  • Escape Quest Luzern - "Paranormal Activity"

    LOCATION: Luzern, Switzerland Photo above is property of Escape Quest Luzern Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Paranormal Activity 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 10, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Mystery 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 5/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-6 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : 98 - 198 CHF ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes [26:37] 📖 THE STORY Not believing the stories you’ve been told about a strange and abandoned house, you decide to investigate the old family home which has been plagued by paranormal activity. Will you discover any evidence, and more importantly, will you survive to tell others about it? 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE The game has a really nice flow to it, there are multiple rooms to explore and a lot of props and thematic furniture inclusions. During the game we explore a lot of the house, including a surprise location! I feel the majority of escape rooms fail to properly embed a story that has the possibility to evolve during the game, however, in this room there is definitely an unexpected twist which impressed us and created a thrilling finale. This is a linear room with a set of puzzles that begin to crank up in complexity as we progress. The variety of tasks was also impressive and had us having to think outside of the box on a couple of occasions. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK We ultimately felt that the room lacked the ‘paranormal’ in paranormal activity. There should have been more special effects to push the illusion of ghosts and spirits haunting the property and possibly putting our lives in danger. For those not wanting to spend an hour on edge it might be a relief, but for those expecting a spooky experience from start to end, you might leave feeling a little underwhelmed. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? This was our favourite room at Escape Quest. It delivers on providing creative puzzles and an engaging story. As mentioned above, the room is not as scary as we would have liked, but this might be preferable for other teams. For experienced players, this room is ideal for a two-person game due to its relatively low difficulty level. However, newer teams might find it beneficial to bring up to four players to fully enjoy the experience ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO There are parking spaces in front of the entrance, on the roof of the adjacent building, and around the building for visitors. There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and some drinks for purchase. There are some small puzzle boxes and other escape room adjacent items for sale too.

  • Escape Quest Luzern - "The Fair"

    LOCATION: Luzern, Switzerland Photo above is property of Escape Quest Luzern Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : The Fair 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 10, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Adventure 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 5/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-7 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : 98 - 231 CHF ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes [26:58] 📖 THE STORY It’s almost time for the great big Swiss fair, but oh-no, disaster! Someone has stolen the most important item, the symbol of the fair! Normally the fair’s Director could have solved the issue, but he is nowhere to be found … now the only hope left is you! Can you help recover the item before the fair is due to open? 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE The game master did an excellent job with the briefing, and his enthusiasm was contagious. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and looking after us. Escape Quest has crafted an original story that had us excited even before we entered the room. Although the plot doesn't have any twists or further developments, the fun factor remains high throughout. The game is divided into two distinct parts: the director's office, which is rather drab, and the Fair, which bursts with a vibrant carnival theme, complete with bright colors and game stalls. Many of the puzzles are themed around carnival games, alongside traditional escape room challenges like decoding, searching, and logic puzzles. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK Despite the game's strong thematic elements, it unfortunately falls short in fully masking the office-like environment. The immersion could have been significantly enhanced with higher quality props and set design. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? " The Fair " is probably Escape Quest's most enjoyable room, suitable for groups of all experience levels. While it doesn't feature many cooperative challenges, which might leave larger teams with less to do, we found it perfect for just the two of us. Playing as a duo allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience and enjoy every moment. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO There are parking spaces in front of the entrance, on the roof of the adjacent building, and around the building for visitors. There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and some drinks for purchase. There are some small puzzle boxes and other escape room adjacent items for sale too.

  • Escape Quest Luzern - "Magical Mastery"

    LOCATION: Luzern, Switzerland Photo above is property of Escape Quest Luzern Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Magical Mastery 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 10, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Fantasy 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 7.5/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-5 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : 98 - 170 CHF ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes [46:54] 📖 THE STORY Once upon a time, a competition was held between the bravest faculties in the world to determine who would control all of the magical world. The competition consisted of three complex stages; the dragon realm, the mysteries of the underwater world, and the endless labyrinth. The magical entity to complete all the challenges first would receive the goblet of bravery and be crowned the winner. However, the competition has long been forgotten. Can you complete the tasks and figure out who the ultimate winner was? 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE The variety of puzzles in this game is impressive and diverse. Each stage offers a unique set of challenges: the first stage features straight logic puzzles, the second focuses on observation-based tasks, and the third and final stage involves dexterity challenges. What makes the puzzles even more impressive is their nonlinear nature. Teams can choose to split up and tackle different puzzles simultaneously or stick together and work through them one by one. This flexibility adds an extra layer of strategy and teamwork to the experience. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK We were not fans of the decoration for this game, which consisted of only a few puzzle elements mounted to the walls and lots of paint. The interior was unfortunately too sparsely furnished and the overall vibe felt pretty cheap. For a magical-themed room it really lacked any kind of magical elements or vibe. We would have expected more tech-based puzzles or special effects to really provide some immersion. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? This is an appropriate room for people who place a higher emphasis on interesting puzzles than they do set design or story. The nonlinear format also makes the room good for teams of all sizes. Larger groups can easily split up to tackle the different puzzles. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO There are parking spaces in front of the entrance, on the roof of the adjacent building, and around the building for visitors. There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and some drinks for purchase. There are some small puzzle boxes and other escape room adjacent items for sale too.

  • Escape Quest Luzern - "Duel: Logic" and "Duel: Creativity"

    LOCATION: Luzern, Switzerland Photo above is property of Escape Quest Luzern Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Duel: Logic & Duel: Creativity 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 10, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Puzzles 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 5/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-7 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : 98 - 231 CHF ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes [28:39] and [27.38] 📖 THE STORY Both the " Duel: Logic " and " Duel: Creativity " quests are designed to be played by competing teams, to see who will be faster in completing the same number of (different) puzzles. Which side of the brain will be faster? Teams can also play them in an uncompetitive mode, as we did. 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE Although the rooms do not have any particular story driving them forward, they are at least theoretically designed and decorated. We especially liked the way the Creative room was put together; my wife would have loved the bright wallpaper in our house! The Creative room is colorful and whimsical, while the Logic room is quite plain and industrial by contrast. To keep the competition intense, each room features a giant brain that displays not only your progress but also that of your opponents. This thoughtful touch maintains high tension throughout, especially if teams are completing tasks at a similar pace. Each room offers an impressive set of puzzles that test you in different ways. The Logic room focuses on mathematical and logic-based tasks that challenge your deduction and observation skills. Meanwhile, the Creative room has you competing in dexterity and smell tasks, among other artistic challenges. The race element adds a unique twist compared to most escape rooms. What truly sets this experience apart is that the two rooms are entirely different, unlike the usual identical Duel rooms. This twist actually inspires you to want to play both rooms back-to-back to see which team can complete them the fastest. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with any of the rooms, they are both solid escape experiences. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? While you could argue that these are more puzzle rooms than traditional escape rooms, they still offer exciting experiences filled with creative puzzles that drive competition. Even though we didn't play in a competitive mode, we thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay and can recommend these rooms to teams of all experience levels. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned escape room enthusiast, you'll find plenty to appreciate in these thoughtfully designed challenges. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO There are parking spaces in front of the entrance, on the roof of the adjacent building, and around the building for visitors. There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and some drinks for purchase. There are some small puzzle boxes and other escape room adjacent items for sale too.

  • Realmz Escape Game - "The Mummy 2"

    LOCATION: Morley, WA, Australia Photo above is property of Realmz Escape Game Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : The Mummy 2 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 14, 2024 🎬 GENRE : Adventure 🧠 DIFFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 6/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-5 ppl 🕒 LENGTH OF TIME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : $45.00/ pp ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes 📖 THE STORY Ancient tales said that the great pharaoh of Egypt was trapped between worlds eternally and placed a curse on his tomb. Whoever brings back the honor to the pharaoh and helps his transcendence into his afterlife might gain tremendous wealth and power. However, nobody who entered his tomb ever came back safe and sane. One day, you received your great-great-grandfather’s diary, which contained the location of the pharaoh’s tomb and some clues. Can you solve the mystery in the tomb and come back safely? 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE The room's decor was beautiful and visually appealing. Although the room was not large, it made me feel like I was exploring an Egyptian tomb. I enjoyed all the puzzles. They looked like classic Egyptian theme puzzles but had a little twist. They were all fun to solve. My teammate and I agreed that we loved one of the gimmicks. The puzzles and gimmicks made us feel like we were in a classic adventure movie. Before we entered the room, we listened to the game's introductory story, which set the stage for our upcoming adventure. That was a great way to begin the game with excitement. There was a signal every time we solved the puzzles correctly. This signal enhanced our gameplay experience to clarify what to do while playing. The system allows both beginners and experienced players to enjoy the game comfortably. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK Although it is a minor thing, one of the puzzles required us to set the five knobs at specific positions and hold them in place. Since we were a team of two, it was a little stressful to keep the knobs in position while attempting to solve the puzzle. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? " The Mummy 2 " is an exciting escape room that allows you to explore an Egyptian tomb. The interior is visually appealing, and the puzzles are engaging without overly complicated. If you want an adventure movie-like experience, this Egyptian tomb is a perfect place to be with your friends and family! ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO Realmz Escape Game is located in a suburb of Perth and is accessible by car, Uber, or public transportation from the city center. There is parking available in front of the building.

  • GAME OVER Escape Rooms (Schöftland) - "Top Secret"

    LOCATION: Schöftland, Switzerland Photo above is property of GAME OVER Escape Rooms Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Top Secret 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 6, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Espionage 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 8/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-6 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : 92 - 180 CHF ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes [49:00] 📖 THE STORY As top level spies, your mission is to retrieve top secret missile blueprints from an enemy military compound. To achieve this daring task, you have intentionally allowed yourselves to be caught and imprisoned. Now, you must escape and break into their high security vault in order to retrieve the documents. Video above is property of GAME OVER Escape Rooms 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE Yes! A Game Over room which has plentiful props and decorations which exist outside of those connected to puzzles. The room design was not overly fancy, but it was functional and thematic, the impressive assortment of props helped raise the immersion to a higher level than in any of the other games at this location. In addition to the decor, the game also has a couple of cool special effects inside the safe which created a fun and daring atmosphere, making us feel like we were in a Mission Impossible movie. The game comes with an interesting assortment of puzzles which are all relatable to the military or spy theme. We particularly liked the dexterity moments, which coincidentally also encompassed a team based challenge. In addition to a high quality set design and impressive puzzles, Top Secret also pays attention to the storyline. We had to progress through each stage, escaping prison, collecting our weapons, cracking into the vault, and finally stealing the blueprints. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK There wasn’t too much by way of misses in this experience. I would have liked better room lighting, as I feel making rooms overly dark for atmospheric reasoning is not always a good idea. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? If you're looking to channel your inner spy for a day, this experience is perfect for you! This is the most challenging room at the GAME OVER location, but it's also the most rewarding. While I might hesitate to recommend it to beginners due to its difficulty, seasoned teams will definitely find it a thrilling challenge. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO There is ample free parking on site There is a lobby area with some seating and lockers Adjacent to the escape rooms is an American-themed diner, a cinema, a go-kart race track, which are all owned by the same person Photos above are property of GAME OVER Escape Rooms Check out our interview with the owner to learn more about GAME OVER + an exclusive tour of their headquarters in Athens, Greece: Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

  • GAME OVER Escape Rooms (Brandon) - "Top Secret"

    LOCATION: Brandon, Florida, USA Photo above is property of GAME OVER Escape Rooms Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Top Secret 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 2, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Espionage 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 6/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-6 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : $73.98 (2 ppl) - $221.94 (6 ppl) ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes 📖 THE STORY The sole method of entry into this paramilitary headquarters is to be apprehended and brought in as captives by the guards. This is your current situation. Your task now is to escape from the prison, infiltrate the High Security Armored Vault, and obtain the XJ7 missile blueprints along with all Top Secret Archives. Proceed with urgency. Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE Initially, there was an interesting method to "infiltrate" the headquarters. We appreciated the "trickiness" of the early puzzles, as solving them was quite satisfying. Even though a particular device had to be used several times in the game, it fit well with the room's theme. As spies, it felt essential to be able to crack codes and input them for "rewards". The puzzles and clues in this game were definitely linked to wartime. We were pleased to see such a variety of decoding strategies in a single game. Unfortunately, one of the devices was broken by the group before us, so we couldn't experience its functionality. The owner demonstrated it to us afterwards, and it certainly felt like something from many spy movies. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK We were unable to fully experience the ending due to a malfunctioning prop. However, if it had worked properly, the smoke and laser would likely have been an impressive special effect for the finale. The last room seemed somewhat empty compared to earlier parts of the game. It would be beneficial to add more puzzles to engage more players, as currently, only one puzzle can be solved by one person at a time. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? If you are into decoding secret codes, have a passion for history, and thrive on the excitement of spy missions, then this is undoubtedly the game for you. The experience immerses players in a thrilling environment where the art of espionage and the intricacies of cryptography come to life. We found ourselves fully engaged as we tackled various challenges that required us to think creatively and strategically. The thrill of gaining access to the headquarters and successfully infiltrating their computer system was exhilarating. However, we felt that if the game could conclude with a more robust and complex puzzle, it would elevate the entire mission to a level of perfection. Overall, this game is a fantastic blend of historical intrigue, intellectual challenge, and cooperative gameplay. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO Free parking outside the facility Lobby with seating area Merchandise for sale Lockers available Photos above are property of GAME OVER Escape Rooms Check out our interview with the owner to learn more about GAME OVER + an exclusive tour of their headquarters in Athens, Greece: Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

  • Entered - "Demise of the Gricers"

    LOCATION: As, Belgium Photo above is property of Entered 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Demise of the Gricers 📅 DATE PLAYED : January 21, 2025 🎬 GENRE : Horror 🧠 DIFFICULTY (Based on 4 ppl) : 2/10, PHYSICALITY (Based on 4 ppl) : 8/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 3-5 ppl 🕒 LENGTH OF TIME : 200 Mins. 💰 PRICE : Starting at €120/ pp ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes 📖 THE STORY This game doesn’t just start when you step inside—it begins the moment you sign up. Upon registering for this four-hour-long epic experience, an email arrives, immersing you in the world before you even arrive. The email details your mission and introduces the strange and devoted group known as the Gricers—an eccentric, train-worshiping cult determined to restore train travel as the dominant form of transportation. Locked away inside an abandoned train yard, the Gricers have turned their headquarters into a labyrinth of secrets, rituals, and mysteries. Your task? To infiltrate, explore, and uncover the truth about their grand vision. But you’re not alone. An informant embedded within the cult will be your guide, helping you navigate the chaos and uncover what truly lies beneath their fanatical devotion. This isn’t just an escape room—it’s an expansive, narrative-driven adventure that blends immersive theater, puzzle-solving, and exploration into one unforgettable experience. ⏳    THE EXPERIENCE This experience begins the moment you arrive at the designated meeting point. In the car park, you and your team will meet your informants and prepare to enter the world of the Gricers. This is a highly physical game, and each player will be outfitted with coveralls, knee pads, and helmets—essential gear for the intense challenges ahead. While the game is designed to push participants outside their comfort zones, accommodations can be made for players with mobility limitations through an in-story narrative. However, the creators encourage players to attempt all challenges before utilizing these accommodations. Most of the time, the game takes place at night, in near-total darkness. The lighting is carefully designed to enhance the experience without hindering gameplay. Some areas are deliberately dark, adding to the tension and immersive nature of the adventure. Players can choose between a 2-hour and a 4-hour version of the experience. The shorter version delivers a complete and cohesive narrative, but the full 4-hour game is where this experience truly shines. It transcends traditional escape rooms, blending action, adventure, puzzle-solving, and immersive storytelling into a cinematic, video game-like experience. The extended version allows for deeper exploration of the world, interaction with the environment, and experimentation with the game’s intricate mechanics. If you're unsure which version to choose—step outside your comfort zone and play the full 4-hour experience. 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE The main mechanic of this game delivers an incredible mix of joy, terror, and adrenaline—an experience so impactful that even after leaving, players can still hear the echoing numbers in their minds. Without revealing too much, this core element creates unforgettable tension, turning each moment into an emotional rollercoaster that wouldn’t be the same without it. The storytelling is just as powerful as the gameplay itself. This is a game that rewards full immersion—players who allow themselves to be swept up in the world will find themselves in a constantly evolving adventure. One moment, it’s a puzzle-solving experience; the next, it’s an obstacle course, an action sequence, or a theatrical performance. The seamless transitions between these elements keep players on their toes, making every twist and turn feel natural and unexpected. The emotional depth of the experience is undeniable. The passion and creativity of the game’s creators shine through every detail, making it more than just a game—it’s a story that players get to live. Some moments are so well-executed that they evoke genuine emotions, even bringing players to tears. The acting and improvisation are next-level. The performers don’t just deliver scripted lines—they react to players in real time, shaping the narrative based on the group’s choices. In a game packed with high-energy chases, strategy, and fast-paced action, it can be difficult to retain every detail of the unfolding story. The actors masterfully weave in moments where players can pause, breathe, and absorb the narrative before diving back in. These personalized interactions create a dynamic experience that feels uniquely tailored to each group. The moment the game ends, the first thought is: “Can we play it again and see what happens if we make different choices?” There is no wrong way to play this game. Every decision leads to new possibilities, making replayability one of its greatest strengths. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK A lot of criticism surrounding this game has focused on its intense physicality, with some claiming that it borders on being dangerous. However, at no point did our group feel unsafe. While the game does require a high level of movement and exertion, the physicality is an intentional part of the experience. Proper preparation makes a huge difference. If players dress appropriately for the environment—wearing weather-appropriate clothing and gear suited for running outside in a train yard—the challenges become much more manageable. The game’s design encourages stepping outside your comfort zone, but it never forces players into anything beyond their limits. For those concerned about the physical demands, the game does offer in-story accommodations when necessary. However, players should expect to push themselves and embrace the adventure. The movement isn’t just an added challenge—it’s integral to the immersion, making every moment feel more real and engaging. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? " Demise of the Gricers " is a four-hour-long experience that felt like it passed in just 30 minutes. Time has never flown by so quickly for me and my group. The game's ability to unfold organically, driven by our choices and actions, made every moment feel engaging and immersive. We never quite knew where the story would lead, but that uncertainty only heightened the excitement. What truly stood out was how well the game catered to different playstyles. Players who enjoyed intellectual challenges had plenty of intricate puzzles to solve, while those who preferred a more physical approach could take on action-oriented mechanics. This balance ensured that every type of player felt included and had a meaningful role in the experience. The team at Entered also did an exceptional job of accommodating players when things became too intense. They found ways to adapt the experience to each individual's capabilities while still encouraging them to push beyond their comfort zones in a safe and controlled manner. One of our teammates, who initially had doubts about their ability to complete the game, was thrilled to find themselves fully engaged, breaking the experience into digestible segments, and ultimately succeeding in ways they hadn’t expected. For anyone who has ever wanted to step into the world of an action-packed video game, this is your chance. I highly recommend playing at night for the most immersive atmosphere—it adds a layer of tension and excitement that simply can't be replicated. There is truly nothing else like this that I have played before. As an American visiting mainland Europe, I can only hope that something of this caliber makes its way stateside. But honestly, I might just have to book another plane ticket just to play this again. And let’s be real—not just once, but probably multiple times. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO Safety Gear Provided – Helmets, knee pads, coveralls, and other necessary protective equipment will be supplied. However, wear old clothes and sturdy shoes—you will be crawling, climbing, and getting dirty. Read All Emails & Waivers Carefully – The emails and waivers contain crucial details about what to expect and how to prepare. Do not skim over them! Arrival Instructions – There is a recommended parking lot for all players, whether you're driving or not. Upon arrival, stay in your car until the game begins—you will know when it's time to start. No Running Water on Site – When we played, there were no available bathrooms due to ongoing work on the facilities. While they may fix this in the future, assume there are no restrooms and plan accordingly.

  • Thames & Kosmos - "Masters of Crime: Shadows"

    Photo above is property of Thames & Kosmos Company: Thames & Kosmos Game: Masters of Crime: Shadows Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Tabletop Games 📬 Genre: Mystery, Heist Date Played: December 24, 2024 Difficulty (based on 2 player): 5/10 Size of Team: 1+ Players (Ages 16+) Time: Approximately 10-15 Mins/ per day (for 24 days) Price: $15.38 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 You’re no ordinary thief. You’ve been hired for the ultimate high-stakes job: stealing a painting from the prestigious Bachmann Gallery. But before you can snag the goods, there’s a whole lot of prep work to do. From assembling a crack team to scouting the gallery and crafting a foolproof plan, every choice you make could be the difference between getting away with the loot or ending up in the slammer. And when the big day comes, the real question is: were you ready? The thrill of executing your plan and seeing your decisions play out makes this game different from your typical tabletop puzzle game. You’ll feel the rush (and pressure) of pulling off that perfect heist! Video above is property of Thames & Kosmos 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ Visually, " Masters of Crime: Shadows " leans minimalist, but it works for the tone of the game. The illustrations are few but effective, capturing the vibe of a sleek, modern heist. The materials are dominated by a deck of cards (covering locations, characters, and story/puzzle elements) and 12 envelopes containing images, clues, and other vital info. You’ll also get a notes page to track things like your timeline and a paper playmat to keep the chaos organized. The playmat isn’t strictly essential, especially if you’re short on table space, but it’s a nice touch to help you find things. While the game may not leave a visual imprint in the way some highly stylized games do, the clean design and sharp organization allow the story and puzzles to shine. It’s a form-follows-function approach, and it works. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 Where " Masters of Crime: Shadows " truly excels is in making you feel like your decisions matter. The game unfolds in two acts: first, the planning phase, where you decide how to prepare for the heist. This is where most of the action takes place, as you’ll weigh options, debate strategies, and try to cover all your bases. The second act is the heist itself, where your earlier choices play out and determine your success. While the heist section is shorter, it’s deeply satisfying to see how your preparation pays off…or doesn’t. The game blends storytelling, paper puzzles, and online elements, requiring an internet connection to play. The online components feel realistic, heightening the tension and pulling you deeper into the world. Be ready for a fair bit of reading - it’s a storytelling game, after all - but it never feels overwhelming. Instead, it adds depth to your decisions, and it sparked plenty of lively discussions between Dave and I over how best to pull off our daring plan. Photo above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles themselves are on the easier side, making this a great entry point for non-puzzlers, and the quick solves keep the pace moving. Despite their simplicity, the puzzles are polished and well-integrated into the story, never feeling like afterthoughts. Both the paper-based and online elements are thoughtfully designed, enhancing the narrative while keeping you engaged. We especially loved how everything tied back to the heist theme, making each solve feel purposeful and connected to your mission. The puzzles are not the star of this show, but they play their part solidly, complementing the story and heightening the sense of being actively involved in your heist. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 If you’re craving something different, " Masters of Crime: Shadows " delivers. It’s the first of the Masters of Crime series that we’ve tried, and the concept feels fresh! A heist may be a common theme, but the freedom to plan and shape it yourself is unusual, intriguing, and lots of fun. The story is engaging, and the game is well-constructed, providing plenty of value (and hours of play) for its price point. The 16+ age rating felt a bit high to us. While you do play criminals and there are some more adult concepts, we’d feel comfortable with players 12+, as the feeling is more lighthearted rather than gory or gritty. While we’ve pulled off plenty of heists in in-person escape rooms, we’ve found that tabletop games more often have you as the detective solving the crime. Shadows not only puts you on the dark side of the law, it has you overseeing every aspect of the heist from the ground up. It’s a novel and immersive approach that made us feel fully invested in the gameplay. Whether you’re a puzzle enthusiast or a storytelling fan, this is a game worth your time—especially if you’ve ever dreamed of being the mastermind behind the perfect crime.

  • Thames & Kosmos - "Exit The Game: Advent Calendar - The Missing Hollywood Star"

    Photo above is property of Thames & Kosmos Company: Thames & Kosmos Game: Exit The Game: Advent Calendar - The Missing Hollywood Star Country: USA 🇺🇸 Language: English Type of Game: Tabletop Games 📬 Genre: Mystery Date Played: December 24, 2024 Difficulty (based on 2 player): 5/10 Size of Team: 1+ Players (Ages 10+) Time: Approximately 10-15 Mins/ per day (for 24 days) Price: $49.95 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 You’re an actor-in-the-making—well, at least in your dreams. In reality, you’re paying the bills delivering pizzas. When a delivery takes you to a sprawling Hollywood set, it’s a pinch-me moment. The sheer excitement of brushing shoulders with movie magic quickly turns into mystery, though. The set is eerily deserted, darkness envelops the soundstages, and then… a voice echoes from overhead. Someone—or something—needs your help to find a missing Hollywood star. And just like that, your average pizza run turns into an adventure worthy of the big screen. Photo above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ The box, both the interiors of each compartment and the outer sections, features bold art that captures the essence of Hollywood. There are nods to plenty of nostalgic classics that had us smiling, but it’s no problem if you don’t know the films (it’s not required for gameplay, just adds extra charm and feels)! There were definitely some Dave recognized that I didn’t know, with enough variety to appeal to multiple generations. What stands out is just how much there is to take in. Every corner of the design feels intentional, and the layers of detail invite your imagination to wander. Some of the visual elements become vital to solving puzzles later on, while others simply enrich the world-building, leaving you wondering what role they might play. It’s the kind of attention to detail that makes the whole experience feel cinematic. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 The structure of the game will feel familiar to anyone who’s dived into an Exit advent calendar before. You’re working through 24 puzzles spread across 25 compartments, accompanied by a storybook, a hint book, and tools like a decoder, puzzle cards, and a few surprise objects. You start by reading the day’s story, then opening the day’s compartment. The goal is simple: each day’s puzzle gives you a three-digit code that you enter into the decoder to lead you to a new compartment. If the symbols on the decoder match that compartment, you’ve got it! We found that the game play to all run quite smoothly. The game pieces all stayed nicely in their compartments. (At least until we used them…we did find that it was best to paperclip some smaller “special objects” together or onto cards to keep them in their respective compartments after we’d finished that day; otherwise, some of those began to wander.) The decoding system also works very cleanly. Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles in this box are rated for beginners, but that doesn’t mean they’re boring! Far from it. There’s a delightful range of challenges, from classic paper-based puzzles to moments that engage multiple senses. We especially loved when the special objects came into play—those moments felt like little rewards tucked into the experience. The game keeps you on your toes, blending observation, logic, and close inspection into a varied and satisfying mix. A magnifying glass and flashlight are handy to have on hand, especially for detail-heavy sections. The visual components range in size from tiny to…much larger! And there’s a certain magic in the way realizations hit: when something that’s been staring at you for days suddenly clicks, it’s a fabulous a-ha! Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 Unlike some of Exit’s other advent calendars, this story is not as heavily Christmas-themed - it is also a nostalgic stroll through many classic Hollywood movies. That’s not a knock against it—it only serves to make this adventure more flexible, playable any time of year - and by a wide age range! We tackled it as a duo and found it the perfect size for two players, though a small family could easily enjoy it too; they’d just need to be prepared to pass the box around more to see into the small compartments. The puzzles are approachable for older kids, making it a fun family activity. While the story didn’t grip us as tightly as some other Exit advents, we adored the Hollywood theme and the many nods to iconic films. The sheer creativity and variety packed into this box are incredible. These Exit advent calendars have become an annual tradition for us, and we can’t wait to see what they dream up next year!

  • GAME OVER Escape Rooms (Brandon) - "Horror Circus"

    LOCATION: Brandon, Florida, USA Photo above is property of GAME OVER Escape Rooms Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Horror Circus 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 2, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Horror 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 6.5/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-10 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : $73.98 (2 ppl) - $369.90 (10 ppl) ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes 📖 THE STORY Our story follows you, a group of children interested in circus performances. Last night, a peer was kidnapped. While searching for clues, you found a ticket from an unknown circus, "Wanderlust Circus, 1940." You decided to find your friend there, but once inside, you realized you're trapped in a cursed circus. Shadows and dark figures creep between the red and white stripes. You must quickly find a way out before the clown returns. Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE This room featured some challenging multi-step puzzles that we thoroughly enjoyed solving by piecing together the clues. Some clever props were employed to test your observation and memory, prompting you to recall where you had seen them before and where you might use them. Brandon always prefers physical puzzles over logical ones, and this game certainly included plenty of those. Jump scares were frequent, but the timing was particularly effective on a few occasions. It was tough to catch us since we were just two players, but with more participants, someone would likely be "caught" by the clown. The decor truly captured the essence of a circus. We even got to engage in various "acts" or "games" typical of a circus experience. Sound effects significantly boosted the scare factor throughout the game. Although some puzzles would have been easier with more than two players, the game also provided props that allowed us to complete puzzles typically requiring a larger group. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK The brightness in the second room diminished the game's frightening aspect. We hope the lighting could remains eerie throughout the set design. Some jump scare props were placed too obviously in certain spots. It would be great if those could be concealed more. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? Although the game is not as scary as " Haunted Mansion ", you'll still get a good amount of jump scares out of it, which, while not as intense as those found in more traditional horror settings, are executed with precision to elicit genuine reactions from unsuspecting participants. There are no live actors in the game. However, this absence is more than compensated for by the eerie ambiance and the unsettling design of the environment. You'll definitely feel those creepy clown eyes lurking in the dark, watching your every move. If you enjoy circus and carnival games, this would be really fun for you and your team. The game incorporates elements reminiscent of classic fairground attractions, but with a sinister twist that adds a layer of thrill. Will you be able to come out alive before the evil clown gets back? The clock is ticking, and with each passing moment, the sense of urgency intensifies. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO Free parking outside the facility Lobby with seating area Merchandise for sale Lockers available Photos above are property of GAME OVER Escape Rooms Check out our interview with the owner to learn more about GAME OVER + an exclusive tour of their headquarters in Athens, Greece: Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

  • Mission: Escape - "Murder on the Orient Express"

    LOCATION: Dietikon, Switzerland Photo above is property of Mission: Escape Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Murder on the Orient Express 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 21, 2024 🎬 GENRE : Murder Mystery 🧠 DIFFICULTY (Based on 4 ppl) : 7/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-6 ppl 🕒 LENGTH OF TIME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : 100-195 CHF ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes (41:46) 📖 THE STORY A murderer is loose on this train... One of the passengers has been missing since yesterday! The renowned detective, Mr. Hercule Poirot, instructs the conductor and the police officer to assemble all the passengers in the main dining car. However, just as the doors are about to be locked, you receive a discreet message from Poirot: "Stay out of the dining car with the others. If my instincts are correct, the murderer is among them, but the evidence of their guilt is still hidden. I’ve left you a letter detailing everything I know so far. I’ll stall for time by interrogating everyone for an hour. Use this chance to uncover the truth and find the proof! Good luck!" Video above is property of Mission: Escape 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE Immersive Introduction : The game begins with a short, well-acted video that provides a concise yet thematic introduction. Displayed on an interactive screen that also serves as the clue system and timer, the video strikes a perfect balance—it’s detailed enough to set the tone but brief enough to keep things moving. Seamless Clue System : True to Game Over's signature style, the clue system is quick and intuitive. There’s no frustrating wait for a GM to notice you need help; a simple tap on the screen delivers ready-made hints tailored to your progress. The game’s tracking system ensures the clues are always relevant. If you still need assistance, the option to call the GM remains available. Authentic Setting : The game’s design captures the essence of an old train carriage. You’ll explore a range of thematic spaces, including a passenger’s quarters, the dining car, a crew cabin, and the luggage room. These areas are used dynamically throughout the game, encouraging frequent movement and exploration. High-Quality Decor : The attention to detail is impressive. From authentic props like bottles and passenger belongings to dynamic TV displays simulating a moving train, the environment immerses players fully. This is one of Game Over's most atmospheric experiences. Engaging Game Flow : The open design ensures you revisit spaces multiple times, keeping the puzzles spread out and interconnected. For instance, solving a puzzle in the dining car might require information found in another room. This interconnected gameplay emphasizes communication and teamwork, key elements of a great escape room. Diverse and Challenging Puzzles : As expected from a murder mystery, deduction plays a significant role, but the game also incorporates a variety of other mechanics, such as analyzing music, searching for clues, and process-of-elimination challenges. The puzzles offer varying levels of difficulty, ensuring that even seasoned players encounter a challenge. Accessibility Considerations: Thoughtful design ensures accessibility. While some areas require crawling, these spaces always have an alternative entry point, allowing all team members to participate comfortably. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK Lacking Special Effects : Although the setting is immersive, the addition of subtle effects—like a vibrating floor to simulate train movement—could have elevated the experience even further. Missed Outro Opportunity : The game’s conclusion feels abrupt, marked by a loud buzzer. An outro video would provide a more satisfying resolution, perhaps showing the murderer confessing or being taken away by the police. This added touch would give players a stronger sense of narrative closure. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? This is undoubtedly a standout experience and arguably the best escape room at this location. It’s accessible for players of all skill levels, though the theme may be less captivating for younger audiences. If you’re a fan of immersive environments, dynamic gameplay, and a touch of mystery, " Murder on the Orient Express " is well worth the time. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO There is one free parking spot available on site. In the immediate surroundings there are multiple other parking options, which need to be paid for. There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and a small selection of cold drinks for purchase This game is wheelchair accessible Photos above are property of Mission: Escape (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)

  • Legends Escape Rooms - "Revenge of Anubis"

    LOCATION: Brandon, Florida, USA Photo above is property of Legends Escape Rooms Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝   ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Revenge of Anubis 📅 DATE PLAYED : December 1, 2024 🎬 GENRE: Adventure, Egypt 🧠 DI FFICULTY (Based on 2 ppl) : 6/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-6 ppl 🕒 LENGT H OF T IME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : $36.99/ pp (2 ppl) ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes 📖 THE STORY Explore the Valley of the Kings, where ancient mysteries await your discovery. Decipher hieroglyphics to uncover Egyptian culture and beliefs, possibly leading to a mystical artifact linked to a pharaoh. Time is critical in this maze of chambers; deeper exploration presents challenges. Discover the artifact or risk entrapment. Will you unlock the Valley's secrets or become a lost whisper in time? Video above is property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE Unlike some other Egyptian-themed rooms we've experienced, this one didn't overwhelm us with excessive storytelling. We received a diary that succinctly provided clues on which puzzles to address and where to direct our attention. We appreciated the various "chambers" we explored, considering the room's space constraints. The final room was particularly impressive, featuring a prop reminiscent of one found in a Disney attraction. The room offered a good mix of straightforward puzzles requiring observation and others that demanded more logical thinking. The props and set design were all pertinent to the game's theme. Everything, even the smallest clue piece, felt like it belonged. A bell rang every time something opened, ensuring we didn't miss any developments, even if we were in another room. We enjoyed the sound effects and voices that provided context about the characters in the tomb and offered a satisfying conclusion to the game. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK Initially, there was a puzzle that required players to connect a map with some unconventional thinking for its use. We recommend including a hint in the diary to guide the thought process and avoid guessing how it works. Later, there was a puzzle with floor markings that could be interpreted in various ways. It confused us as we were uncertain about what to look for. The final puzzle might benefit experienced players who have encountered it before, but it's unclear how new players will know what to seek. We suggest adding a voice hint or clue somewhere. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? Egyptian rooms always exude an enchanting aura of mystery! With an incredible set design, we were instantly drawn into the storyline and transformed into daring explorers. Since a good amount of puzzles have been removed from the original design of the room, this adventure is now fitting for players of all skill levels. Remarkably designed in 2017, it remains in excellent condition, boasting technology that's truly ahead of its time. Are you ready for your adventure? ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO Free parking outside the facility Lobby with seating area Merchandise for sale Lockers available Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers (If you do decide to try this game, give us a shoutout or tag us on social media so we know you heard it from " ESCAPETHEROOMers "!)
