Storyteller's SecretBoxarooEscape roomIRLVery high quality room, excellent puzzle design and flow and a very unique story line. However, due to the TERPECA status of the room we were a bit disappointed. It's definitely a standout experience but not, imo, top 100 room worthy. Still strongly recommended but temper expectations a bit.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLHigh quality game in terms of special effects and production value. Some of the puzzles were a bit unintuitive and certain scenes that should have been the high point of the story were not emphasized to the degree they could have been. That being said, amazing special effects and set design. Easily the best room in the region and a must do.
Παρεκκλήσι & Κατακόμβες [Chapel & Catacombs]Lockhill - Nea IoniaEscape roomIRLIncredible experience, a must do for any enthusiast traveling to Athens that can handle horror. Even if horror rooms are not your cup of tea I'd still reccomend going if you can manage. The setting and the story are easily the best I've experienced. The puzzles are alright, a bit on the easier side, but definitely take a backseat to the set and story. Definitely a must play deserving of all the praise it receives.
The Bar [La Taberna]The City Escape Room By ExperiencityEscape roomIRLWe ranked this game second place of the 10 escape rooms we played in Spain. This room is deserving of all of the praise it receives, it has a huge gamespace novel and interesting puzzles and top-tier set design. If I had one criticism, it would be that the game was pretty easy to complete overall, I personally would have appreciated more challenging puzzles. It's a little bit out of the way in Terassa, but it was absolutely worth the trouble of getting there.
Bites MotelBite The FlyEscape roomIRLThis room was easily the surprise of our Spain trip for me, I would rank it 4th out of the 10 rooms we played but only because the quality of other rooms was so high. I think it's underrated at #97 on TERPECA. the best acting I've experienced in a room, huge detailed gamespace, and just the right amount of challenge for the puzzles. Excellent use of lighting to help guide us through the space to the right room and create some extra suspense. As a side note, the game considers itself "tension" and says It's "not trying to scare you" on the website, but that's untrue they absolutely are, there are jumpscares and chase sequences. Make sure you have at least one somewhat brave member.
The Grand Parlor13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLVery large room with a ton of puzzles to complete, unless you're very experienced would recommend a large group. Some of the puzzles were a bit unintuitive and the gating on certain puzzles was frustrating at times. There was a lot of guessing which solution should be input where. Set design is excellent though, and a few puzzles were clever and unique. Recommend for large groups.
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLA really cool and unique room. The set and the puzzles were solid. Where this room really excelled was the story, one of the most unique that we've played. If you're looking for a room in NYC, this one would be my recommendation.
InvasionMind Factory Escape GamesEscape roomIRLAwesome room, my favorite that we've done so far in Connecticut. Excellent story and atmosphere, and the puzzles all flowed very well. Somewhat difficult for two people, but nothing felt unfair. Really high quality games at this location, I would recommend both of them.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - New JerseyEscape roomIRLUsually chain escape rooms tend to offer weaker experiences, but the escape game is an exception. We both loved playground, the puzzles were just the right difficulty and quantity for a group of four. The story is goofy and really just an excuse for the puzzles to exist, but it doesn't hinder the experience much. The set was very fun and nostalgic, and some unique puzzles were used. Definitely worth a play for anyone in the area.
Before MoonriseEscape New HavenEscape roomIRLSolid room, worth playing if you're in the area. A relatively high level of difficulty and a very strong hint system. Several cool puzzle ideas, so if that's what youre looking for, this room has it. The set design wasn't bad, but was very basic. A very good game but nothing really stood out.
