Servants of SleightThe Escape Ventures - Clearwater [prev. The Exit Games]Escape roomIRLServants of Sleight was a real puzzle fest! A great intro and smooth gameplay. A game that gets all the details right. Top tier transitions and subtlety. This game had us believing in magic and performing it ourselves šŖ Quite a few memorable moments, and quite a few more memorable puzzles. Set design was well done without being over the top, and the transitions into larger spaces were handled gracefully. Definitely a puzzle first game that still holds up today. Not my favorite at this location, but absolutely worth the play. James was a great GM!
MagnificoEscaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLāLadies and gents, this is the greatest show there isā There are no words to describe this other than Magnificent. Itās cinema, immersion, world building at its absolute finest, the set not simply a backdrop to deliver puzzles but a masterpiece of expression. Itās art you can solve, itās 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.
Pins & Needles Tattoo ParlorThe Escape Ventures - Clearwater [prev. The Exit Games]Escape roomIRLWe're Skinz's new apprentices! Pins & Needles was beautifully done. Josh and Tay crafted an excellent game here. Decor was tasteful and immersive, the set was great to experience, and the puzzles gave us reason to explore what we previously brushed over. The level of detail had me feeling quite immersed, and itās clear the owners cared about the overall experience for each guest. A joy to experience and a must play if you visit Florida. Silver did a great job as our GM!
ę¼é»ć®ęć [Shadow Zen]Studio Escape Daikoku-choEscape roomIRLShadow Zen was a joy to experience! We started in the streets of Old Japan, exploring and searching through the alleyways together. Puzzles were on the easier side, and the set was a standout. As we progressed, each new reveal made me smile. The game paid extra attention to the details, and was well polished. Everything worked perfectly, and we were able to play in English, though one puzzle needed some elementary Japanese knowledge. If youāre ever in Osaka, this is a must play game.
Le ChĆ¢teau du Supplice Ćternel [The Castle of Eternal Suffering]Sauve Qui Peut - Saint-JeanEscape roomIRLThe Castle of Eternal Suffering was a fantastic room. Very well executed storyline, very! Fun effects that had my whole group laughing and clapping, and physical challenges in addition to mental puzzles. We had a rough start with some seriously tough puzzles, but it picked up after that. One early game effect was fantastic. It was incredibly well executed, unexpected and completely a surprise. I have yet to encounter anything like it in 460 rooms before or since. The story made sense and puzzles were satisfying to solve, though we encountered one slight input issue with one. The second half of the experience was quite physical, much more so than other rooms. We had a blast climbing, crawling and balancing our way through. It was well done and a nice break from the mental workout. Eternal Suffering was a highlight of our trip and absolutely worth the trek over from Laval. Put this on your trip itinerary, I promise you wonāt regret it. š
La CathƩdrale OubliƩe [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.
Cornstalkers: Lost in the MaizeThe Escape Ventures - Orlando Waterford LakesEscape roomIRLRare does a game make me pause and just take it all in. Be it a perfect puzzle, aha moment, scenery or set transition. This game has multitudes. Sets were interactive and beautiful. Take some time to really soak it all in - TEV really poured over the tiniest detail and it shows! Listen to the custom music and have a great time at the fair. Enjoy story beats and scares so masterfully crafted. We had just the best time in here, and a certain moment I will cherish for a long while afterwards. Are you into puzzles, set, story, scares? It doesnāt matter, this game truly has it all. A masterclass on what to get right for escape rooms. Keilee was our GM, and she did a fantastic job!
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 wonāt be disappointed. Solved in about 3 hours.
The Man From BeyondStrange Bird ImmersiveEscape roomIRLThis experience is an emotionally resonant ābased on real lifeā story. It goes -beyond- escape rooms and tells a very well polished story. I think itās something everyone should experience at least once. Every second here was in theme. Hint system, theatrics and actors were perfect. Delectable. I canāt wait to experience Lucidity. Strange Bird have truly cooked up something special here. Thank you.
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.
