Escape IT - The Funhouse

We didn't like this one as much as the sewer. The host seemed to push us a lot especially early on. The puzzles were just ok there are not many of them and the ones that are there can be done by one or two people. I gave it a thumbs up mainly because of the scenic. If you are looking for a fun walk through with a few puzzles sprinkled this is it but it's not an escape room.

I had read previous reviews, so I wasn’t expecting it to be heavy on the ‘escape’ aspect. However, I was surprised that there were more puzzles than I anticipated. Unfortunately, an actor/guide accompanies you throughout the experience and essentially walks you through every puzzle. Even though my group was doing well, the guide told us how to solve the puzzles before we even had a chance to figure them out ourselves, which took away a lot of the fun. While the set and immersion are impressive, it’s not very scary, so if you’re looking for a good haunted house, this may not be it. I’d only recommend it to someone who doesn’t regularly do escape rooms, as they might still enjoy it. Another thing to note is the group size – there are 10 people per group, and many of the rooms are VERY small for that number. If you’re even slightly claustrophobic, this is not for you. Even without claustrophobia, I often couldn’t see what was happening because there were too many people crowding the small space.

Amazing set and really great to experience. Very much a walk through experience and few true puzzle sequences. The timing of some of the rooms seemed at but off but as long as you go in with the expectations of light on the escape room/ heavy on the immersive walkthrough you’ll enjoy it! Plenty of great moments.

Not impressed. Was totally looking forward to the room but was less than impressed. Set design was spectacular but this was not an escape room. This was a rushed through, timed, ushered haunted house. It would have been better if they just let us walked through and looked at everything.

I would classify this more as an “escape experience”. Super fun, incredible set design, lots of rooms. Hadn’t seen the second movie but still engaging. I found most the puzzles on the easier side, but the overall theatrics, actors, and story well made up for it. Did the experience with a group of 3. Would not recommend more than 5.

I thought it was very well set up !!! And once again like the 1st chapter made toy feel toy was very much in the movie

If you’re a fan of the movies it’s enjoyable but don’t expect a challenging escape room.

I feel like this is a single step up from the less than impressive SAW escape experience from Egan Escape Productions. Pretty good set dressing but less than inspired gameplay and occasionally confusing setups may leave a less than ideal taste in the mouth of escape room enthusiasts. This room is closer to a more interactive haunted house walkabout than it is to an escape experience.

We wanted to love this room and we didn’t even really like it. Chapter 1 was much better. Even if the puzzle wasn’t broken for us we left feeling very “meh.” Just be aware, this is not standard escape. Every section is timed so they really usher you through it.
