Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLNothing to say that hasn't already been said. Extremely creative set design and puzzles. So many finishing touches that made this game go above and beyond normal "great" escape rooms. Definitely do this room!
La RébellionThe Cipher Room St PetersEscape roomIRLExtremely cool room. It had incredible set design and was an overall really immersive experience. The puzzles were unique and challenging, a good room especially for more experienced players. Probably the best room in Sydney!
Chapter 1: Occam's ApartmentOff The Couch GamesEscape roomIRLOff the Couch games offer a really unique experience for escape rooms that build on top of each other and vary based off of your decisions in the game. Episode 1 is excellent, with really specific and cool tech that adds to the overall experience. Highly recommend!
Chapter 3: The MorgueOff The Couch GamesEscape roomIRLReally novel theme, loved that the room had breakout side quests you could complete. Challenging puzzles. Only nitpick is that I felt a bit misled about the scariness of the room. I am not really able to handle rooms with jump scares, which I explained to the owner. I was assured I'd be fine if I didn't do the side quests. However, there was at least one jump scare outside of the side quests. This made me on edge the entire game and less able to focus because I didn't feel I could trust my GM. I think this was likely due to a miscommunication between the owner and my specific GM, but I hope this doesn't happen again for future episodes. Otherwise, I won't be able to complete the arc. But this is a really excellent room and highly recommend.
The Battle for BritainEscape PlanEscape roomIRLThis is one of my all time favorite rooms. I had so much fun! The room starts as a more traditional and linear escape room, but the second room is filled with a TON of mini puzzles and a unique scoring system. We did it with two (experienced) people, but think the room could support 3-4 players. Everything was super well themed, and the game flowed well. Out gamemaster was fun and enthusiastic to boot! Highly highly recommend doing this room if you are in London!
The Marlowe HotelThe Cipher Room NewtownEscape roomIRLWhile I have done many detective themed rooms before, this one is the best I have done. The black and white theming was extremely well done and made the room so immersive (definitely dress in black and white as well). The puzzles were challenging as well, although some were quite similar to the puzzles in La Rebellion.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - CincinnatiEscape roomIRLThis isn't a difficult escape room, but there are a lot of puzzles and it is overall just very fun. We did this with 3 experienced players and thought it was perfect.
The AttractionPalace GamesEscape roomIRLThis is a really unique room, and they do a great job with the set and really manipulating the space. However, I didn't feel like this room was really about the puzzles. For the most part, it felt like I was just completing tasks. While I still think this was an overall enjoyable experience, I expected more for the price and for a room on the TERPECA list.
Forest of EchoesNext Level EscapeEscape roomIRLThis is a unique room that's worth doing if you are in Sydney. It's more plot driven and narration focused than most escape rooms, which makes it a unique experience. The puzzles were challenging - And a few were extremely clever. Good set design, had a fun experience.
Chapter 2: Norcross Art GalleryOff The Couch GamesEscape roomIRLWell themed and high tech escape room. Of the 3 rooms currently at Off the Couch games, this is the most "typical" escape room.
