Election DayAppleseed AvenueEscape roomOther This is what escape rooms are all about - a game that made me fall in love with the medium all over again. An incredibly detailed neighborhood made up of distinctly beautiful spaces, intuitive onboarding, clever and logical problem solving, and one-of-a-kind character interactions, which were ALL in service of hilarious, dramatic, and unforgettable storytelling. I can’t stop thinking about this game. If you want to experience some of the most immersive gameplay and storytelling in the area, swing by Appleseed Avenue and register to vote before Election Day. What could go wrong?
The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLI can’t stop thinking about this game! Incredibly impressive and immersive set design, genuinely clever and surprising storytelling, and puzzles that require items and tools you’d actually find and use in a repair shop. Plenty of surprising moments that had us thinking, “we get to do that?!” What also stood out to us was the room’s adaptive gameplay. The game adjusts the number of puzzles seamlessly based on your group’s speed of solving. All types of groups will be rewarded with a full hour of puzzle solving. A must play in the Boston area. It’s Girl Scouts law.
The Morrison Game FactoryPostCuriousEscape roomTabletopThis game was such a joy to play. The puzzles were smart and intuitive, with satisfying and elegant solutions, but the story really took center stage. We had no clue what this game would be about, but the characters revealed themselves in a surprising way and pulled us in immediately. The story was impactful, memorable, and took us on a ride. Combine that story with high-caliber puzzles, a beautiful cohesive aesthetic, and quality game materials, and you’ve got yourself another winner from PostCurious.
InksidiousEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLChanneled our inner DoodleBob for a very fun and clever game. The storyline stood out to us the most, with a unique and memorable beginning, middle, and end. A healthy number of logical and enjoyable puzzles, with a few that poke fun at escape room tropes (but still utilize those tropes for solving). Jules was such a fantastic, upbeat, and kind host! Would definitely recommend this game, and when you do visit, tell Beans I say pspspsps 🐈
