Dracula Escape

Some things I liked about the experience was some of the creative puzzles and set design. The architecture of the place was good. There were a few puzzles that felt more unique, ones that you might not find elsewhere. However there were some issues with the escape room. Some of the puzzles were simply guess and check, not intuitive at all. Additionally you can very easily hear everything else going on in the building. My group easily heard a hint being given in another room, and we stopped to listen because it sounded loud enough that we thought it was talking to us. Another thing would be the amount of screens. This is just personal preference but I believe that an overwhelming amount of digital screens takes away from the immersion.

The game has a strong start for atmosphere and the castle courtyard scene at the start does a good job of setting the mood of the game. High ceilings allowed for the game to feel bigger than it actually was. The finale was pretty corny but in a good way and we had a great time.

This is my favorite game I've played to date! It's so much larger than it first seems, and the puzzles are engaging, immersive, and plain old fun! There's an even balance between task-solving and logic-riddling, and the final race to the finish got my heart pounding. The animatronics are stellar, the set-design and props are Hollywood-level quality, and the sound track is not as overwhelming as Jurassic Island Escape was. Our game master was a hoot, playing into a Van Helsing persona for the initial rules brief and during the hints we had to ask for. We finished with 4 minutes to spare, having used all 3 hints before the final room. TAKE YOUR TIME in the middle hall (read additional notes on this review for more info), but don't dawdle, or you WILL run out of time. It's 5 separate areas total; only one area had 2 shorter puzzles, the rest had AT LEAST 3 puzzles each. We lost a lot of time in one area, and finished with only 4 minutes to spare. But daggum, it was fun!

Freaking phenomenal large set with amazing breathtaking moving props! Felt like I was in a real life Universal monster movie! Unfortunately, some mechanics were finicky and we even ended up wasting hints on puzzles, that we knew the answer for but couldn’t get to work. We somehow made it out despite those setbacks, even with some unintuitive puzzles toward the end. Even then, the exciting immersive experience is worth it, and the room itself is a sight to behold! The vampire hiding within definitely does not suck! (Except for your blood)

Had a really good time. I was expecting it to be harder, but it certainly wasn’t easy. Nice intuitive puzzles if you know what you are doing. Tons of visual clues that experts know to look for. Great set and nice story to go with it. Certainly my favorite at this location. We had a first timer with us and he held his own, but I would recommend a few experience people be in the group.

First room at this location and I WAS IMPRESSED- this was my 117th game- I cannot wait to do the other rooms here

A little disappointing that one of the screens wasn't working, but overall very spectacular special effects and set design. I do like the immersiveness of this company.

We had a fun time in this escape room. We had some tricky puzzles but we still had a great time. There was some cool tech in the room.

The Set Design is very strong here. Some architectural choices are odd and the layout is a little funky but the feel of everything is great. A fair amount of this game is not very intuitive so be ready to ask for a lot of hints.

Theming and set design =5 stars ❤️, animatronics, and high tech displays yet felt very Dracula castle and immersive. Storyline= 4-5 stars it all made sense Puzzles=3 stars some of them were great and original especially in the first and 4th room. The final room had some puzzles that were not intuitive and despite asking for clues we still couldn’t get it. I played with teammates that were not enthusiasts so we took longer on a few things than we should have but overall this could easily be a 90 min room especially since their escape rate is 28% Location=3 stars: it’s in a REALLY cool old brick warehouse building up some steep stairs and they have mini golf and arcade games etc. unfortunately you could hear the other escape rooms and pinball machines etc which really distracted from the immersion but we were eventually able to drown it out and focus on the game.
