The Skull WitchEnchambered Live Escape Room AdventureEscape roomIRLMy favorite room at Enchambered, having also played Containment and W Halls. This room is where the puzzles branched out more from traditional types, which made them exciting to solve. Their set design is absolutely immaculate and it’s frankly impossible to even recommend anything on that front. My two issues with the room is that there were too many times where it wasn’t completely obvious where a puzzle’s solution was meant to be input (also a major problem in Whispering Halls, while it wasn’t as bad within this room), and that I disliked the amount of writing included within the room. Many of the clues for the puzzles come with a paragraph of text, and while there was a story reason for their existence, it still felt somewhat immersion breaking to me. In spite of this, this room is incredible; I would rate it an 8.5 out of 10 and recommend it to any escape room enthusiast as well as those who want to see what escape rooms are truly capable of.
Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - The GalleriaEscape roomIRLMy first room with this company, and instantly I knew I would have a good time. Excellent prop design, with an exciting and engaging theme. The puzzles were clever and fun to solve, and blended in well with the theme of the room. Additionally, they mesh the hint system in with the theme of the room, making it less awkward to receive help. They avoid all the cardinal sins of escape room design (being unclear where an answer should go, walkie talkie hint delivery) and have some fun ideas to make sure you will have a good time. It’s clear the people designing the rooms have passion for the game, and it’s the type of place to make sure that any first timers will come back to try again. Keep up the amazing work. (Shout out to GM Marco)
The HeistThe Escape Game - The GalleriaEscape roomIRLProbably the weakest room at the Galleria; but given that it’s still better than most escape room experiences! I found it pretty difficult but maybe it was an off day! I recommend giving it a try!
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - The GalleriaEscape roomIRLA fun room with some great puzzles and great props! This was my final room at the Galleria and glad to see the quality held up all the way through! I can recommend every room there!
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - The GalleriaEscape roomIRLThanks Orion! Theme was great and puzzles were fun!
The DepthsThe Escape Game - The GalleriaEscape roomIRLMy second room at the escape game! It made me confident that the quality of their rooms is consistently great! They keep up the great set design, great puzzle design, and make sure that each room has something special to allow it to stand out. Fantastic work!
Capitol TreasureNeo Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLNEO is a blossoming escape company that is still working on their rooms. With this in mind, I have a lot of faith in their ability to create excellent rooms. Capitol’s set design is a solid middle ground, not appearing cheap but also not having anything incredible either. Due to the room being unfinished, the areas I had the biggest issue with appearance wise tended to be the areas they were actively working on improving, which eased my fears. Puzzle wise, this room is spectacular. It’s a true testament to fun puzzle solving and exciting solutions, and shows PERFECTLY how you can make puzzles more fun without the inclusion of 30 four digit locks. Not to mention, this is the first time I actually started having a good time during the GM’s speech. The gamemaster, Gabriel, was not only kind but funny, even during the opening speech. Please give this room a try, and I’ll be sure to return to this room in the future as I am absolutely thrilled to see the finals results. A 9/10 experience for me.
Haunted TrainNeo Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI LOVE THIS ROOM. play it. Play it now! The set design here is a step up from Capitol Treasure; beating out the majority of other rooms I have played but not entering that amazing tier either. What’s important here are the PUZZLES. I was laughing and yelling and having so much in this room; I am STILL thinking about a certain puzzle in here. Any areas of the room that I felt needed work turned out to be areas that were still a work in progress, and so I believe the finished version of this room will be a masterclass escape room. Additionally, the game master was especially kind, helpful, and funny! A solid 9/10 experience with 10/10 puzzle design.
