Mark as done to rate

Y’all ready to get extermuhnatin? Your crew from the Vermin Vanquishers, Sarasota’s premier rodent exterminators, get the call to Spaulding’s Junkyard — called in to handle what ol’ Spaulding himself thought was going to be just a simple pesky rodent problem. A job that should be a quick in-and-out. Set some traps, spray some poison, and grab a cold one on the way back. But the second you step past the junkyard office, somethin’ feels off. Real off. Light’s start flickerin’, shadows move when they shouldn’t, and there’s a low growlin’ comin’ from deep in the scrap heaps. Somethin’ big. Somethin’ mean. This ain’t your everyday rodent. Will you exterminate the beast, or be buried in the scrap heap?

Wow! Chris and his team put together a really amazing room with this one. The balance of tension and humor is difficult to execute but this game strikes that balance in spectacular fashion. The puzzles were very intuitive but just the right amount of challenging. If you like scary-ish games, do yourself a favor and book this thang!

Great room, lots of challenging puzzles and great atmosphere to the room. Each room had strong smells that added to the game. In the last room one of the locks were broken which allowed us to skip a puzzle but the game was still great.

Some nice scares, including some very clever, sneaky ones. The set looks very cool, the puzzle and room flow makes sense, very solid. Our GM Aaron had such a great funny character, which made our scary time delightful!

Had a great experience with this room, def one of the top that we've experienced. Puzzle variation is great, not doing the same type of puzzle over and over... the room decor and atmosphere is spot on. Can't wait for the next vacation, so we can book another room here.

im a wimp but after asking them to dial back the jump scares it really wasn't bad at all. I think i would have been ok with the jump scares. Theme is super original and puzzles all made sense. good for 2-3 players IMO. worth the visit!

Absolutely adore this room! It is incredibly well done. Plan to add this to the must play list along with other area favorites. The scenic, story, and puzzles all flowed together to create something magical.

This was SUCH an amazing experience. From the moment we started to the stop of the clock: the story was moving us along and the puzzles were exceptional. A great blend of puzzles and tech, fantastic scares that were perfectly executed and just a beautifully cluttered design! (It’s a junkyard, what can you expect!) Perfect set, perfect team, and perfect set. Shoutout to Chris and Trevor for knocking it out of the park with this one. A must do in the Sarasota area! (And worth the drive if you’re not)

Evasive Escape Rooms definitely feels like it's influenced by other companies in the area, especially The Escape Ventures (actually one of the owners of TEV suggestions is the reason we ended up playing these). This has essentially the same game structure as TEV horror offerings like Neighborhood Watcher and Nightfall. And that influence means that they are really good. Exterminated has good puzzles, a great atmosphere (with a well-executed theme that really isn’t seen often), and of course good game master interactions and jumpscares (a shoutout to the intro scene, which, while lowkey in plot significance, is really well done). But the real highlight of this game is that all of these strengths are accomplished in an amazingly small footprint. Each space in this game is notably small compared to most other games, yet I never thought about this throughout the entire game (other than the fact that it streamlined the gameplay a lot because it was very obvious what was and wasn’t a puzzle in such a small space). Go check this game out! Definitely worth going out of the way for on an Orlando Escape Room trip, especially including them on a day with the Port Charlotte TEV Games that these are on the way to.

It’s a relatively tame horror game. There’s only a few scares and many of them are similar to each other and get kind of predictable.
