Return of the PharaohsParagon Escape GamesEscape roomIRLI enjoyed the atmosphere of the room but honestly there wasn’t very much use for my brain. It was a lot of just looking around. I much prefer thinking versus the hide and seek type puzzles.
Diamond QuestParanoia Quest - TempeEscape roomIRLI’m very conflicted with this review. Yes the lobby is amazing and it has a great story. I’m frustrated with the room because it was WAY too hot and I got a migraine because of it. Personally I hate when I can’t do anything because each puzzle leads to the next and you can’t move forward. I also hate when they hide things in dark places and don’t give you enough light. There were 5 of us and several times that we couldn’t do anything because the pieces were locked up or in the dark. I also think we should’ve been given something to write on and we weren’t. The phone system for clues is cute but honestly annoying because it wasn’t loud enough to be heard with all the background noises.
Escape From AlcatrazNorth Valley Escape RoomEscape roomIRLGreat time with 6 of us. We got caught up at the beginning but it kept us all busy and going. Very immersive and fun.
Museum Of History: HeistThe Greatest EscapeEscape roomIRLThere was 6 of us and in my opinion that was a bit much. I would’ve enjoyed it with 4 because I would’ve been able to participate more. We were surprised at the ending because we thought there would be more at the end. It was fun to play and I look forward to playing the other room.
Jewel HeistRed Button EscapeEscape roomIRLGreat room and super immersive. There was 3 of us and honestly you need 4 or even more to help with the sheer number of things to do. We were moving the whole time and solving problems the whole time. The Peruvian food 2 doors down is amazing!!!!
The Ultimate Candy Factory ChallengeEscape WestgateEscape roomIRLRoom decorations were very colorful but there was no rhyme or reason for which locks went to which drawer and for me that is irritating. Some were stupid simple and you just had to see a code and some were very complex using multiple things in multiple places.
The Painter's CollectionEludesions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLIt did have a good spooky vibe and some interesting puzzles and mechanics. We were a bit frustrated by the linear gameplay, and that the four of us couldn’t really break up to solve different things at the same time. We also got frustrated with how abstract some things were and then how stupid simple other things were.
The StudyThink Escape Games - Fort LauderdaleEscape roomIRLVisiting Florida for vacation and found this through Morty. It was a good game. Parts were very difficult for older family due to it being too dark. They have some unique gameplay and unexpected twists. A few parts weren’t fully working and it detracted from the game.
Mad Hatter's Tea PartyEludesions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLOne room was a warm but they brought in a fan and water. They were very kind and helpful and apologetic. The room was great for set up and theme. The puzzles weren’t too difficult but maybe ranked hard because of the number of puzzles.
Unhaunt the MansionAxescape RoomEscape roomIRLI think this is my favorite room of the location. Some difficulty needed because of crawling on the floor and very steep stairs but the 4 of us enjoyed ourselves and did pretty well with all the puzzles and game play.
