La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]

La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]

Escaparium Laval

The experience ramps up quickly and doesn't let go until the very end. Such a fun experience to go through. It was a roller coaster of an experience that keeps on a tense lease for the entire experience. Completely immersive and a story that builds into an explosive finale. I will be thinking of this for years to come.

This room executes everything I love in an escape room to the most excellent degree. The sound design is outstanding using new technology that increases the immersive elements that I have never seen used outside of theater. The production and set keeps you on your toes and it's surprising where the nightmare will lead. The actor is a chaos figure that is at times helpful, frightening, and comical. The pacing keeps every player engaged. There are a lot of puzzles to solve. The room experience starts with a haunting whisper and ends with freeing scream; and we loved every second in between. Truly, after thinking about it for a week, out of all the escape rooms I've played in the US, this might be my favorite one in the country.

A creepy beginning that just gets creepier as the experience continues. One of my favorite game mechanics I have seen in a game and scratches a personal scare button. Delightfully paced to reveal a journey to save yourselves!

Let's rock the boat! A great immersive experience that will make you feel like you are battling a storm in the middle of the sea. Great interactive moments to help you realize your pirate fantasies. Fun antagonists whether the denizens of the ship, island, or nature itself!

What an incredible use of space. Art direction to make sure every corner of the space makes sense and themed to the room. A tightrope of an experience that will keep its players on its toes until the very end. Scare abound but so are the puzzles!

Exodus Escape Room

Ink and Ashes does what great escape rooms do, direct the audience through clever lighting, sound cues, and atmospheric use of storytelling. It keeps the players at a great pace to gather us for the theatrical bits and open it up when doing puzzles. The story is straightforward but the game makes the fun in the process. Make sure to pay attention to the story so you can let the room shower you in your success!

One of my absolute favorite experiences ever and not just escape rooms. The story sucks in like a warm dangerous embrace. The actor was central to our experience and made the entire storytelling aspect on the edge of our seats. Take your time with this escape room. It's not meant to be rushed. Let the story take over and a profound theatrical experience will progress to a thrilling end.

A delightfully puzzle filled escape room that is fantastiscally produced. The art direction of this room is very consistent with the theme and it is so charming. Lots and lots of fun puzzles that come one after another. A fun surprise that comes half way through the experience.

Tipsy Tailor has everything I look for in a good escape room. Fun surprises, theme specific puzzles, great efficient use of space and cascading reveals to brought a smile to my face. I wanted more and more. It's always a great thing when a room can leave you smiling.

An incredibly immersive ride on the New York metro system that leads you to unexpected places. Some super fun actor interactions that will delight the crazy in you. Fun puzzles and great scenic make you feel like you are in the bowels of the Big Apple.
