9/25/2023 0 Comments Great houdini escape room reviews![]() ![]() I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find this gem in the valley. ![]() I’ve done my fair share of escape rooms so my standards are a bit on the “picky” side now. I very much recommend The Architect’s rooms and I am looking forward to coming back and tackling the other two that they have now, as well as looking forward to the new rooms they have on the horizon. While I have seen other vendors’ websites rank a room’s difficulty, I’ve never seen that particular kind of breakdown and I very much enjoyed it. My two fellow escapees were experiencing their first room, and couldn’t stop gushing as we headed home afterward.Īs an added bonus – the room descriptions on the website have the nice touch of showing the kind of environment and puzzle -solving skills needed for each room which allowed us to help pick the room that would have the best group experience. Not only was the room here well constructed, the puzzles well constructed, and the immersion nicely implemented, the staff (Josh, the night we attended) were friendly, communicative, and helpful. I’ve done quite a few escape rooms from various vendors, and I have to say that this experience (Houdini’s Hideout) was easily in the top 5. A few jump scares in the room, but nothing too extreme to scare younger players.Challenging, inventive, fun, and friendly. It’s fun, inventive, and most of all entertaining. When I expect escape rooms this is what I always imagined. And we even received a small prize for getting out. We managed to escape with 2 minutes to spare, the end game chat was wonderful and allowed questions. We had to split up a few times but that made it more fun when finding new parts of the game. They say the game isn’t linear but we felt there was a slight structure to it, which made us feel like we were part of a movie. Without saying too much of the actual game for spoilers, there was a wonderful mix of physical and mental challenges. He displayed the perfect balance of helping us in the game, giving us nudges in the right direction and helpful clues, but he did not play the game for us which was much appreciated. James (Aqua-man) is a real credit to the company, not only did he have bags of energy, but gave us a great introduction and chat putting us at ease and guidance in the game. It’s not only surpassed it, it gave us the most thrilling hour with so much laughter and a few screams. After hearing so much about the company I really wanted it to live up to expectation. I could not fault a single part of our experience at Houdini’s, we played Extinct as a trio for a birthday treat. I would recommend to others but make sure you can put your bag down and leave time for the waivers! Overall we really enjoyed the experience despite the little issues. We also got a little souvenir at the end too. Luckily we got out with a minute to spare and picked the right egg so we all felt really happy. There were bits that made us jump and the elements were all really well done. A bit unfortunate! Despite all that, the room was really good, and even though there were so many of us, we all had a part to play. And my last issue was that the guy told us there would be somewhere we could leave our bags but there wasnt and we ended up doing the room in our bags and coats. We had to sign waivers beforehand too which I understand but it did slow things down a bit. It would have been appreciated if I'd be asked this quietly if there was any issue. ![]() I then explained that I'd paid for 8 and the hen went free as part of the deal. I was a bit surprised when we got there and I was asked to pay for the extra person in front of the group. ![]() I also emailed in the week to check everything was still Ok with the booking, and they confirmed it was. I had booked quite a while ago as I needed to find an escape room that would accept 9 people, and they said the Extinct room could fit 9. I came here with 8 others as part of my best friends hen do. ![]()
