For many people December is all about one thing, Christmas. But for those of us who are perhaps a tad addicted to escape rooms we get an early Christmas present each year, the (Top Escape Rooms Project Enthusiast Choice Awards) TERPECAs. If you’re not aware of what the TERPECAs are then you’ve been missing out, […]

Escaparium: Magnifico’s Circus (Montreal)
The word “circus” has become synonymous with the word “spectacle”, and Magnifico’s Circus was certainly spectacular on a level unlike anything I have encountered in an escape room before. I actually have no words to describe just how truly beautiful this game is, and it is something that absolutely must be experienced to believe.
Escaparium: The Forgotten Cathedral (Montreal)
I was going through my notes for this game and the words that seem to be repeated are ‘immersion’, ‘theatrics’ and ‘wow’, and to be honest that would sum up this review perfectly. Just play it, and be amazed.
Escaparium: Wardrobe for Sale (Montreal)
Wardrobe for Sale is utterly charming, and as deep as it is whimsical. There is a reason it was named the 7th best game in the world in 2023. And after spending the time investigating it, I will unequivocally say, yes, I would like to buy the wardrobe for sale.
Escaparium: The Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen (Montreal)
I love a pirate game, I’m not ashamed to admit that. This could possibly be my favourite pirate game that I’ve ever played. The puzzles, audio, GM, atmosphere and game design all pulled together to create a wonderful experience. Every little detail had been considered and perfected to ensure that nothing felt out of place – even the ending… ESPECIALLY the ending.
Theory 11 / Neil Patrick Harris: BoxTWO (Play at Home)
For me, BoxOne was a more enjoyable experience with better puzzles and a more engaging story. But there is no denying the quality of BoxTwo – IT’S SO PRETTY! Fun trinkets to interact with, and some clever dynamics – other than one puzzle, it’s a solid game.
Escape Rooms Cardiff: The Tomb 2 (Cardiff)
It was a long time ago that we played the precursor to The Tomb 2, The Tomb (original naming), and I’d say this game was an improvement on the first. Great set design, good immersion, and fun puzzles (well all except one)
Escape Rooms Cardiff: The 13th Floor (Cardiff)
If you’re in the mood for a little Tower of Terror nostalgia, this game may just be the one for you. With spot on theming, satisfying puzzles, and just a hint of theatricality, The 13th Floor is another great addition to the games already on offer at Escape Rooms Cardiff
Escapable: The Great Loudini (Wakefield)
Part magic show, part escape room, The Great Loudini was an experience unlike any other. I’m still utterly baffled by how they managed to do some of the things that they did, and honestly, the only explanation I have is magic.
Escape Quest: Mr Copplestone’s Curiosity Shoppe (Macclesfield)
Now we understand what the fuss is about, and we need to plan many more trips to Macclesfield to play their other games as and when they’re open.
Case Closed: The Murder of Max Sinclair (Edinburgh)
If I could say one thing about Case Closed and The Murder of Max Sinclair, it’s that this isn’t your usual escape room. But it also isn’t your usual detective investigation either. Whatever it is, it’s 90 minutes of pure fun.
