Servants of SleightThe Exit Games FLEscape roomIRLTop rated in the world and for good reason. This was our 40th room and we have never seen anything as immersive or well put together. The puzzles were challenging, but they were extremely well-designed, made sense with the storyline, so no hints needed. Will return for the other room that we did not try.
La LloronaOperation OutbreakEscape roomIRLAwesome room! Very immersive, well-designed sets. I am a haunt actor and LOVED their use of set designs, noise, actuators, and soundtrack to build tension. Unique story and not a rehash of the typical escape themes. Required some out of the box thinking, as the room was not quite as linear as other escape rooms.

Haunted HouseEscapology - MadisonEscape roomIRLEscapology's attempt at immersive was a fun room. While still well within their brand, they did some things with the environment, decorations, and effects that were new for them and it worked. It was a good story as well and the puzzles all fit together. Pros: Good atmosphere, soundtrack, and effects. Did not rely on combination locks and had some very nice electromechanical puzzles! Ending was great, wont say more without spoilers. Cons: Use of audio clues was good BUT...having multiple audio clues playing over each other was tough - especially at the low levels they played. Very linear room - no opportunity to work ahead or in groups. For that reason would not recommend for more than 4 ppl. To acheieve more immersion - would ditch the 3D printed props and plastic decoration/props as some of these were already broken.
A Pirates CurseEscapology - MadisonEscape roomIRLEscapology keeps getting a little better with sets and immersion but still a ways to go. The props and set design were great. Lots of electromechanical effects and minimal chasing combination locks. What combination locks there were, fit with the story and set. Good use of lighting and sound. Overall I thought this room was better than their Haunted House. Downside, you can still hear people in the lobby and the door chimes as well. The room was very simple and probably one of the easiest ones we've ever done. There was really never any question what came next, but it was a fun 34 minutes. Speaking of which, this location is still way overpriced. $50/pp for escapology in Alabama is not going to last long here I fear.
Lost CityEscapology - MadisonEscape roomIRLThe set pieces were nice, very small rooms, would not recommend for more than 4 people. Price is very high compared to other rooms in the area, and even Escapology nationally. Tech was good, as we weren't constantly chasing combination locks.
