Escape IT - The SewersEscape ITEscape roomIRLOverall fun, and the sets are top notch. It's like being in the movie. The actors do a fantastic job, and really make the experience. Many of the puzzles are pretty hard, made harder by the fact that they don't really belong in the It universe. Those that do fit are tons of fun, but the ones that don't make you think, "Why does It care about door keypad codes?" You can tell the actors that you want an easy experience and they will give you lots of hints, and then you can just enjoy being part of the It universe for an hour.

The Official SAW EscapeSaw Escape RoomEscape roomIRLI'm a huge fan of Saw, and the atmosphere of this house is fantastic. The live actor adds a lot to the experience, and did a fantastic job. It's a linear escape room, so you progress through a bunch of rooms, each one with a 3-7 minute puzzle. We didn't finish most of the puzzles, so I'm not even sure what many of them were. The creators seemed to miss a great opportunity with the Saw franchise, because many of the puzzles have very little to do with Saw. Jigsaw was always explicitly clear about what you were supposed to do, it usually was just an awful thing that you really didn't want to do. He never sent you looking for lock combinations, keypad numbers, etc. There were a few good Saw moment puzzles, but I really expected more "Fear Factor" style challenges that never came (e.g. no searching for a key in a tub of ice and body parts, no having to hold an electric shock handle while someone else completed a challenge, etc.)... bummer. Overall fun, if you like Saw, though.
