Cute room and good puzzles. Would be great to do around Christmastime with kids or family. This was an Easy room, so would be good for beginners, but quite a bit too short for enthusiasts. I wouldn’t recommend this room unless you are a beginner, a completionist, or are just trying to get your room count higher.

2 if you like to experience all the puzzles. But I could see up to 4 being good, especially for a family or with kids.

This was probably the easiest of the 4 we’ve completed so far at Escape Ventures. Theme was spot on and loved the story line. We got stuck on one puzzle but at the end they said everyone gets stuck there. Wish they’d swap it out with something else! Besides that, loved it!
Gameplay
Great game. Got stuck on one puzzle but they said everyone gets stuck on that same puzzle.
Atmosphere
Great set as always.
Customer service
Staff are always great here.

This is a cute room but definitely an outlier in the rest of the TEV line up. Don’t get me wrong, it’s worth doing for sure and it has some very fun moments. It’s just not as innovative and immersive as their other rooms like Outage, Bros, and Arctic. (I have not done Cornstalkers yet — I’m so scared!) I’m excited to see what concept the team replaces this room with though because they’re arguably the most talented folks in the escape game space right now and I have full confidence that whatever comes next will be epic.

A delightful game infused with a sense of whimsy and Escape Venture's signature humor. I know this room gets the least amount of love of all their offerings at this location but if this is their "least good" room then they are still miles above SO many other companies. Great set design and atmospherics, intuitive and often fun puzzles, and a few surprise touches that elevated it above a standard xmas room. If you, like me, love a fun lighthearded colorful theme, give this one a shot!

It’s good, but definitely a less refined version of the formula used in their newer games. The gameplay, set design, and story are all fun, but there’s nothing that really stands out. You see early versions of the interactions and story-driven gameplay that make TEV’s newer games so good. It’s good, but I wouldn’t recommend this one over any of their more standout games. But if you live in the area or are trying to marathon all in this location, definitely don’t leave this one out. Also the name made me expect something a bit more involved (probably because of a certain older game in LA). It’s a great name but kind of overstating what the game is about. TEV Ranking: 1. Orlando: Cornstalkers 2. Orlando: Arctic Storm 3. Port Charlotte: Phantom FIles 4. Port Charlotte: Click ‘N Glitch 5. Port Charlotte: Nightfall 6. Orlando: Bros for Life 7. Orlando: Neighborhood Watcher (gap in quality) 8. Puzzle Corp.: Secrets of the Swamp (they designed this) 9. Orlando: Satirical Miracle (gap in quality) 10. Orlando: Outage (it’s more unique than Satirical Miracle though) 11. Puzzle Corp.: Doomsday Disaster (they designed this)

Overall a very nice cozy room that people of all ages can enjoy! Not at all spooky, so if you’re looking for some scares they have plenty of other scary rooms! If you’re looking for an easy going, comforting room that’ll bring you back to Grandma’s house, you gotta go!
Gameplay
Straight forward with no unfair or unreasonable puzzles. Puzzles are also not too easy, with enough of a challenge to be fun!
Atmosphere
Set design, smells and overall vibe was great! Definitely one of the smaller rooms at the Escape Ventures, but they make good use of the space!
Customer service
GM was great! Played her part very well, and definitely added to the experience. Always loving the staff here, shoutout to Ashley!!

This was my first christmas themed room, and brought the warm cozy christmas vibes!
Story
Story was fun! Not mind blowing, but definitely added to the immersion and worked well with the set and puzzles! Everything was integrated very well!
Difficulty

Fairly easy room, with some puzzles that we may have missed and I could see others missing. Definitely their easiest room, but also not boringly easy.

Mechanical
Definitely mainly used magnets and locks for their puzzles, but that didn’t take away from the experience.
