Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLMy favorite room in the Bay Area. Amazing pops and good storyline, the puzzles are very unique, I think the room perfectly combines puzzle depth with tech pops.
Operation GryaznayavodaIn Search Of An ExitEscape roomIRLA must-play room in Portland. The setup for this room is well designed and every puzzle can tie to the theme. In terms of the puzzles, there are some unique forms that really impressed us.
The Edison Escape RoomPalace GamesEscape roomIRLThe tech is amazing, I’d say it’s definitely one of the best mechanicals I’ve seen in a escape room experience.
Wanted: Dead or AliveNo Exit IlioupoliEscape roomIRLUtterly engaging experience, thoughtful puzzles and very unique props. This was the best room I played in 2024. (Huge credit to the NPC, he’s a genius)
RockstarCityscape GamesEscape roomIRLNo doubt this is one of the top rooms (there are 2-3 rooms in my mind) in the greater Seattle area. It has a unique story setting and the puzzles are well designed. Those thoughtful puzzles are what differentiate Rockstar from the other room I’ve played. For those puzzle lovers, you will find some very interesting and unique puzzles in this room. Gamemaster did an awesome job and we all had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend, must play :)
The TreehouseConfusion EscapesEscape roomIRLHighly recommend! This is absolutely one of the best decorated room I have ever played. Just beautiful, gorgeous. The puzzles are quite thoughtful as well and there are multiple kinds of puzzles so you gotta explore different ways of puzzle solving. GREAT ROOM, MUST TRY.
Siren's CoveEscape Hour Point RustonEscape roomIRLThoughtful room design & setting, a handful of puzzles, immersive hint system. I think Siren’s Cove is one of the best in Greater Seattle area. It also has a couple unique puzzles which amazed me. The only advice is that, although it has a lot of content but it’s not very spacious, so more than 6 could be a little crowded.
Lombino's CasinoIn Search Of An ExitEscape roomIRLWe had a wonderful experience from the very beginning. Very thoughtful design from the owner. The puzzles are fun and interesting, hint system is very unique as well. Definitely a room to play in Portland!
The Last JobConfusion EscapesEscape roomIRLI have played at least 7-8 heist or crime story escape but this one definitely stood out on its own. Very unique room design, great work by the owner to create such a experience for us.
The LadderHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLThe Ladder is not a traditional escape room game as it is designed to make you come back and replay it. The story was well-designed and the props were fun. Our group enjoyed the individual little games and spent most of our time grinding those out. BUT (yes, here we go), as an escape room fan, this is not what I’m looking for. I’d rather spend my money at an arcade to play those games. I honestly think it’s not worth the money because you compile many games into one experience (and some props did not working properly given it’s a relatively new room) . It’s a novel experience I’d say, but I’d prefer a more traditional escape room experience.
