Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' Plotz

This quickly moved into our top 5. So fun. We laughed a lot during the game. Very creative. Some unique puzzles. Definitely worth doing this one!

From the moment you step into Crazy Train, you can tell it’s something special. Using a distinctly minimalist yet cartoonishly exaggerated aesthetic, the game makes an immediate impression. It plays just as good. The game flows extremely well, never hitting any major snags. Each task was consistently tactile and thematic, punctuated by narrative beats that added impact. The game space was perfect for a team of two, with more potentially making it a bit too crowded. When the game finally culminated in a frenzied series of task, Doldrick’s added excitement without forcing too much pressure on the players. This is the Crown Jewel of an already incredibly consistent company.

Quite easily one of the best escape rooms I have ever done! I am a HUGE fan of animation, and I grew up with old cartoons. The monochromatic cartoon design and Dick Dastardly villain Skeemin’ Plotz is PERFECT. I’ve done great rooms with similar aesthetics, but this room, which features legit original animation, takes the entire cartoon cake! The puzzles were very well signposted, the flow was like a cartoon episode, and the original music by the location’s owner was EXACTLY RIGHT! Our group of 2 managed to do it hintless, which is a testament to the excellently designed 75-minute experience! The tech is insane, and we got to see the huge machine that makes this marvel possible. This is even better than what Universal Studios itself has for classic animation! Even the funny opening video, which was made with so much character, had me smiling the entire time! During the final puzzle, which of course was AMAZING, my wife turned to me and proclaimed, “I’m having fun!” THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW! 20/10 room! Like any wonderful cartoon rerun, would do again! That villainous Skeemin’ Plotz must be stopped!

This was the greatest escape room I have ever done.

Really fun, unique, it does have difficulty. Really creative, amazing theme, beautiful room and fun puzzles. The sound of one specific room can get a little bit overwhelming, but overall it's a must do experience

This is a visually super cool game, and a very inventive usage of a small space. I personally liked the somewhat cheesy animations, but it’s not going to be for everyone. There were a few puzzles that felt tedious. But generally a cool, very immersive experience

The theme and the colors of the room were very unique. Our game master was super nice and we had such a fun game experience. Not my favorite of all time but definitely a tier above the rest

Overall this is a solid escape room. While not my favorite one I have ever done it was definitely fun and interesting. Rooms are a little cramped feeling so I encourage this to be done in smaller groups of around 3 or 4. Only complaint I have about this room is some of the locks were a little finicky and needed a little finagling to open. Other than that it was a fun experience.
