Forgotten ChainsFunbi GamesEscape roomPortableClever concept that requires 4 players. It encourages teamwork, conversation, and recontextualizing props. Some puzzles are more ambiguous with how they should be solved, but still, it’s a fun concept, and well worth playing. Thanks, Bill!
Amazon RainForestInternational Room Escape AZEscape roomPortableA very good room that could be great with a few tweaks. There are some strong elements of set design and novel puzzle interactions. The cheesy intro video doesn’t do the initial set justice, and the final section of the room feels more half-baked than the preceding sections. Run books and translation inhibit complete engagement from the group. However, this is a fairly-designed room where a group of mostly new players got out with a little struggle but no hints!
Robot Rescue (Lobby Version)Fox in a Box TucsonEscape roomPortableA fun experience for two. Despite being riddled with tech and prop issues, this game still offered many novel interactions and clever puzzles.
Houdini's ChallengeMystery Escape Room - TucsonEscape roomPortableFor portable/mini escape rooms, this is about as bare bones as they come, but it's not without it's charms. With a bunch of nested boxes and traditional locks, you won't find any tech here, but the puzzles are fairly clued, minus perhaps one that leans on some outside info. It's a thin or non-existent story, but it's a worthwhile thing to do if you have time to kill.
