Galactic Abduction

So this was our second escape room here. They used to have a pirate one which was okay. This was honestly the worst escape room I’ve done. The puzzles for the first two rooms didn’t make any sense. Some puzzles didn’t work well mechanically and we were stuck repeating the same thing over and over. Even if you are doing it correctly, being off by like a cm caused it to reset. And it was a LONG puzzle. The other puzzles just weren’t done well. Last, the ride was LONg and counted as part of your time. We had the last puzzle done but couldn’t input it due to being on the “ride”. The “ride” is a platform on hydraulics. I really think this one needs to be completely re done.

The technology in the room is really cool. The room is so much fun.

Time Travel Escapes has always been one of my favorite escape room companies in south Florida. There is so much love in each and everyone one of their games. That being said, this wasn’t my favorite of the games. I felt as though the set design was top notch, and was extremely unique, the puzzles just didn’t necessarily make sense and there was some disconnect at times. For example, the answer you had to put in might not be in the same shape or even pattern as the place where you input it, making it hard to connect the two. I would say I wish there was clearer indication with more complex puzzles rather than the “difficulty” level relying on connecting an answer to its input. Also, and this is way more of a nitpicky statement, but I felt as though there was too many mechanical and rather simple “tech” elements for a room that is marketed as “high tech.” No there might not have been any physical combination locks, but you would solve something that makes a button appear that makes something open. What’s the point of the button? It’s an extra step that serves really no purpose. It would be way more immersive for the next puzzle or location to reveal itself when you solve something, rather than having that extra step. All in all, time travel escapes has amazing games and I always have an amazing time, but it’s still under companies like Legends of Xscape for best escape room company in south Florida for me.
