Prison BreakThe Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLThis was one of the first times we had another team work with us but it was so much fun! Teamwork is definitely the strongest part of this room, but the mostly linear puzzles made sense and didn’t require too much brainpower.
Gold RushThe Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLHaven’t yet found an Escape Game room (or any escape room for that matter) that I love quite as much as Gold Rush. Fun, beginner-friendly puzzles, set design and atmosphere like no other. Me and my team find that we keep comparing every room we do to this one, simply because it was such a positive experience. On top of that, when friends ask us what our favorite room we’ve ever done was, it’s always a resounding “Gold Rush!”
Movie MayhemCodeword EscapeEscape roomIRLThe time and energy put into this room was insane! Puzzles were well thought out and very on theme. Not overwhelming in the slightest and flowed nicely with the story. Unique and challenging puzzles that you won’t get bored from. Truly positive experience.
ZZ's Big Top CircusNorth Valley Escape RoomEscape roomIRLOverall super impressed by the design of the room. If you’re used to super linear (lock and key, combination, pattern) puzzles then this is definitely a new experience. There were puzzles me and my team needed nudging on simply because no one would’ve thought to solve them that way. My only negative on this room would be the usage of smell and sound to create the atmosphere. After a while, both components became more of a headache and less of a creative liberty.
Escape From Oz [prev. The Wicked Witch's Castle]Eludesions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLA rare non-escape. Something about this room threw our team of three for a loop. We figured since this one was easier than Mad Hatter (our running favorite at Eludesions) that we would have no problem getting through. Some of the puzzles just didn’t make sense with the story though I’m sure updates have been made since I played this one.
Kate's MotelESCAPE:chandlerEscape roomIRLInteresting puzzles but would benefit from having more people/brainpower in the room (4-6 seems to be recommended). Puzzles seemed linear but that might just have been because we were confused and therefore moving one at a time. That being said, there were some cool aspects I have never seen in an escape room before. Overall good puzzles and definitely a challenge! (#3 hardest in the state)
The SpeakeasyPuzzling EscapeEscape roomIRLInteresting story elements and design. The time machine was a new feature I wasn’t expecting. Puzzles were mostly linear and easy to get through. Only negative was that our game master gave a couple redundant or unnecessary hints that made play a little less fun but overall a good experience.
Tony's BistroESCAPE:chandlerEscape roomIRLAtmosphere was immersive and didn’t feel solely lock and key. Interesting technology aspects and especially good for a smaller group.
Jekyll & HydeUnited Escapes Of America - MesaEscape roomIRLCool design and immersive aspects but moving between rooms felt a little awkward and like you were starting something new completely. That being said, still think about this room to this day.
Budapest ExpressEscapology - TewksburyEscape roomIRLThe detail and design of this room drew us in at first. Though we quickly discovered that puzzles were not cohesive and flowed very awkwardly. On top of that, 3 rooms are featured with the attention to detail becoming less and less clear. 5 person team and somehow still wasn’t clicking.
