The Escape Ventures - Orlando

  • Escape room
  • IRL
Orlando is overflowing with highly recommended games. But after a short binge of some of the most loved companies in the area, Escape Ventures was the clear favorite for our group. They nail everything I want in an escape experience. The set design really nails all the little details. The gameplay and puzzles always feels logical, makes sense, and flows smoothly. And our GM, Nick, who is required to fill multiple roles in the game, was absolutely phenomenal. I suspect your experience with this game will really depend on your GM, but I've only heard good things from others who have played with a different GM. Escape Ventures seems to design their rooms with the knowledge that first and foremost, escape rooms are supposed to be FUN! This room, although a bit more modest in scope and scale than some of Escape Venture's other rooms (which are all also excellent, BTW) this room has quickly shot to the top of my all time favorite rooms. It is the perfect blend of nostalgia, creepy/scary, and humor. When I try to convey the magic of escape rooms to newcomers to the hobby, this room (and company in general) is one of the prime examples I'll be telling them about from now on.

Nevermore is an Edgar Allen Poe themed room. The space is small, but it never felt small. Even with our group of four it never felt cramped. The density of clever, creative, intuitive puzzles was impressive, and the scenic quality surpassed many far more prolific venues. Everything had a purpose. I might even dare to describe this game as elegant. We couldn't help but stop and exclaim "oh man, that is SO cool!" multiple times throughout the experience. The owners come from a haunt background and it absolutely shows in both the overall experience as well as the tiniest of details.

Escaparium - Laval

You'll have the best experience with the right expectations. Although your GM will inform you that this is more of an immersive narrative experience than a traditional escape room, you should also be aware that the GM will be holding your hand through a lot of the actual puzzling. Incredible set design and one of the most magical set transitions/reveals I've ever experienced. Our group was legitimately in awe and giggling like children for one particular moment in this game. That being said, the gameplay itself felt lacking, largely because we were never left to discover what the room had to offer on our own. The first portion is this experience is packed with a ton of puzzles and essentially you'll be working to complete as many as you can within an hour, and you should expect to not get to all of them. But because there is a ton to do, the GM/game designers didn't seem to account for time for players to explore and discover what this magical land has to offer. Even if the main point of the room is the narrative this just didn't feel compelling or satisfying. During the second half of the experience the hand-holding was increased and what initially felt thrilling soon become dull. There was also a few confusing/unclear puzzles that were hindered by some bad tech. All that being said, I can't help but applaud how ambitious this room is. I LOVE that escaparium really tried to push the envelope with this one and I will always want to check out what they do next.
