Dragon Realm
Mile High Escape Ops
Escape room
IRL
Dragon Realm was an entirely charming room. The props are in perfect condition, the puzzles all make sense, but best of all, you can tell that it was lovingly made. We stayed after to talk to the creator/owner and it was clear she has a passion for puzzles. She told us how her husband and her designed and made all but two elements of the room, and all the ways she’s changed the room over time. I can’t say the sets are as otherworldly as rabbit hole, but that’s not a bad thing, just different. This is definitely on the shortlist of top rooms and I’m sure you’ll love it as much as we did.
Ghost Light
MyssTic Rooms
Escape room
IRL
It’s a great game in a great neighborhood. Unlike other corporate run escape rooms, time and care has been put into making Ghost Light thematic and novel. With hundreds of escape rooms, it’s hard to differentiate; but without spoilers, Ghost Light found several way that are truly one of a kind. Only a handful of traditional locks, lots of tech, and VERY attentive GMs
Lunar Escape
Mission Escapes
Escape room
IRL
Oh man. This is something special. First off, the GM is the creator of the rooms and it’s clear that this is his baby. The puzzles are mildly physical, super interactive, and just plain fun. This won’t have the absolute most complex puzzles or microscopically detailed theming, but I promise you, this will be the most fun escape room you’ll ever do.
Room 303 - Chapter 1
303 Escape - Denver Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
Man was this one fun! Creative puzzles, spoooookkkyyy vibes, and a logical progression. The best part is the game starts the second you walk in. That is to say, you’re not solving puzzles during check in, but you’re immersing yourself from the get go. Haven’t tried chapter 2 yet but this one was so good, I’ve got to give it a go!
Montauk Project
MyssTic Rooms
Escape room
IRL
If you have to pick between rooms, choose this one. Some people were turned off by the stranger things theme; I’ve never seen an episode and it didn’t hamper my experience at all. So from the top, this room was just a collection of really clever puzzles. I wouldn’t say any of them were too hard, or made any thematic sense, but they were just an absolute joy to do. For example, putting X item on Y object shouldn’t progress the plot at all… but it was so much fun that I dot even care. The room was also very spacious and in New York, that’s a welcome asset. 9.5/10 and one of my top 5 I’ve ever done.
Pandora’s Box
Trapped! Escape Room - Las Vegas
Escape room

I keep asking, how can we continue to innovate with escape rooms? Where can we go from here? They found a way. Most escape rooms are about getting out; this one is about getting in. You’ll discover an artifact instead of break out of some disaster and it’s so much better this way. The staff interaction is also a very pleasant experience. Top 5 rooms so far.
Houdini's Workshop
PanIQ Escape Room - Midtown [prev. Clue Chase]
Escape room
IRL
I’ve only done a dozen or so escape rooms but Houdini places second to last. To begin, our host was a very, very nice man who came across way too strong. He essentially yelled the rules at us and made us all very uncomfortable. This was his way of being fun and energetic but it was just off putting. Then we get into the room and it’s a bunch of master locks. That’s fine for 2015 but there’s so many great rooms out there, paying $50 a head to do master locks is not great. In addition, this room is Houdini themed, in the sense that there’s four clues that are vaguely magic related. In my opinion, these are puzzles that have a magic paint scheme, rather than magic puzzles. Even then, there were a few puzzles I thought were fun and well designed, but even more that were busy work or frustratingly misleading. Now the good stuff: our host didn’t mean to be rude, he meant to be fun but there’s just a communication issue. The lobby is lovely and was an excellent place to wait for the game to start. If I was going to get yelled the rules, that couch was a great, comfortable spot to do it. You can book a private experience! $50 a head wouldn’t be bad, if the game was more interesting.
High Speed NYC
Exit Escape Room NYC
Escape room
IRL
Clever puzzles and pretty good theming made this an entertaining experience. The first half was truly special but the second half fell off and felt less subway themed and more… generic find the pattern. Still, one of the best rooms in the city!
Moonshine Madness

Escape room

I feel like I can copy and paste my reviews from previous speakeasy/bar escape rooms. You enter the speakeasy, you mix the drinks, you exit feeling mostly satisfied. You won’t remember this room in a month but it passes enough bars. There’s few master locks, the puzzles make enough sense, the place is well kept. Frankly the most I remember is the lobby is really nice- if that’s a good or bad thing, you decide.
Buried Alive
Epic Escape Game - South Denver
Escape room
IRL
Frankly, this would have been an awesome room in 2020 but it has a hard time competing with any modern room. There’s kind of only 2 tech elements (Andy that’s being generous) and all the rest are traditional locks. The ending was shockingly disappointing. Nonetheless the puzzles were all fair and the staff was arguably my favorite ever.
