Ghost LightMyss Tic RoomsEscape roomIRLThe puzzles for the room were very cohesive and flowed very well. All of the puzzles made sense and mostly were able to be followed in a pretty linear path. They did a good job with the set design, but it isn’t the most immersive room and I would say that at times the plot of what we were supposed to be doing wasn’t super clear. It felt more of a room where you are doing the puzzles independently from the story. However, the puzzles were still good enough and there was enough wow moments to make it a good room.
Rugrats: Search For The Losted ToysThe Escape GameEscape roomIRLThis room was good, but something that we didn’t realize going in was that it was essentially just a reworked version of their Playground room. A lot of the puzzles were the same and since many of us had already done playground, it wasn’t a great experience. However I’m still giving it a positive rating because without that prior knowledge, it would’ve been a great room.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLSuper unique theme and some really cool puzzles to the room. My only criticism is that they allow for too many people in the room, which means that you often get put with random people (unless you book out the entire room, which is pretty costly for the number of people allowed in this room). It felt like for the most part there were things for everyone to do, but occasionally with that many people it felt like a bit of standing around. Would be a great room with a lesser number of people. Super similar to the Rugrat’s room that they also have in other locations so I would not recommend doing both.
Gold RushThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLEscape Game really can’t disappoint - they do what they do very well. Of all the rooms I’ve done though here I would say this is one of the weaker ones. The puzzles were still satisfying, but the theme didn’t seem to be as strong as in their other rooms.
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLFantastic room. Escape Game is always great at combining both well thought out puzzles with great immersion and set design and this might be their best.
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLReally loved this room. Such a cool concept, the immersion is great, the puzzles are great, and it gives you an experience you won’t get at a lot of escape room places.
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle60Out MelroseEscape roomIRLWe came to this room after going to a bottomless brunch which I would not recommend as drunk adults had a hard time figuring it out. With that being said, the immersion factor of this was really cool and some of the tech used in the room was also very impressive.
The Pharaoh's TombThe Perfect EscapeEscape roomIRLThis was a great room with an absolutely great immersion factor and satisfying puzzles. A lot of tomb ones can be pretty hit or miss, but this one really is one of the best of this genre.
Save The FleetEscape UEscape roomIRLI had done their Asylum escape room prior to this and had high expectations because I loved that room so much, but this one just didn’t measure up. It wasn’t as immersive and the puzzles weren’t as satisfying.
Grandma's Masterplan60Out MelroseEscape roomIRLParts of this room were really cool and had fantastic set design and parts of it left something to be desired. It seems a bit imbalanced with parts of the game feeling a little more thrilling than other parts, but overall it was a good room.
