I was skeptical of the theme when I went in but the immersive, evocative presentation and unique, custom-designed puzzles brought me over enthusiastically by the end. This is one of my favorite escape room experiences now. There is one puzzle in particular that I loved, a signature piece that is innovative, interesting, and perfectly tied to the theme. You’ll know it when you see it. Highly recommended.

Gameplay

Really fantastic presentation that meshed gameplay with theme.

Atmosphere

I am not particularly a fan of the movie, but once I played this escape room I was sold on the theme. They did a great job evoking the movie, with some puzzles that are uniquely suited to the theme. There were several areas that open up and they are varied and interesting. The props, lighting, and audio were all evocative. Just an excellent presentation.

Customer service

Professional staff. No notes.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

One of the puzzles in this room is probably my favorite of all escape rooms I have been in. I won’t spoil it but it meshed with the theme really well, was intricate but fair, and lent a rising tension that landed with an exciting payoff when solved. A careful, unique design made for a signature experience that put this room over the top.

Story

Since it was based on a movie, the story wasn’t original, but it hewed closely to the story and did a good job evoking it.

Scary

Spooky

It wasn’t particularly scary but there were some eerily lit spaces, ominous sound effects, etc. If you can handle the scare factor of the movies, then you should be fine.

There wasn’t anything physically taxing but there were some narrow passages and a staircase.

Accessibility

There is a staircase and a narrow passage that would make it difficult for a person in a wheelchair to participate with some of the puzzles.

Easy to find location

Yes

It’s in a strip mall off of a Main Street, well indicated with a light up sign.

I think this is my favorite of the bust out rooms. Going back and forth to the game board to trigger the next thing just felt thematic and cool, and the very end was such a fun way to close up the game.

This room was amazing. Very good details in the room and some cool tasks. Some climbing stairs and crawling required. Fun!

Overall a solid room with something for everyone. Not too difficult and Puzzles were pretty straightforward for the most part but fun nonetheless and lots to do for a team of four. Set design was good but felt a bit sparse in some areas.

One of the best I’ve done! Very immersive! The atmosphere was perfect and varied to align with different parts of the story. If you’ve ever wanted to actually play Jumanji, this is the closest you’ll get!

It's hard for me to review this objectively, because partway through I realized I had played the game before, but at a different company (at XCapade in Hayward, CA) - this is the first time in 100+ games that's happened to me! The game is based off a kit, but I hadn't realized it at first because Bust Out spent a bunch of effort to customize the game. Compared to my previous experience, this version was much much better - better set, better effects, attentive GM. The tech was slightly wonky, but nothing major broke.

Such a fun time! A ton to do! Audio, visual and all of the tech worked! Superior customer service. Bust out is a diamond in the rough in New Mexico! This is a must do game without a doubt!
