Escape Your Mindgame Room - Dark Room


I was so excited by the name and idea behind this room, and parts of this room were exactly what I expected. Other parts were a little more difficult. Definitely read the description well before you opt-in - I love this type of room, but have several friends who'd not have been keen to stay in.

Price:$$$30 per person

Theme:★★★I love the idea behind this room, and the starting point and decor are perfect to go with it.

Quality:★★Things were pretty good, but it was easy to do something wrong and I'm not sure how well certain elements will hold up.

Difficulty:★★★★The room itself (read the name...) greatly contributes to the difficulty rating I'm giving. The puzzles themselves aren't too bad, but the environment complicates them.

Fun:★★★A good time, but having a more interactive game master would have improved the experience.

With:2 peopleEvan, Judy

Outcome:Win

South Beach Room Escape - Black Ops

We had a neat experience in this room immediately following Panic Room. The story is a fun one, and there are some props that are just fun to play with (and others you really want to play with but really cannot). I loved how I had to interact with different things in the room, and appreciated how hubby and I could split up and work on different things with just the two of us in the room together.

Price:$$$25 per person

Theme:★★★Most everything makes a lot of sense, but there are a few wacky things that I'm not sure why they are where they are. The beginning part is spot of and ideal for setting you off in the right direction, if we'd paid better attention.

Quality:★★★There were a couple of touchy things for us, but overall this is in good shape and the employees really care about how you experience the room from start to finish.

Difficulty:★★★A little harder than their first room, and mainly because we are terrible at the obvious. I mean terrible. We spent the first ten minutes getting nothing done, and then things got better from there after taking a clue.

Fun:★★★Neat room and a good experience - liked Panic Room better, but had a good time here as well.

South Beach Room Escape - Panic Room

So, this trip brought to you by unused miles tickets brought us to a very unplanned trip with lots of free time to do whatever we wanted. Starting with booking an escape room (of course...by that we mean more than one). This one was up first, within walking distance of our hotel, and we loved our first room there. It was fun to interact with our game master, to go through as a team, and play this room. The story was fun, the room was great with the theme, and this was a positive experience (we immediately booked another room here).

Price:$$$25 per person

Theme:★★★★This room is just creepy, and how you interact with the room can really add to that depending on how fortunate you are on where you happen to be standing at different points. Good use of space available.

Quality:★★★This worked well, and we found all of the locks and puzzles in good order.

Difficulty:★★We really did rush a bit through here, and one of two things we might have made educated guesses on rather than successfully solving.

Fun:★★★★We had a good time - some adrenaline filled moments where we weren't sure if things were supposed to happen or we messed up, but still quite fun.
