Operation Arctic Storm: The Final MeltdownThe Escape Ventures - OrlandoEscape roomIRLThis room is BONKERS. The set is HUGE and had many many many satisfying puzzles. We genuinely felt like we were in the arctic, trying to figure out how to survive! As the story progresses, we kept getting surprised on how they fit so much stuff in this room; they did not leave a single inch unused. This room earned one of the ranks of our all-time favorite escape rooms. 10/10
Castle FlüffendorEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLThis is my favorite escape room to date! From the moment we stepped into Chimera Corp’s lobby, we were completely immersed. The puzzles were whimsically fun and thoughtfully designed. The attention to detail in the set design was impressive, making us feel truly transported into a dream with a magical castle. Our game master, Thomas, was enthusiastic to interact with and provided just the right amount of hints to keep us going in the right direction without giving too much away. Overall, this room set a high standard for the future escape rooms we will try in the future. 10/10!
Help WantedEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLWorking as new hires for Chimera Corp was a wonderful experience! We were welcomed by the hiring manager in the lobby, did orientation, and were put to unpaid work! Jokes aside, everything and everyone truly played a part in the immersive experience. I loved the interactions with the live actors and the thematic puzzle mechanisms. After playing both this and Castle Flüffendor, I would recommend playing this room first before doing the other rooms. 10/10!
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLGhost Light is an experience you can’t miss while you’re in Brooklyn! This room made me believe I was backstage in an haunted theater. There were some mild spooky elements, but not enough to scare me even though I’m a big scaredy cat. All of the puzzles were thematic and satisfying to solve. 10/10!
Montauk ProjectMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLIf you’re a Stranger Things fan, you will definitely enjoy this escape room. The whole set had so many Easter egg moments! There were some props and puzzles that we have never encountered anywhere else and also played a part in the immersive experience. My partner has never watched Stranger Things before, but still enjoyed the storyline of this room. A lot of the puzzle sequences blew our sci-fi nerd brains. I would highly recommend watching at least Season 1 of Stranger Things first to truly appreciate all the little details in Montauk Project. 10/10!
ClueBreakout Games - GreensboroEscape roomIRLThis might be the only Breakout room I actually would play again. The set definitely makes you feel like you’re in Clue trying to figure out the suspect, location, and weapon. The puzzles were hysterical, immersive and satisfying to solve. We had a bigger group of people (8), but only 3 of us were experienced, so there was a fair amount of work divided among all of us. If Breakout continues to make rooms like this in the future, I might have to come back again! 10/10!
Bayou BoathouseFox-n-Otter Adventure Escapes Hendersonville LocationEscape roomIRLGoin’ down the bayou! This was a very funny and fun room. The puzzles were on theme with the set and the props. Our partner and I genuinely enjoyed the swamp vibe, which is not a common escape room theme. Some of the clues were not as visible to us (maybe it’s better for kids?), but our GM Ryan still provides some helpful hints to get us to the golden gator! 9/10
Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - West MidtownEscape roomIRLThis is my favorite TEG escape room to date! The set makes you feel like you’re aboard a space station. All of the puzzles were thematic, high-tech, and tactile (I don’t remember a single traditional letter/number lock). My partner and I usually play with just the 2 of us, but we’re glad that 2 more people signed up since some of the puzzles would’ve been extremely hard to accomplish. We were having so much fun, I didn’t want this room to end at all! 10/10!
