Pins & Needles Tattoo ParlorThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRLThis whole was very cool! I enjoyed the theme of the tattoo shop since it’s different from anything else I’ve played. I would really recommend doing this room to anyone!
Agatha Christie's Murder On The Orient ExpressEscapology - GainesvilleEscape roomIRLThe overall experience was pretty bad. The room was visibly very well designed. That’s the one thing I love from the room. Some of the first puzzles were different from any I had seen. Then it went downhill quickly. The puzzles started to not make any sense with nothing flowing together at all. Once we figured out the confusing puzzle, the room completely broke. The owner and employee came into the room and started to pull apart the TV to fix what was happening. This just really threw us off since it took us out of the story and wasted a lot of time. The owner also was just standing there watching us while the employee worked on getting the room started again. After all of that, my group had a hard time getting back on track. Then the room started to get really hot. We were on the last puzzle (which was very dumb), there wasn’t enough clues to actually help us solve it on our own. The game master had to give us some of the answers. Overall, I’m not going back to an Escapology again. I’ve had other issues with different rooms at this escape room franchise. By the end, we were all frustrated about how everything went and the employee did not make it better. “This escape is suppose to be hard and make you want to give up.” (Our game master). It made us even more upset to hear that since none of us had agreed that an escape room should want that.
Game MuseumMurfreesboro Escape Rooms [prev. Locked: Escape Game Murfreesboro]Escape roomIRLNot a terrible room but I didn’t love how the staff took care of the issues in the room. We got to start our game a little early and came across multiple problems in the room. Between not being reset correctly and puzzles not working. The GM only added a minute to our time after the issues. Even though we got to work on the last puzzle at the very end, the GM didn’t let us finish the room. The puzzles didn’t flow well together. A lot of jumping around to puzzles and not knowing which one was the ending. On top of this being rated as their easier room, there was a lot of puzzles to do in this room and half of them were complex puzzles. Some of the ways they gave the codes would disappear after a few seconds when you still have to get the rest of the code. Overall, the room didn’t flow and wouldn’t recommend. I wish the staff would have handled things better in the end. Even just giving a few extra minutes to finish the room since we only needed like 3 minutes to finished the room.
