Servants of Sleight

Servants of Sleight

The Exit Games FL

It's hard to add to what others have already said about Servants of Sleight without using spoilers...it's best to go in with as little info as possible and trust that you will have possibly the best 90 minutes of gameplay in Florida, maybe even the United States. (We came from Iowa, not just for this, but MOSTLY for this!) Everything worked perfectly, every inch of each set was delightfully themed with exquisite touches. See that sprig of greenery down by the water spout? They didn't need to add that, but they did, and I saw it and applaud their details. We were a group of two and finished with 13 minutes to spare. Mostly we collaborated on each solve, but you could use the divide and conquer method as well. Our host, James, said it was a non-linear game, but we found it easy to move from one task/solve to the next without much back-tracking or losing the storyline. So, so, SO many surprises and clever reveals. A fully fleshed out storyline that puts the players INTO the story. You're not just solving a problem, or exploring the scene of a former event, you ARE the event and it's absolutely glorious from entry to exit. Looking at flights now to return so we can play their other game! 😉☺️

60 to Escape - Schaumburg

  • Escape room

This game was delightful from top to bottom. Puzzles are more like little mini-games, including a game I have been wanting to try for years! Relies heavily on nostalgia, so some fun could be lost on younger players. Not a lot of room to navigate so I can only suggest duos, or small groups where some folks are ok letting other take the lead. Everything was up to the standards I expect from this company, but some items do show wear, which is not uncommon in high traffic rooms. While 60 To Escape calls this a 7/10 in difficulty, I found it to be easier. It's very straightforward and your goals are laid out one after the other in a very orderly fashion. There is only one small chance for a puzzle to offer ambiguity, and even that isn't much of a hurdle. If that sounds like a complaint, it really isn't, it's a game full of fun, that will leave you smiling, not sweating with effort, and sometimes that's exactly what you need!

Aye, Mateys, I do enjoy a good pirate game and this here be a good one! Impeccable sets, fun "host" and the added layer of the bonus puzzles really helped this Curse feel more like a Blessing. Main puzzles layer over each other nicely. I like when later puzzles require info from earlier in the game and this has at least one of those. Like all 60 to Escape games, nothing is superfluous, it's all useful, so this was a real exercise in not overlooking anything....that can be hard for my old eyes, which failed to see a few details that would have helped me with the last two bonus puzzles. Ah well, at least I didn't have to walk a plank!

Trapped Puzzle Rooms - North Loop

We recently played two games back to back at this location and both were of absolutely stellar quality. All items in the rooms were in working order and very unique and thoughtfully used. There were so many clever touches, and the puzzles/actions required were well tailored to the room themes. Each room had "OMG!" moments and things that impressed us (the map in Dragon's Keep and one entire room in Witchcraft Alley.) Our game guide Brian was friendly and helpful, providing us hints when we needed them and allowing us to figure things out if he knew we were on the right track. I appreciate that he took the time to learn our game style/preference before starting. These games were of tremendous quality and value. (We paid more for a game at another place that had at least four missing/broken puzzles) and we are very much looking forward to returning and playing some more!

Fun puzzles and enjoyable. Several puzzles were not working, or were omitted for various reasons. This made it seem faster and possibly easier than it might have been. Very much liked the initial room, it had a lot of personality. Some of the props showed wear and could stand to be replaced, but they still served their purpose. We were initially set to play their Carnival game but because of an accident on the interstate we had to rebook to this room instead. I was glad they were able to accommodate us.
