The Asylum: PlaytimeLost GamesEscape roomIRLReally immersive room, if you are into spooky rooms but don’t want anything too over-the-top, this room is a good fit. The flow of the room could be improved, but besides that the room was solid. There were also some unique elements that we hadn’t seen before.
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLWe had so much fun at this room! Most of the puzzles were fairly straightforward, and at the start of the game the group is split up into two cells, which is always a fun test of communication skills. Overall gameplay had a lot of fun elements, and the set design was interesting.
P.T. Railways: Rebel RunPuzzle Theory - South WindsorEscape roomIRLWith having done many escape rooms before, I would surely say that this room stands out. My group and I ended up doing this room along with Warehouse 13, both exceeding our expectations. This room was large, and the creative atmosphere tied the experience together. Many of the puzzles were unique, with many of them being tactile. We had a great time!
The ScoreEscapismEscape roomIRLOne of the most unique rooms we’ve done to this day! It’s not your typical escape room; rather than working through rooms to escape you get a score based on the amount of puzzles you complete. It is replay-able, which is cool. The end of the experience is also super fun, and it involved free “souvenirs”. 10/10 recommend!
Pandora’s BoxTrapped! Escape Room - Las VegasEscape roomIRLThis room was super different from most of the rooms we’ve done before. It’s linear, so probably better for 2-4 people. We had a group of 3 and it was a blast, the room was definitely special-effects heavy in terms of atmosphere, which I think works well for the theme. Also, the room accommodates all skill levels which is really nice.
The Jungle DimensionPuzzle Theory - South WindsorEscape roomIRLThis was a super cute room! It was on the easier side, with puzzles being straight forward. The theming was fantastic, and the room seems like it could be great for beginners while still being involved enough to be fun for more experienced group members. Definitely a kid friendly room also!
The Wizard RealmPuzzle Theory - South WindsorEscape roomIRLPretty cool room overall, the atmosphere was nice as well as the concept. Definitely a “must do” for fans of the Harry Potter franchise. We got stuck on a puzzle because of a technical issue which held us up for a while. Looking beyond that, the room flowed well!
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLSimilar to other rooms at The Escape Game, this room had a fantastic atmosphere. We were in a group of 6 (Our group of 4 got paired with a group of 2). Unfortunately, there were some puzzles that didn’t leave room for a large group to solve so we found ourselves standing around at times. Take that with a grain of salt though, the room was still greatly enjoyable!
Cell Block 4Lara's Labyrinth - WethersfieldEscape roomIRLWe loved this room! It was super memorable. The way you start in the room is unique, and the atmosphere is solid. I went with a few people that have had less experience with escape rooms and we all had a blast. I’d highly recommend it!
Warehouse 13Puzzle Theory - South WindsorEscape roomIRLWe had a lot of fun playing this room! I get spooked easily, so that fact that this room had its fair share of jump scares made things interesting. The atmosphere was great, and while I wouldn’t say that the flow was perfect, it also wasn’t too much of a bother. The room was memorable, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a horror experience.
