Neighborhood WatcherThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLLovely addition to the EV cue. The acting adds some fun quirkiness to the room and the experience and there is a fantastic clue system indicator. Bros is still the most visually stunning, but this room doesn’t disappoint. It’s relatively small compared to some of the other spaces, but they use the space well.
Phantom Files: The Investigation Of Lockturne ManorThe Escape Ventures - Port CharlotteEscape roomIRLThis is a FANTASTIC room. My partner and I clicked on all the puzzles and loved the ambiance. There are some fantastic Easter eggs in this game as well and the actor interaction was top notch. Huge shoutout to Shadd as our wonderful GM.
Nightfall: Creature At Camp DeadwoodThe Escape Ventures - Port CharlotteEscape roomIRLTruly an excellent room. Great theming, fun puzzles that made sense in context and excellent actor engagement. Shadd was wonderful to have as a GM. This is probably my favorite EV game across their two locations currently.
Cinema 7Will To Escape - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis is a FANATASTIC room. This may be my favorite Orlando room after playing all of the heavy hitters. Perfect theming, great puzzles, lots to do. I fully recommend.
Murder In LondonSecrets Escape Rooms - TallahasseeEscape roomIRLThis was a lovely room and great for scenery snobs. The major challenge for this room was that it relied on some tedious tasks (searching for hidden items rather than puzzles), which detracted from some of the game play. Otherwise, the scenery and the logical order of the room was playful and fun. I loved the setup of this space and almost wanted more puzzles.
Blackwell ManorNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLTruly a fantastic room with movie-level settings.
La Mina Madrid [Brown Experience: The Mine]Colors by Experiencity [prev. Hidden Escape Room]Escape roomIRLGreat room with lots of solid puzzles. There were a bunch of unique elements to this room. The one downside was that it was super (intentionally) dusty so be prepared with your clothing choice.
Strange MagicMind MastersEscape roomIRLBeautiful game with some unique puzzles. The owners are clear enthusiasts and made the entire experience warm and inviting. We will be back as soon as they open their next room. It was a truly magical environment.
Bloodshed Bayou: Waters UnchartedLocksmith Escape GamesEscape roomIRLFantastic set design! And I loved the variety of puzzles that weren’t just kick and key. This is definitely their best room and the most fun to play. Although, there were some appropriative elements that had us cringing. Almost all puzzles made sense with the exception of one that had a lot of overlapping possibilities (the presented options were a little too similar). I would recommend this room.
La Entrevista [The Interview]Cubick Room EscapeEscape roomIRLThis was a great room. It’s a little spooky and full of adrenaline, but great for puzzle connections and the flow worked well.
