La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLOkay literally what are you talking about with this game 🤯🤯 was this five stages? Six? Every time something else was revealed we were like, there's MORE?! This theme slash level of creep (not scare) is not my usual fare but no enthusiast should miss this room. As with others at this business, the build quality is off the charts, but each in a totally different way. The scale of this one is just beyond and will make you feel like, wow someone made ALL THIS just so I could enjoy it for 90 minutes?! Just outstanding, and the puzzles particularly in the first half really add to the immersive journey, rather than feeling like things you solve inside the space.
Armoire à Vendre [Wardrobe for Sale]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLHow do I convince everyone to play this without giving away a single thing?? 🙉🤯🤯 There are things that happen in here that not only have I not seen anywhere else, I never expected to see, not sure I thought were even possible. That someone made this with their own two hands without a department of Imagineers has me literally taken aback. The puzzles are fun though the interaction and set are more the star of the show... This was like a cross between a personalized playground and being in a movie for 2h. Ten out of five stars 🤩
Projet R.E.S.E.T. [Project R.E.S.E.T.]Immersia Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis room is really so cool. The sense of unreality and physical displacement are totally unique- I heard so many people wondering aloud "how did they do that-?" about elements of the game. Some unique mechanics I hadn't seen before, and some production values that clearly received a lot of investment; in general an experience that feels very polished, futuristic, satisfying. Best game here!
The Sins of Doctor FaustusCaptivating WorldsEscape roomIRLThis is such a cool and unique experience, every enthusiast within a radius of Columbus should get this on their scorecard. In shock that the owner accomplished this level of build quality, programming and puzzle by himself! Imagineer quality. The puzzles are unique and challenging, maybe approaching the too-tough side for our duo... Some unique elements I was very amused by. Awesome experience.
Le Grand Immersia Hotel [The Grand Immersia Hotel]Immersia Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis is a fun game with some outstanding elements. The spaces are fun to be in and the GM interaction really adds a lot to the experience. It felt a little light on puzzles, definitely room to add more to do in here or even to set difficulty levels.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - ColumbusEscape roomIRLThis is so fun I recommend it to everyone. I was able to solo it when I was there which was 😅😅 but I got it done and had a really good time. Some of the puzzles might be too straightforward for advanced players but the experience is very fun, and with some cool things still to discover.
The Seventh RoomDare 2 EscapeEscape roomIRLThere were so many cool and interesting elements to this room, but also some rookie-level mistakes. Game pieces from a few puzzles were so worn/worn off/tiny that they were unusable; irrelevant clues given showed our GM wasn't tracking our progress. At more than one point we had to stick our heads out into the hallway to call for help; at another GM had to bring us replacement pieces for something that just didn't work. We were really disappointed bc it's clear what this room could be, but it really needs some TLC and GM attention is crucial.
Escape IT - The SewersEscape ITEscape roomIRLThis isn't my style of escape room, with horror and live actors and public bookings, but it was really fun. The sets are really great and there's just enough game play to keep you in each spot for a little while. Actors are absolutely great. Had a lot of fun running and screaming lol
La Forêt De Falderon [Falderon Forest]Sauve Qui Peut - Saint-JeanEscape roomIRLThey say this room is AI-controlled, but it felt totally different than what I imagined that might mean. If anything it felt more personalized and interactive, not less. A really warm and funny game that's just fun to be inside of, and contemplating the tech/wiring/programming that must be involved behind the scenes is 🤯🤯🙉. Definitely heed the 4 person max to ensure you can see everything on the adventure.
Ghost StoriesBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room relies heavily on an attentive gamemaster and a lot of technology, neither of which were fully functioning when we played, unfortunately. There are some good surprises and fun moments, but the guided dynamic means you need your game master's full attention for over an hour, and without it there are long pauses and wrong nudges given- apparently it's also hard for them to hear you in the room-? For me, there's also no excuse for broken technology; one or two things I'm likely to accept as a blip, but there were so many things not triggering or showing up late that we started factoring it in to the flow of the room. Cool concept and build, hopefully they get the issues sorted out.
