The Sunken Ruins

It was a very different escape experience! You solve puzzles to collect money, not to escape. We were so close to being on the leader board! Very fun, lots to do, kid friendly.

This was one of my all time favorite rooms, like the other reviews said it isn’t your typical escape room format, but we enjoyed the many puzzles that took up the hour. Our team of 4 managed to snag 8/9 of the “main treasures” but had a ton of fun doing the various puzzles. There were enough for everyone to be working on something at the same time. The ending of the story was a little surprising for us but we still enjoyed ourselves a lot.

We loved this room. It's different from a typical escape room in that the goal is not to escape but to accumulate points within the story. There are SO many puzzles. We didn't solve everything but did pretty well (we got 5 of 9 "big" items). We would actually go back and play again so we could try all the puzzles we didn't get to! Well built and everything worked perfectly. Plus, as other reviews said, Carter is an amazing GM!

WOW! I’ve done a lot of rooms but this was a very deep experience that was PERFECT for our above average size group of 6. SO much to do. Lots of rooms with tons of unique puzzles. Very well designed overall. Our game master Carter was super kind, helpful, and genuine. I’d call it a “must do” in Portland for sure!

It was a great escape room with plenty of rooms and puzzles. We did it with six players and I have no idea what a lot of the puzzles were since we were all working on mostly different things the whole time. This was also a novel one in that the goal was less about time and more about getting as much treasure as possible. Also Carttter was a great host!

Great room, Jordyn was a fantastic GM!

We really enjoyed this game. The set was fun and we kept on discovering more and more!!

This company has amazing set design and props. Some of the best I’ve ever seen. Sunken Ruins was no different. So much fun and super immersive.

This room was great! Top 2 for me. The other being their voyager room at this location. The atmosphere is amazing. At the start of the room you desend in a submarine and the way they do this is amazing. It felt so immersive. This room also has a gimmick to it where your score isnt just time based. I wont spoil it but the nice thing about it is it insentivices you to play for the full hour. So you get your moneys worth from the room whereas for some es ape rooms you may escape way faster and not feel it was worth the money. There were a few issues with some of the puzzles but they fixed them for us and took notes on what to fix. This is a brand new room so im not surprised with a couple issues given how technical they make these rooms. That's the other thing about portal escape rooms. They are not your normal padlock style escape rooms. They are very modern and utilize lots of mechanical and electronic puzzles. There is also actual lore/story to the room which is really cool.
