The Forest of FablesCU Adventures in Time and SpaceEscape roomIRLThis room was great, as is expected at Adventures in Time and Space. Every one of their rooms is excellent and has continued to set the bar higher and higher. This room is no exception. The incorporation of the actor in the room was well done without being overbearing. The interactability was fun and it felt like we had agency in how it played out. The theme of the room fit the storyline perfectly. It was very detailed and it was not always clear where the next path was going to lead us. 10/10. If you haven’t done a room here - you are missing out.
Mafia HeistMind Trap Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLAll of the rooms at Mindtrap are amazing. The scale of this room is particularly impressive. I’ve never done an escape room with as many different areas as this one. The puzzles were fun and not too challenging. The theming was well done and detailed. Highly recommended.
Calling All VillainsCU Adventures in Time and SpaceEscape roomIRLThis was our first time at CU Adventures and it was a great experience. Calling All Villains was a very fun and challenging room. The puzzles were just challenging enough without being a time sink and the decor was very thematic. The pace of the room flowed very well and there were several mechanics used that I hadn’t seen elsewhere. Highly recommended.

Escape AnnabelleDeadlock EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room was amazing. It was not very difficult but was challenging enough. The room is built into an actual house and occupies the entire second story so it feels like you are actually exploring an old haunted house. The theming and atmosphere are top notch. It’s not overly scary but definitely has a spooky atmosphere.

Wizard AcademyEscape 60 PeoriaEscape roomIRLThis room was fun but parts of it do seem to come from a kit as we had seen identical props/puzzles at a different location we had previously done. Still a good overall experience.

There were not any padlocks or combinations, the puzzles were all very dynamic. There were a few points where it wasn’t clear what was needing to be done but overall it did flow well.
