La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]Escaparium - LavalEscape roomIRLIn terms of sheer spectacle, cinematic immersion, and intensity, this room is out of this world (I actually think it has a slight edge on Magnifico, which is also wonderful, but somewhat weaker on the puzzle side). My sense of Escaparium, having done several rooms, is that puzzles take a bit of a back seat to production, but when the production is this amazing, who’s really complaining?
Titkos Metró [Secret Subway]E-Exit Escape Room BudapestEscape roomIRLI’m 64 rooms in at this point, and Secret Subway is one of the best I’ve ever done. Trust me, do it.
The Battle for BritainEscape PlanEscape roomIRLReally loved this room (along with The Adventure Begins). The rooms are built more around incredibly satisfying puzzles and gameplay than they are around FX and flashiness, and they make great use of practical, tactile elements (which also feel thematically fitting with the WWII settings). Our game master, Sarah, was also wonderful.
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLGreat room! Still feels super fresh despite its age.
The BirdMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLReally loved this room. At the time we did it, it had only opened a few weeks before, so a couple tech kinks were still being ironed out. But I think it’s the best room in MyssTic—charming and imaginative, with great flow and a nice mix of puzzle elements. A lot of detail and consideration went into this room, which is always nice.
Mad HatterTreasure Valley Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLMy favorite Alice in Wonderland-themed room. A lot of care and imagination went into this one. If you’re ever in Boise, do it!
The Ghost Of MentryvilleArcane Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWhat a great room! Firstly, its core design idea —what you’ll experience in terms of the relationship between one central object (here undisclosed!) and the rest of the room—unfolds in an inventive, constantly thrilling way. Secondly, one of the best incorporations of a live actor I’ve experienced. Thirdly, a small space that does an awful lot. Fourthly, a fun, macabre story. Do this room if you can!
Santa MuerteE-Exit Escape Room BudapestEscape roomIRLA really beautifully rendered, creative room that isn’t really like any other escape room I’ve done. I love the roll that painting and color play in the design and concept, as well.
The Asylum: PlaytimeLost GamesEscape roomIRLGreat and challenging room—layered puzzles, fun gamemaster interaction system, lots of detail and little surprises.
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLThis was a cool room, especially if you’re keening for some period nostalgia. I didn’t actually like it as much as Maze Rooms’ Avalanche, with which it has some similarities, but it definitely has its own fun twists and turns.
