Ripley’s Marvelous Mirror Maze
Ripley's Haunted Adventure - Parkway
Escape room
Other
This is not an escape room, but exactly what the name advertises: a mirror maze carnival attraction. Lots of strobe lights, popular music, and pocket rooms to dance in. It’s pretty easy to go in as a whim as part of a package with other Ripley’s attractions. But don’t expect much more than a simple children’s attraction here. You can go in as much as you want once you pay if you just feel like getting lost and having a reflective rave!
Monthly Mystery #16 - Frostbite
The Escape Game - Online
Escape room
Virtual
It’s fun, and it’s free. With a caveat this time around. You need to have access to Instagram to play. The game starts with a YouTube video, then also involves Instagram. So from the start, it’s just less accessible. I guess it’s all for the sake of marketing and social media follows, and again, it IS free and takes about 1/2 hour or less. Just a shame they’re going this route.

The Family Curse
Brainstorm Escapes: The Conspiratory
Escape room
IRL
This is one of those, “Grandma/Auntie, what are you up to?” type rooms. It ramps up in an unintentionally hilarious way, and I unironically enjoyed this room because of it. Good variety of brain teasers and challenges. Fun for the whole cursed family!
Circus Of The Stranded
Brainstorm Escapes: The Conspiratory
Escape room
IRL
Fun but a bit small. Puzzles were good, though, and it’s pretty nonlinear so a group with more people could theoretically breeze through this. Though, again, it’s a pretty small space. I liked the idea of what the final task was, and it felt very liberating. I wouldn’t necessarily say come one, come all, but if you’re in the area checking out the excellent rooms in this city, then it might be fun to clown around.
Abstract Larceny
Brainstorm Escapes: The Conspiratory
Escape room
IRL
Thankfully, the puzzles at Abstract Larceny aren’t actually all that abstract! Everything made sense, though there were definitely a few things that were tricky to figure out. Room starts out dark, but there are ways to light up the room immediately. That said, some people might struggle because of the dimness of the room. Otherwise, it’s a pretty big space with a fun, sensical nonlinear structure. It has a surprising use for light tech that I enjoyed. I also liked the reverse-heist angle this room went for. Down with “very legitimate businesses!”
Swan Song
Brainstorm Escapes: The Conspiratory
Escape room
IRL
Overall ok room with a better than expected ending. The puzzles are mostly ok. It’s just that the room is ridiculously cluttered, and that’s part of the “puzzle” since there are scavenger hunt portions. Too many red herrings and distractions to really concentrate. Not really a tech room, but there is a surprising part. Not really a scary room, despite the theme. There are better rooms in this area and location, so I would say those are better for your escape swan song.
Game Night
CU Adventures in Time and Space
Escape room
IRL
Game Night rolls high in +amazing set design, +immersive worlds set in the realms of tabletop RPGs, and +clever puzzle quests that replicate the thrill of encountering dungeons and dragons! This escape room is not only one of my favorites at CU Adventures, but easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. From the moment you walk in, it’s a nostalgia dream that eventually becomes a grand fantasy with an epic finale. Our wonderful GM Nicole was also our splendid DM (dungeon master). As an in-game live actor, she perfectly inhabited the roles that such a DM might personify. A group of 4+ is required and also recommended for the puzzles and the full experience. Most enthusiasts should have no issue, and the fun is honestly the journey with your party. This room is worth traveling to IL for, along with the other amazing games CU has available. Game Night easily gets a Nat 20 on my dice!
Calling All Villains
CU Adventures in Time and Space
Escape room
IRL
Villain reporting for duty! CU Adventures is one of my favorite escape room venues in the US, and this room lives up to their awesomeness! The set design in the 1st room is superb, with neat areas to explore. The tech in the room is great, too. The area for the entire experience is huge, and almost demands lots of people, though our team of 2 were able to get through with some time to spare thanks to our amazing GM! The room makes excellent use of superpowers and tasking you to make use of them in an immersive Batman-like setting. There were parts where we definitely wouldn’t have found things or understood some logic without help from creative allies. And I don’t think this is as amazing as their other offerings, though that probably says more about the quality of their rooms as a whole. If you like comic book heroes, this is one of the best we’ve done for that genre. As a fan of Marvel, DC, and My Hero Academia, we were more than ready to answer the Bat signal and save the day, or perhaps, cause a little villainous mischief!
The Forest of Fables
CU Adventures in Time and Space
Escape room
IRL
Wowza! Some games have wow moments. The Forest of Fables has wowza moments! This game is a phenomenal example of storytelling through an escape room. Once upon a time, your adventure is narrated by your GM, a live actor who tells your tale with enthusiasm and elegance. I won’t spoil what happens, but I was blown away by the story progression, the magic I witnessed, and the surprises in store. I love fantasy fairy tales, and this room writes the book on how to achieve the genre in escape rooms! The time limit is 75 minutes to account for the real-time narrator, but veteran escape artists will likely get through it much quicker. I adored this room so much, and I’d love to say much more, but you have to see it for yourself! The Forest of Fables flips the script on what escape rooms can do, and I am so much happily ever after for experiencing it!
Monthly Mystery #15 - Cosmo's Lucky Landing
The Escape Game - Online
Escape room
Virtual
A cute, free virtual escape game from the folks at The Escape Game. The game is space-themed, though there are little elements of St. Patrick’s Day fittingly for March. The puzzles won’t take most people more than 1/2 hour, which should be a good time for a free game. These are always fun monthly treats! Good LUCK!
