Prison BreakThe Escape Game - King of PrussiaEscape roomIRLA great mix of puzzles, physical challenges and unconventional twists. Looks and feels “big budget” at every stage. They charge a premium price, but you get a premium experience.
Gold RushThe Escape Game - King of PrussiaEscape roomIRLOur clue master was the right amount of hands-on throughout the hour. The overall production value of this room was top notch.
The Galactic War: The Invasion Of The XarnaiEncrypted Escape - West ReadingEscape roomIRLThis is a room for 3 or 4 players…not 2, nor 5. Abide by that, and you’re in for an outstanding experience. A truly unique game.
The Pirate's ChamberCaptured LV Escape Room - BethlehemEscape roomIRLThis is probably ideal for someone’s first venture into the world of escape rooms. Anyone else will probably zip right on through and leave thinking “is that it?” It’s fun while it lasts, but any more than 3 players will be too many brains for this lightweight challenge.
Neon Tokyo: Resistance PathEscape.exeEscape roomIRLA fascinating idea, but the execution is underwhelming. Only the “Resistance” storyline was available for play, and it does still seem to be in Beta at this stage. No announced date for the room’s opposing narrative to debut. Perhaps in its final form, with everything operational, it will stick the landing. As is, it’s a cool room at first sight, but has some tedious gameplay. It has such potential!
Otherworld Philadelphia [Immersive Art]OtherworldEscape roomOther This is NOT an escape room. It’s a massive art installation with a narrative through line, and does contain a puzzle. Once you enter, you have unlimited time to explore the dozens of rooms. It’s clear many of the visitors have no idea there is a puzzle element to the installation. It can be enjoyed without spending a single moment following the storyline or searching for the the 4 clues you need.
It's Alive!Amazing Escape Room - Trappe [prev. Escape Trappe]Escape roomIRLThis was sold out for weeks, so I didn’t get in until 2 months after it opened, but it was worth the wait! My favorite of theirs.
File: XAmazing Escape Room - Trappe [prev. Escape Trappe]Escape roomIRLA room filled with cool and quirky details. One thing flowed perfectly to the next. Best for small groups.
The OutbreakAmazing Escape Room - Trappe [prev. Escape Trappe]Escape roomIRLA wide variety of puzzles throughout the game. Perfect size for a quartet, probably not ideal for more than 7 - 8 players.
The IllusionistAmazing Escape Room - King of PrussiaEscape roomIRLThe best summary of my experience: it’s fine. Was I blown away? Nope. Was I ripped off? Can’t say that I was. Would I spend money here again? Highly unlikely.
