Escape Portal: Shadow Zen

Bangkok, Jul 2026

Rated between 4.5 and 5 out of 5
I’d heard of this game before playing it, but not here; the original version is in Osaka, and this is apparently an official and faithful reproduction of that one. Escape Portal’s website states that they will be opening other such licensed copies of… (more)

Turtle Rush: Casino Heist

Mauritius, Mar 2026

Rated between 1.5 and 2 out of 5
There are almost no escape rooms available to play on Mauritius; currently it sees to be just Turtle Rush in the north, and a company called Dodo Quest that may still run games for the public inside one of the resorts on the southern coast. Getting t… (more)

Logiccastle: 007 – Channel Inferno

Larnaca, Feb 2026

Rated 4.5 out of 5
Having played and loved Logiccastle’s newest and longest room, we went back a week later to play their second-newest and second-longest room. This one has a spy story where you’re infiltrating the control centre for an orbital weapon that you need to… (more)

Occultus Room Escape: Gotham

Porto, Nov 2025

Rated 4 out of 5
Occultus has grown since our previous visit back in 2017 – they now have a second building across the street, and a total of eight different rooms. Their Batman theme is their latest, which was reason enough for us to choose it; our mission was to fi… (more)

Enigma Rooms: Pequeña Gran Aventura

Mexico City, Jul 2025

Rated between 1.5 and 2 out of 5
Some countries have an established reputation for quality escape rooms; elsewhere it’s a lot more hit and miss, but Mexico City has quite a few companies, and it seemed plausible there could be some hidden gems to discover. And maybe there are – but … (more)

The Key: The Dragon’s Rescue

Quito, Jun 2025

Rated 2.5 out of 5
After a great many companies in South America that offered games in Spanish only, or where the English language option was provided very imperfectly, it was a refreshing change to find that The Key has full support for running their rooms in English…. (more)

Escape Room Colombia: Piratas

Bogotá, Jun 2025

Rated between 2.5 and 3 out of 5
The first challenge when playing an escape room in Bogotá is that, at least at time of writing, none of them seem to be available in English. The second challenge was that the booking engine for the venue nearest us didn’t accept my overseas address,… (more)

Boxaroo: The Storyteller’s Secret

Boston, Jun 2025

Rated 4.5 out of 5
We only had a chance to play one game in Boston, and it was an easy choice; The Storyteller’s Secret had been on my radar for some time due to its multiple TERPECA wins. The premise is that you’re entering the cabin of a famous writer in order to dis… (more)

Escaparium: The Forgotten Cathedral

Montreal, May 2025

Rated 5 out of 5
The thing about playing several Escaparium rooms in quick succession is that your standards adjust, and you come to take for granted the grand scale and extravagant effects that at any other time would leave your mouth agape. But then again, Forgotte… (more)

Escaparium: Wardrobe for Sale

Montreal, May 2025

Rated 5 out of 5
Along with the various TERPECAs this room has won, it also deserves to win something for most original game description. Instead of any story, Escaparium’s website gives you an EBay-style advert – for a secondhand wardrobe, of course. If the mention … (more)
