Servants of SleightThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRL8.8/10 Don’t miss out on this experience. The team at The Exit Games have out done themselves with this magical experience.
Pins & Needles Tattoo ParlorThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRL9/10 Theme, puzzles, production, and story were extraordinary! Definitely worth traveling to Clearwater, Florida just for this experience!
La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRL9/10 The Forgotten Cathedral should change its name to The Unforgettable Cathedral because it’s an experience you will carry with you for ever. The production is cinematic, the story is beautifully weaved throughout, the puzzles are a perfect balance of challenging/originality/fun/satisfying, and the sheer size of the space is completely jaw dropping. This is by far one of the best escape room experiences in North America.
De Wraak Van Han [Han’s Revenge]De Gouden KooiEscape roomIRL10/10 The most perfect escape room I have ever played. The story is original, the puzzles are brilliant, and the experience is so immersive, when it ends, you will be shocked that it was all a game. Can’t wait to come back and play it again.
The Lost Treasure Of Alexander Von HumboldtThe RoomEscape roomIRL9/10 Another phenomenal experience by The Room. Puzzles were the perfect balance of challenging and intuitive. The atmosphere was unbelievable and the room expands in unexpected ways. Be prepared to be wowed again and again!
The Starlight MotelEscape Artist Greenville - DowntownEscape roomIRL8/10 This is a room that if you go in with other amazing players it will make this experience far more fun and memorable. Fun puzzles, great interactions, wonderful use of the space. Go in, get weird, have fun, and enjoy this amazing thrill ride.
Dark LullabyEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRL8/10 Escape Artist Greenville know how to scare you because this room got the hairs on my back standing on end multiple times. This room will keep a small group busy with its puzzles, have you on your toes the entire experience, and surprise you in the most excellent ways.
漆黒の悟り [Shadow Zen]Studio Escape Daikoku-choEscape roomIRL7/10 Shadow Zen is a beautiful experience with Studio Escape managing to pack immersive set pieces within the confines of their limiting space. Their puzzles, original and satisfying, never feel out of place and always fit to theme. A room this is intimate should be played with 2 players so you can experience everything together. 3 would be pushing it, for there isn’t a whole lot to explore or do. More experienced players can easily cruise through this room in 30 minutes or less, so I would recommend doing your best to take your time and enjoy the set pieces. This is a great game if you happen to find yourself in Osaka. I wouldn’t say it’s worth the trip on the Shinkansen from Tokyo just to play it. Does it deserve its 95th spot on the 2024 TERPECA listing? I would say yes. But it might not make the list for 2025.
Geisterjäger Brandon Darkmoor [Ghosthunter Brandon Darkmoor]The RoomEscape roomIRL9/10 Understand going into this room that it is more of an experience than a puzzle based timed escape room. Expect beautiful set designs and production. Not difficult puzzles and brain teasers. The story, interactions, and tech are marvelous and I have yet to see any other escape company make an experience like this.
RobotopiaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRL7/10 Like all of Omescape’s experiences, the set design, tech, and production are top notch. My issue is that there are sections of this room that are less fun and more exhausting. Doing the same thing 4 or 5 times in a row without any variation can be fatiguing.
