WreckedMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLWe liked this room a lot! The sound and decor was top notch. The first part is fairly linear, but the second half is not. I had some mixed feelings about some of the puzzles in the first part, but the puzzles in the last third were really well integrated into the story and to me that made them more satisfying.
Help WantedEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLThis is an awesome escape room. The theme/story is very unique and fun. But the highlight is how well they do character interactions in the game. Some of the characters are real people and some not, but both SO well done. And yet, there’s still so much left to you to solve. (In contrast with The Bureau in Orlando which I felt had too much leading.)
Sasquatch: Bigfoots Revenge!Escape The NetherworldEscape roomIRLA definite new favorite of mine. Some jump scares and a great overall creepy ambiance. Some puzzles harder than they needed to be, thankfully our GM was helpful. These guys have story, atmosphere, and room design down, but they could probably improve on some of the puzzle designs. But the room was really enjoyable overall, and I look forward to trying more of their rooms in the future.
Haunted MausoleumEscape LOLEscape roomIRLGood theme. Spooky but not scary. Lots of puzzles and several rooms. Friendly GMs. Our family had a fun time!
The Deadwood SaloonMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLEntertaining. Not as good as Wrecked but more appropriate for kids.
Pandora’s BoxTrapped! Escape Room - Las VegasEscape roomIRLI loved this room. It’s probably in my top 5-8. There were only two of us, but it was a good number since it’s so linear.
Puppet Heist: The Hand Of LifeThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLThis room was unlike any of the other 30+ rooms I’ve done. Excellent use of characters and tech. Highly recommend. But probably most suitable to a group of 4 (we had 9). Not as many things to solve or figure out as some escape rooms.
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - The BatteryEscape roomIRLI’ve done two Escape Game rooms. One in Vegas and one in Atlanta. This ATL one was WAY better. But partially I think it was better because my friend and I had a private room in ATL while in Vegas we were lumped in with the most random collection of characters, some of whom never seemed to have done a 12 piece puzzle. I understand that’s not specifically an issue with the Escape Game. But I don’t LOVE that they don’t do private bookings with small groups. Most escape rooms companies provide that these days.
The Legend Of AtlantisBackstage Escape GamesEscape roomIRLLovely room. Relied a lot on a book, but it definitely helped to move the room along. A couple of longer puzzles, but not bad when you had 4 people. Required 3 people at a minimum. But 4 was very helpful. We used 2 clues. My 9 and 7 year old figured out a couple of the puzzles that my husband and I didn’t.
MutinyEscape Plan ColumbiaEscape roomIRLKids 7 and 9 really enjoyed it. One particular hard to see and hard to move puzzle that wasted a good amount of time. We needed our clues. The set was really well done.
