I'm an escape room writer from Israel, with nearly 500 rooms under my belt (the "nearly" part will be fixed in a couple of weeks). Currently spending all of my free time writing reviews of the games played in the Spain tour, because of fear of Heiner!

Harry and the three Hallows

HARRY AND THE 3 HALLOWS by TimeZone in Perpignan, France

First of all – any room that is themed around Harry Potter gets a few extra bonus points in my mind. The company also had a Disney room, but sadly we did not have the time to play it too. The room isn’t the most impressive Harry Potter room, or […]

Jungle Quest

JUNGLE QUEST by Escape Dimension in Perpignan, France

It seems that my family are a bit of board game addicts, since this is the fourth time in the last few years that a family member decided to leave us the board game Jumanji. All my family that publishers of that game and they were stuck with too many […]

Avalanche

Avalanche by Maximum Escape in Andorra

My first trip to Andorra! And probably the last, there’s practically nothing to do there. This was the second room that we played in that facility (the first one will be discussed separately). We are stuck in a cabin during an avalanche, and need to find our way to safety. […]

Secret Lab

Secret Lab by Maximum Escape in Andorra

Oh, lord, that wasn’t great. Unlike the other room in this complex, which was very nice, this one wasn’t… the shiniest UV in UV chandelier (side note – damn, I’d love to see a UV chandelier). The room starts with a very interesting and really unique concept, but quickly derails […]

Mission Olympus

MISSION OLYMPUS by Olimpo Escape Room in Barcelona

There’s something absolutely fantastic about the fact that since this room is in Spanish, the instructions were given to us by a Spanish speaking Greek god. We have to travel up the Spanish Olympus, to retrieve a pair of Spanish Hermes’ sandals. The game is very nice, and uses a […]

One-Eyed-Willy

One-Eyed-Willy by Willy El Tuerto Escape Room in Sabadell, Spain

Imagine going to the cinema and watching Avengers: Infinity War without watching any of the previous movies. Everything will be very impressive, but you have no idea what’s going on around you, right? Which brings us to this room! I’ve never seen The Goonies before, so most of the plot […]

The Initiative

THE INITIATIVE by A Contratiempo in Granollers, Barcelona, Spain

I really like Lost. I enjoyed it from the first moment to the last, including its debatable end. So I of course got excited when I realized that we are about to play a Lost room on our trip. Let’s start with the positive – the room is great for […]

Cybercity 2049

Cybercity 2049 by Escape Barcelona

Take two spoons of Matrix, mix them with half a cup of Terminator and thirty grams of Blade Runner. Mix it well, and here you have it – your very own CyberCity 2049! When I saw that we’re playing that room, I had a certain vision in my mind for […]

Orient Express

ORIENT EXPRESS by The Witching Hour in Barcelona

I love it when escape rooms use themes that aren’t overdone. For instance, some rooms use the theme of an old timey train, some use the theme of Cthulhu, etc.Anyway, this is a room about resurrecting Cthulu within an old timey train! All jokes aside, kudos to them on the […]
