Sprightly Escapes, Escape Room Review

Sprightly Escapes
Denver, Colorado

Weekend Getaway: Stranded by car trouble, our group sought refuge in a roadside motel. The problem was that something very suspicious was happening there. 

Mission Improbable: RAWR! Dinosaurs extinct? Not in this world. We had to travel back in time and save them from inevitable extinction.

Pros: We loved the gamemaster! Her enthusiasm and love of escape rooms clearly showed and made our experience all the more enjoyable. Weekend Getaway seemed mostly clear and logical. We enjoyed the challenge of this room and the storyline kept us on our toes throughout the game. The set of Mission Improbable was fun and we enjoyed our efforts to save the dinosaurs from extinction. This was definitely a unique storyline that we had yet to come across so we appreciated the creativity and thought put into the game.  

Cons: Although the puzzles in both games were mostly clear and logical, we did find ourselves stumbling through a few parts of the game and needed assistance here and there. A few minor refinements could improve the game flow and player experience. Overall we recommend Sprightly Escapes as a solid middle-of-the-road game experience.
