I really enjoyed this room, its a classical escape game but has a solid narration with enough embellisment in the room to enhance the story without interferring with the game play and the entire game is well themed and has an inventive range of puzzles. The GM was very responsive and didn't lead us with the camera. Nicely done throughout.
A fairly basic game that would have been ridiculously easy in person but ended up being about the right difficulty when played via the avatar.
It's a well-presented office scene with a series of enjoyable puzzles. It's fun for what it is but there just wasn't enough content there for me to get super-excited. If you do want to play, I'd recommend playing as a pair.
In many ways, this is a classical escape room. It worked fine in the format, and the GM played her part well. It was a fun hour.
This was our 3rd remote room, and for me, fell somewhere in the middle of the other 2. Very 1st-gen room. The best feature may have been the GM as a careless secretary who needed our help. Stayed in character pretty well. Overall, I'd recommend to anyone looking for a remote escape experience.
A fan favorite from the first crop of live remote escape rooms. A fairly basic Gen 1 room, but nicely appointed, the tech is solid, the puzzles work well remotely, and the GM does a good job of staying in character and helping you feel like you're there.

With rolling lockdowns and restrictions, the number of venues offering avatar games is increasing; but Harz Escape were one of the pioneers of the format, among a handful of companies who offered a remote avatar escape back when that was a completely new and untested concept. They have several physical rooms, and do in fact offer another game online; but that one's only available in German, so Don Vito is their only play-from-home option for English-speakers. [Edit: this is no longer the case, s...
Harz Escape has skillfully brought their most classic Escape Room into the digital world with the Remote Escape Room The Case of Don Vito, taking a very direct approach.
