Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLThe puzzles flowed so well in this game, from the story told between puzzles to how intuitive these puzzles felt. Loved this game and I'm so excited for their next one. This may be a strange compliment, but their puzzles felt sturdy with attention to detail. The intention behind this room is not to speed run it, but enjoy your experience.
RobotopiaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLInteresting delve into the world of robots. I felt like this one was a little unintuitive but also very very creative. Would recommend for 4 people!
Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLHands down my favorite room in my area. This is a unique immersive experience that is more than just an escape room. The actors take you through a journey and some may experience unique journey that may bring you back for more. For example, multiple endings may be available. Be prepared for a "haunted mansion" like experience
Crane ManorClue IQEscape roomIRLGreat feel for an escape room. I felt the puzzles were all intuitive and felt great to solve. Would highly recommend! We did this with just two people, I think 3-4 is ideal to get everyone involved but 2 is very manageable. The story of the headless horseman now has us added to the list :) There will be some loud noises but venture forth! Be not afraid.
UndercookedOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLOne of my absolute favorite games. Cook and puzzle like you mean it! The more minds you have together that can work together the better! So much variety and so many things to do. You will more than likely run out of time before finishing everything. This is one I'd replay just to explore the rest of what I missed. Would recommend for 6 people!
Operation GryaznayavodaIn Search Of An ExitEscape roomIRLPatrick was such a great host. We ran this room with 3 people, but could be feasible with 2. Immersive from beginning to end. The storefront and introduction to this room was an absolute blast. I was surprised to find that this room landed in my top 10 just because of the performance. This was a great adventure filled with puzzles and story.
Cutthroat Cavern13th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLI have to first say. This room has so much potential, I've done over 70 rooms at this point and I was actually floored with how amazing and immersive the set design is. But the game master, Kate in this case, wasn't responsive and really set a sour tone for us in the second half of this room. We were asking for help and were given unhelpful clues and followed by being ignored. Her explanation at the end didn't give us much closure either. Some of the puzzles while thematic and interesting, just felt like we were wasting time and didn't end with that satisfying solve. But rather just a "I guess we're done with this one, what's next. We did 4 rooms in one day, and I really wanted to love this room." But I left feeling the worst I've felt in a long time after doing an escape room.
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLFANTASTIC ROOM that has all the references and easter eggs your heart could dream of. It's a room that doesn't take itself seriously at all, yet is packed with fun puzzles and is an experience to just be in this room. Lots to do, lots of treasures to discover. I'm wishing I could do this room all over again. Also comes with a free drink! Great room for 4 people, but we did it with 5, there's enough to do, look, and see for everyone. Daniel was a great and passionate GM who insisted that we stay for another room afterwards.
The Edison Escape RoomPalace GamesEscape roomIRLMy favorite room that I've played so far. There's so much to do here and they adjust difficulty for the amount of people you run the room with. The puzzles felt satisfying to solve and require a lot of coordination and teamwork, so definitely bring your best. I appreciated how much effort you need to put into these puzzles. It felt rewarding and honestly worth the price point. The way they set this up is you pay for the room and bring as many people as you'd like. The place is a little hard to find as you need to go all the way around if you want to park right where they are. But if you're okay with walking, park nearby and walk to the back of the building to find the entrance, if you make it, congrats on finishing the first puzzle! Thank you Edison for all that you've done for us.
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLLORD GARRICK (Julian) thank you again for inviting us to your lovely supper. We greatly enjoyed your company as you graced us with your presence, left the room, graced us again, left the room... and so on and so forth. But truly our chats will stay forever in my corazon as we immersed ourselves in your stories, followed your rules, and never...ever left our seats. One of the few rooms I'd be happy to play again!
