A Knight to Escape

An incredible experience. When I heard that it was a 2 hour long escape room I was worried that it would be too long or too confusing. I was wrong. There was not a single moment that I was not engaged and excited to solve the next puzzle. All of the puzzles were hands on and set up in a non linear fashion, but at the same time you had to work in tandem with the second team. The entire room decor was utilized in the puzzles and there were some very interesting and clever solutions. The 2 hour flew by. One tot the best rooms I have ever done.

Listen, often times in a room it's a fine line between fun and challenging and hard and not fun...I felt Knight to Escape maybe went too far over the line to the point where it was more so hard and not fun. Multiple times us or our group on the other side was waiting for the other team to finish or do something so that way they could keep progressing through the room. There were also a few puzzles that had a bit too much search and find and/or were less intuitive than I would have liked. Now that being said I'm a firm believer in all good rooms have some kind of wow factor, and this one didn't (maybe the split start mayyyybe but that's been done a bunch before and I've seen it done a lot better than this) so it was pretty much just meh with a bad story, which if you didn't already know isn't quite a recipe for success. And for the price since it's a 2-hour room we left questioning whether or not it was worth the money we spent, and after any *good* room you probably shouldn't be doubting if it was worth the price. We'll cut the place some slack because we were all exhausted because it was a late night on a day with lots of traveling and a lot more rooms we had done before this one earlier in the day, but it doesn't compare to some of the other rooms in Orlando we had done beforehand and overall left us unimpressed.

Escape effect offered a full night of escaping. Three rooms, 3 hours, go all in on escaping. By the third room our brains were mush, absolutely one of the best nights out.

Loved this two-hour escape room! The time flew by. Had so much fun with just the four of us. Fun puzzles!

We were so close to escaping. We were on the last puzzle. There are so many puzzles in this room and we struggled on a few of them. They respected our request of no clues. If we had gotten a few clues we probably would've escaped with plenty of time. But we like a little challenge and this game definitely put one up.

My boyfriend and I did this escape room with my family for my birthday. It requires good communication and thinking outside the box! My boyfriend proposed to me in this room, he went prior and talked to the staff and they helped him come up with a good time in the puzzle to complete it. They were so amazing throughout the game and helped him pull off the best surprise! We love escape rooms and always do them together, I love our engagement story and couldn’t have had a better experience or escape room for it!!

This room was my white whale. I went here two years ago and had a blast, but didn’t finish the room. (We found out from the game master that we were two puzzles away from the end 😢). My team and I thought about it for a whole year and collectively decided we HAD to go back and do it again and finish it. Just as fun the second time around and we BEAT it. 10/10, fantastic theming, atmosphere, and puzzles. You will have fun even if you don’t escape 👍🏻

The game master switched halfway through the game, leaving us stranded. We repeatedly asked for clues, but none were provided, and the new game master seemed confused every time we requested a hint. It was not a good experience. With the right game master, it could have been great, but since it was the last game of the night, assistance was nowhere to be found.

The strongest part of Knight to Escape is the set, which is nicely themed and decorated. This game is unusual because for a lot of it, your group is split. Unfortunately, it often felt like one side was waiting around for the other to do a critical thing and was unable to help, and the overall feeling I had was of frustration rather than enjoyment. Some of this was our fault - we had some search fails, confidently wrong answers, and newish players, but I think the room design encourages these errors. The room was dimmer than I'd have liked - I get that it's atmospheric, but I think they went too far into not-fun territory.
