The DungeonPuzzleWorksEscape roomIRLAwesome room; nary a combo lock in sight but lots of puzzles and mechanisms we hadn't seen before. One of the top rooms we've done and a great vibe and aesthetic.
SOSEscape Boats - DublinEscape roomIRLFairly linear, non tech, and easy puzzles for the most part... But with the obvious extremely unique boat elements added in. Setting and feeling of authenticity is a huge draw for this one.
The Arcane LibraryThe Lodge of Lazarus CroweEscape roomIRLSolid, high tech room. Linear and somewhat easier puzzles, but still engaging and high production value for a small group. It's on the shorter side and felt like it could use a second act. But the broader venue is amazing and fun and you kind of can't go wrong there!
Budapest ExpressEscapology - Traverse CityEscape roomIRLSolid, well built room. Good theme, decor, and puzzles. Somewhat wonky final pieces, but overall a B. Nothing standout, but a great way to spend an afternoon in the area
Shipwreck IslandAbandoned Acres Escape Adventures Escape roomIRLBest escape room in West Michigan. Great theming, good and challenging puzzles with a nice flow with a variety of mechanisms and different puzzles; even the padlock ones were fun and interesting
Infirmary: Surgical CrisisThe Great Escape Room - Grand RapidsEscape roomIRLVery solid room with some fun parallel puzzles and a (briefly) split start. Nothing too hard or novel, but fun way to spend an hour; would be an impressive and potentially challenging first room. Escaped as a 2 person team.
Poker Night At The President's BunkerThe Great Escape Room - Grand RapidsEscape roomIRLFine room, mostly traditional locks with a good puzzle or two, but a few of them are a bit unintuitive or just too disconnected in a way that ruins the flow.
