“This room had so many great puzzles in it, from start to finish. We realized quickly that the power of observation would serve us very well at Rabbit Hole. Making sure to look around at every little detail was a great help. There was one thing that we overlooked (that was right in front of our noses) that we needed a little nudge on, but otherwise we made it out without much help. And the ending of the room was delightful!”

“Best bathrooms at any escape room I’ve been to! Spacious, inclusive, themed with decorative touches. Bravo! I knew this place would be great from the lobby decor and bathroom before even stepping into the escape room. One of the best set designs and most unique puzzles out there!”

“The set design on this game really shines through. From the moment you start the game it was really immersive and well designed. We did need a few hints on this one to make it out in time with just two of us, but we did end up getting out with 8 minutes to spare. This is the kind of room where if you see a puzzle and it doesn't make sense yet, just give it a little time until you find the information you need. A little crawling is required. We had a wonderful time overall with every game at Rabbit Hole!”

“Mystic Manor at Themescapes was an absolute blast! Creepy atmosphere, clever puzzles, and great storytelling made this escape room super immersive. The challenges were just tough enough to keep us on our toes, and the game master was awesome. Highly recommend if you’re into spooky, storydriven adventures!”

“Paying attention to details and working as a team were key to conquering Wharf of Wonder! From the moment we stepped in, we were fully immersed in the adventure. The puzzles were clever, the set design was amazing, and the surprises kept us engaged the whole time. The attention to detail in the theming truly transported us into the story. The staff were fantastic! They were helpful, friendly, and clearly passionate about creating an amazing escape room experience. Highly recommend for both seasoned escape room enthusiasts and first-timers alike!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
