Gold RushThe Escape Game - Las VegasEscape roomIRLMy first escape room! Very fun, did it by myself (which seemed fine) and had a great interaction with the staff. Really well-themed, it felt very immersive
Wizard’s AcademyHometown EscapesEscape roomIRLA good room, and fun! The puzzles all felt fair and enjoyable, definitely doable. A couple nice surprises/mechanics. Great hinting (not too much, so the puzzles don't get spoiled). A linear room, but with enough stuff exposed that there's lots to fuss over--even for a larger group. Our group of 2 barely got done in time, but the flow still felt good for us. Mostly mechanical, but the tech and theming is still great. Top notch GM too, it's great that they met up after to spell everything out and do a quick debrief. We'll definitely be back!
The DepthsThe Escape Game - Las VegasEscape roomIRLA fun room! Great themeing, really a top tier space. Ran it with 4 people (was on my own but got paired with others), which seemed like a reasonable number. Could have been solved with 2 or 3, but 4 or 5 seemed like a good number. Very logical flow
Shady Lady SaloonHometown EscapesEscape roomIRLGood experience, and great theming. Good variety of puzzles--mix of traditional and tech-y. A couple unintuitive leaps, and they did need to come in twice to resolve stuck tech...but everything seemed robust, and the flow was pretty solid. Great puzzle master, perfect clues (they gave the tiniest hints without giving away the puzzle), very friendly. It was definitely at the upper limit of what we could do with 2 people (one semi experienced, one not), 2-4 people would be ideal.
Temple Raider RoomEmerge Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLGreat theming, loved the live action intro, really a fun room! Doable with two people, but three or four would work well too. We'll be back!
Crisis At 1600: First Strike!Hometown EscapesEscape roomIRLSolid room! Mostly intuitive steps, some red herrings. Solvable by 2 people (including 1 first timer), but three might be better. A little spartan, but clear and well themed. We'd definitely come back to do more
ElectrovaultCountdown LouisvilleEscape roomIRLClever puzzles, cool atmosphere. We really enjoyed it--definitely possible with 2, though more could help
Wizard TrialsPanIQ Room - Las VegasEscape roomIRLNo physical locks, and all tech worked. A fun room but we didn't get out (our first failure!). With two people (one less familiar with escape rooms), it was just too much stuff to get through--even at a steady pace with no real hiccups. For us, a full hour would have been fine, instead of 45 minutes. Would have had a better experience with a successful outcome, but it was a nice, immersive room. Well decorated and friendly staff
The Big 4 HeistBig 4 EscapeEscape roomIRLSuper fun, with great customer service + game-master. Not quite as built up as more expensive/franchise options, but the value, the experience, and the narrative are great. Really feels like a labor of love, we're coming back to do the rest. Doable with 2 people, 4 would feel most comfortable.
The BunkerBig 4 EscapeEscape roomIRLA fun experience! 2-4 players seems ideal, we were fine with 2. Mostly good flow throughout, great employees. Considering the nice price point, we'll definitely be back!
