When 60 to Escape opens a new room, I always find out in the weirdest ways. They rarely advertise ahead of time that a new room is coming, and they quietly release new rooms to roll them out slowly. Because of this, my process for finding out about a new game is by crossing my fingers and checking out the booking page for all three of their locations, then doing a triple take when I see a new icon among the mix.
The first night of a cruise is generally a quiet one, with a welcome party and little else. Our recent trip aboard the Norwegian Getaway through a little surprise at us – the ship’s escape room game, Bamboozled, was scheduled for the first night!
This week marked a very cool occurrence – City Limits Escape Rooms had a grand opening event in Volo, IL. Tours, snacks, giveaways, and a ribbon cutting… It was a special event in many ways, but escape room enthusiasts have some particularly special reasons to be excited. What are those reasons?
The difficulty of an escape room is a tough concept to nail. I had the pleasure this week to visit Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta and encounter an enthusiast’s dream- very difficult, but completely fair, rooms! It was truly a great experience for puzzle lovers.
I recently had the opportunity to try out a new form of escape room- the AI Escape game at Immersive Gamebox. The setup is one of the most intriguing I’ve tried- a dynamic cube-shaped room where interactive touch-sensitive images are projected on all the walls. After giving it a shot, there’s one big question: is this the future of escape rooms?
I’m going to start off my post on CU Adventures in Time and Space with a bet – Forest of Fables will be in the TERPECA top 20 this year. I’m confident enough in this that I’d put money on it, so if you want to take me up on it, send me a note and we’ll check in next year.
60 to Escape has been a staple of top end Chicagoland escape rooms for some time, but their latest venture is quite the surprise- miniature golf! I had a chance to play through it this weekend, and the intriguing concept pays off, assuming you like miniature golf.
On my recent trip to Florida, I got to play one of the newest TERPECA finalist escape rooms – Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin’ Plotz at Doldrick’s Escape. The room is remarkable in many ways – the old timey cartoon aesthetic is unique among escape rooms, and the game hits all the right marks with aesthetic and puzzle variety. The most unique thing to me, though, and something that may go unnoticed among many escape room enthusiasts, is the level of craft invested to make an escape room that will delight players of all skill levels.
An escape room at the Museum of Science and Industry- I never thought I’d return to that museum under those circumstances. The new James Bond exhibit afforded me this unusual and exciting opportunity.
I completed my 600th escape room. At the time, I didn’t know it was my 600th escape room. C’est la vie!
