Molly's GameUntold Stories Experiences [prev. Down the Hatch]Escape roomIRLExcellent, excellent escape room. The set is phenomenal, the story is interesting, the puzzles are challenging and novel without being frustrating. You probably already know this but you should visit this room.
The AlchemistSherlockedEscape roomIRLTop notch room. Definitely worth playing. The set design is extremely impressive. The puzzles were novel though not super hard so I think you're coming more for the wow factor of the set. That said, you should come for the wow factor of the set.
Curse of the Hidden TemplePuzzleConnect Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally nice room. We sped through it but the scenery was great and the puzzles were varied and satisfying.
Invasion60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLThis is a good room that’s probably worth doing if you’re in the area (but it’s not so good that I’d travel for it). The set is immersive and the puzzles were pretty good. They said this is the hardest room but we found the puzzles more straightforward than the pirate room. That said, I’ve been to plenty of other rooms where the story, puzzles, and set came together better. One thing that’s kind of obnoxious about this company is that they upsell you on getting unlimited hints (versus the built-in 6). We ended up only needing 4 but paid the extra just in case. It feels nickel-and-dimey to charge $15 for more hints.
Pirates Curse60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLWent into this with reasonably high expectations based on the reviews but I’d say it was just okay. The set is good and the puzzles are fairly novel but there were a bunch of somewhat random leaps of logic and we didn’t think it fit together all that well. They have bonus puzzles, which is kind of a nice mechanism to give you more to do if you finish the room early. Unfortunately it also has the effect of leaving you slightly disappointed even if you do escape.

Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLExcellent scenery and novel puzzles but a couple of the puzzles felt more unintuitive than pleasantly challenging. In any case, definitely worth a visit (along with their other room)
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLVery nice scenery. We did it with 3, which bumps up the difficulty (in a good way) a bit just because there are quite a lot of puzzles to do.
The Candy ShoppePuzzleConnect Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLPretty easy room but nice scenery and unique puzzles
The ObservatoryThe Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLQuite a nice room. Lots of puzzles with unique mechanisms and they made good use of the physical space. There were some puzzles that felt a little frustratingly arbitrary but overall I’d recommend a visit.
