you’re not alone. The spook factor, for me, was really good. Excellent tension, and a great set with thoughtful lighting. We don’t do a lot of horror rooms so our tolerance is relatively low, so YMMV. Try to have fun with it. I was grinning ear to ear for the last hour.
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. 👽
Time MachineMad MachinesEscape roomIRLThis is a well executed and creative Time Machine themed escape room. It has a little bit of everything, and we were able to get through it with minimal assistance in a couple minutes under the time cap which is ideal. The set is very cool, and I enjoyed the puzzles. I will say, Mad Machines puzzles are a little more on the “tasks” side rather than brain-teasing puzzles, which isn’t necessarily bad, but it doesn’t always scratch that puzzle itch that brings me back to escape rooms time and again. However, I thought this room struck the balance a little better than Birth Machine, and so this gets a higher rating from me.
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.
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 💎
The End of the Bleeping WorldNiagara EscapementEscape roomIRLThe room is filled with clever, relatively easy/moderate puzzles, but a lot of them. We didn’t need any clues, and were able to get through it with an experienced team of two with plenty of time to spare. Everything worked flawlessly and the room flowed well from start to finish, sticking with the story and theme throughout. We left with smiles on our faces! It’s a solid set with above average technology! Well done! 👍

Wizard TrialsPanIQ Room - AustinEscape roomIRLRoom is excellent. Great set and the theming is whimsical and fun. It was intuitive enough that we didn’t need clues, but on two occasions we were right at the point of being stumped, which is the ideal difficulty in our minds. Lots of fancy tech, all of it worked well. We had loads of fun!
