Neighborhood WatcherThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLOnce again they KILLED it!!! We loved the arctic one so much we stayed and did another one. The theming and atmosphere once again was incredible. I wish so badly other places could start making rooms like this. Nobody can compete with Escape Ventures. Actors, atmosphere, puzzles all top tier. Highly recommended if you are an escape room enthusiast do not pass this one up.
Operation Arctic Storm: The Final MeltdownThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis place is INCREDIBLE. I have done many escape rooms and nobody even comes close to how amazing this location is. The room was beyond expectations. Best room I’ve ever done. You absolutely feel like you are in the arctic. The atmosphere is great, the live actor was perfect, the puzzles unique. If you are in Orlando and you love escape rooms you HAVE to do this room. We loved it so much we stayed and did another and that one was also so much fun. It was expensive but worth it and I can’t wait to come back and do the rest of the rooms.
Clown TownIntense Escape - Tampa LocationEscape roomIRLAwesome place! We tried their new game Clown Town. This was our first time here and definitely exceeded expectations. The employees are all friendly and our game master was great. The room was a lot of fun, super large, great theming, very unique puzzles. I have done maybe 30-40 rooms, This one is probably top 5. We did have a couple of technical difficulties (this is a brand new room so understandable they might run into some kinks). The Owner was apologetic and gave us a partial refund even though we did not complain. Any business owner that treats their customers like that is a sign they care about what they do and care about their customers. I intend to come back and complete all their rooms. Highly recommended!
Aunt Suzy's CondoCheck Mate - Land O' LakesEscape roomIRLOverall I enjoyed the room. It’s a little small and with escape rooms getting better and better I don’t think it stacks up with some of the other spots in the tampa area. The atmosphere of the room was GREAT and I loved the music but the puzzles were okay. There was one specific puzzle that was super unique but other than that the rest weren’t necessarily out of the box or exciting. There is also candy in the room that you are actually allowed to eat 😂 I LOVED that and have never seen anyone do that before. I do plan to do their other room I hear that it is much larger and they are coming out with another that is going to be 90 minutes! I’d say this specific room is good for newbies but as an experienced player I could have skipped it. Because I enjoyed the set design and employees, also the price is great! I do plan to come back and continue to do their other rooms.
Mafia MayhemArcanum Escape RoomEscape roomIRLI HATE to leave a bad review. Especially a family owned business where the employees were friendly but this one just was not good. Now we went back in October 2023 so I’m not sure if they worked out the mechanical kinks but they have been open for a long time so when we went I would think the mechanical aspect should be perfect by now. Something triggered prematurely where he had to come on the speaker to inform us. Something was broken to that fact where he had to come into the room and fix it. The atmosphere was nice and there were some very unique mechanical aspects but that’s where it ends. The flow was good in the beginning but when you get to the final room the flow just vanishes and the puzzles are all over the place. He even told us we escaped then come to find out we didn’t even open something we were supposed to. We were not offered any kind of refund for the mechanical errors. I don’t expect a refund although I would have appreciated at the end acknowledgement that he was really sorry about the issues. there was no acknowledgement. I don’t recommend this place but I hope that they can work on these things and if so I would be happy to come back and try again if they open a new room.
