MagnificoEscaparium - LavalEscape roomIRL“Ladies and gents, this is the greatest show there is” There are no words to describe this other than Magnificent. It’s cinema, immersion, world building at its absolute finest, the set not simply a backdrop to deliver puzzles but a masterpiece of expression. It’s art you can solve, it’s stately and affecting. Pageantry and poignancy. Splendor and sorrow. This room has it all. We laughed. We cried. We encountered multidimensional and nuanced characters. The puzzles were diegetic and fun. The sets were grand yet incredibly detailed and full of life. The storylines at the Circus were tangled, yet clearly delineated - more than enough to deliver a cumulative emotional payoff. The more I live with the memory of my time there, the more my admiration has grown. To say this is a great room would be a gross understatement. This is the best room I have played in my entire life. I am smitten with Magnifico.
La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLWe had a great tour of Escaparium's Cathedral! Such a fantastic game. The scale is unrivaled, the sets are intricate and detailed and the puzzles were in theme and just worked. The story really sucks you in from the beginning and refuses to let go. Like a rollercoaster, each new reveal and twist builds and builds to the final scene, one which I will remember for years to come. I know the term 'must play' gets thrown around a lot, but seriously. Must. Play.
Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLAbsolutely my favorite game of all time. I've played it twice, once in 2021 and again in 2023. Somehow it got even better, I'm not joking. Extremely well maintained, great set decor and puzzle flow. The feedback when you finish a puzzle is fantastic. I love the music and lighting. I will definitely be back for CarTuners.
The Sherlock HomeSolve The Sherlock HomeEscape roomOther Wow! This airbnb is truly one of a kind! We booked this place for one night only for our Texas Eclipse trip, and had a remarkable time. Everything, from entering the front door, to solving the final puzzle was a fantastic experience. One of the best escapes in Texas, genuinely. Book this experience - I promise you won’t be disappointed. Solved in about 3 hours.
De Wraak Van Han [Han’s Revenge]De Gouden KooiEscape roomIRLDetail in the highest degree. Felt like playing a Hollywood movie. Amazing sense of progression and top tier set design.
The Man From BeyondStrange Bird ImmersiveEscape roomIRLThis experience is an emotionally resonant “based on real life” story. It goes -beyond- escape rooms and tells a very well polished story. I think it’s something everyone should experience at least once. Every second here was in theme. Hint system, theatrics and actors were perfect. Delectable. I can’t wait to experience Lucidity. Strange Bird have truly cooked up something special here. Thank you.
The Cairo ConnectionEleventh Hour EnigmaEscape roomIRLThe Cairo Connection is a solid Egyptian puzzle fest. A good game with unique puzzles make this a good addition the Eleventh Hour Enigma lineup. A really fun hint system and lots of tactile puzzles. Good feedback and unique puzzles that were fun to solve. I think the puzzles definitely are the highlight of the room. We did have a small tech error, which was resolved rather quickly. Overall a great experience and owner. If you’re in the state to do Sanctuary, this venue is definitely worth the drive over.
RobotopiaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLThe first hour flew by. Good decor and set design. I especially liked the re-use of some spaces we had already been. I'm not sure how I feel about the last hour. I see why this game is decisive. Guess you'll have to play it yourself and see how it measures up!
Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLAbsolutely fantastic, best game in SoCal, no question. You are doing yourself a disservice for not playing this game. I cannot wait to come back again for any future rooms.
