You get a lot of freedom to play whatever games you want and move at your own pace. I think the original quickshot is the most fun.

He chose The Quest and I felt like it was great for our family's first time. When we walked in, there was someone at the front to get us checked in. Since we signed the waivers online, we didn't have to worry about them at check in. We sat in the front lobby and waited for the room to be prepped. They had two tv monitors in the lobby that showed the different rooms and the leaderboards. Once they were ready for us, they had us put our belongings in a locker and then walked us to the hallway to watch a short video explaining the escape room and the rules. Afterwards, they took us to the room so we could begin. I won't give anything away, but all 6 of us had such a good time! We worked together and figured out the clues. We made it out of the escape room with just 6 minutes to spare, but we were so proud of ourselves. It was our first one and I felt like we did awesome. Once it was over, the door opened and there was someone there to direct us back to the lobby. They offered to give us $7 off each ticket if we purchased some in advance (they are good for a year). We didn't hesitate and bought 6 more tickets. After we got home, they emailed me with our stats. It was fun to see how long it took us and what badges we earned. I think we will definitely do more escape rooms in the future. Every single person in our group had so much fun! If you're thinking about doing an escape room, DO IT!

We managed to snag the last 2 spots that opened up during the 5:05 time slot before our flight back home. The branding was very impressive. The initial theme was Japanese subway station, and the entrance to the escape room was underground and through a cool little hallway that reminded me completely of the movie, "Exit 8". As we entered the lobby, we were greeted by the most enthusiastic, welcoming, and professional host, Tyler, who gave us a great rundown on what to expect and the format of the game. We were told that we were not only to purely focus on solving the clues, but also to look for coins that we can collect as "soul coins"? And having more of those will win us more points. We were paired with another group of 4, where 3 of them had done this experience before. Then mentioned that they will let the newbies try to "figure out most of the clues". Unfortunately the other group was very enthusiastic, and ended up just giving us instructions the entire time on how to solve each clue. I spent a lot of my time just wandering and looking for coins, because I feel that everyone else completely took over the clues, and I didn't have much of a chance to "figure anything out". There were a few spaces in the rooms that only fit 1-2 people, so I don't even think I got to see the entire rooms. At the end of the game, Tyler noticed that I was a bit upset because I personally did not have a good time. They offered to refund us, as well as gave us an option to come back and try the experience again. I felt pretty bad because my experience had nothing to do with how the game was run, we were just unfortunate paired with the wrong people. I would definitely come back again to give the game another change, but I would try to bring enough friends to fill an entire group! Thanks Tyler and owner for being so understanding and empathetic of the situation, I am blown away by the hospitality and compassion of the company. The rooms are beautiful, creative, and super interactive. Next time I would definitely come back and try to touch everything so I get the full experience!

Himitsu Station was something fed to me by "the algorithm", knowing I was in SLC, and knowing where…read moremy true interests lie. Having just traveled to Japan with my wife and sons less than a year ago (for my fourth time), our AI Overlords believed I would be a sucker for a Japanese supernatural train station-themed escape room. They were right, of course. Although Himitsu Station was even more than I had reckoned for! Whether you book a timeslot in advance (recommended, as they fill up fast!), or are lucky enough to find a walk-in opening, you are greeted at the service desk by a friendly, engaging (and in our case, bespectacled) conductor named Tyler, who gave us the run-down on safety, navigating the space safely, how to collect points and "soul coins" (a meta currency used to track progress and success), a few vague hints on how to bypass certain obstacles, and to keep our eyes peeled. When our time came, the nearby vending machine opened up (after inserting a special coin provided by the conductor), and off we went, into the bowels of Himitsu Station. There are four major puzzle rooms to solve: without giving too much away, these rooms consist of: "junk alley" (several booths of various merchants selling odds and ends, curios and electronics that must be solved and cross-utilized to proceed; "the boiler room" (where you must revive a living furnace to unlock the next passage; "the abandoned marketplace" (several open-air shops with various items [including free candy!] and iconography scattered about that are needed to open the sliding door that leads to...); and the ramen shop (where you must correctly identify the right combination of ingredients to place an order). Whether or not you "solve" each room in the allotted time, you will progress to the next, with your successes (and failures) noted and ranked for your inevitable disappointment, when you complete the challenge and end up back in the station lobby. Of all the challenge rooms, we apparently excelled at the boiler room, and managed to complete the ramen shop in the nick of time, but definitely failed to unlock all the secrets of junk alley and the marketplace. Partially I believe this is due to their being "too many cooks in the kitchen", as our party of five ended up with a couple of unhelpful tag-a-longs who weren't the most enthusiastic, or helpful, allies for our adventure. It only takes a couple of extra voices, or pairs of hands moving things around, to muddy the waters REAL fast. That said, that is not a mark against Himitsu Station, but a commentary on the nature of escape rooms (with randos) as a genre. Worth the price? Absolutely! Would I do it again? In a heartbeat! Even know, with a better understanding of how the puzzles are constructed and presented, the rooms we didn't solve to completion would still be worthy challenges full of welcome surprises. Hell, the ambiance alone is worth the price of admission: a stunning blend of Studio Ghibli/Spirited Away aesthetics coupled with a densha otaku's attention to detail, I don't think there is a comparably awesome interactive experience like this to be found anywhere in the United States. Honestly, Himitsu Station would probably work just as well if it were build beneath the streets of Tokyo, and that's probably the best compliment I could pay towards it. Very, very recommended!

The most unexpected thing about playing escape rooms in the Salt Lake City area is how many…read morebusinesses are mindful of the need for couple date-night experiences, and how cleverly they are able to tailor bigger rooms to suit smaller ones. Mystery Escape Room, with locations in Salt Lake City as well as Tucson, did just that with their European Café mystery game, Café Amour, which we picked because it was a 40-minute escape room designed for 2 people, and it was rated mildly challenging. When we were booking our game, we saw on the web site that Mystery Escape Room does not offer refunds on cancelled bookings, but are more than happy to reschedule our visit, or place our tickets on will call to be used at any time and does not ever expire, which was good, because it was a bit of a drive for us to get to The Gateway shopping mall in downtown Salt Lake City. We need not have worried, however: getting to The Gateway was not a bad drive at all on a Saturday morning. The standard mall parking offered off street have their own app so it took us a while to get out of the car, but a short walk through the mall concourse, then up and down the escalator later and we found ourselves at the escape room - 30 full minutes before opening time at noon! Happily, the door was unlocked, and we were able to seat ourselves in the lobby and look through the 3-D image books and Elf-on-a-Shelf photo album while waiting. There were also puzzles on the bookcase, which was held a surprise in itself. Our fantastic game host, Kiki, was able to fit us a whole half hour early, which was more than great, because it was already 98°F out at 11:30am, and there was scant shade in the outdoor mall. The introductory video was self-produced and very amusing, and just gave Kiki the exact amount of time to get the room ready early and show us into the very dark second lobby. The game started even before we entered Lobby 2, and even that was only the preamble to our real experience, which finally started after we made our way through a themed doorway. Café Amour is a perfect date-night (or day) G1 (very low-tech, with conventional locks and lots of brain work) game, which took us to the streets of old Europe, from the glass-stained windows to the wood-and-brick décor. The rules of the game were laid out clearly ahead of time, and Kiki was terrific keeping us on track - very important for a short-term room. Since this game is a more intimate game within at least two other rooms, we really appreciated the clear labels on what was not part of the game. Our favourite puzzle was the one we had to solve using playing cards, and although the word association puzzle was interesting, it was also confusing because it didn't seem in-theme. This probably had to do with the fact that Café Amour was part of a larger experience, and our exit also did not seem to fully complete the one (café mystery) experience. It was / is, however, a clever way to entice us to continue our escape room experience with them again. This was our only gripe, and why this is a four-star review rather than a 5. The short-term rooms at The Escape Date and A Great Escape (both previously reviewed) were more dedicated and focused. That said, we really enjoyed our time at Café Amour and the big perk was the freebie take-home at the end. There was a clock in the room that was not used but our time of 33:45 was meticulously tracked by Kiki, who actually did a five-star job. We remain constantly surprised by how ingeniously all the different rooms in Utah are conceptualized and built, and we are really appreciative of how all our game hosts so far have taken the trouble to appear in costume and character. Our games have not been just "our" games, and it's so refreshing to see gamemasters enjoying our game along with us. We can't wait to try out the other rooms offered by Mystery Room - and soon! This review has been posted on both Google and Yelp.

For what we paid, we were hoping for a more immersive and thrilling adventure. The facility itself feels older and a bit worn, both from the outside and once you're inside the rooms. The interiors and props could really use an update to match what other escape rooms are offering these days. The puzzles were okay, but there weren't many "wow" moments or surprises that made us feel like the game stood out. It wasn't a bad time, but compared to other escape rooms we've done, this one felt a little underwhelming for the cost and the dated environment. With some modernization of the sets and a bit more intensity or creativity in the puzzles, it could easily be a much more exciting experience.
