At Room Escape Artist, we write about escape rooms 365 days a year. It’s a lot of content… so we’ve decided to help you out with a monthly column that highlights the strongest and most interesting content that we put out each month.

The original set of tickets sold out in one week! Luckily, we opened up an extension, so you can still come with us to experience some of the best escape rooms in North America this May. If you love escape rooms, you won’t want to miss this trip!
Reviews
Escape Rooms
40 Thieves, Mind Trap Escape Room (Temecula, CA) – This was a vastly sprawling escape room adventure, brimming with character, and set in the world of a mystical bazaar. (Review by Theresa W)
Abstraction, Eliviascape (Québec City, QC, Canada) – From story to puzzle design, to the sheer scale of the game world, Abstraction was packed with originality, coherence, and grim beauty. The last act had a puzzle interaction that was as big as it was unique. (Review by David Spira)
Hide & Seek, The Escape Warehouse (Ponchatoula, LA) – Hide & Seek brought a classic childhood game to life with a bit of a thrill. It’s creepy, but not terrifying. It felt familiar… but twisted. (Review by Lisa Spira)
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, 13th Hour Escape Rooms (Wharton, NJ) – From the characters, to the sets, to the iconic story beats, 13th Hour Escape Rooms brought Oz to life. Fans, take note: you don’t want to miss this. (Review by Lisa Spira)
Event Coverage
The Crate Gotham Challenge: Holiday Edition, Great Gotham Challenge – This tabletop (and online) puzzle hunt took place on December 26 and 31, 2022. It was a race to solve all the puzzles contained in a crate as fast as possible. (Review by The REA Hivemind)
Our PAX Unplugged 2022 coverage is available in 2 installments: Bigger, Better, and Gamified and The Puzzle Events. More than ever before this tabletop gaming convention in Philadelphia, PA offered content escape room players would (and did!) enjoy. (Recaps by Andrew Reynolds)
