Finding Frosty: A Happy, Jolly Christmas CaperBlack Cat Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed this holiday themed room. There were two of us and we solved the room. Only caveat is that one of the puzzles was very difficult for someone only 5 foot tall. Luckily, we had a taller person. It is a room with multiple levels and we did not do the harder level.
ClueBreakout Games - Virginia BeachEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed the room. There were 3 of us, but 2 of us would have been enough. A couple of puzzles were nice to have another person helping but not required. Definitely had some CLUE feel. For us older people, know that even the board game has a couple of different names for things these days, but won't take you long to figure out.
Escape the 80sEscapism GamesEscape roomIRLThere were only two of us, and we did not quite escape, but were on the last puzzle. We feel the room can be done by as few as two people. We did not rush ourselves. If we had,we could have gotten out. The puzzles were interesting. Not overly simple and not too hard. The decor and props were not fancy but served the story well.
Amaze-ing Cafe & BakeryOne Way Out - Lynchburg Escape RoomEscape roomIRLTwo of us. We enjoyed this. It was on the easy side, but not simplistic. Set, props, etc were great and felt like at the bakery.
Escape To NeverlandOperation EscapeEscape roomIRLThere was a nice story, nice sets, and good puzzles. Some things that lessened the enjoyment of the experience: 1) The background music was too loud, such that we had to raise our voices to speak to each other. 2) the constant changing of colored ambient lights (not strobing, but every few seconds) made it very difficult to see some things (such as things that needed to be read). Never did manage to see some of the faint color differences that were important. 3) Our game master appeared to be running the whole place as one person. Running three rooms, doing checkins, room resets, etc. Thus, into our game, we got the message "I have to leave for a few minutes to reset another room. Do you want your first hint now?" We were making progress and not ready for a hint yet, so declined (not sure a hint would have even been useful at that point). Then, when we WERE ready for a hint, we had to wait a few minutes until he returned. Then, he had to ask us a series of questions to "catch up" and find out what we had already done. For a "3 hints" establishment with time penalty for additional hints, this was highly unexpected, as part of the experience of these rooms is knowing when to ask for a hint to make the experience enjoyable and solvable.
Rock N Roll Hall of FameCurtain Calls XscapeEscape roomIRLThe two of us enjoyed this room. The ambience was good, the puzzles were fun, the GM was great.
Scene of the CrimeEscape2Win ClevelandEscape roomIRLLoved this room. It was very immersive in the scenery, props, story, etc. There were two of us and we managed to get out.
Nick of TimeBreakout KC - River MarketEscape roomIRLA cute Christmas theme without being over the top. Two people can do it. More than 3 people might be falling over each other.
High Noon SaloonEscape Room Virginia BeachEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed the puzzles. Nothing was easy nor too hard.
Houdini HeistEscape2Win ClevelandEscape roomIRLThis was a great room. We indeed felt like we could be in a magician's dressing room. It was just two of us and we did fine. We liked the story, the props and the puzzles. There were a few things that were different than we have seen in other escape rooms.
