The Explorer's Diary (Mission)Hounds - Immersive ExperiencesEscape roomOther High quality game, but the GM gives way too many hints and one lock required a LOT of force to open (we got stuck for a while there)
Loot The LanesPier PressureEscape roomIRLThis was a fun and high quality room, but didn't live up to the hype for us - it was a lovely set, a bunch of nice and varied puzzles, but felt a bit too easy compared to other rooms I've liked, the two of us got out in 45 minutes. And it didn't really have similar specialness/novelty to other really highly rated rooms
Soggy Bottom BakeryMindworks Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLIncredible room, they do a great job of leaning into the bakery theme, high quality all round
Pushed for TimeEscape PlanEscape roomIRLThis room was cute. They had a good time though. I wasn't as impressed as I hoped to be from the reviews. A lot of effort was put into theming and set design and the puzzles were cute but ultimately not that difficult and we finished in not much time without needing any hints. Probably my least favourite of the Escape plan games but still worth doing
Temple of Shadows: Breaking the CurseEscape Nation LTDEscape roomIRLThis was a fantastic room. They really got the difficulty right. I often find rooms a bit too easy, but this room felt appropriately challenging while also feeling fair play and not having any puzzles that felt arbitrary or contrived. A very fun and satisfying room
The Ram RaidEscape ReadingEscape roomIRLThis lived up to the hype, a fantastic room! It's scored rather than just "did you escape", but this was done very well, it all felt fair play, rather than weird gotchas for the very last bits of money. A difficult but satisfying room.
L'Expédition Maudite [The Doomed Expedition]One Hour – VoltaireEscape roomIRLExtremely good. One of the most immersive and high effort to put into theming rooms that I've done highly recommended moderate but not extreme horror
Phantom PeakPhantom PeakEscape roomOther Not an escape room at all, but a very fun and original experience. Acting out the role of a RPG character doing side quests. The actors never break character. Generally a bit harming in over the top, but in a way that added to the fun lots of puns, including some original parodies of popular songs. I really enjoyed the puzzle hunt and would particularly recommend that
The LocktopusKnockout Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was an incredibly fun room, one of the best I've done in a while, about 5x as many puzzles as a normal room, with most optional. We got near the high score and still missed at least 20! High adrenaline, incredibly parallel. Though beware that you may leave annoyed at all the ones you missed!
Saint NickedClue CrackerEscape roomIRLThis was a delightful room. Cute Christmas theme, on the harder side, lots of locks. I enjoyed the puzzles, most were fairly standard but with several aha moments Used a fair amount of AI art, which may bother some
