25 escape rooms

5.5/10 enjoyment and fluidity. Completed in a team of 2. The simple story/premise was fine, but the room felt very finicky with random Halloween-store props. There were quite a few locks and it wasn't clear which puzzle solutions went to which locks, so trying the combination on different locks made everything feel random and not cohesive to a story. There was a good combination of puzzles and riddles. They really weren't hard though. Pretty easy for kids to do. A lot of the challenge came not from the puzzles themselves but scavenging things in the dark room. If the room was brighter, it might've been easier to find pieces of puzzles that were essential to solving the puzzles. We had to get a few hints because we just missed some props. Also the room and puzzles were very mechanical and old-school. Not high tech at all in the sense that the game master needed to be watching us and listening to us to press something to unlock the next thing. From most to least favorite, I'd rank their rooms as the following, and I wouldn't recommend anything below Prey and Masquerade: Perfect Crime, Exodus, Prey, Masquerade , Nuclear Annihilation, Quarantine

This room was very average. At the time it was an intro for me into spookier escape rooms, and this one was VERY tame. A lot of the puzzles were a little too abstract and didn’t make very much sense, but I don’t think this game deserves its “expert” rating

We were a group of 4 doing this escape. We used 4 clues and needed every last second to get out of this room. This room was full of puzzles and we worked the whole time in groups of 2 solving them. This was a more advanced level of escape in my opinion.

This was not a fun room. Puzzles didn't feel very intuitive and there were some wierd figures within that were meant to give some scary, shock value but really missed the mark. Decor felt cheap we didn't feel immersed. Was like things were trying to be gross for the heck of it. Really couldn't get a rhythm in here and the lighting was not very good to read clues and unlock locks. This is a pass in my opinion.

a door you can easily pass up that leads to a small hallway with an elevator. Wasn't sure at first if we were in the right place.

This room was not immersive in the slightest and the puzzles were too abstract to make sense in context. The decor looked straight out of a Halloween costume shop and immediately took me out of the experience.

Gameplay

The game play didn’t feel immersive, it felt very much like an escape room and not a real experience. The puzzles were too abstract to make sense in context and gameplay just felt forced.

Atmosphere

It looked like they raided a Halloween store. The ceiling was covered in fake spiders with giant gaudy spiders. There was a physical bookshelf set right next to a wall that was plastered with bookshelf wallpaper. The bookshelf wallpaper was entirely irrelevant to the game and just made it less immersive.

Customer service

The game master was welcoming but the hints that we got in the room just made us more confused. They were too cryptic to make any sense at all.

Particularly interesting or different

No

This was just an average low budget “scary” escape room.

Story

The storyline was intriguing but the execution fell short in every sense.

I got through this experience just fine with just one other person.

Supposed to be scary but too obviously fake to be scary. The second room is even gaudier than the first.

It’s not nearly as scary as it is advertised as.

Fairly accessible. The second space is a bit cramped but all elements should be doable with team collaboration.

Yes

Inside a building on the 5th and 6th floor but all of the information you need to find it is online.

In the city.

  • The room wasn't what we expected. It felt like it needed an upgrade w/ the decor and the design.
