Jurassic World: Escape

The worse experience ever... if you like real escape rooms this are not... its a walk through badly made. Avoid

We just played the Jurassic World Escape and, despite it not being a traditional escape experience, I thoroughly enjoyed the room! We did a bit better than the average group and only had 2ppl, so it’s totally possible to do really well in this room with a bigger group.

While I did enjoy it, it’s not so much “escaping” as it is “experiencing” if that makes sense

The theme is good due to the budget but as this is an escape experience rather than a game there are not many puzzles. You will be moved from room to room regardless as there will be another teaming coming in behind you - this also means you cannot leave and come back at any time. For the cost these are super expensive and would recommend heading to The Bureau instead!

This is not your typical escape room. It is better described as an escape room-type experience.

This one is better than the BTTF one. Still not an escape room but feels more like the rooms at Escapeology, so on the right track. A fun themed puzzle adventure.

I liked how straightforward it was. I think some of the tasks were a bit long for the time allotted. I would recommend to most people but especially to first timers and people who like the movie franchise.

Warning: This was not an escape room. This was a themed walkthrough with unintuitive tasks to complete while the rooms story passes by you. It’a a fun experience, but it shouldn’t be misunderstood as an escape room, not at this price point. If you don’t complete tasks, you are still ushered through the game because more are coming through after you. It’s a strange hybrid that doesn’t gel as well as the Back to the Future Ride.

An experience of this caliber should be focused on the “fun” factor and player dynamic and it, unfortunately, didn’t deliver in those ways. An escape room [as mentioned countless times here before] it is not. This is a walkthrough story-experience with few tasks implemented to assist with driving the story. There are puzzly tasks that will regenerate once completed successfully to make use of the allotted time frame in each room. While in some cases we appreciated the opportunity to redo a rewarding action, more often those redone attempts became tedious as we were ready to progress. This experience is designed as a “people mover”. Which is used to get a number of guests through the experience in timed blocks in order for each group to progress together regardless of puzzle success. My biggest upset would be the final “puzzle” where we were only given [what felt like] 2 minutes to complete before being progressed forward. The final “puzzle” felt unintuitive and then we proceeded to move into additional rooms with no puzzles. So our team spent the remainder of the walkthrough pondering what that puzzle meant as we were just ushered through more environments with story purpose, but no interactive elements to add to the finale. This felt odd and left us unsatisfied - not ideal for an end of “escape room” experience. If you go for a story-focused walkthrough, the effects are relatively cool and the environments are standard and clean. At this price point, it is nothing worth running to. We were told we would be in the experience for a full 60 minutes, but we’re out in under 50, including introduction briefing outside the room.

Very frustrating to be pushed along to the next room just as we were finishing a puzzle on more than one occasion. Sets were very built out, but a bit sameish from room to room. The Back to the Future one was much better.
