Temple Of The Skull

Theming here is always very well done. The puzzles were not my favorite. Two we had to just like guess/get a ton of hints. One puzzle we had figured out but the tech I guess isn’t working properly. So we wasted about 5 minutes working it from every angle before they told us “oh you have to lift it once everything is in place”.

Highly immersive. Lots of logic. Has one particular puzzle we didn't care for, but the gamemaster helped us through it. Definitely book by phone and not online for the best deal.

The staff here is extremely nice! This room was advertised as “Florida’s biggest escape room” which was untrue and a false marketing tactic. If you want big rooms, try Escape Ventures or several other local companies. Today was unfortunately our last game at this location because we’ve slowly discovered that the bad rooms here outnumber the good. Temple Of The Skull in particular had technical issues and puzzles that were just overly hard and didn’t make sense. There was a hidden arrow in the dark pointing to a major factor in the game play that is literally impossible to see without help. The puzzles in the last room also made absolutely zero sense, so we left scratching our heads. 2/10 only because the set design was pretty in one of the rooms. Save your time.

A second trip back to Game Over Orlando left a similar taste in the mouth that Orphanage did some time ago. Puzzle play was fun and relatively simple in most cases! The only major struggles we had was being able to see well in the relatively large room with one torch as well as having a hard time describing overly complex shapes to each other. While the set itself beautiful the room itself did not really utilize space well leaving at least 40% empty with just wall and no other decor. Overall we did manage to have a fun time here with some unique puzzles and some fun laughs, definitely give it a try if you are in the area :)

This room has incredible theming and design. The story is a pretty standard escape the temple storyline. Gameplay is linear and becomes increasing less intuitive as you progress from room to room. The first room is pretty easy to get through. The second room has one puzzle that is a time sink, a few that require a hint or two because it's not obvious what to do and a multi-tiered puzzle that would be much easier if certain parts were able to stand on their own. The third and final room is very dark. The first two challenges are self explanatory but after that, it's really hard and very frustrating. This game was 4/5 on their scale. We have played three other games here that were 3/5, 4/5 5/5. This was harder that all three of the others. Not sure who is rating their games.

This was one of the biggest escape rooms I’ve done. I did it with one other person which worked out well since it was all linear. The first half was fairly simple. However, some puzzles were kind of confusing near the end. Some of them felt odd and didn’t really flow. The last puzzle was also so frustrating. While the puzzles weren’t great I still loved this room because of the set. The first room was simple yet really interesting. The last room had a component I hadn’t seen before which was really cool. The rooms at Game Over are all so high tech and that is the best thing about them. The hint system was also really cool and knew which puzzle we were on because every puzzle involved some technical aspect. Overall, it was a super fun room and just had some strange puzzles but the tech, design, and atmosphere made up for that.

I enjoyed the size and theming of this room very much. However, the puzzles did not flow well at all. The room is often dark and the supplied light sources kept breaking/ failing. Additionally, we had a negative experience with booking the room. Our first visit was so good, so we will try again but maybe not for a while.
