EXTERMINATED: Terror at the Junkyard

You are tasked with exterminating rats in a garbage dump. Things go horribly awry. This room punches far above its weight and was an unexpected highlight of my trip to Central Florida. It’s not a high-budget room, but the puzzles, atmosphere, acting, and unique concept elevate it significantly. We played with a group of 3, which is a perfect number for this compact space. Everyone will need to crawl. I can’t wait to see what this upstart company can build with a larger footprint!

What a fantastic showcase of the passion and talent of the team at Evasive Escape Rooms! Having done Fallout shelter just the night before, we were convinced by Trevor to try out this one despite my uncertainty with doing a scary escape room. I can confidently say that while I did indeed jump and get spooked, it was such an incredible and enjoyable experience that I am glad I gave it a go! So if you are worried about the level of scary, I think it was the perfect balance of spook that was timed well and thematic with the overall story. But the GMs are very accommodating to tailor the experience to your needs. The puzzles were original and so creatively mixed in with each room—like everything was on theme and made sense being there. For an experienced player, they were complex, but we were able to logic them given the context clues around the room, and without any nudging/GM clues. However, for more novice players, we can see this room being quite challenging. To emphasise the care that the team put into building immersion, every room even had a scent! This room was clearly built by escape room enthusiasts for escape room enthusiasts. It oozes originality from the story, the environment, to the puzzles. And we had a great time discussing the behind the scenes with our GMs Trevor and Chris.

Honestly this is an excellent game. For experienced players I would suggest two. But the ambience was great. Puzzles flowed. Nothing super difficult. But a fun time indeed.

This was such a fun and unique room! A few jumpscares kept us in our toes. Lots of puzzles that were well thought out and well placed. It was my wife’s and I’s favorite room we have done yet. We highly recommend to everyone to give it a try!

Chris and Trevor made a great use of space in this room. It was very fun. The puzzles made sense and flowed well. There were no logical leaps. We didn't even ask for a clue once! The theming was great. It was spooky.

Exterminated is such a great room!! Truly scary, exciting and one of the best we have ever done: Trevor and Chris were wonderful hosts, and actors. We can’t wait for their next games!

What an amazing game! We were blown away by the whole experience. Chris and Trevor were amazing hosts, actors, and just great people. The room is very unique from anything we’ve done with a cool story and actor interactions. We had so much fun doing the puzzles and interacting with the set and story. There were multiple things they did throughout the room and story that were new and unique to us enthusiasts that we just loved. Can’t wait to see what else they make! Definitely a must do and totally worth traveling to Sarasota for this game!

This game is a masterpiece. We were not expecting to be so immersed in the game, but Chris and Trevor have created the perfect environment with logical and creative puzzles. This room was truly an inspiration for us as wannabe creators. It’s a testament to the fact that just because you have a limited budget doesn’t mean that you can’t create something incredibly immersive. The creativity in the set design and the perfect mix of standard locks and tech show that this game is a labor of love. And don’t even get me started about the jump scares and “live actor” elements. It was all perfectly scripted and executed so well. Additionally, the owners are just all around wonderful people. So kind and passionate about what they do and we really appreciated them taking their time to chat with us. I would HIGHLY recommend that you travel to do this room! It’s worth it! Plus they have even more originals coming!

immersive :)
