We really enjoyed this and Michael was an excellent host. He had a lot of energy and made sure our 6 year old had fun! There’s plenty to do and lots of interesting puzzles. Very family friendly.

T’was some time before Christmas when all through the Shop, an alarm had been blaring and screaming nonstop! The toys were not made, the machines had not moved, with candy canes found everywhere leaving all behooved. You’ve sprung to the site to help where you can, can you solve all the puzzles and establish a plan?

This game was really cute and provided a charming experience. None of the puzzles were overly complicated but everything fit the theme which was nice. Mitchel was a great game master!

A couple of things did glitch out during our visit but our game master was quick on his feet and remedied the situation quickly and professionally :)

Candy Cane Conundrum is an escape room that will just have you smiling from start to finish. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, you are guaranteed to get into the Christmas spirit by the end of this experience. As for the puzzles, most are straightforward but it does help to have another set of eyes or ears. We did this room with 2 people but I think 3-4 could be a good number as well if you’re going for record-breaking time. Some puzzles are mechanical and some may require physical agility aka crawling or climbing up the stairs. There are accommodations if you find the physical aspect to be a little too much. We didn’t get a chance to do the other rooms in this location but we would have done more if time allowed! Our game master brought all the energy and we appreciate her! Parking is not the easiest during the busy times but if you go one street over, you might be able to snag a spot.

Such a cute Christmas themed room with lots to do! I would really only suggest 2-3 for this room for everyone to feel like they're busy all the time. There's little space overall, but they sure put it to good use. Our GM Tuesday couldn't have been more excited to have us and really took it upon herself to make sure we were invested in saving Christmas! This room had us smiling and laughing as we thwarted the naughty elf's plans!

One of my favorite rooms — the theme carried through every aspect of the room and it was fun, interactive, and really clever. The staff at Portland Escape Rooms have the best energy too.
