Prison BreakThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLA lil tough for 2 players but super fun. I love communication puzzles so this was very enjoyable. A few things towards the end need some tuning up but still amazing nonetheless!
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - GatlinburgEscape roomIRLSuper fun game with straightforward and clever puzzles. Linear game but the theme and the surprises keep the momentum and fun going. The finale was also well done and I appreciate that TEG has made some more climactic finales as of late. Staff, as usual with TEG, were amazing and made me feel so welcome. There’s a reason this place is successful.
Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - MinneapolisEscape roomIRLI LOVED this room! It contained some of my favorite puzzles I have ever done! I think the overall goal of the room was a little simple but how you got everything completed was so fun. The last puzzle and ending sent this room so into my top 5 I had a lot of fun and laughed hard towards the end. Possibly a new favorite from TEG
Super Bomb SquadDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLLoved this room as much as the other ones I’ve played at Doldrick’s. Simple setup but a very amazing execution. If I had to complain about anything the volume was a little low in the room and I did consistently hear the room next door. But this never bogged down the experience. Might be my favourite from here!
Gold RushThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThe room started out so fun then got bogged down at the halfway point with two puzzles that actually quite infuriated me. It took so much time away from us that as we progressed to the end we were overwhelmed with how much was left to do. Some decisions made it annoying but overall the theme and the quality is all there. Also can never complain about the game guides have not had a bad one at TEG yet!
Nightmare HotelGame Over Escape Rooms - OrlandoEscape roomIRLReally wanted to love this one as this was our first time here. I think it may have suffered from its mall location atmosphere. The room was fine with some clever puzzles and moments but our GM truly made the experience so upsetting. We had plenty of time left but we were overhinted unwillingly consistently throughout the room. There was a few puzzles that were just big time wasters which took the majority of the time, and if it was an actual puzzle they only gave us about 1 minute to figure it out before announcing over speaker (sounding annoyed too) the answer. Brought a decent room down to a quite bad time so I’m in no rush to return, sadly.
The HeistThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLAlthough a bland theme the room was quite fun! This room (and TEG as a whole) has a lot of a “puzzle” type that I don’t particularly enjoy but it might just be a skill issue of mine and why I don’t like it. The finale was a lil weak but I did enjoy the surprises. As always, the team at TEG is amazing our GM Becca was great!
