Time MachineNot Another Escape RoomEscape roomIRLIf Michel Gondry made an escape room, this would be it. Lovingly hand-crafted, temporally-mindblowing, easily the highest wow factor game per dollar spent on the production budget (and I mean that with the highest praise). Wish I could go back in time and play it again.
The Nest [Immersive Theatre]Hatch EscapesEscape roomOther Just an all-time great. I wish I could go back and experience it again for the first time. (Or again, period… 🪦)
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser [Immersive]Disney World - S Studio DrEscape roomOther Not an escape room. Not a LARP, per se. Was not a lot of things, but was also so many things. What a thing. May the stars light your way, Lady H. 🫡

Escape from the Science Lab of Shifting RulesSCRAP Co. / Real Escape Game - OnlineEscape roomVirtual Sometimes hilarious, always clever, a perfect example of a game that could only be implemented as an online-specific experience. Would shift again!
Defeat The BizEnigmatic EscapesEscape roomIRLI was the exact target demographic of this game. Wood-paneled CRT televisions, fake dialup BBSes, custom-made 8-bit video games (!), and an all-time favorite pun for the name of the room? SIGN ME UP.
