#1 room in the world and a ton of glowing reviews already. What else can I say? It's hard to describe this experience. I want to bring all my friends and just sit back and watch them experience the magic (and see it again). This is the only escape room that I got choked up with tears at the ending. The actors were all incredible and then you remember they're doing improv in their SECOND language since we came for the English version and it's really stunning. Where else can I say I immediately went to their YouTube page to listen to the music from an escape room, too? If you like escape rooms: get in a car, a plane, a boat, whatever you need to, and come visit. It's worth it.

As with other Escaparium rooms, there is a lot of love and care put into this room and more than one "wow" moment. The sets are gorgeous. The acting and plot is fun. That said, we had a ton of issues with this room, from certain props / tools not working correctly, to puzzles being confusing, to major audio issues in the last room with hearing the game master. After experiencing their other incredible rooms, it was a bit of a disappointment. Still absolutely worth it to play, but my least favorite of their "big four" TERPECA rooms.

This is what I've wanted every other pirate escape room to be. The GM / hint system is incredible. The puzzles are fun. The set isn't as mind-blowing as some of their other offerings, but you can bet this would be the crown jewel room in 95% of escape rooms out there. I really enjoyed this one. The only downsides are a weird step in the boat which I nearly tripped over multiple times, and the audio in the intro is VERY hard to hear.

I've done over 60 rooms and this one is in my top 10. I don't typically enjoy "scary" rooms as I don't love jump scares, but they gladly modified the room for my tastes (gave all the jump scares to my husband, and not to me). The live actor and the tension they created was phenomenal. Besides that, the puzzles were super fun and well constructed, and the set decorations and theme was on-point. TEV does a great job of making the experience start BEFORE the room and this one was no exception. Play this one!

This room is very highly praised, so I had VERY high expectations going into it. And it is a great room! But I actually enjoyed one of their other rooms more, and I wouldn't call this room in my top 10 all-time. That being said, it is absolutely worth a stop if you're in the area. The room is incredibly unique in regards to its play style, and it was a lovely experience with an amazing hint system. We got a behind-the-scenes tour as enthusiasts which was really special, too.

I can safely say this is the only escape room where I ended up purchasing a plush toy of one of the characters within. It was that cute, and the room left a huge impression on me. The first room - adorable. The transition - spectacular. The second room - probably the weakest part of the whole thing, but still very enjoyable. Both our GM and our live actor were awesome. One of my favorite rooms I have ever done. This was an amazing room #100 for me!

This is their stand-out room and it was not a disappointment. I'll agree with others that the pirate theme is well-worn, but this one was very nicely done. I duo almost every escape room with my husband, and it's rare that I wish for more people in the room - but here, I'd like 4. We did escape but it would have been easier with more people for sure. Having only 2 when you not only start out separate, but play a decently large chunk of the game in different rooms, was certainly unique!
