Armoire à Vendre [Wardrobe for Sale]

Well this room is absolutely spectacular - especially the first half of it in particular. The magic is real and we fell head over heels for a character in this story! The puzzles were fun and whimsical and wonderful. Our GM was just fantastic here. I felt in awe of my surroundings for almost all of the game.

Escaparium operates on an entirely different level than any escape room I have done to date. This is something you need to experience for yourself and not let me ruin one moment of it with my review. The story is engaging and it is something you really need to pay attention to as it unfolds. It won't help you solve the puzzles, but it is a major part of the experience. The scenery is absolutely amazing and you can easily lose yourself trying to take in all of the details. The puzzles are great and completely original to anything I have seen before. I have to admit some of them made you really think outside the box and try multiple things to come up with the correct solution. The hint system is unique (and absolutely adorable) and you you won't mind getting a little nudge in the right direction. I cannot get over how much I loved this room!

A timeless classic. Escaparium’s original claim to fame. You can’t go wrong.

Magnifico, it is not. It's still a decent room, but it feels like an earlier version of a build style they perfected later. The best part? Your puppet companion and guide throughout, always at the ready. Notes: One main puzzle room had what appeared to be 10 or so parallel puzzles, but they were actually linear - each one giving a missing piece to the next, which was a bit analysis paralysis and also makes it hard to have everyone help if it's a group. They say the minimum is 4, but we did it with 2 and I don't know what everyone else would be doing. There's a puzzle involving ants I found really kind of random and hard to "solve" conceptually - like it could have meant a lot of things. There's what WOULD be an immersive themed experience between 2 rooms, but the motor that powers it is INCREDIBLY loud whirring and breaks immersion hard. There are prerecorded scenes, so if, say, the French one accidentally plays, it can be very confusing for the players if this is supposed to happen, what are we supposed to do, and the actor has no good way to get out of the scene and fix it until it's done. In the second main puzzle room, there's a lot of devices and I think a couple labels or names would make what one is supposed to do with which part a bit more clear. Nothing a couple puppet hints wouldn't solve, but "hey what if you go back and try that again but slower" doesn't feel as good as the thing you tried magically working. Heck, even the very first puzzle was a bit misleading. What if a secret door had instructions guiding you away from itself? But maybe we're just obtuse on that one. Don't get me wrong - it was a good room and s good experience, but for the ratings accolades and awards it has, especially sharing the same location as Magnifico, it just left us a bit underwhelmed by comparison. The slightly janky precursor. But the puzzles are still creative, heavily themed, mostly sensible and solvable, and a good time. They get you interacting and engaging, and the setting is adorable. Wonderful acting and puppeteering for our show.

It's a nice room, but it's clearly showing its age—several things aren't working. For the price, you'd expect more.

It was truly an amazing room! The decor is beautiful, and the puzzles are solvable with a little effort—of course—but not too difficult. There were five of us, and it was perfect!

Not my favorite Escaparium room — but anything less than a love for Escaparium would be wild. The amount of detail and attention they put into crafting their set and stories is incredible. I wasn’t a particular fan of this room because it was very linear and focused more on the narrative and storytelling than the puzzles. I felt like there was way too much talking and acting, and I only ended up doing about 3 puzzles total in an hour and a half. Most of the time the guide tells you what to do.

Incredibly whimsical and so much fun. One of my favorites!

I absolutely adored this escape room. Moss was just my favorite ❤️ a beautiful story. Wonderful immersion. A boat trip I have never seen before. The costumes blew us away- think universal quality. So cute. Puzzles were well themed. As a team of two we split up but also did things together! I dare say I may have liked it a little more than Magnifico.
