    Just spent the evening doing some staff bonding here! We booked the Cold War Crisis, which we found out upon arriving is the hardest room they have in the whole place. I want to start by saying the customer service is INCREDIBLE. We were running late due to leaving at 5 and it takes a while to get down Almoa and University during work hours and they warned us we probably would have time taken off, but they still accommodated and gave us the whole hour. Mr. Roy the game master was very helpful, fun, and kind. We struggled a lot, but he was helpful with hints and truly made us feel good when we accomplished clues. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are looking for a fun night out or a simple staff bonding event!

    So much fun! This group has been twice. We have been to Zombie Apocalypse and Cold War Crisis. Are game master for both was Anchovy, he was great! We escaped both. I seriously recommend. It was a great time!

    Had a great time here with friends. Tried this place with a Groupon and it was so much fun! I prefer escape rooms on the creepy macabre side so I was happy to find this location had a Mad Professors Asylum themed room - yay asylum! The decorations were simple and they could put a little more into it, but there's probably a fine line between just enough decor and distracting from the actual clues. That being said, I do prefer the straightforward availability of clues and locks to open vs dummy props that waste time, so that was good. I was relieved that they had 5 hints available and the game master Anchovy was super helpful and nice whenever we needed a hint. I've been in escape rooms where we couldn't get the game master to respond when we asked for hints or sounded utterly bored and degrading. I was relieved that our guy was on it and upbeat and super helpful because that made a difference to us getting out. Would like to return and do another room!

    I love escape rooms! This one was awesome and King was amazing. He was running everything all by himself until other employees arrived later. He did amazing multi-tasking and giving instructions. he gave good hints and also took our photos afterwards. We are coming back!!

    Mid to late last year, my friends and I noticed a sign for a future escape room game opening up near UCF and we were very excited. The place seemed to have a super delayed opening date- much later than scheduled. My friends and I got a Groupon for four people to do an escape room. Our fourth person backed out and they still accepted the Groupon! We were helped out by Bri the entire time. She was so nice and very helpful. They have four different rooms (listed in order of difficulty)- Mind Boggling, Mad Professors Asylum, Zombie Apocalypse, and Cold War. We chose Mind Boggling. I can't give any specifics of the room, but it was a lot of fun. Everything was set up so well and very intricate but not too hard, and the entire time you play, somebody is watching & hearing you through cameras and can give you feedback through a walkie talkie. You also get 5 hints if you get stuck! One of our props that we needed got stuck somewhere and they paused the timer for us and they fixed it and apologized. We got out with 15 minutes to spare! We got to write our name on the winner wall [look for the AAA ;)] and took a picture with props for Facebook. Overall we had a great experience here! They offer more tickets for a lower price after you finish and of course we took them. I was very nervous to do this at first (I freeze up under pressure) but Bri helped us out a ton and put me at ease. Next time we're trying the Mad Professors Asylum! I hope my next experience is as great as my first!

    Tonight I took my family to try out the Mind Boggling room. I had done this a little over a year ago with another group but had totally forgot all the puzzles inside (which is a good thing). We had a total blast AND we escaped with about 9 1/2 minutes left. We started off with Justice as our game master but ended the second half with Ginger Snapps. Love him!!!! Compared to other escape rooms in the Orlando area- the prices are amazing! These rooms are great for team building, birthdays, date nights or just a fun time out with your family.

    An overall fun experience. We went two separate times putting our skills to the test in Mind Boggling and Mad Professor's Asylum. Although the rooms themselves were challenging, we were able to successfully escape both times. Staff communicates well and is there if you need a hint or two. Would recommend to any escape room fan or anyone looking to have a fun experience.

    So I came here with my class (class activity) so I don't know if you choose the rooms or they choose for you. This was my first time doing any escape room at all so I was excited. You sign the waiver and other stuff before you start the escape. My group was chosen to be in mind boggling. I did not expected the first room to be all white. Hahaha. I'm not gonna give away what happens in that room. Have fun figuring it out ;) But anyways, they will give you a walk-talkie and you have 5 hints. You have 60 minutes to escape. Ideally, you try to have 4-7 people to solve. We had 7 people in my group. You don't want too many people cuz it's hard to solve with many people. Try to scatter around the room and look what's out there. Don't huddle all together in one area unless you are at the last part. There's three rooms inside so don't think it's just that white room. XD Mad Professor alyssum is rank the easiest to escape, then the Zombie, then the Mind Boggling, and then Cold War. Sadly, we didn't not finish in time. We were two steps away. We actually had a hard time opening one of the locks (the one you swipe up, down, left, and right). They paused the time for us. That was nice of them. After you and your group are done, you can take a photo with their photo booth props at their photo booth background. Yeah it was frustrating to solve them but in the end, I had fun. I'll try to win next time I come here. There is great deals when you're in a group. Look at the photo to see the deals. I definitely recommend this place. Have fun and try to escape in time before they get you!

    This was my first escape room, and I was prepared to be unamused, and indifferent about the experience. We got put in the Cold War Crisis room, and I was very impressed with the atmosphere of the room. I'm a big history lover, so it was a great one to start with. I had an absolute BLAST. The excitement of finding clues, solving the puzzles, and figuring out where something was hidden was so satisfying. Not to mention hidden surprises you would never expect from an escape room. I'm hooked!

They have a great variety…read moreof rooms with different themes and difficulty levels, so there's something for everyone. One thing that really stands out is how on point the theming is. They pay attention to the small details, even down to the doors you walk through to enter each room, which really helps set the tone before the game even starts and makes the whole experience feel more immersive. The puzzles are creative and the rooms flow really well, keeping things engaging the entire time. Some rooms are a little scarier while others are more fun or silly, which makes it great to visit multiple times. The game masters are always awesome. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about what they do. They're also great about adapting to the style of hints your group prefers. They'll give unlimited hints if you want them, but they're also really respectful if you'd rather play without nudges. Whenever we go, we ask for no hints unless we request them, and they always stick to that. They've also given really solid recommendations for other escape rooms locally and even throughout the state, and they were the ones who told us about the Morty app for finding and rating escape rooms. Overall it's a really well-run spot with great theming, creative puzzles, and a team that clearly cares about the experience. I'm always excited to try new rooms when they launch them

That kind of energy trickles down into everything, from the puzzles to the vibe. Whether you're a first-timer or an escape room addict, this place is a must. Fun, immersive, and run by the bestest owner you'll ever meet. We'll 100% be back.

It was old school with a few key locks and a couple cool elements thrown in, so it was immersive but pretty easy for experienced players (we are now 2nd on the leader board having escaped with 30:13 minutes remaining) leaving you feeling a little unfulfilled. I am interested in playing their newest game, Operation: Ringfall, which opened last year.

We ended up asking for 2 clues, but they gave us hints along the way if they felt we were going down the wrong rabbit holes.

Everything is done on a tablet really and even though you're walking to different spots in the park, everything is really just a puzzle on the tablet. And sometimes the answers we'd put in would be right, but the tablet wanted it typed differently. A little annoying at times, but it's all a program so I get it.
