L'Île perdue de la Reine Vaudou [The Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen]

On a adoré l’expérience hyper immersive et l’animation, mais une chance que l’aide était présente toute au long ! C’est pas un expert pour rien ! 😅🏴‍☠️🔮⚓️💀

Excellent jeu, super décor et très bonne immersion

Good combo of linear and non linear sections of game play. Cool effects and set with creative interactions with it.

I loved the set and theme of Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen - one of my favorite childhood games was Monkey Island, and I got strong vibes of that in this game. Puzzles were pretty good as well; things made sense and flowed well. Like some other games at Escaparium, my main problem with the game was audio. Some dialog (generally lines coming from above) was very hard for me to make out clearly, which got in the way of enjoying the game. Fortunately, it turned out to be more for flavor and less for critical information, so it wasn't a huge deal, but everything else about the game was so good that this stuck out to me.

Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen absolutely blew us away; we truly felt like the main characters of an adventure movie. As of writing this review, this is absolutely the best escape room I've ever played in my life. The opening sequence did a beautiful job setting the story, the set was mind-bloggling from start to finish, and the lighting choices made the space genuinely feel more like an outdoor environment than a room. Additionally, the GM was probably the best we've ever had. He was an amazing actor, completely focused on our group, never broke character, kept us progressing through the story without making us feel like we were getting hints, and most importantly kept up great banter with us throughout the game. The special effects also blew us away, and were both surprising and realistic. This was one of those games where I wasn't thinking about any sort of race against the clock, I was simply immersed in our adventure. This game is a must-play and absolutely worth traveling for. David's 2020 review on Room Escape Artist still holds up to this day, the only part we disagreed with was the negative about too many breakaway objects, which Escaparium seems to have since fixed. In our playthrough 5yrs after REA's review, we were only able to pick up things that we were genuinely meant to work with.

Spectacular set. Good puzzles. Hilarious acting.

This is what I've wanted every other pirate escape room to be. The GM / hint system is incredible. The puzzles are fun. The set isn't as mind-blowing as some of their other offerings, but you can bet this would be the crown jewel room in 95% of escape rooms out there. I really enjoyed this one. The only downsides are a weird step in the boat which I nearly tripped over multiple times, and the audio in the intro is VERY hard to hear.

Fantastic, great story and fun puzzles and an amazing set. We could hang out on this set all the time. Thoroughly enjoyed the hint system and interaction with the actor. There were a couple of moments that truly needed participation from everyone on the team which is always great.

The best pirate themed escape room I have ever done. The room was very well designed and I loved the set and atmosphere. 9.5/10
