Jurassic Escape

Ugh. We really wanted to love this room. The production value was awesome. But the escape itself was not good. It was so disappointing. The puzzles to solve were all over the place. One of the logic puzzles is written in a way that actually makes it unsolvable. The mafia room here is sooo good and we had such high expectations. But the new rooms— Vegas and now this— are both highly disappointing. Storm surge was way better than this.

Mind Trap always has extremely impressive production design, but the last two rooms I did here left my frustrated due to puzzle designs that were unintuitive and just not fun to do. I feel like their Jurassic room goes back to pairing their extremely strong sets with good puzzles. We only missed one thing, but even the stuff we solved on our own still felt clever. This room isn't as over the top as some of their others, but it has some really cool moments. Overall, I would put this into the same category as their Mafia and Vampire rooms.

Weeks before doing this room, we did an official Jurassic Park escape experience at Universal Studios, and that one was terrible. Luckily, life found a way to bring us this phenomenal game from Mind Trap! This might actually be my favorite dino room I’ve ever played. Stunning animatronics, props, lighting effects, and cinematic moments. The puzzles are all great and pay tribute to the movies that clearly inspired it. It shouldn’t be too hard for most groups. We had almost 9 minutes to spare as an undersized group of 2 and only a few hints. Also, don’t worry too much if the high scare factor is a turn off, it’s not scary unless you hate dinosaurs or are very young. We played it for my partner’s birthday, and she loved it. They even gave her a special present! Don’t be preoccupied with whether you could play this awesome room, stop and think that you should!

This room is spot on! Highest quality in immersion and props! Enjoy!
