La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLIt’s astounding how much thought was put into this room. Every detail is filled with love - from the story, to the set, to the acting, to the puzzles, and even the little credits video at the end (lovely touch, by the way), you can feel how much this team cares. The #4 ranking on Terpeca is well deserved.
The StorykeeperLocurioEscape roomIRLI love how the hints were integrated into the story of the room. Whimsical, immersive and tricky at times, this was a very complete experience.
Project MinotaurQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLWithout a doubt, the best room I’ve ever done. It’s 50% escape room, 50% immersive theatre. While there are some solid puzzles, the focus is more on the experience. It was terrifying, exhilarating and unforgettable. I was seriously buzzing for hours after we left.
Disappearance: Last LocationWill To Escape - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis creepy, immersive room was a whole lot of fun. I loved how the stakes of the story escalated throughout the course of the game. The staff was particularly great and chatted with us for awhile about the creation of the room. If you're into dark themes, hit this one up, for sure.
Something's Out There!Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLThis room has a fantastic and dark atmosphere that is properly spooky. There were a couple of jump scares that made my heart skip a beat! Puzzles were linear with no red herrings, and satisfying to complete. Definitely recommend!
The UnknownEscape Games CanadaEscape roomIRLThis is the first good room I ever did so it holds a special place in my heart. It’s also legitimately scary, in large part because of the excellent live actor. A ton of fun, I hope it comes back!
Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)The Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLUnfortunately, I didn’t have a good experience with this room due to a miscommunication with the staff. So, I left with a bad taste in my mouth… that said, I still recognize that it is a quality room. Excellent theme and set design and also quite challenging. There were a couple of puzzles that felt tedious but, all in all, still solid.
King Of The BootleggersSecret City Adventures - Casa LomaEscape roomIRLWhen it comes to rooms with strangers, the people you’re with can really make or break the experience. Unfortunately, we had a particularly loud and domineering participant who made the room less enjoyable than it could have been. On the plus side, the actors were excellent and the set design was beautiful and detailed. But this infuriating person has put me off mixed group rooms, in general.
The Curse Of Madame Zita’s CuriositiesFind & SeekEscape roomIRLEscape rooms are already expensive as is, so it’s frustrating when a company only gives 45 minutes. Cannot recommend for this reason alone.
Pequeña Gran Aventura [Little Great Adventure]Enigma Rooms - Roma IIEscape roomIRLDecent immersion and a nice mix of puzzles but some parts were way too dark. It’s frustrating when lack of light is the main obstacle for solving a puzzle. It'd be a lot better if the room were 10% brighter.
