Criminal Capture - The Zodiac Killer (Updated Version)

Great crime themed room. Not traditional and a lot of different thinking involved

This escape room feels more like a detective game, similar to the monthly Hunt A Killer boxes. If you're not into reading and solving mysteries, you might want to pass on this one. We enjoyed the detective elements, but one of the rooms is light in all red lighting, which made me see spots—I’m prone to migraines, so that was a bit of a challenge. I wouldn’t recommend this escape room for young kids since it involves a lot of reading. Also, if you have trouble with small print, this might not be the best option for you. While the room isn’t traditionally scary, there are a few moments with sudden noises that made me jump and scream, but I’m easily startled, so take that with a grain of salt. Overall, I had a good time. It was a fun experience, though I wasn’t completely in love with the room.

This room had a lot of potential that unfortunately fell short.

Where do I start? I have done well over 50 escape rooms and this was by far one of the worst. We were offered very little help. At least two of the puzzles did not even work. And upon speaking with our game master at the end, they didn’t seem to care. We actually immediately left, drove to another company and didn’t escape room literally just to get our fix.

Not my favorite. Most of what you do you in the room you can get with a monthly subscription box. There were some interesting surprising in the presentation though, and if you’re someone unlike me who is very into true crime you may be into this room. Otherwise I’d skip this one.

There is an audience for this room but it wasn’t me. More of a detective case than a narrative escape. For fans of true crime
