A+ build. Great puzzles, great theming. ❤️ all day.

Tier: B+ (see bio) A really fun twist on the relatively common escape room pet theme. I really wasn’t expecting where this story went (though I wish the twist was revealed way later than it was). However, this is not a story-driven game at all (minus a neat character introduction and a funny premise). There is a shift in the story in the 2nd half, but it’s more of a vibe change than it is notable story progression (and also, to me, a downgrade in the quality of the homespun set). This is instead a puzzle-driven game that is very puzzle-dense. Make sure you go into it with either a relatively large group or a small group ready to do a lot. The good news is, all of this gameplay is really fun, though there are one or two physical interactions that took way too long. At one point in the time I took to complete one extremely simple interaction the rest of my team got through 3 whole puzzles. This game (and Nowhere to be Found) are definitely worth fitting in if you’re in the area! Just be sure you go into this one ready for a puzzle-dense game (I wasn’t, this was the first game of the trip and I was barely awake) and for something you’re not quite expecting!

WHAT. A. BLAST. Reveals around every corner. Excellent puzzle flow and story/environment driven unique puzzle design. I was smiling the entire time eager to solve the next puzzle while I was mid-solve on something else. Kept us moving and saying woah time after time! This is what an “escape room” is all about!! Great use of tech intertwined in most everything. Thank you Lauren, R.J. and the family for always putting so much love and care into experiences. ❤️

My wife and I had a blast at Great Escapes Inman today. We escaped both rooms. This room was fun and whimsical. There were a lot of fun puzzles and several "physical" games that we really enjoyed. A lot of puzzles in this room but definitely doable for just 2 people. I especially loved the storyline and transitions. The room was well themed. The puzzles all made a lot of sense, and fit the theme. We also really enjoyed talking with Tim, Vicki, Lauren and RJ. Lauren was a great GM. We didn't need much help as everything worked perfectly and puzzles just clicked for us. But, when needed, she gave the perfect amount of nudges. Highly recommend you make a stop in Inman to do both these rooms.

Bow wow! This room was super fun, with a very cute and funny premise! The story revolves around trying to find a lost dog in the neighborhood, and I’ll just stop there. You gotta see to believe. There are a lot of tasks in this room, and somehow our team of 2 managed to finish them all with time to spare. We had to divide and conquer, and some of the dexterity tasks were especially ruff. But doggone it, it was worth it to see the end! So if you’re in the area for an escape trip or just passing through, it’s worth going to the dog yard, where the puzzles you see that you do get to solve, it’s at the dog yard!

Loved the dog theming! Very clever and playful room! Room plays up to 6 but I personally would cap it at 4.

Really fun story, great puzzles and overall very well built room.

We love a homegrown room with clever puzzles and personal investment. This room is exactly that! The owners/designers/operators were super kind and the room was a lot of fun. It contains some unique puzzles, fresh ideas, fun tech, and everything flowed really well. This is a puzzle-lovers room. We'll be back to do more of their rooms!

This was such a fun room full of puzzles galore!! I love figuring out puzzles so this room was amazing. My husband and I have done a lot of escape rooms together, and we brought my mom to this one, which was her first. She jumped right in and started solving puzzles and had a blast! Definitely recommend this room for people who enjoy lots of puzzles. The puzzles were so fun and creative and the game masters are fantastic! Just all around awesome.

Absolutely loved the experience here! This was my 5th time doing any kind of escape room and this one was just fun! There was a ton of puzzles to solved and a cute story line to go with our room. The owners were super friendly and very helpful with the prompts and clues when we got stuck! Definitely coming back to try the other rooms.would recommend to anyone trying to do escape rooms in the area.
