Rugrats: Search For The Losted ToysThe Escape Game - King of PrussiaEscape roomIRLThis room was good, but something that we didn’t realize going in was that it was essentially just a reworked version of their Playground room. A lot of the puzzles were the same and since many of us had already done playground, it wasn’t a great experience. However I’m still giving it a positive rating because without that prior knowledge, it would’ve been a great room.
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLThe puzzles for the room were very cohesive and flowed very well. All of the puzzles made sense and mostly were able to be followed in a pretty linear path. They did a good job with the set design, but it isn’t the most immersive room and I would say that at times the plot of what we were supposed to be doing wasn’t super clear. It felt more of a room where you are doing the puzzles independently from the story. However, the puzzles were still good enough and there was enough wow moments to make it a good room.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLSuper unique theme and some really cool puzzles to the room. My only criticism is that they allow for too many people in the room, which means that you often get put with random people (unless you book out the entire room, which is pretty costly for the number of people allowed in this room). It felt like for the most part there were things for everyone to do, but occasionally with that many people it felt like a bit of standing around. Would be a great room with a lesser number of people. Super similar to the Rugrat’s room that they also have in other locations so I would not recommend doing both.
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLReally loved this room. Such a cool concept, the immersion is great, the puzzles are great, and it gives you an experience you won’t get at a lot of escape room places.
Gold RushThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLEscape Game really can’t disappoint - they do what they do very well. Of all the rooms I’ve done though here I would say this is one of the weaker ones. The puzzles were still satisfying, but the theme didn’t seem to be as strong as in their other rooms.
King Of The BootleggersSecret City Adventures - Casa LomaEscape roomIRLI absolutely loved this room. It is so cool getting to traverse through an actual castle while doing an escape room and the actress that I ended up following was phenomenal. The storyline and puzzles change based on which of the live actors you’re following and I’m sure that there are varying levels of satisfaction you get from that, but I really enjoyed my storyline. It is a little strange though that since the group is split up, you will never be doing parts of a different room. Not my favorite aspect of it, but still enjoyed it a lot. More heavy on immersion, theme, and storyline than puzzles though. The puzzles were a bit weak.
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle60Out - MelroseEscape roomIRLWe came to this room after going to a bottomless brunch which I would not recommend as drunk adults had a hard time figuring it out. With that being said, the immersion factor of this was really cool and some of the tech used in the room was also very impressive.
Maze Of HakainaKomnata QuestEscape roomIRLThis is to date one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done. The story was incredibly well set-up and the mood was set extremely well and there were multiple moments that made my group audibly gasp from how great it was. Could not recommend more.
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLFantastic room. Escape Game is always great at combining both well thought out puzzles with great immersion and set design and this might be their best.
The Pharaoh's TombThe Perfect EscapeEscape roomIRLThis was a great room with an absolutely great immersion factor and satisfying puzzles. A lot of tomb ones can be pretty hit or miss, but this one really is one of the best of this genre.
