This was definitely an interesting and fun experience that was memorable. However, I wouldn’t really classify it as an escape room. It is more of a walk thru experience and something that movie lovers might enjoy as they are immersed in a Saw world. However, you have a time limit in each room and you move on to the next room regardless of if you succeeded. The props were impressive though. Just go into itwith the expectation that it isn’t really an escape room but an immersive walk through experience with incredible props and I don’t think you will be disappointed.

This was a walkthrough experience. To say this is an escape room is laughable. You have 6-12 min per room. You have an actor who pushed you through and that is annoying. The set again very cool! Props were cool. A little run down and not the cleanest but overall an ok time. It could’ve been done so much better in way of more puzzles / more scares and less pushing through like cattle. I get the reasoning the sheer amount of sq footage much cost a fortune. I think making 2-3 rooms adding more puzzles and making them 2 experiences rather than 1 would’ve been a much better decision.

20/10 best room I’ve ever done. I’m hoping to go back soon and actually beat it! There are several rooms in this game….I believe about 5 or 6. We beat 4 of them.

This was my 79th escape room. I have done escape rooms in 13 states and five countries. I have done mind-blowingly awesome rooms. I have done horrible, terrible, no-good rooms. And this was easily the worst room I have ever done. They start you off in a room with no instructions and no clue what your objective is. They also threaten you that if you open the wrong door or pull out your phone, you will get kicked out and not be able to return. The first section is huge. Aimless and directionless, you start to look around. And realize that there is so much junk around you--clothing and trash--that you have no idea where to start. You sift through all the garbage looking for some sort of clue, but find nothing. Nothing resembling a clue. Nothing. In our group, there were eight of us wandering around frustrated that we had no idea what we were supposed to do. So we asked for a hint. A suggestion. Something, anything, that would give us some indication of what we were supposed to be doing. Nothing. We kept wandering around looking for some semblance of a hidden pattern, message, or at least some indication that we were in an escape room and not an old nasty locker room. Nothing. After about fifteen minutes, they just pushed us to the next room. We asked the person if there were any clues in the room, and he told us there were clues all over, but refused to tell us anything more. We almost just left. For the remainder of our experience, there was an actor with us. For the most part, she did not let us even try to solve puzzles. She just told us where to look for stuff, how to solve it, where to look, what to stand, and what to touch. If we were reading a Where's Waldo book, she would have been the annoying kid behind you who has already read the book pointing to Waldo as soon as you turn to a new page. And so it went. We were either told exactly what to do and just went through the motions, or we had no idea what to do because the rooms were huge and any clues were hidden in a huge room with no signposts telling you where to look or what to do with the information once you found it. Also, you have to have seen the movies to solve the game. Well, not really. The actor will ask you something about the movie, and when you don't know the answer, she will just tell you. And whether you solve the room or not (ie, whether she is in the room or not) you move to the next room after a few minutes. At the end you are left with some burning questions: (1) what was the point of all that? (2) why do they call it an escape room when it is really just a guided tour through a museum where the guide occasionally abandons you? (3) where did my $50 go? And (4) Why didn't I do something worthwhile with my evening, like watch Gilmore Girls reruns or open a Where's Waldo book? The posted picture pretty much says it all. If you are into the Saw franchise and want to visit a replica of a movie set, you might like this. If you want to do an escape room in Vegas, go do Trapped or Lost Games.

The rooms were well done and it was a good recreation of saw. However, I would not go if you are there for the puzzles. I agree with the others that it is more of a set walk through. Also, you are in the room with random people (unless you have a big enough group) and it makes it harder to get through the puzzles that they do have imo.

This is less of an escape room and more of a tour of the saw set, or a recreation of it

Made for people who love Saw and horror themed experiences. Not an escape room in a traditional sense. The puzzles were fine, they were a challenge, but mostly they required a lot of people working together. If you don’t like working with strangers, wait until you get a group together. If you don’t like jump scares, I wouldn’t recommend this. They do a good job, if I remember correctly, not bothering you while you do puzzles. However, there are actors. Really fun and good time overall.

It’s basically a walk through museum. The sets are fantastic, but not a lot of escape rooms and why do you spend what feels like an hour in an employee break room just going through trash? This was the reason we went to Vegas and of the ten rooms we did, this was the least favorite.
“It seriously delivered. Stepping inside felt like crossing over into Jigsaw’s depraved world.“
