Curse of the Hidden Temple
Expedition Escape
Escape room
IRL
This was the second room we’ve done with Expedition Escape, and once again, we were blown away! Hidden Temple stands out as the most immersive escape room we’ve experienced, especially in the Philadelphia/PA area. What sets this room apart is its atmosphere. There are long stretches where it is quite dark, which adds an exciting, slightly spooky vibe without turning it into a horror experience as you can still see everything that you need to to complete the puzzles. The lack of a visible timer or countdown enhances the immersion, making you feel like you’re truly part of an adventure. That said, it’s still a regular escape room, but the clever design and use of technology make it feel like so much more. For seasoned escape room enthusiasts, I would say that Hidden Temple is on the easier side. The puzzles are logical and linear, which keeps the experience smooth, but the challenge level is relatively low compared to other rooms we’ve tried, like Quest for the Throne (another great room by this company, and definitely more difficult). That said, the puzzle style in Hidden Temple is quite unique—there are no traditional lock-and-key puzzles, which we really appreciated. Overall, Hidden Temple wins for immersion and creativity. If you’re new to escape rooms, this is the perfect room to wow you with its atmosphere and design. Even if you’re more experienced, the uniqueness and seamless technology make it worth a visit. Highly recommend, especially if you’re ready for an adventure that feels straight out of a movie!

Escape Room 66 - Los Angeles

This room was such a fun experience! Our escape master, Tuesday, who also owns this location, was incredibly sweet and fantastic to work with. As others have mentioned, most of the puzzles are first-gen ‘lock and key’ style, but the attention to detail and variety of puzzles make it a great experience. Highly recommend!

We had a great time in this escape room! The puzzles were diverse and engaging, incorporating fun technology that added an extra layer of excitement—it’s not just a typical lock-and-key room. The design was well thought out—well-lit, with a charming storyline that enhanced the experience. The gameplay was fairly straightforward and linear, which might make it less challenging for seasoned escape artists. We finished in under 40 minutes without any hints, so it’s likely best suited for newer or intermediate players. That said, it was still a positive experience overall, and we’d definitely recommend it!
2084
Olde City Escape Games
Escape room
IRL
2084 is a standout escape room. The puzzles were incredibly unique—unlike anything we’ve seen in other escape rooms. It had a great mix of tech-based, physical, and logic puzzles, making for an exciting and dynamic experience. Teamwork is absolutely necessary, and I’d recommend wearing comfortable clothes since some of the physical elements require a bit of movement. Overall, a must-try for escape room fans!

Loved this room! There is a great variety of different puzzles and unique atmosphere. One of my favorites!
Legend of the Pines
Solve It Sherlock
Escape room
IRL
I’m a pretty seasoned escape room player, and unfortunately, my experience at Legend of the Pines was disappointing. We did not escape, and several aspects of the room made the experience frustrating. One major issue was the game master—it was clear they weren’t paying close attention to our game. We repeatedly received hints for things we had already solved rather than the information we actually needed, which wasted valuable time and added to our frustration. Beyond that, the room itself had several problems. The standard puzzles didn’t feel intuitive, and on top of that, there were multiple puzzles that required a physical component to solve. While I personally don’t enjoy these types of challenges, I can usually work through them. However, in this game, they were so finicky and frustrating that we spent over 20 minutes struggling—not because we didn’t understand the puzzle, but because of the execution. Also, they explicitly stated at the beginning that everything in the room was single-use—but that is not true in this room. There was an element that had to be reused, which threw us off. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this escape room, and I don’t plan on returning to Solve It Sherlock. There are much better options out there in New Jersey for escape room enthusiasts.
Special Ops: Mysterious Market
The Escape Game - Los Angeles
Escape room
IRL
This was a great room! I really enjoyed the high-tech elements of many of the puzzles, and the combination of tech and traditional puzzles made for a well-rounded experience. This is definitely one of my favorite Escape Game rooms that I’ve done.
The Midnighters
Olde City Escape Games
Escape room
IRL
This was our second escape room at Olde City Escape, and while we enjoyed 2084 more, this room was still a solid experience. The biggest downside for me was the number of red herrings—some of which felt like remnants from a previous version of the room. They threw us off multiple times and made certain moments more frustrating than fun. A couple of puzzles felt less intuitive than other escape rooms I have done, but that said, there were a lot very unique and creative elements that made the experience enjoyable overall. We had a positive experience, and it’s definitely still worth a play!
Tombstone
Maze Rooms - West LA
Escape room
IRL
Overall, this was a good room with some unique elements and special effects. However, a couple of puzzles were more challenging than they should have been due to the design. Without giving too much away, we figured out the solutions quickly, but the mechanics were tricky, which became frustrating after it happened a few times. We were a group of 2, and you do need at least 3 people for one of the puzzles. I’d probably recommend a group of 4 due to the non-linear layout.
Revolution Spies - Patriotism!
Escape Room Mystery - King Of Prussia
Escape room
IRL
This was a fun room, though it wasn’t as high-tech as some other places (such as at The Escape Game). The staff was very nice, and they gave us an extra 5 minutes since we were so close at the end, which allowed us to escape. It was my partner’s first escape room, and I felt it was a good introduction—challenging enough to keep things interesting but still doable with just the two of us.
