Improbable Escapes: Seven Dwarfs: Mining Mission

Pretty standard format for remote escape. They have a good inventory/image system that lets you see things close-up without having to direct the camera back and forth. Nice GM but not in-character.  This was probably our shortest escape experience, 2 people and done in less than 45 min. Overall, I'd probably prefer to do this one IRL but recommended for a remote escape. 

One of the best games and companies out there as of May 2020.  Smooth tech, enjoyable GMs, and a room with no annoying flaws.

We loved Mining Mission! Our host Sam was wonderful, and the set design was beautiful, with a cartoony vibe that didn't skimp on detail. We really liked how every room had a different feel, not just in decor but in the types of puzzles presented; it gave a great feeling of progression that made the game for us. The online components worked really well - super simple references so we could always see what we needed to see, without getting cluttered or requiring too much clicking around. This game's super cute from start to finish, and we loved the ending

We loved this game! Our host was able to give us just a few extra minutes so we could finish. I do think that online might need a bit more time than in person games because it's harder to divide and conquer than in real life. Anyway, the room was so fun! Great sets and fun games that weren't overly complicated, but not too simple either. Everything made logical sense, which is always my escape pet peeve. The host was so friendly and I think that really makes or breaks the game in this format. Lastly, the way the company set up their use of a second computer with detailed information on puzzles to accompany the game was genius and really made for a more complete experience. I highly recommend this game. 

Great puzzles and tech, well hosted through zoom. Recommended!

Pretty game, fun GM, good puzzles and an all-round great experience. The one downside is that a couple of the puzzles have a physical element that you can't fully enjoy remotely.

Plenty of content to keep you engaged, a decent inventory system to allow everyone on the team to get involved and the cartoonish set lends itself particularly well to remote play.

Definitely one to recommend, especially for families where there's something for everyone.

A very similar level experience to their other fun game, Neverland, but this one just takes the edge for me.

Probably my favorite of the remote games that I've played.  Really cool set, and some inventive puzzles.  I really liked that the GM started in every room with a bit of a tour--it saved time, and kept things moving along very well.

The set design is outstanding, and it's a very cute, family-friendly theme. There's a good number and variety of puzzles. Our avatar was generally good, but does not play any kind of character (a dwarf would be so fun!) which does pull a little from the immersion. There was also one puzzle that we were stuck on for a bit due to missing something that seems like it would be obvious in person, and the avatar might have facilitated that. The inventory system worked smoothly. Improbable Escapes is close enough that we might be able to make it there in person someday, and I can imagine their rooms could be even better IRL. However, if you're unlikely to make it there yourself, the room is definitely worth playing remotely!

Very fun game with a beautiful set! It's fairly well adapted to remote, though a few tactile puzzles left in made me especially wish I had played the game in person.

Really nice set with some good technology. Fun, family friendly one.

Nice set with a lot of easy to medium puzzles to keep the momentum rolling. Good mix of traditional lock, mechanism and physical tasks.

A super adorable room, which I would have loved to play IRL, with big chunky physical puzzles and a cute theme. The remote implementation has great remote reference photos so players can solve in parallel if desired, and excellent remote GMing.
