The Seed Of HopeThe Sanctuary Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis game was so incredible and immersive, I all but forgot we were playing an escape room. We played as a team of six and barely made it to the end, there was so much to do! No spoilers, but I cannot recommend this game enough. The immersion is top notch, the storyline is wonderful, and the PUZZLES! Every puzzle this company does is relevant to the story, themed incredibly well, and just makes sense. Highly highly recommend.
The BasementIntense Escape - Tampa LocationEscape roomIRLI am a person who isn't a big horror fan. I can do haunted houses as long as there is a no touch rule, I can do scary escape rooms because I tell myself they can't touch me. This room removes that element of safety entirely and thus scared me far more than any other experience I've done. That said, for it being especially scary, it was also incredibly fun and man do they do a good job of living up to their name.
Puppet Heist: The Hand Of LifeThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLHave played three games at The Bureau and I can confidently say it's just not my thing. We had multiple technical errors through the game which cost us time, the theme seemed like it had so much more potential than it actually accomplished, and the puzzles aren't as satisfying to solve.
The CavernThe Escape CompanyEscape roomIRLPieces of puzzles were worn down, puzzles were broken, logic leaps and lazy puzzle construction everywhere ... Not my favorite room. The set was cool and the ending was satisfying, but the actual puzzle element of the room was sorely lacking. Also, for a place that advertises bringing you drinks in the rooms, this room is the one room you can't drink in which we didn't know until we got there.
