La Cerveseria [The Brewery]EnigmikEscape roomIRLOne of the most impressive displays of technology I have ever experienced in a room, with a fully automated system that progresses with you through the elaborate space. The brewery theming was also unique for a room, and its puzzles surrounding the beer-making process were both clever and informative. Overall, a room you simply MUST experience!
RockstarCityscape GamesEscape roomIRLOne of the best rooms in the Seattle area! The rock band/music theme was really well integrated into the puzzles, the visual design was clean and immersive, and the puzzles themselves were well structured with visual affordances clearly connecting which clues went with which locks. Overall a great experience, and i look forward to any new rooms Cityscape games creates!

Lombino's CasinoIn Search Of An ExitEscape roomIRLAn incredibly themed room filled with really well designed puzzles! The puzzles were very tactile and made great use of the casino theming and 1980s technology. Extra points for the surprising entrance to the space and the excllenet GM!
Cryptid GroveEscape Room Herndon - Raven's NestEscape roomIRLAnother excellent room from ERH! Great puzzle design, with iconography that does a good job of linking key information with the lock it solves, and a nice balance of different puzzle types. The art design of the room was particularly great, with a thick lined, cartoony look that harkens to its inspiration from Gravity Falls. There was one moment towards the end of the room where we were a bit stumped as to what puzzle was left to be solved, but otherwise the room flowed really well. Overall, highly recommend!
The Graverobber's DilemmaEscape Room HerndonEscape roomIRLExcellent atmosphere, with some inventively spooky reveals. Puzzles were solid, but a little on the easy side.
Mystery At Innsmouth: An Official Arkham Horror Escape RoomHourglass EscapesEscape roomIRLExcellent atmosphere and great use of technology! The branching puzzle structure works really well, offering moments where there are simultaneous puzzles to work on that all come back to contribute to a meta puzzle, before branching off with more simultaneous puzzles again.
Guardians' GroveSure Lock Escapes – Cypher Island (Renton)Escape roomIRLAnother beautiful room from Sure Lock Escapes! The atmosphere really makes you feel like you are in a jungle. A few of the more dexterity-based puzzles were frustratingly hard, but overall it was very well designed.
Shimmer ReefSure Lock Escapes – Cypher Island (Renton)Escape roomIRLBeautiful, immersive room with a good variety of puzzles. The underwater, coral reef setting was truly delightful!
