Level99 RoomsLevel99 - ProvidenceEscape roomOther Not an escape room, more of a real life video game. There are similar type activities in the RI and MA area. Though Level 99 is the only one where the activities extend beyond the individual rooms to scavenger hunts and other art based puzzles all over the place. Everything allows you to earn stars and those will stick with you through multiple visitis. The food is over priced and not worth it, especially with a decent food court on the same floor (and nice restaurants outside the mall). Your time starts as soon as you pay (they give you a couple extra minutes to start) not when you all tap in for the first time, so don't pay early while waiting for your friends to finish setting up their accounts (the computers are very slow and it takes longer than you might thing your first time).The layout is rather confusing, and you will waste time looking for the next open room, with doors squeezed in to random places and easy to miss. You can customize your icons and name on touch screens but only while under paid time, and not in a room (often done while waiting for the next room, though you cant check in early or set up a proper line due to space and the system not being able to handle tracking multiple groups waiting). Expect multiple rooms to be closed (our group went shortly after opening, and even before you could pre-pay online) and several rooms which were open the day before were closed (likely due to damage or computer malfunction). There is a lot of automation and not a lot of people maintaining it so it isn't surprising, you can also expect things to not work perfectly and perhaps fail you on a room to a calibration issue. Over all it is a fun, exhausting, hectic, expensive, and frustrating experience. You will find yourself rushing from one room to the next, while then waiting for extended periods for it to be available. Some rooms take longer to complete than others, and some can't be failed accidentally leading to longer wait times. There are a good mix of physical and mental challenges, though many are not ADA compatible (one had a large step up we wasted most of our time getting one of our team members just into the room, a small step shouldn't have been a problem, especially since the room itself wasn't that physical). Some competitors start your time when the door closes, this starts are soon as the door opens so be sure to get your entire group into the room quickly.
Great Big Game Show: The Original [Immersive Experience]Great Big Game Show - Las VegasEscape roomOther This is not an escape room, per se, but our team won and so I am counting it a victory! If you ever wanted to know what it felt like to be on a game show this is a must do experience. You are randomly assigned a team and go head to head with your opponents playing variations on all of the classic game shows you grew up watching. The games are randomly assigned so you never what you will play and you go back again and have a whole new experience. The set is amazing with buzzers, giant game screens, and a Price is Right-esque big wheel. You have a live host who keeps the game moving and will even allow you to spin the big wheel just for fun at the end. I love, love, love this room and the concept!
Deep Space5 WitsEscape roomOther This is a unique experience and would make a great introduction to the world of escape rooms. The sets are top notch and absolutely capture the immersion of the genre. The puzzles are great and actually quite challenging! What makes this a unique experience is that the rooms are point based and if you are unable to solve a puzzle in a set period of time, you simply move on to the next part of the experience and lose points on your overall score. A big plus for was all of the amazing special effects throughout the rooms. The sound effects are spot on and really help set the tone. This is a top notch experience!!!
