This game was really fun and original. Quirky characters, easy-to-follow storyline, good range of puzzles of varying difficulty, and the best feature is the awesome live avatar. The avatar was descriptive of the room and its features, accompanied by the occasional subtle hint. Reveal and cut scenes were engaging, while room overview and camera angle captured all the details you need to size up the play. Suitable for kids of all ages and an overall great experience that combines all the features of an escape room and Role Playing Game (inventory and items)! Great job Joel! We had lots of fun playing it, from start to finish.

We smiled and danced throughout this game. Let's be honest, this game is strange - you are either going to love it or hate it. But how can you not love it?! This game had a very cool retro vibe for me. It was more musical theater than escape room, but with puzzles along the way. We had a very enjoyable evening with this game. Thanks, Joel, for your creativity, and for having the cojones to put these mad ideas into action.

This experience is joyously silly. The whole thing plays more like a video game than an escape room, but it is all good fun. As the other reviews say, best to enter unspoiled.

Brilliantly original take on the Zoom-based escape room format. Don't Google it in advance, just go in with a smile on your face and expect to have that smile for the entire time :>

This is one of my favourite games I've played. The sets are beautiful and made with love. The story is charming and funny. The puzzles are well designed and interesting. There are musical numbers. Point and click feel with the charm of gorgeous puppets and fun puzzles! π

- Lovingly created set and story
- Great use of the online medium to deliver something original
- Fun and satisfying puzzles


This game is truly unique, fantastical, and oh so clever. It is a must play game! If you love escape games, catchy songs, humor, and classic point and click adventure games like "Escape from Monkey Island" or "Myst" then this game is definitely for you. It is such a fun and creative experience, and our team of four thoroughly had a great time.
Headlock Escape Rooms has taken the escape room genre over zoom and has expertly created an experience that can truly only be played in this virtual setting. This is not an escape room that was converted for a zoom format, but rather a game that was created from scratch with zoom in mind.
I highly recommend that you book now. Really. Stop what you are doing and go book now for a truly memorable experience.

Believe the hype. More of a show with puzzles along the way. Music is superb. Joel is a top chap. Really enjoyed this. ππΌ

This is an un-missable Zoom experience. I highly recommend to solvers of any level. If you think you've seen everything an escape game on Zoom can be, think again. Trust me on this one. Bring the kiddos. Original, delightful, outstanding. Can't wait to share this and recommend with my friends and family. Bravo Headlock!
Reviews by escape room review sites
What makes this virtual escape room stand out for me is the uniquely designed
dioramas on which your journey takes place. They are colorful, vibrant, and the
aesthetic takes on a funky whimsical theme that is consistently seen and felt throughout
the whole experience. Every new scene we entered I had to take the moment to just
look around and admire the set design down to the little figurines that turned out to be
characters you would engage with in adorable text conversations.
Another facet that endeared me was the use of musical numbers that livened the
experience during transition times. The songs are catchy, hilarious, and filled with puns
that adults and children alike would enjoy. We encouraged the creator to share the
sound score with players afterwards and they are considering it!
"The Keeper & the Fungus Among Us" is a funky magical journey in a fantastical world
with a nostalgic video game vibe any person could enjoy. The creative sets engage
players and the clever use of music gives players the feeling that they were in more
than just an escape room. You became a Guardian, a hero in the making, out to stop
the evil infesting the land. Your tasks challenge your mind to not only think outside the
box but also decide what kind of hero you truly want to be. Are you up for it?
