Escapers: Tomb of the Dragon

Warsaw, Mar 2017

Poland has a very established directory / rating site for escape rooms, and (at time of writing) Tomb of the Dragon holds the coveted number one spot in their list. For that reason we made the journey out to play it, even though it’s quite a long way… (more)

Black Cat Escape Rooms: Bunkier (Bunker)

Warsaw, Mar 2017

An avalanche has unearthed the entrance to a lost Nazi bunker that may contain hidden gold, and for reasons I never quite grasped you have a one hour time limit to find it and get out.

Appropriately, this begins with you needing to break into the ac… (more)

Black Cat Escape Rooms: Dom Mordercy (Murder House)

Warsaw, Mar 2017

This is not a game for the squeamish. Content warning: expect graphic imagery of nudity and mutilation.

Horror themed rooms are often gratuitously low-lit. This one hits a good balance, dingy enough to be atmospheric but with enough visibility to se… (more)

Brain Game CPH: The Last Passenger

Copenhagen, Jan 2017

A linear, lightly themed game with plenty of padlocks, this room tries to incorporate some more creative touches but does so in an incoherent way that made it a frustrating game to play.

The theme is loosely based on Murder on the Orient Express, an… (more)

TimeQuest: The Bank

Copenhagen, Nov 2016

TimeQuest are in a great central location with a nice waiting area inside. Staff were very professional and attentive. There are several rooms to choose from, we played The Bank with five players (the maximum).

The aim of game is to steal the world’… (more)

PANiQ-ROOM: Darkroom

Budapest, Aug 2014

This was the first large team (more than 5 players) room we did. I remember it as rather chaotic, and some of that must have been because of the larger number of people. But it also seemed more amateurish and less polished than the Claustrophilia and… (more)

Cross Roads Escape Games: The Fun House

California, Jan 2017

2nd on my mini tour of Los Angeles area Escape Rooms was The Fun House at Cross Roads Escape Rooms. This room is based in the Anaheim area, not that far from Disneyland. Quite apt, given the Fun House pokes a sarcastic stick at the Circus/Magic/Fanta… (more)

Cross Roads Escape Games: The Hex Room

California, Jan 2017

Having just completed the venue’s original and superb Fun House room, and enjoying it immensely, we were offered a bit of a discount to run straight into the Hex room. The Hex room is pitched as a Horror/Thriller experience. There’s some basic theme … (more)

Indizio: Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Cologne, Nov 2016

Centrally located, just a stone throw from Cologne’s cathedral is Indizio-Koln. We were lucky enough to have the escape room thrown into our air bnb stay, as it was located in the apartment above.

The place itself has an Indiana Jones temple vibe, i… (more)

Xitroom: Crack the Safe

Amsterdam, Aug 2016

The room starts in the dark with a hunt for the lightswitch – which I feel didn’t really add much to the game itself. However, we had that done after a minute or so, and could get stuck into the puzzles.

The puzzles were varied – and had very few lo… (more)
