Orient Express

Really fun game play! It really wasn't terribly difficult, just some of them were time consuming. We had 4 players total, some rooms were too small for all players, so some of us kinda hung out but we quickly moved on. there were some puzzles that it was INSANELY helpful to have all 4 of us as they were communication puzzles, but they worked really well. Overall it was a super fun and not much I would consider a negative. Mardi was our game master and she was absolutely delightful!

This one was a little more difficult than the typical Gameover escape rooms but the game flow was excellent. There was a lot of puzzles and you definitely have to work together. The props and all the rooms were fantastic. This was one of our favorite rooms

This set felt so real! We love the movie and it really felt like we were in the movie. We did a lot of running back and forth for this room. Pay attention to small details in this one. There are also some red herrings in this one so be mindful.

This one is a nice challenge, and definitely aimed at more experienced players, but we had mostly a good time. It has a completion rate of about 10%, take that as you will. The set design is inspired, the puzzles are nicely in theme, engaging, and unique, but the only issue for some might be some of the logic and flow from puzzle to puzzle and room to room. Again, some obtuse “escape room logic” applies with a room at this level of difficulty; so I’d reiterate this is more for experienced players. We were quite surprised with just how much there was to see and do in this one as well. Definitely a more than meets the eye experience. This can also get pretty physically active too, and will require players who can get REALLY low and crawl through small spaces at certain points, as well as lifting what some players might consider heavy objects. If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, don’t do this. For us, it was a really fun time. Overall I’d say it’s worth doing. Didn’t experience any issues (save for the computerized hint system literally dying on us early on in the game and having an error screen). Our GM however was super fun, helpful and kept the experience light and enjoyable despite that issue and helped when we needed it. Definitely the toughest escape room at this location, but a nicely detailed, engaging and pretty inspired one.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! This room and location are HORRIBLE! They have a bad mark with the Better Business Bureau as well! Game was new and didn’t work. The owner and manager REFUSED to answer or return any phone calls or emails!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! The other Game Over locations said they too had very poor feedback from customers about this location and that they themselves had bad interactions with them. Some parts of the room were not reset while almost every magnetic aspect of the room didn’t work! HORRIBLE!

First step into the “room” looks marvelous! You’re sucked right into the theme. I’d classify this as their hardest room at this location because if I remember correctly you’re dealing with 6? Rooms. A lot of space to cover and most rooms interact with each other, but it’s very well done.

This was a good room but the employees are what made it bad for us. The hint system and lack of nudges sucked. There were many things that didn’t work properly at all but they didn’t care. Then when we gave some feedback she rolled her eyes and gave us an attitude.

Do not waste your money on this game. I reached out to the the company via email explaining the problems we experienced during our visit and waited a few days to see how they responded before I posted this review, but very unprofessionally they did not even respond. With much regret, we had a very disappointing experience with the Orient Express. We have done almost all rooms with Game Over Escape in the Tampa Bay area and were very excited to do this one, but left with a bad taste. The entire room had no logical flow and did not have functioning sensors. Though we had the puzzles in the correct order, there were times we had to wait around one full minute for the reveal to appear, and in escape room time one minute is a lot. This did not happen once, but with every single puzzle throughout the room. One portion was not reset at all. These mishaps completely threw us off. The staff was ok, but did not offer us to do another room at a discount and/or apologize for the faulty room. We have done over 100 rooms and definitely do not recommend this one at all. Parts of every room are dark as well and hard to see what you should be doing. Such disappointment and at an expense.

Room was great but the staff were belittling players when we arrived discussing how terrible they were at playing. Also the GM gave too many unsolicited hints.
