After a bit of a hiatus where we focused on designing custom rooms for corporate clients, The Escape Room Guys are back to playing rooms and solving puzzles! We were contacted by the good folks at Sherlocked in Amsterdam about a promotion they are running over the next six weeks (Nov. 24 thru Dec. 29) where they will be releasing puzzles to promote their new room, The Alchemist. Here’s a sneak peek of the 3D rendering of the room. Now, we LOVE a good puzzle hunt and decided to play along, especially when there are prizes involved! Each week on Thursday, the puzzle will be released on their Instagram. Players who solve the puzzle must input the correct solution on Sherlocked’s contest page (you must also sign up here to take part in the contest). After the 6 weeks are up, a final puzzle will be released and one player will win the grand prize, which is a VIP ticket to play The Alchemist, which includes a rare behind-the-scenes tour of Sherlocked’s process, AND a two-night stay at the Zoku hotel in Amsterdam. Are you going to join us in playing? Comment below or on our social media channels, and follow us each week as we discuss the puzzles that are released!. Here is a snapshot of the warm up puzzle, just to get you moving! WAS IT A-MAZE-ING? READ ON! – ROOM: THE MAZE: CURSE OF THE DRAGON– AUGUST 7, 2022 August 9, 2022January 3, 2023 ~ Jason FacebookTwitterCopy LinkRedditLinkedInDiggTumblrPinterestShare ESCAPE ROOM REVIEW – THE QUICK AND DIRTY Play if… like being outside, enjoy mazes, or fantasy is your bag. Avoid if… you dislike nature or mosquitos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BASICS Escape Woods: Address: 628 Sleepy Hollow Road Powder Springs GA 30127 (click address for Google Map) Contact and Website: 770-880-8846 https://www.escapewoods.com/our-escapes The Room – The Maze: Curse of the Dragon: Description (from the company website): In this adventure you and your group need navigate a magical forest maze to break the evil curse that was put on the woods by a dark wizard. Ages ago 5 elders met at Elders Rock and swore an oath to protect forest kingdom, the Mother Dragon, and her eggs. The 5 elders founded the 5 Great Houses of the kingdom, which still live on. For a long time there was peace an prosperity. However, that all changed when an outsider from a far away land, later to be revealed as a dark wizard, stole the Mother Dragon’s 3 eggs from Dragon’s Keep and enchanted the Mother Dragon with an evil curse. Now the dark wizard uses his enchanted dragon for evil purposes. To save the kingdom you need to find the 3 dragon eggs to break the curse put on the Mother Dragon. The eggs have been hidden and locked up throughout the kingdom. To find the dragon eggs you and your team will have 1 hour to navigate a giant 80 foot x 40 foot maze built in the woods, crack codes, unlock doors, and escape before time runs out. Along the way you will visit important locations such as Dragon’s Keep, Elders Rock, Devil’s Mouth Cave, and the Enchanted Forest. Are you up for the challenge? Difficulty (1-10): Medium Time Limit: 60 minutes Cost: $28 Identifier: R1 Party Size: 2-10 Staging Area: The “lobby” is a dirt parking lot outside a storage container that they tell you to look for. Keep in mind that the instructions in the email they send you are inaccurate at best (admitted by our GM); just follow the signs for “Escape Woods” on the trees. Metro Access/Parking: drive Drive DRIVE. No public transport out this way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUR EXPERIENCE This is the video we took before we entered the room: Yeah, nope. We got out of the car and they kinda just started talking so I didn’t have a chance. This is the video we took just after we completed the room: Yep, I suck. We ran off after taking the picture because it was entirely too buggy outside and I forgot to do a video later that day. Logistics: Description of the room: we knew the room was outside and a maze, but that was about it. Oh, and that there were dragon eggs. Understanding of the Mission: find the 3 dragon eggs to put an end to the curse. Did We Escape: Yes Time Remaining: Something like 10 minutes; I don’t remember what we were told but based on the time notifications we got over the walkies, sounds right. Our Suggested Party Size: We were 5. There’s plenty of room for 10 (the room max), but there’s not going to be enough for 10 people to do. I’d say 4-6 max. Did the room challenge the entire team? No Members of our team (other than the ERG): Steph, Jolene, Liam, Logan Worth the time and money? No Where to Eat/Drink Before/After: * We went home and had pizza after.

Avoid if… you dislike rooms with literally no story. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BASICS Gulf Coast Escape Room Destin at Harborwalk Village: Address: 34 Harbor Blvd, Unit 102, Destin, FL 32541 (click address for Google Map) Contact and Website: 850-460-8760 http://www.gulfcoastescaperoom.com/ The Room – Bates Motel: Description (from the company website): You find yourself trapped in one of the many rooms in Bates Hotel. You have 30 min to find your way out before you become the next on Normans list. Difficulty (1-10): None listed Time Limit: 30 minutes Cost: $20 Identifier: R1 Party Size: Can book up to 8 Staging Area: Small waiting area with a bench or two but plenty of standing room. Metro Access/Parking: There’s a parking lot alongside the harbor that’s basically in the middle. You’ll need to drive or get a lyft (see what I did there?). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUR EXPERIENCE This is the video we took before we entered the room: Jason didn’t do a post-room video but he reserves the right to do so and update this page. Logistics: Description of the room: It’s a small room with 3 pieces of furniture + a bed and pictures on the walls. Understanding of the Mission: Um…Escape Did We Escape: Yes Time Remaining: Time left on the clock was 1:31, however, as the GMs went to reset the other rooms, my GM left his walkie-talkie elsewhere so I had to emergency-key it out of there and make a scene (read: call for help), so more like 3 and change. Our Suggested Party Size: I can’t say I’d recommend more than 4 (first because it’d be cramped, and second because there’s honestly not a lot to do. Did the room challenge the entire team? Yes, but in the wrong ways. Read on. Members of our team (other than the ERG): It was just little old me (Jason). Jason was able to escape the Bates Motel! Worth the time and money? No Where to Eat/Drink Before/After: * AJ’s Seafood and Oyster Bar – I went there beforehand and had the fish tacos. Very good. Only about a 5 minute lolly-gag to get to the room.

Avoid if… you dislike telephone booths, bars, or alleyways. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BASICS Time Emporium Escape Rooms: Address: 391 Denver Ave, Loveland, CO 80537 (click address for Google Map) Contact and Website: 970-619-8639 https://time-emporium.com The Room – Wizard’s Tower: Description (from the company website): There’s been a series of murders in the dark alleyways of London. We think it has to do with another time medallion that we’ve located. The murderer might even be in possession of this medallion.

Difficulty (1-10): Medium Time Limit: 60 minutes Cost: $28 Identifier: R1 Party Size: 8 Max Staging Area: Small waiting area with merch and a couch. Metro Access/Parking: There’s a parking lot for the facility and the adjacent store. Unsure about metro access. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUR EXPERIENCE This is the video we took before we entered the room: This is the video we took just after we completed the room: As I’ve said a few times in recent memory, I’m apparently forgetting to do the post room video. Note: The ERG were given the opportunity to try out this room for free, with the understanding that we would continue to provide an honest review and follow the same process we’ve used on all of our other ratings. Logistics: Description of the room: You start off in an alley along side a bar, brick walls, windows, and all. Understanding of the Mission: Retrieve the Time Medallion by solving this murder mystery before you become the next victim. Did We Escape: Yes Time Remaining: A few minutes, IIRC. Our Suggested Party Size: 6ish would work. Did the room challenge the entire team? Yes Members of our team (other than the ERG): Steph D We tried are darnedest to call home, but there was nowhere to put a quarter. Worth the time and money? Yes Where to Eat/Drink Before/After: * Grimm Brothers Brewing Company is across the lot but they were closed by the time we finished.

FacebookTwitterCopy LinkRedditLinkedInDiggTumblrPinterestShare ESCAPE GAME REVIEW/NEWS: With the ongoing pandemic and lockdowns still in effect, escape room locations are working on online games (which we’re calling online escape rooms), while other companies are capitalizing on creating escape room games (like board games and puzzle books). THE PROJECT: Jan Van Damme, from Crux Club HQ, creates outdoor puzzle hunts, which “are similar to an escape room, but take place outdoors. The goal is to accomplish something in the world, not get out of a room.” Van Damme’s new venture, however, comes in the form of an escape room style puzzle book, which means that there is a story leading you through an interactive book of theme-related puzzles based on those you might typically see in an escape room. Enter Mob Treasure, their new Kickstarter, which is live through Thursday, March 4. They’ve crushed their funding goal, so the funds for the project will be collected and awards delivered this May (per their projection). Check out their Kickstarter here at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/janlucvd/mob-treasure-a-puzzle-book-treasure-hunt. And, what’s really cool about this adventure is that it is based on a true story! (photo taken from Crux Club’s website) Continue reading → WIZARDING 101: PAY. ATTENTION.

In this exciting new adventure, you will travel back to the age of swords and sorcery. Can you harness all five elemental runes, unlock the mysteries of the Wizard’s Tower, and prove yourself worthy of the challenge?
