Sherlocked: The Alchemist (Amsterdam)

Published: 8 November 2023

Sherlocked: The Alchemist (Amsterdam)

This is one of those games where you will play and then want to play again just to go back and see what you missed. Every single item in this game has been hand-crafted for the world they have created and the attention to detail is incredible

Museum of Intrigue (Syracuse, NY, USA)

Published: 31 October 2023

I am not sure I’ve ever had this much fun at the mall, not even when I was 5. If you’re looking for something a little bit different, but totally fantastic, to do in Syracuse, you should look no further than The Museum of Intrigue.

Way Out: Ice Tiki (Athens)

Published: 14 March 2023

Way Out: Ice Tiki (Athens)

I would love to play Ice Tiki again, even though we know how to solve the puzzles, the experience was just amazing. The time we spent in this game was like one big party and it was the perfect end to our holiday. Please please please can we get more games like this in the world!

G-Factor Group: The 7 Mysteries of Pharaoh (Athens)

Published: 14 March 2023

G-Factor Group: The 7 Mysteries of Pharaoh (Athens)

We played this game on a whim and we’re glad we did. There was nothing mind-blowingly special about it, but it had fun puzzles, some cool tech, and a clear ending – although that ending could easily be improved with just a few minor tweaks.

G-Factor Group: Freedom for Sale (Athens)

Published: 14 March 2023

G-Factor Group: Freedom for Sale (Athens)

I’m not a huge fan of prison rooms in general but this one felt just a bit too rough around the edges. We spent more time being frustrated and lost in this room than we did having fun. It’s nice it is available in English now, but it’s not one that we’d recommend to others.

G-Factor Group: Through the Mirror (Athens)

Published: 14 March 2023

G-Factor Group: Through the Mirror (Athens)

This game was a surprise of our Athens trip. I wasn’t expecting much, but, thanks to its original set and puzzles, it was a joy to play. I would have liked there to have been more to it or perhaps a stronger ending, but this game just went back to the main reason we play escape rooms: fun.

Coven Escape: Woman In Black (Athens)

Published: 10 March 2023

Coven Escape: Woman In Black (Athens)

I feel bad for Woman in Black as we played it the day after we had played Chapel and Catacombs so it perhaps didn’t wow us as much as it really should have. But it in its own right, it is still an incredible game with a huge set that I really enjoyed.

The Art of Escape: Lilipout (Athens)

Published: 10 March 2023

The Art of Escape: Lilipout (Athens)

We really wanted to like this game, but instead it was our least favourite game of all the ones we played in Athens. It had potential thanks to the fun set design, but due to poor puzzles and a lack of signposting it is not a game we’ll be recommending anytime soon.

Lockhill: The Sanitorium (Midnight mode) (Athens)

Published: 10 March 2023

Lockhill: The Sanitorium (Midnight mode) (Athens)

This entire experience truly felt like we were in a live adaptation of a Resident Evil or Silent Hill video game. It. Was. Incredible.

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: Athens, Horror

Lockhill: Chapel and Catacombs (Athens)

Published: 1 March 2023

Lockhill: Chapel and Catacombs (Athens)

In a city full of world-class escape rooms, Chapel and Catacombs stands out and was nothing short of incredible. I guess there’s a reason why it’s currently ranked by enthusiasts as the #1 game in the world. While I hate to add to the hype if I were asked, “What should I play in Athens if I only have time for one game?” There is no question, it would be this one.

Station 33: Wake Up (Athens)

Published: 23 February 2023

Station 33: Wake Up (Athens)

Wake Up was a visually impressive experience and I can see why horror aficionados love it. I think we had been spoiled by other experiences so this one didn’t grip us as much as it possibly should have, but it is still a game we will likely never forget.

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: Athens

Exit Plan: The Dark Side of the Elements (Athens)

Published: 23 February 2023

Exit Plan: The Dark Side of the Elements (Athens)

I think if this game was in the UK it would probably be more impressive, but it’s surrounded by world class games in Athens so it’s likely a little overshadowed. We had a good time playing The Dark Side of the Elements and I fell in love with the ceiling and some of the cool tech they used.

No Exit: El Exorcista (Athens)

Published: 16 February 2023

No Exit: El Exorcista (Athens)

I have never experienced anything quite like El Exorcista, and I think that goes for the rest of the team as well. We were, quite literally, dropped into the middle of The Exorcist and I have never felt more immersed in a game

reviewed by Liz Tagged With: Athens, Horror

Escapepolis: The Butcher Resurrection (Athens)

Published: 16 February 2023

Escapepolis: The Butcher Resurrection (Athens)

This game felt like more of a traditional live actor horror escape room rather than some of the others we played, and that’s not a bad thing. The puzzles were solid, the story was good, and the set was suitably terrifying

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: Athens

Escapepolis: Cosmos 05 Death in Space (Athens)

Published: 16 February 2023

Escapepolis: Cosmos 05 Death in Space (Athens)

We really wanted to love this game, and in a way we did. We loved the tech, we just found the gameplay to be a bit lacking and we ended up more frustrated than anything else

Paradox Project: The Music Academy (Athens)

Published: 7 February 2023

Paradox Project: The Music Academy (Athens)

The Music Academy is one of those games that keeps on going. When we thought we were done, there was more puzzling to be done! We haven’t played many three hour games, but Paradox Project are surely the masters of this domain, what an experience!

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: Athens

Paradox Project: The Bookstore (Athens)

Published: 7 February 2023

Paradox Project: The Bookstore (Athens)

If you want a short review, then I’ll simply say The Bookstore is a beautiful game. The puzzles are perfect, the narrative is interesting, twisty, and ever present, and it’s all housed in a beautifully designed, quirky space. Athens may be known as a destination for excellent horror games, but those certainly aren’t the only excellent games you’ll find here.

Paradox Project: The Mansion (Athens)

Published: 7 February 2023

Paradox Project: The Mansion (Athens)

While the sequel to The Mansion is more highly thought of, it would be wrong to skip this game in favour of only playing the second. The Mansion in its own right is a well-thought-out, fun game with a strong narrative, and an immense number of surprising and satisfying puzzles.

Improbable Escapes: Legend of the Mayan Temple (Kingston, ON)

Published: 6 October 2019

Improbable Escapes: Legend of the Mayan Temple (Kingston, ON)

A fun room, with solid puzzles but was unfortunately let down by a truly terrible clue system

Mountain Room Escapes: Escape the Cabin (Big Bear)

Published: 23 January 2019

If you’re in Big Bear you should probably get out in nature, but if the weather is bad then this is a great room to do.

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: America, Big Bear, Team of Two

Mountain Room Escapes: Alpine Ski Lodge (Big Bear)

Published: 23 January 2019

A friend had recommended Big Bear as a must-see so we thought this was a good excuse to go.

Escape Games at the River: The Secret of Dragon’s Spire (Palm Springs)

Published: 22 January 2019

Some great wow moments and so much fun all around. Definitely worth doing!

Escape Games at the River: The Forgotten Pharaoh (Palm Springs)

Published: 21 January 2019

The Forgotten Pharaoh, Escape at the River

Although not the best room at this location, it is still the second best room we did in Palm Springs

Escape Room Palm Springs: Bank Heist (Palm Springs)

Published: 21 January 2019

Our third and fortunately final room at Escape Palm Springs was ‘Bank Heist’

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: America, Palm Springs, Team of Two

Escape Room Palm Springs: Merlin’s Magic School (Palm Springs)

Published: 21 January 2019

A room that tries to hard to be special and has a very strange GM setup. I’m not sure this room ever had any ‘magic’

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: America, Palm Springs, Team of Two

Escape Room Palm Springs: Titanic (Palm Springs)

Published: 21 January 2019

‘Titanic’ where you have to find the last hidden life boat before the ship goes down.

Stash House (Los Angeles)

Published: 20 January 2019

Everything just works in the way it is meant to and you find yourself just moving from one puzzle to the next without a care in the world.

QuestRoom: Red Giant (Los Angeles)

Published: 20 January 2019

QuestRoom: Red Giant (Los Angeles)

If Red Giant is anything to go by, the company may well be setting the standard for the future of escape rooms.

reviewed by Liz Tagged With: America, Los Angeles, Team of Two

Hatch Escapes: Lab Rat (Los Angeles)

Published: 20 January 2019

If you’re in Los Angeles and there is a room that has been ranked number eight in the world then really it would be rude not to try it out.

Mission Escapes: Escape the Hideout (Los Angeles)

Published: 18 January 2019

Just around the corner from Disneyland is Mission Escapes, and what better than to do an escape room after Disney closes?

reviewed by Gord Tagged With: America, Los Angeles

Escapade Games: Zoe (Los Angeles)

Published: 17 January 2019

We heard this was the scariest room in LA, we discussed if this was actually something we wanted to do. I’m glad we did
