We have played all of their rooms in Port Charlotte and most at their original Orlando location. With 300+ rooms under my belt, I can confidently say that Escape Ventures is one of the absolute best companies not just for the high quality of their rooms, but also their stellar customer service. Seriously haven't had anything less than an amazing experience with every game master we've encountered across all their locations. Suffice it to say, we had high expectations for their newest location in Winter Garden. I was aware that they had taken over the Escape Goat location, which I had never played at. So I knew that it was likely these rooms wouldn't be on quite the grand scale as their other from-scratch locations. But we chose to bring two new comers to the hobby to this location anyway, because we had such confidence that they would provide them with an exceptional experience. And they absolutely lived up to the high bar they had previously set for themselves. Our game master for all three games, Sarina, absolutely knocked it out of the park. Fun, friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. She also did an excellent job with the little bits of acting required of their GMs. We were laughing and smiling every time she busted into the lobby with a new character. Such a joy! And the rooms, to no surprise, were also a ton of fun! They told us they would soon be scrapping many of the rooms to create new experiences, so I'm glad we played these while we could. Knowing these were built by a previous company and then updated a bit to fit the Escape Ventures sensibility did not detract from the experience at all. While they weren't quite as transcendently stellar as some of their headlining rooms at other locations, they are still the best possible version of a standard escape room. I can easily recommend them for newcomers and veterans alike. I won't spend too much time describing the rooms since they will soon be gone. But the puzzles flowed smoothly and were intuitive. The scenic design is solid. There are a few bits of fun tech as well. Love this company so much and can't wait to see what they come up with next!
