La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLI was able to gather a random smattering of a coworker and two industry peers from a conference to visit this escape room. It has some really challenging puzzles, was an incredible production well worth the hype, and our tour guide did a fantastic job. Fantastic job to the creative team who put it together!
Storyteller's SecretBoxarooEscape roomIRLThis room was well-designed, with a satisfying puzzle loop that promoted exploration and rewarded players for remembering what they had done prior. I also thought the method of conveying the story and hints was very unique and thematic!
The StorykeeperLocurioEscape roomIRLThis escape room features immersive and intricate set design clever coupled with appropriately themed puzzles that all remain true to the cute and clever story. I had a lot of fun!
WreckedMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLWe travelled down to Charlotte for an escape room marathon at Masterpiece Escapes and did Ghastly Escapes, the Deadwood Saloon, the Coral Kingdom Aquarium, and Breakfast All Day. Wrecked was our joint favorite of all of the escape rooms - it was deeply immersive with music, sound effects, design, and thematic puzzles. We were impressed at the content density of the room and the energy as we played progressively escalated.
Ghastly Escapes - Ch. 1 The Bag ManMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLThe high-level meta theme of this escape room being an escape room really scratched an itch for me thematically and in terms of set design. The puzzles were on the simpler side to accommodate for the fact that the group is under duress. I enjoyed the effort put into world-building the grander narrative for this series. The acting was passionate and immersive and I recommend all to forgo the safety opt-out; it's not too bad. We did all the escape rooms at Masterpiece except for Metro Mayhem and Missing and this was our #3!
The Sins of Doctor FaustusCaptivating WorldsEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room with my friend! They were even able to make quick time accomodations for us, which was very kind of them. It is clear that there was a lot of time, love, and care put into the rooms, including a lot of consideration for the story. Highly recommended.
Level99 RoomsLevel99Escape roomOther After visiting Boda Borg a few years ago, I returned to Boston with a friend with it on the list. I quickly learnt that they required 3 players and so we pivoted to Level99 - it was a great pivot. I really enjoyed the integration of technology to track progression, the rapid flow from room to room, and every challenge.
Train RobberyCyber Raccoon Escape RoomEscape roomIRLI found it amusing how the game master was so humble about his 'pretty alright' escape room and 'standard' safety video compared to how much fun I had. I have found that I am growing increasingly fond of the Western themed escape rooms lately and how immaculate the decor and music are and this was no exception. I feel like I ought to have dressed like a cowboy to complete the immersion. Each puzzle was intricate, well-executed, and even plot-relevant (although one near the end was really wordy and stumped us because we over thought it), the mechanism to deliver hints was delightful, and the storyline itself was intriguing. I can't wait to come back to see the next in the series!

8-Bit EscapeEscape Room HerndonEscape roomIRLFrom the very moment I stepped into the room, I felt like I was in that era! I didn't know all the cultural references but there were enough that I was grinning with glee as I solved puzzles related to them. This room was just. plain. fun. While many puzzles were lock and key, there was also a particularly innovative puzzle type that wowed me. It was a bit short, but it was well worth it!
