A heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders have breached the White House. The President has been escorted to a safe bunker. All secret service agents on the premises have been neutralized. To make matters worse, the paramilitary group has launched a series of missiles that can only be disarmed inside the Oval Office. Our only hope is a group of tourists trapped inside. This group must use knowledge and strategy to infiltrate the Oval Office and disarm the missiles. Be conscious of your surroundings, keep an open mind and use only your best judgment…millions of lives depend on it.

Fun room. There was a lot to do. Just the 2 of us. Gave us extra time because one lock was backwards. Finished the room but well over the 60 min
There was a lot to do and just the 2 of us.

For my last game with Americas Crisis at 1600 did not disappoint! Walking in we understood why this room was meant to be played with 4+ players but we are thankful that our GM’s gave us time to wrap up the end game. Many puzzles and tasks to do throughout the experience but each were novel and had a fair amount of depth! Had a lot of fun here overall :)

We did this as a group of 6 which was just about ok given our minimal experience at the time. Clever gameplay and some fun application of historical knowledge. Enjoyable room.

This is a great first escape room for beginners! This was one of my first escape rooms and while I think I’d have a different opinion if I were to play it today, I really enjoyed it for what it was. The setting was a little bland but they did have a pretty cool target puzzle!

Loved the history and the puzzles, all the history references, and details put into the room. I would recommend this room to anyone, but would highly suggest more than two people for your team

One of the first games I ever played. Loved it. It still stacks well in the almost a hundred I’ve done. Highly recommend. We really felt the pressure at the end.

For the gameplay itself, there was PLENTY to do. Definitely can be done with larger crowds. We did it with two players and barely made it out with 6 seconds to spare and felt having two extra sets of eyes, ears, and hands would have been super helpful. The decor was ok, I think that’s where AEG is lacking in general as they rely on painted walls and wallpapers instead of physically building a set like escape effect, mystique, the escape ventures, game over Tampa, etc. So you go to AEG for the puzzle challenges versus the immersion. Other than that, it was fun, like I said PLENTY of things to do albeit they have no rhyme or reason as to why they would be in the Oval Office so once again it’s all about authenticity and the quality or the theming which is lacking here. Just enjoy the puzzles and try to escape but AEG, unless they prove it to me otherwise with future creations, will not be in my top 5 or top 10 because there are many other companies that truly go above and beyond to make incredibly immersive and realistic rooms so I have to give them props…they deserve it…but for puzzles..AEG will keep you busy the full hour

Over all a great room. Clean place with friendly staff, room was well maintained with up-kept objects. Puzzles flowed well as did the rooms and overall it was a great experience. Parking wasn’t too bad but the place was easy to find
my first escape room, detailed and fun. rooms flowed well and everything was well maintained
interactive, all puzzles and items were well themed and east to understand. considerably a good first room for anyone

The worst game/ experience I've had at americas. We were partnered with strangers who had never played. We spent half the game coaching them through the room(trying to include them while also trying to finish). And the game master ignored us for 5-10 min at a time when asking for clues. The scenic design was pretty good and the puzzles were mostly fitting. The manager did make it up to us with a credit for a free game.
