We were in town for a couple days looking for some fun things to do. My son brought up escape rooms and so of course I Yelped it. Bangor Escape rooms came up and had good reviews so I called and how lucky were we to get in within an hour. DJ was super helpful and accommodating to us. The four of us did the Italian diner room and managed to escape with 6:47 minutes using 4 clues. We liked it so much we decided to try our luck and do another the next day. We got in immediately a little after opening time and did the kings medieval room. This was a bit harder but super complex. Each room cost us $100. We had a great time! read more

I have called and left 2 messages in the past two weeks requesting information for my son's 16th Birthday party prior to booking and have never received a call back. I guess they don't care or need the business. read more

My husband and I just completed two of the rooms at Bangor Escape Rooms - Quest for the King's Crown and the Game Museum. Let me preface this review by saying that we have each done 50+ In-person rooms, plus a handful of virtual rooms during the pandemic. These were the first in person rooms that we've done in nearly 14 months, so we were excited to shake off the cobwebs a bit. We started with the Quest room and it was very well done. Pretty immersive, a good variety of puzzles, and overall flowed well from element to element. There were some puzzles that we hadn't seen before, which is very difficult given the number of rooms we have done. Fantastic room for first timers. That being said - it was only two of us and we got out with ~25 minutes to spare. Veterans may want to look to some of the other rooms for more of a challenge, or go in knowing that this is a solid but limited experience and just have a good time. We personally had such a good time with that room and the host, DJ, was so welcoming that we asked if we could book another room - Game Museum - on site. He did warn us that it was their hardest room, but still we wanted to at least see it even if we didn't get out. This is a very unique room. I don't want to spoil anything, but would highly recommend for newbies or veteran escapers alike. Certainly doable by two people, but we would have benefited from 1 or 2 additional set of hands because there's so much to do in this one. We escaped, but only after an additional 5 minutes on the clock. In general, I think some of the elements of both games could be replaced (some props/clues with paint that had worn off, some laminated cards that might be in need of a refresh, etc.) but nothing that really detracted from the game play. In speaking with DJ, it's clear that he and his partner just purchased the space a few months ago and are very passionate about escape rooms. I'm excited to see everything that Bangor Escape Rooms has to offer in the future, and wouldn't hesitate to repeat the 2 hour drive to visit again. read more

The room had a mobster casino feel, good décor but most of the props were cheap. One of the clues required a tool to open and was easily opened by pulled instead. The poker table had pieces popping out. They also had to give a short spiel about being careful not to touch the walls, since they were a bit historical and the owners didn't want anyone touching them. There weren't many locks, but lots of small pieces to puzzles. One puzzle we never solved, it needed some touch up in order to be seen. The last big puzzle was so complex, the clue offered wasn't even a clue, the answer on how to solve the puzzle. I'm guessing this means a lot of players aren't solving this own their own. This puzzle was very time consuming to complete, even once we had figured out the algorithm. I came with an experienced group to do the high stakes room, which is rated expert level of difficulty. (There are 4 room s with the difficulty range being medium, hard, expert and extreme) The staff were very friendly and excited to host us. They even took our group photo for facebook, as well as one with our camera. We did escape with 12 minutes left. I like the ideas for the room, but think there is plenty of room for improvement. read more

Bangor Escape Rooms - Escape Games Near Me - Bangor, Maine

See all

I have to say that this place is much beyond my expectations. My friends and I visited Acadia NP this fall and lived in Bangor for several nights. We chose here as our last night entertainment and we escaped from the King's Crown puzzle with 3 minutes left. First, the puzzles are well-designed with interesting clues left in the room. Second, the front desk is helpful. When we were trapped in some puzzles and waving our hands for help, he could always provide us with clues on the screen immediately. Last, the price is low and super worthy with the money. I highly recommend this escape room to my friends when they are in Bangor. Luckily, it is not difficult to book a reservation here. read more

This was so much fun! Room was clean and attendants very nice. We'll be back for another room...tomorrow, literally !

We have been here twice. We do one every year when we come to visit now. We have enjoyed the puzzles and trivia of the rooms. The staff are very friendly and I would highly recommend this place. read more
