Frost Base ZRabbit Hole Recreation ServicesEscape roomIRLA friend recommended this room to me as it is one of his favorites of all time… I wish I could agree after doing it :/ It was good, but maybe my expectations were too high. The set design is really great and high tech. But we found ourselves saying “wait what do we do now?” And “oh we figured out the puzzle but… idk how? Why was that right?” A few puzzles weren’t intuitive or they were random, and there was a lack of indication which combination went to which lock. At one point we asked for a hint and didn’t hear anything, waited for a few minutes and asked again and still nothing. The GM must’ve been working with another group or we were ahead of the curve on time? All that said, rabbit hole is still one of the best. I think most people would totally enjoy this room! (Paradox is still my favorite of theirs.)
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - San AntonioEscape roomIRLThis was a great room. The theme and set were done really well with unique, interactive puzzles. We had 15 minutes left and we were a group of 2. Great for a small group, I would recommend only 2-4 people.
Path of the GodsConundrum Escape Rooms - ArvadaEscape roomIRLI want to note that they updated this room ~6 months ago, they told us it made the room way better and harder. I would say some of the previous reviews don’t match the new update. We REALLY enjoyed this room. The puzzles were great and all fit the theme naturally. A great amount of tech for a theme that doesn’t usually get as much, and it was done really well. Figuring out where to start wasn’t obvious, so that added to the challenge.
The Doctor Is InEscape Island HHIEscape roomIRLThis room was well done. I agree with other reviews that it is best for small groups of less experienced players. There are definitely a few ways they could upgrade some of the puzzles to be better (like more intuitive and sensical) but keep the difficulty, but we enjoyed them nonetheless! A less important note - the overlay on our picture they sent us is incorrect. It says we ‘got out in 12:44’ but that’s how much time we had left. Not a big deal unless you really want to share or keep the pic, but also such an easy fix and kind of sloppy 🤷🏻♀️
The ReelPuzzle Effect - DenverEscape roomIRLWe liked it, but it wasn’t the best. Not overly challenging, great for a small group. Read the other parts of this review for more detail.
The PathPuzzle Effect - DenverEscape roomIRLThis was a nice room, would be very fun for beginners. The puzzles were unique and not standard lock types. The only thing I didn’t like was that they send you hints whether you want them or not.
Tomb Of The AncientsBible Treks Live Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis was one of the worst experiences of my life. GM made us start the game 30 minutes late and say a prayer before we could start. We were totally fine with this because we knew based on their name what we might expect but the prayer went on and on and on like I’ve never experienced. You have to have prior knowledge on Christianity to complete the room. Even when we went over time and wanted to be done, the GM kept forcing us to go on with his hints that were unhelpful until we completed it. We ended up missing another engagement afterwards and he literally blocked the door of the escape room so he could further explain the room to us after we were already in there for like 90 minutes. I ran out of there and ended up forgetting my purse. Contacted the GM and he said he didn’t want to wait 15 minutes for me to come back and get it so he would leave it OUTSIDE. We were way too nice about the situation…
