    The Escape Ventures - Orlando

    • Escape room

    Easily one of my favorite rooms of all time. An incredibly memorable experience. The theme is dark and may be disturbing (missing children...), but they toed a good balance between scary and humorous. There is a jump scare, but it can be toned down upon request. I usually don't love jump scares, but this one is recommended to just go for it - as it's unique! No spoilers 🤐) The puzzles were fantastic; however, some puzzles break the immersion (for example, one puzzle relies on rubber insects. Are we supposed to believe these insects always maintain the exact number for the benefit of people unlocking chests... Or whether these were other kids leaving fake insects to help us? It wasn't explained).

    Brilliant, bros! A new top 5 for me, and easily the best I've played at this location. Unique, thematic, fun, immersive, light-hearted pure fun! Wide range of creative puzzles which vary in difficulty - quite a few creative takes and choices I'd never seen before. Great mix of cracking codes, locks and physical activity (but nothing physically demanding). Don't leave Orlando without trying this!

    Top notch! Perfect amount of tricky and spooky.

    Doldrick's Escape Room

    Difficult and unforgettable single-room experience with a ton of stuff to do! My favorite room at Doldrick's (having done all but the Graveyard game). Great mix between physical gadgetry (wires, locks, Christmas tree ornaments, postcards, candy canes, milk, cookies, candy canes and air pumps) and tech-y buttons and sensors. The use of traditional "Christmas-y" decorations in unfamiliar ways was unforgettable. Highly recommend (... but bring your A-game!)

    Fun and creative with great components, a big theme shift and a huge ramp-up in difficulty, # of locks and papers to manage! (... Maybe too many papers?!) Absolutely worth trying...and don't forget unlimited hints! Not for beginners.

    Lots of fun tech to love, but it's a tough game and (agreeing with another reviewer) one puzzle's solution is incorrect (not a spoiler: "the weapon scroll image"). The negative of this room is it felt like a frantic rush to check off a long laundry list of items, and some enjoyment and plot was lost amidst the chaotic scurrying of our 5-member team. It was a lot to keep track of without a writing device to help. The final puzzle was a let down (basically a "find what's different here video puzzle), after a string of really good ones.

    This room was fantastic. Great vibes and set pieces, very funny/campy gags and voice acting - right up my alley! The final puzzle and ending was very satisfying. This was less chaotic and more straightforward than the Wizard room and a little easier, but not a beginner room. It's mostly linear, which can be a positive or negative depending on your style- I like both kinds to mix it up. (I preferred this room over Wizard's Tower - this was just more fun, but Wizard's had more of a wow factor due to its tech. I loved both and will be back for more!)

    Cute, fun game, perfect for a small kids' party... but too short at full price for anyone but newbies or kids. They should offer a discounted 30-minute price. There were a few technical issues when we played back in March 2024, but it had just opened - hope/assume they fixed those!

    An escape room in a aunt's clothing: Intense and scary. Some surprisingly good puzzles considering this seems more like a haunt from the outside (and in Turkey it seem ALL escape rooms are haunts...) We did the no jumpscares version, and it was still scary. Definitely pay the extra 3 dollars for the English version - the attendant says there's no Turkish required in the game (only for the video), but that was NOT entirely true. There were voice clues and instructions over the loudspeaker that I missed - fortunately I went with a friend! I'm sadly not sure whether we got clues or not because of the language confusion... And it was my Turkish friend's first escape room so he didn't know exactly what to convey. My bad.

    This was my first ever escape room. I didn't know what I was in for and couldn't tell how good the puzzles were compared to what I've played since then, but what I can say: this was a rare gem where the story surpassed "fun" and left a lasting, meaningful impact. From escaping an Egyptian tomb, through parting the Red Sea and to final light-fulled corridor of clouds and rainbows and a puzzle involving loving spiritual words ("Peace", "Freedom", "God loves you"...), this game was transcendant. Sorry to see it has closed. I will remember it!
