We found this room to be the easiest of the three that we did at this location, despite it's rating. A warm and inviting room with lots of charming touches, each of which furthered the story more, or helped us solve a puzzle. It seems so easy to do a fantasy/dragon themed room and take it dark and moody, so this was a delightful change of trope.

Gameplay

It flows very smoothly and we were able to split up to do a few puzzles on our own but for the most part we were able to collaborate, which is my favorite way to play (I never want to miss a solve!)

Atmosphere

As mentioned, it was light and cozy. The props had great hand feel.

Just a fantastic room. Very fun, engaging story, good puzzles (not too complicated but nothing simple). Some very original pieces. It was a nice change of pace to move though the room at a steady pace and not run into any piece that caused frustration. By no means a simple room but very very fun Non linear for pieces of the room, can easily accommodate 4 -5 adult sized humans GM for the run was stupendous (KJ II was outstanding) Cannot wait for the new game

Good escape room to play. Quite a few puzzles and locks. Especially if you have a large group of people.

We absolutely loved the Dragon’s Challenge escape room at Escape Ventures in Winter Garden. From the second you walk in, the atmosphere is unreal. The set design is incredibly immersive, with insane attention to detail — even the scent of the room adds to the experience. It truly feels like you’ve stepped into a fantasy world. The storyline is so fun and easy to get invested in. You’re not just solving puzzles, you’re part of an adventure, which makes everything feel more exciting and purposeful. The pacing of the game flows really well with the narrative, and each new area feels like a reveal. The puzzles were creative and unexpected in the best way. There were several elements we didn’t see coming, which kept the experience fresh and engaging. Nothing felt repetitive, and the variety of puzzle styles made teamwork important and rewarding. Overall, this room checks every box: immersive atmosphere, thoughtful design, unique puzzles, and a fun story. If you love themed escape rooms with strong storytelling and next-level set design, Dragon’s Challenge is a must-do. We’d happily recommend it to others.

A relatively standard escape room but done very very well. Our hosts (KC2 and a long haired guy who I forgot the name of - sorry!) were a lot of fun. The room featured some interesting puzzles and the game masters commitment to staying in character really helped with the immersive atmosphere.

First of all - Kelly was a badass game master! There was alot to do with just 2 people but if you love locks and puzzles this is the room for you! Classic non linear escape room with quality set design. 10/10 would recommend.

  • The puzzles felt chunky and tangible. The challenges were thematic... far exceeds what you’d expect
