Stalked by a KillerBold Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was my very first escape room adventure - and what an experience it was! Quite scary with great sets and fun, challenging puzzles that were relevant to the narrative. We did it as just 2 novice escape room players and didn't come anywhere close to escaping. Definitely would be better for a group of 4+. The only drawback may have been the walkie talkie clue system which was a bit clunky to use. Sad to hear Bold Escape Rooms has closed!
Houdini's Last EscapeEscape Room PittsburghEscape roomIRLLoved Houdini's Last Escape! Good for beginner and advanced puzzlers alike. Not impossibly hard but not easy either. Cool atmosphere and theming. Love the authentic, handcrafted feel of this place. I also dug that our game master stayed in theme when giving clues. She was a delight. Some slight nitpicks - a little too many combo locks + the initial room is sparse / feels a bit out of place + most of the puzzles weren't really integrated with the theme / story. However, the whole experience is capped off with a climactic (and in-theme!) final puzzle for a spectacular finish. Would recommend!
Classified!The Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLHad fun with Classified! At the time, this was only my second escape room experience. From reading other reviews, it looks like they have replaced this game with an updated version called Special Ops: Mysterious Market at most The Escape Game locations, however I still think this game is worth playing in Austin. Very clever, relevant puzzles and high quality set design. No crazy tech or WOW moments but still a polished and fun game. I would describe the difficulty as moderate. We escaped as a team of 4 with about 10 min remaining.
