The Wonderful Wizard of Oz13th Hour Escape Room - WhartonEscape roomIRLI think the reviews of this place made my expectations too high. The room itself was really fricken cool, and there was one element in particular that was just incredible. The puzzles were pretty easy and straightforward, and the design was awesome. That was all great! The thing I’ll say is- you can hear all of the other, scarier, rooms very clearly if they’re being used because you’re all in one huge warehouse. So through a lot of our experience we were hearing people scream bloody murder, and a lot of frightening sound effects that were really distracting. Our guide was also very distracted and fully entered our room at the end to help us with a puzzle we were already solving and didn’t need a clue for. So that took us out of the world. Idk the whole experience was very strange. But the room itself? Super cool. I think it just needed some music to drown out the other rooms
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLI think this has become my new favorite room. Just awesome in every way. SOOOO many puzzles, all of which were cool and unique. So many elements I had never seen before, and we walked into every room saying wow. I had a BLAST! A must-play!!!
The BirdMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLjust fantastic! exceptional set design, really fun and unique puzzles. Can’t recommend this company enough!
Lab RatHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLTHIS ROOM!!!!! It’s been on my bucket list for YEARS and I finally get to check it off!! This room really had it all! So many fun puzzles, so much to do, and soooo many elements. The one thing I’ll say is that it’s clear there have been people who have messed around in the past because there were a loooooot of in-game precautions that kept being relayed by the GM over the speaker. It kinda distracted from the game because we would just be trying something out and then they’d come on the speaker and explain why we shouldn’t touch something, but even with that, it was still so great!
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLEASILY the best escape room I’ve done in NYC and definitely one of my favorites ever!!! The tech was amazing, the atmosphere was so immersive, and most puzzles were very straightforward but not necessarily easy. It was dope. I can’t wait to play all the rooms this place has!!!
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLGreat set design, good puzzle-to-room ratio, all around really fun! I don’t even know what else to say except: go play this room. One of my favorites ever
Gold RushThe Escape Game - NYC MidtownEscape roomIRLI loved the atmosphere, loved the puzzles, and there were some great surprises too. I’m curious to see how much more I would’ve liked this at a different branch, because the NYC Escape Game is very compact, but even still it was so fun!!
Wrongfully ConvictedThe Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLThis was one of the coolest escape rooms I’ve ever done. So many elements to it, and so many unique things I hadn’t seen in other rooms. It’s been months and I still think about it all the time. You must do this!! (There were 3 people in my party and I would recommend maybe 3-4, you really feel like you’re all doing something)
Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)The Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLI found this one pretty hard, just because of the amount of elements, but the set design and the props and the production value were excellent!
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - Rancho Cucamonga [prev. at San Bernardino]Escape roomIRLLOVE this game. So many puzzles, such a fantastic payoff at the end- no notes. so much fun. We played with 6 people, I would say that’s the max you should play with so that everyone still gets the full effect. An experienced group of 4 could do this too!
