Arizona Steampunk RailwayNorth Valley Escape RoomEscape roomIRLMy two person team HATED this room. The objective was never clear and you spent alot of time wondered what you were supposed to be working on. I still think that many people would like it, and I appreciate the room for it's unique puzzles and amazing set design. Those smoke and mirrors don't make up for the flawed game play through.
Dead Man's CoveEscape Hour AustinEscape roomIRLWe travel around the country doing escape rooms. The sets of these rooms are well made but I don't have much else positive to say. A well made set will often lead an otherwise bad room to good reviews. The staff were just going through the motions and didn't even walk us through the other room we didn't finish. This pirate room is fairly easy but the flow and story make it weak. My group did 2 and decided to walk away from this company. Not for us
ChainedBlack Cats Number One Escape Room [prev. Number One Escape Room]Escape roomIRLWould have been great but there isn't a clock in the room or anything to tell time. One puzzle is alot longer and harder than the rest, throwing off the flow of the room.
Wizard TrialsPanIQ Room - AustinEscape roomIRLVery high tech, and some slightly broken elements and worn set signage. Very nice room decor but tricky puzzles that left you unsatisfied that you actually solved it. Was very hard to know what happened when something happened. Staff were only ok but not very engaging.
Enchanted The Dark ForestVillage EscapesEscape roomIRLSometimes the small town rooms surprise you and this one definitely did. Really great set design. I think more than 4 people would be a bit crowded. My only small complaint was there wasn't much connection between puzzles and locks so you needed to try several with the same combo. It was on the easier side, even with lock confusion but would be amazing for kids. Price was great and it was fun.
The Egyptian ChamberEscape in 60Escape roomIRLNothing but key pads and no way to know or keep track of which have been completed. Generally not fun
