Neverland: Heist On The High SeasImprobable Escapes - WonderlandEscape roomIRLNeverland was an incredibly immersive and fun online experience for my whole family. Being huge fans of Peter Pan as well as being so impressed with Improbable’s Triwizard Trials, I logged into this game with high expectations and this absolutely did not disappoint ! Some of the effects were so incredibly magical I was amazed at how good they looked over my computer, the game master did an amazing job being in character and guiding us and the room itself was absolutely perfect looking ! Some of these puzzles were so incredibly fun to play !! Some of the other puzzles were by far some of the most challenging puzzles I have come across. That being said, the game felt absolutely magical right from the introduction and I played the entire game with a huge smile on my face.
The Amsterdam CatacombsLogic Locks - The Amsterdam CatacombsEscape roomIRLThe Amsterdam Catacombs is by far one of the most immersive, unique and impressive rooms I have ever played. The effects are above and beyond what you would expect, especially given I was playing virtually, the rooms are unlike any you will ever encounter again and the game master was incredible !! This game was super creepy to say the least. My only regret was wishing I could be there in person to play this game . I would have loved to much to walk through the rooms and see if I could play as bravely had I been in the actual room. I do not possibly have the words to explain just how great this room is!
Virtual ExorcistEmergency Exit Escape Room - OnlineEscape roomVirtual The Exorcist was by far one of my very favourite virtual horror games. The effects were super impressive, the acting was great and the integration of film clips smoothly transitioned to creat an amazing overall creepy experience. The puzzles were all unique, the room was immersive and, after playing, we were all so excited that we all stayed on zoom to talk about how great it was for quite some time afterwards.
Miss Jezebel60Out - DowntownEscape roomIRLMiss Jezebel is the perfect room to round up your raunchy friends and have an insanely great time. The actor is absolutely fabulous and the game will get as crazy as the players like. Miss Jezebel will go along with the flow and comfort level of the group but she had us all literally in tears of laughter many times during the game. As long as you come open minded, this game will easily be one of the most fun virtual experiences you will play !!
NorikoEscape Games CanadaEscape roomIRLHaunting of Noriko was one of the very first in person room escapes I played. The attention to detail to make this room fully immersive was fantastic. Without giving anything away I can say that my teammates and I all split up in an effort to complete the room and , while separated, we all were yelling to each other how freaked out we were..lol. The puzzles were great, the atmosphere was incredibly eerie and, though we did not escape (we were sooo close), we loved it so much we went back there to play there again three more times. With several years of escaping now under my belt, I plan to return and try again !!
Nyctophobia: Fear of the DarkOmventure - ScarboroughEscape roomIRLThis is a really unique and fun experience. Though the game itself being completely in the dark, the scariest part is not knowing what will happen and your imagination. My team and I spent a lot of time nervous giggling and accidentally scaring each other lol. Definitely a fun time :)
CrossroadsEscape Games CanadaEscape roomIRLCrossroads was a very immersive game with a creepy vibe. As with Noriko, they did a great job of making you feel you were part of the story with a perfect room setup and props which gives the room the perfect boost to let you lose yourself in the storyline.
The Triwizard TrialsImprobable Escapes - HQEscape roomIRLThis room is a MUST for fans of Harry Potter or even just magic. The props used for the games and the tech involved were incredibly impressive and the puzzles were quite unique as well. The room was absolutely breathtaking !! I played virtually but wow would I have loved to get to run around with a magic wand and interact with all of the magical creatures!! They did a great job keeping it fun and immersive for virtual play and this is for sure a game I will remember for a very long time !!
AtlantisEscape Room LAEscape roomIRLI played Atlantis digitally . If you can, go in person as this room looks so beautiful in the digitized version, i can only imagine how great it must be in person. That being said, it was a really fun digital experience. It is a very immersive online experience as far as digital games go and has a decent range of puzzle styles and difficulties.
Night TerrorsMystery Mansion Regina - OnlineEscape roomVirtual Yesterdsy my team and I had the pleasure of playing the digitally hosted game of Night Terrors at Mystery Mansion Regina . Having already played and loved both Deville’s Curio Shoppe and The Sleepy Man as live avatar games (easily two of my favourites), I was very excited to play the remaining game of the trilogy. Our whole team had an amazing time. They have gone above and beyond with Game Mastering in character and have made so many additional videos to the game that other then the fact you click to look around the room, you would think the whole game was live avatar. What a seamless transition !! This game really needs it’s own category as the story is choice driven like a Choose You Own Adventure yet it is done in such a way that it is totally immersive. This is for sure by FAR my favourite digital game yet but please know that it really deserves it’s own category as it plays so much more like an incredibly immersive live avatar.
