Escape Room Herndon

Escape room
IRL

Full of 80s nostalgia. Everything from wood paneling to cassette tapes. There are even games you can play that aren't part of the puzzles (labeled as such) that are just extra fun and classic memories.

Fun well themed recreation/sequel. Same physical space as the original room (but it is supposed to be per the story). A lot has changed since the first Cellar escape. Lots of different puzzles. Biggest challenges though were some clues were just hard to notice as first, some involve counting and what you are counting might be hard to find, and one of the earlier puzzles requires more force than you are told in the initial briefing. Overall it is a lot of fun and GM comes through in character to give hints and give remaining time updates.

Fun, well themed room. Some things are hard to see, and some puzzles need to be very precisely lined up (we had several correct that didn't register at first). Some clues light up by glowing or blacklight but are very hard to see.

Not an escape room, more of a real life video game. There are similar type activities in the RI and MA area. Though Level 99 is the only one where the activities extend beyond the individual rooms to scavenger hunts and other art based puzzles all over the place. Everything allows you to earn stars and those will stick with you through multiple visitis. The food is over priced and not worth it, especially with a decent food court on the same floor (and nice restaurants outside the mall). Your time starts as soon as you pay (they give you a couple extra minutes to start) not when you all tap in for the first time, so don't pay early while waiting for your friends to finish setting up their accounts (the computers are very slow and it takes longer than you might thing your first time). The layout is rather confusing, and you will waste time looking for the next open room, with doors squeezed in to random places and easy to miss. You can customize your icons and name on touch screens but only while under paid time, and not in a room (often done while waiting for the next room, though you cant check in early or set up a proper line due to space and the system not being able to handle tracking multiple groups waiting). Expect multiple rooms to be closed (our group went shortly after opening, and even before you could pre-pay online) and several rooms which were open the day before were closed (likely due to damage or computer malfunction). There is a lot of automation and not a lot of people maintaining it so it isn't surprising, you can also expect things to not work perfectly and perhaps fail you on a room to a calibration issue. Over all it is a fun, exhausting, hectic, expensive, and frustrating experience. You will find yourself rushing from one room to the next, while then waiting for extended periods for it to be available. Some rooms take longer to complete than others, and some can't be failed accidentally leading to longer wait times. There are a good mix of physical and mental challenges, though many are not ADA compatible (one had a large step up we wasted most of our time getting one of our team members just into the room, a small step shouldn't have been a problem, especially since the room itself wasn't that physical). Some competitors start your time when the door closes, this starts are soon as the door opens so be sure to get your entire group into the room quickly.

Great Christmas themed room. Bazada is great at fast turn around for themed rooms using most of an existing major build, but new decore and a fresh coat of paint and completely different puzzles. There theme rooms are always a fun adventure, never know what to expect.
