This is a website where we review escape games. If you don't know what those are, please look them up as we will not explain here. Thank you. 

So we have done very few real life escape rooms. I think we have around 50 or so to our name(s)? Chances are if you're looking for a review of a certain room, it's not here. If you want us to play a game, give us an email under the contact us page. We'll try to play it if we can, but note that we only have a couple writers for this website and your room may not be gotten to for a while. Also, we have never engaged in the spoopy and might tend to steer clear of horror games (for now)! It's easiest if you ask for rooms near Boston or San Francisco. 

We try to publish one review every week (and key emphasis on try). I know it's slow, but we're quite busy (i.e. hippos need feeding, cats need petting, suns need deadly lasering)... 

Also, apply today!!! Are you passionate about escape rooms? Do you believe you are good at writing reviews? Do you speak English? (if you don't... Hola! Bonjour! 你好!) Do you actually exist? ARE YOU AN INSECT?!? If so, then apply by emailing the email that we discussed earlier!

We also publish reviews of tabletop escape room games (or, at least, we will) and there aren't a lot of those, so you'll probably find what you're looking for. (Key emphasis on probably - you can also request that we play a game if you go to the contact us page, as we mentioned twice before. Look - we're quite lonely.) We also review anything even escape room related, such as the movie Escape Room, or Boda Borg. 

Since this website is full of reviews, your best bet would be to use the search function if you're looking for a certain room or game. If not, you can browse games alphabetically (note - games with "the" as their first word will instead be classified by their second. For example, The Escape Game's The Heist will be under H instead of T). Games such as 5 Wits's 20,000 Leagues will be under the 1-10 category for games that start with numbers. If you're looking for a certain company, just use the search function. 

So go forth! Read bad reviews of good games! Enjoy yourself! And if you don't enjoy yourself, then close the tab!
