Chapter 3: The Morgue
Off The Couch Games
Escape room
IRL
I rate this room a 4/5 (check out my review system in my bio). This is the third chapter in the planned 12-chapter series. Based on what our GM stated, each chapter will follow an overarching storyline. This is such a fun concept - makes me excited for what's to come. It doesn't seem like the chapters have to be done in order as they seem to cater the rooms to each player's experience with the story, but it's probably better to do them in order. Another smart and novel concept is that they will give you credit towards future rooms if you finish earlier than the allotted time. This particular chapter was very cool! Many new concepts such as a game show type segment where you can choose to do additional puzzles (an escape room within an escape room... What?!?). There were some novel puzzles I hadn't experience before and a very detailed and immersive set. There was what I like to call a 'time-sucker' puzzle that I didn't really like and even made me a little sick to my stomach (too much gatorade!) which caused me to knock off a point. And our fun friend (or scary foe?) was very much present in this chapter which wasn't my skittish partner's favorite, but I thoroughly enjoyed! So probably not fun for those who don't appreciate jump scares.🤭 Overall, my favorite of the first three chapters. These are master class escape experiences, and I look forward to what they will come up with next.
Undercooked
Omescape - Sunnyvale
Escape room
IRL
I easily give this experience a 5/5 (check out my bio for my rating system). This is a stupendous escape room! However, it's technically not an escape room per se, but more like a room to accomplish as much as you can within the given time limit. For this reason, you can do it more than once in an attempt to get a higher recipe load. And you might think you'll do better the second time because now you know more but it's harder than you'd think, especially with only 2 people. We increased our recipe number by only 7 the second time ending with 19/26 recipes in 75 minutes. More than 2 people would ease the burden of getting all the recipes but we'd probably do it a third time if we were in the area! 😂 Such a cool concept implemented in a truly unique and fun way. The set design was amazing as well - I felt like I was in a real-life chef's kitchen - and there were many novel puzzles, which revealed many delightful surprises. This is a master class in escape rooms!

Back to Childhood
Clockwise Escape Room - Pleasanton
Escape room
IRL
I rate this experience a 3/5 (check out my bio for my rating system). This was a solid but average room with a fun retro theme - probably more for the Xennial crowd. It was relatively easy to get through with maybe 1 or 2 novel puzzles. Good for beginners and those just looking for nostalgic fun.
Three Kingdoms
Clockwise Escape Room - Pleasanton
Escape room
IRL
I rate this experience a 3/5 (check out my bio for my rating system). This was another solid yet average room. The set was well designed and very much incorporated the fantasy theme of the room. The puzzles weren't particularly novel nor difficult, but it was still a fun and worthwhile experience. We did "Back to Childhood" at this business as well and I preferred this one between the two.
Chapter 1: Occam's Apartment
Off The Couch Games
Escape room
IRL
I rate this room a 4/5 (check out my bio for rating system). This escape room has a unique setup in that it is composed of multiple chapters. Three chapters are currently in play and I believe they are planning a total of 12. Because there is an overarching storyline, it's probably best to do the chapters in order, however, it seems that they have alternate scenarios for those who don't so that you don't miss anything, much like a catered experience. It is also unique in how you can earn credit for other chapters if you finish earlier than the allotted time. This particular room - Chapter 1 - had unexpected twists and turns and adequately introduces the story line. I didn't give it a 5/5 because of a certain 'time-sucker' which I initially liked (video game) but since it was required for a lot of the clues, it ended up taking a lot of time to plow through. We are also introduced to a scary (or is he actually a BFF??) character that will continue to make cameos through the next 2 chapters, at least. This is a high-quality escape room with some unique and fun clues. I look forward to the chapters to come!
Chapter 2: Norcross Art Gallery
Off The Couch Games
Escape room
IRL
I rate this room a 4/5 (check out my bio for rating system). This is the 2nd of the 12-chapter series that is the plan for this business. It is probably better to do the chapters in order, if possible, but the business seems to cater the rooms to how you are experiencing them, whether you do them in or out of order. Additionally, it is unique in that you get credit towards other rooms for completing rooms earlier than the allotted times prompting you to come back for more! So smart! This particular chapter's set design was impressive! You truly felt like you were in an art gallery with lots of hidden surprises. I knocked a point off because a few of the puzzle set-ups were used again in solving clues and they weren't particularly novel for me. But I did feel immersed in the experience and a certain character from Chapter 1 re-appeared (friend or foe??) which I found fun! My slightly skittish partner, not so much. 🫣 I look forward to doing more escapes at this business as the chapters are revealed.
Da Vinci's Secret
60Out - Hollywood
Escape room
IRL
I rate this room a 4/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). A MOST awesome GM named Alex agreed to let us do this one after we escaped the MOST excellent Wizard's Treasure room. The set and theme were average and flowed well together. Some pretty novel and creative puzzles that we'd never seen before. Alex provided just the right amount of encouragement through the game so we never needed to ask for a hint. The unexpected ending was the best part! P.S. Drink lots of water ahead of time because you'll want to check out the bathroom for additional fun! 😉
Wizard's Treasure
60Out - Hollywood
Escape room
IRL
I easily rate this room a 5/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). First off, best GM ever! Alex was welcoming, friendly and very enthusiastic about the rooms which made us all the more excited to begin. But not before we discovered a treasure in the bathroom! And in the lobby! Great warm-up for our room. The set and theme were wonderfully executed. The 'wow' moments were plenty. Solid puzzles including a couple we hadn't seen before. I enjoyed every minute of this room, so much so that we begged for a second one after we were done!
Escape the Darkest Hour: Torture Chamber
Mission Escape Games
Escape room
IRL
I rate this room a 3/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). The set matched the spooky serial killer theme perfectly. There were a couple fun surprises provided by our sneaky GM and a cool tech adventure. The puzzles were easy to medium in difficulty and nothing we hadn't seen before. I enjoyed the room well enough, therefore, would consider this an average escape room.
Treasure Island
Brain Games Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
Easy 5/5 room (ck out my bio for rating system). This was, by far, my favorite escape room I've done to date. Each category I rank on got more than 1 point in this surprise filled room. From the fantastic and intricately designed set along with it's charming theme to all the IYKYN additions (we hear you Christopher Walken), it did not disappoint in the least. There were quite a few novel puzzles and they were pretty intuitive so hints were never needed but the GM knew when to give a gentle nudge. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to doing more of their rooms.
