Servants of SleightThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRLIt'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! 😉☺️
Witchcraft AlleyTrapped Puzzle Rooms - North LoopEscape roomIRLWe 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!
Impossible MissionLock and Key EscapeEscape roomIRLFun 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.

ScallywagsRiddler's Escape - TampaEscape roomIRLQuaint and well done. Thoughtful touches and several unique puzzles that I really enjoyed solving.
Genie And The LampGame Over Escape Rooms - BrandonEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed the fun mechanics of this game and the interesting ways in which the puzzles were solved. We had difficulty getting started, but it was more about us than the game itself, we sometimes need to get out of our own heads. The "carpet" puzzle aspect, while clever and fun, maybe went on too long, was a bit finicky.
Top SecretGame Over Escape Rooms - BrandonEscape roomIRLMy least favorite of the rooms I did at this location. Relied too heavily on doing the same thing too much for my taste. Felt like there should be "more" and I was actually shocked when we reached the end. Used a very fun and interesting camera for one puzzle.
Family HeirloomCryptiq EscapesEscape roomIRLVery fun experience, with thoughtful puzzles that matched the storyline. Host was fine, quite stoic, but provided help when we needed it and was obviously paying attention and knew what we were hung up on. Props showed some wear, but in certain areas that matched the theme of the room.
Curse Of Colchester CemeteryCryptiq EscapesEscape roomIRLDelightfully atmospheric, including sound effects! Good puzzles, but sometimes we knew what to look for because of the provided run book. Well done story.
