Operation Arctic Storm: The Final MeltdownThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLMy new favorite game here, and a must-do in Central Florida. The atmosphere is unbeatable and the theme is utilized extremely well. The puzzles aren’t too difficult so families should have a great time. The actor is a welcome addition that adds to the experience nicely. Another home run from the Ventures team, not to be missed
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - OrlandoEscape roomIRLAlways in my top list of games- a standard Escape Game room, but it’s so much fun that it really elevates the experience. The scenic really makes the room, and the puzzles, while not the most inventive, fit into the narrative well or use pieces of the theme to where I don’t mind it.
Operation Treehouse: Capture the FlagThe Escape Ventures - Winter Garden [prev. Escape Goat]Escape roomIRLThis is my personal favorite game at Escape Goat, which is saying a lot. The puzzles were very fun and all flowed well into each other. The details and set design were also amazing, really selling the idea of being in a kids’ hideout. You will never have a bad time at this place
Murder In LondonMystique Escape RoomEscape roomIRLMystique is a very solid company, and this is their best room. Amazing scenic, fun puzzles and an enjoyable story. The staff is nice and I’ve never heard of someone not appreciating it as a recommendation
DreamEscape Artists OrlandoEscape roomIRLEscape Artists is a really solid company, and this is one of if not my favorite room. Lots of varied things to do, set design was not the highest caliber but was very fun, and there is a specific physical element that my team loved to the point of replaying several times.
Strange MagicMind MastersEscape roomIRLOne of the most surprising rooms I’ve played! The outside is fairly nondescript which really hides how amazing the room is going to be. The scenic was a little sparse but they more than made up for it with the technical elements and props on display. I cannot wait to see what else they have in store.
The BasementIntense Escape - BradentonEscape roomIRLNot the scariest game I’ve ever played, but the perceived threat definitely does make your heart race a bit. The late game interactions with your GM are also something to laud- not a top tier game but overall an enjoyable experience if you’re into it’s type of gameplay
Horror CircusGame Over Escape Rooms - BrandonEscape roomIRLVery large footprint, Fun puzzles on display with solid props and detail. The scenic was good, and had some genuinely good scares in place, but nothing too spooky. If you’ve played a Game Over game, then you know what to expect
Possession At Haddon HeightsThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLMy favorite game from the Bureau so far. I enjoy their style of games and how they differ from other locations. The atmosphere was fun and sold “spooky school” well. The Bureau is always lockless and prides itself on tech, and it shows here with some cool scares and interesting mechanic to enhance the environment- when it works, of course, which it doesn’t always. My friend never had a specific thing work, but still enjoyed the game.
Lost City Of AtlantisGame Over Escape Rooms - East TampaEscape roomIRLMy group’s favorite game at this location. Fun theme, good scenic with some neat effects. You know what you’re getting with Game Over, nothing more, nothing less
