The Wonderful Wizard of Oz13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLExcellent room! Well-eingineered and superbly decorated. Puzzles were unique and varied, and are linear. There are multiple rooms, each of which feels very immersive. We (my husband and I) are experienced puzzlers and enjoyed the room, but definitely want to try out some of their harder rooms for some puzzles that are more brain-bending! I would absolutely recommend this room to anyone and everyone.
The LibraryDecode Detroit - YpsilantiEscape roomIRLGreat little room!! Novel gameplay featuring a linear series of small puzzles. A surprisingly wide range of puzzle types, and each one was uniquely satisfying. Definitely a bit lower in difficulty than I personally prefer, but I still had a fun time. Decor was also very well done.
The Mind's EyeEnter the ImaginariumEscape roomIRLSummary: one room, high tech, linear, not very tactile, brain puzzles I'm of two minds here. The great: The room used high-quality materials, told a good story, and presented unique puzzles. The puzzles are thinking-heavy, not things like placing pieces in the right order/location, bouncing lasers, balancing scales, etc. The meh: The room was not very tactile. There was hardly any doing jigsaw puzzles or opening locks, etc. Honestly it felt like the whole thing could be a virtual escape room and not lose too much of the enjoyment. For the high price, this was the biggest issue for me with Minds Eye. We had four players, and that was fine. 3-4 is probably ideal since any more and some people wouldn't be able to get in on the puzzles.
Infirmary: Surgical CrisisThe Great Escape Room - RochesterEscape roomIRLNice room! Challenging puzzles. Semi-serial, so can have people working on different thing simultaneously. Some fun dexterity needed in addition to the intellectual hurdles.
