I've done a couple of Escape Rooms before and this was by far the best one. I came with my wife and stepson, it was their first time and he really wanted to do an Escape Room. I did some research and the location and reviews of Boxroom led me to try it. We're all so glad we did. For beginners and kids they recommended the Merlin Room - it's still challenging! Kids still need to go with adults and you probably cannot solo this one - it really encourages teamwork. This made for great, memorable family time and even team building! I loved the theme, It's hard to talk about it too much without giving away surprises, but I can safely say that you won't be disappointed. The Merlin room is filled with mystery, magic, and the staff is so friendly and good, they made for a great experience. A couple of times we needed just a slight nudge or clue, and they gave exactly that, it was perfect and kept us engaged. We finished the room and felt so great, it was an immersive experience and my stepson already wants to come back next weekend to do the Pirates Room. We'll definitely be back. There's parking available on the street, it's on Hollywood Boulevard, so there's plenty to walk around and enjoy before or after your Escape Room experience - lots of nice restaurants there too. It's also about a 10 minute drive from Hollywood Beach. Great place! read more

First time at this escape room. Did the Operation Saving Hollywood room. First, the place looks like it could use an update. The waiting area in particular looks run down. As far as the room itself, if you Google, "what makes an escape room bad," you'll see a lot of it in this room. For example, some of the puzzles require subjective guessing rather than structured, deductive reasoning. One puzzle required entering a code by figuring out which 3 icons had to be entered in proper order. But, to figure out which icons, there were no clues about the icons themselves. You just had to start clicking on the icons to see if they were part of the sequence or not. So it was just click each icon randomly until the computer acknowledged it. Not really deductive. There was also a puzzle where we figured out the answer but couldn't find the lock. I don't want to give too much away but as someone who tries not to damage the hardware, the placement of the lock was awkward. Some the puzzles are also very linear in structure and forces everyone to stop so that one person does the puzzle. Not great with a group. And then, to top it off, the final puzzle has both a tedious time sink and a mechanical piece that didn't work well. I've been in challenging rooms but the solutions would have cool aha moments. Here, the clues and subsequent solutions would yield groans for the whole group. Some of the puzzles were neat but so many of them were just not well designed. read more

We had a great time in Merlin's Wizard Academy. It was a little hard but apparently one of the easier ones lol. Humbling to say the least. We had a walkie talkie to ask for hints which was very helpful. FYI, you aren't allowed to take videos or pictures inside but the set up is pretty cool. Would definitely recommend with a group. read more

I have done more than 15 escape rooms around the US, and Saving Hollywood has to be one of my favorites. We went yesterday with my family, for some of them it was their first escape room, and had an awesome time! The puzzles are challenging and super fun, and the staff is very friendly and professional. There were a lot of nice details I hadn't seen in other escape rooms. read more

What a fun time! We had a blast trying to get out of the pirate room. I was able to make an appointment the day before and checking-in was a breeze. We had to sign waivers and then we were all set to go. Our guide explained the rules and then told us a story to get us started. I don't want to give anything away about the room but it was very fun and exciting. Some clues were tough and it definitely kept you guessing. I came with my boyfriend and his two kids (10 and 12). We were all able to work together to figure out the clues. There is a fun twist at the end that we all really enjoyed. If you're in Hollywood for any about of time definitely check this place out! read more

Came here for a fun little date night and it did not disappoint. My date and I did the Haunted Pirate Ship room and little did we know, it would be all done in the dark! Luckily, we were able to escape with just two hints when we got to the final room but we did it! So much fun! I would recommend it! With the current Covid crisis going on, hand sanitizer was recommended prior to and after our escape. Masks on during our time in the room. read more

Had such a great time. The staff were attentive and helpful. It was our first time and we were satisfied with everything about the experience except that we ran out of town. Check this place out! read more

We had such a great time at box room escape. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the room was challenging and fun. I would recommend this escape room to anyone that is looking for this type of entertainment. read more

It was so much fun! Liz took care of us and I'm glad she did. They're allowed to give you as many hints as you want & Liz did an amazing job doing that. We did the intermediate pirate room and we were a bit scared that we wouldn't be able to finish but we did. I'm totally coming here again read more

This my first escape room experience and it was so much fun! We had a group of 6 and did the shipwreck themed room. It really made you think outside of the box and work together. The staff was extremely nice and carefully explained the rules of the game. We were able to get out with 19 minutes to spare and we're talking about it all night. Already waiting to do the next one! Thank you for the great night! read more

I'm glad that I got help because if I didn't you help me and my girlfriend would've been stuck in there forever

First ever experience Reservations online for 6 of us Family of 4 and grandparents Showed up and had street parking right in front Saturday afternoon Empty except for us in the lobby but sounded like other people in the rooms Didn't have a clue what to expect Had a great time Pre-teen, Mom & Grandpa enjoyed it most Would do it again with like-minded folks There's only 3 different scenarios or variations- so would want to make sure the next group is really diggin this type of thing read more

Employees were super patient with rescheduling and easy to talk to. Highly recommend this experience all around.

Escape reality for just an hour or so and immerse yourself in an alternate universe of adventure and imagination. With a small group of friends and family I attempted the escape room with the mission of Saving Hollywood by diffusing a bomb just before the 60 min deadline. With only a few helpful clues we completed the mission with just 30 seconds to spare. Not going to lie, it was difficult but very exciting! Definitely recommend but only with your most clever compadres. read more

It's not bad. I have seen many Escape rooms and this one (although not the greatest one of all) was still fun. I really didn't like their policy of charging per participant vs per game as I have seen in other places. How is it relevant how many people are playing if it still the same set up and same one hour of attending personnel ? ... in addition to that they won't allow children under 18 to be without a parent (who will be required to buy a ticket). I understand small kids should be supervised, but 12, 15, 17 year olds? Seems unnecessary. But either than that, people there were mostly friendly and helpful and we did have fun. read more

As someone who has done 50+ rooms this was above average but nothing special. There was certain things without ruining the experience for others that were basically impossible to know or do. The flow of the room was lacking and again just hard to explain to someone who hasn't done the room before. If you are looking to do the room because it's local and there's nothing else going on i suggest doing it but don't go out of your way. read more

Kam is awesome! Enjoyed the experience and well run by staff. Thanks! Had a great time.

We arrived 15 minutes after they were supposed to be open for our room and the door was locked and no one was there. We called the number and no one picked up. About 10 minutes later our game master showed up. Then the pirate ship room was out of date. At least 3 technical aspects of the room didn't work as they were intended which obviously caused some frustration. There were a few interesting aspects and the aesthetic was nice overall read more

So i had never done an escape room before. My friend wanted to do one and asked me to go with her, so we got a group together and went to boxroom. We got there a little early and had to wait for 1 more of our party to show up to start. Our game master was Alexis, and she answered all the questions we had while we waited for our +1. While you wait for the room to be available or for your group to get there, they have a variety of games and puzzles and even a VR machine to play in the lobby. Boxroom has 3 rooms. Merlins secret chamber, a haunted pirate ship, and one where you have to save Hollywood from a terrorist attack as a secret agent. One of the cool things about boxroom is their rooms are very technology heavy, and not reliant on padlocks like most escape rooms. As I said above, Alexis was our game master, and she was delightful and made sure we had a great time. We started with the merlin room, and it was really fun. We finished it in abput 33 minutes. We had so much fun in fact that we decided to do a second room after, and did the save Hollywood room. The save Hollywood room is the hardest room they have and we finished with about 8 minutes to spare. If you find yourself in Hollywood and have an hour to kill, deff check this spot out! read more

We went to the Haunted House with my 11 years old son. Fantastic experience! We both were scared and super excited at the same time! Definitely recommend read more

My partner and I had a blast here! It was out first time lol so we got stuck but the staff gave us a tip or 2 and we were fortunate enough to "escape"; the entire process was exhilarating tbh. We enjoyed our time and will be coming back! read more

Liz was super friendly, very welcoming. My friend and I made a last minute booking to try this out. I had a great experience a bit on the pricey side I would say. But definitely fun. I like the wall decor. My friend and I got to finish Merlin's quest. And we had so much fun trying to solve this room. I even took photos in the lobby because I enjoyed the wall art. I would definitely return in the future. read more

This escape room, while not the most difficult I've ever done, was a blast to complete. Our game master was very nice and attentive, and tried his best to give us clues when he saw that we were on the right track but needing a little bit of reassurance or guidance. The room itself was clever, although had a little too many distractions, and it was very fun to solve. Ultimately we finished with a few minutes to spare after asking for one or two hints. Once the rooms get updated we will definitely be going back for more ! read more

If you are looking for something fun and interactive to do you need to try this! My boyfriend and I did all 3 of the rooms and they were all so much fun! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! Major shout out to Liz for being such an amazing game master! read more

Boxroom Escape Games - Kids loved it! - Escape Games Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

I'll admit, I had no idea what an escape room even was and wasn't too interested in finding out. Not that I had anything against it, I just wasn't curious about it. Then a thing happened. A huge thing. A milestone. The end of an era. My 50th Birthday. Since my 17th birthday, I have not been especially fond of my birthday. I am a social butterfly who enjoys alone time. My birthday is a nice day to get this alone time because people will give you what you ask for. Unless of course those people are anything like my lovely wife of 21 years. In which case, I get what she wants. We worked on my business and she kept telling me we had to go because she had made reservations. She wouldn't tell me for what. Long story short: We went to an escape room. It was the two of us, our daughter Emily, and two dear friends, Jose and Holly. * I am happy to point out that I was the second youngest person in this group. Beaten only by a teenager. I rule! An escape room is basically a themed room where you and your party are locked in and you have to find and decipher clues to work your way out. It requires teamwork, cooperation, and creativity. We were able to work together and I can honestly say that by the time we were out, everyone had contributed, even the birthday boy, who has the attention span of a fruit fly. The rooms are themed. Ours was a haunted pirate ship. We had an hour to get out and save the shipment of rum before the tide came in, leaving us all sad and sober. Luckily, we broke free. Sadly, the rum was all gone, probably consumed by greedy pirate ghosts! What we did leave with, were great memories and something to laugh about over dinner. I recommend stopping by to see them next time you're in Hollywood, FL. read more

So much fun! They front desk staff are very friendly and patient. They have several different rooms to choose from and all very unique. I've been here a few times and look forward to going back soon to try another themed escape room! read more

The escape room at Boxroom was one of the best experiences I've had yet. It's located on Hollywood Blvd. I went with a group of 5 and we can all agree that we had a great time. In the waiting area, they also had games you could play with while they set up your room as well as a VR machine. This location has three rooms to choose from: Merlin's Wizarding Academy, Haunted Pirate Shipwreck, and Operation Saving Hollywood. We ended up picking the Hollywood one, which was listed as the one with the most difficulty. The staff was very clear on instructions and we ended up finishing with 10 minutes left on the clock. If you are ever in the area with a group, I highly recommend checking this place out, it's a fun and unique experience. Check online for pricing specials and you can book online to make it easy for you. read more

Avid escape room enthusiast here. This place is a great time. We did two rooms back to back and it was a great family friendly experience. The area is nice with plenty to do. read more

Last night was my first experience here and my first experience at an escape room, period. This was so fun! It was a lot harder than I expected, but James, our guide, helped us through when we got stuck. He was great! We did the Pirate Room and I can't wait to go back and try another option. Thanks guys! I will definitely be back and will definitely recommend to others. read more

We came into town to visit our daughter and wanted to explore the local area. We booked our reservations online. Arrived to a welcoming staff and great environment. We did our scheduled escape and loved it! We completed the room before our time was up. Enjoyed it so much that we booked another one for an hour or so later. Great staff, great fun and we highly recommend it. We will be back when we visit. COVID-19 safe environment as well, everything was clean and safe. read more

Great rooms with intricate puzzles. Not you typical escape room with lock after lock. We'll thought out! Briona is a great host, lots of laughs and a great personality! Will be going back to try other rooms! Highly recommend. read more

We were visiting from out of town and staying at an AirB&B that was within walking distance of downtown Hollywood. We came inside the shop late Thursday night and the employee kindly explained each room. She mentioned that the pirate game had a 12pm opening the following day, so we had the option of booking it. After comparing prices for this escape room vs others that were on Groupon, I called early Friday morning and left a voice message asking if they would be willing to honor the Monday/Tuesday price for a group of 5. Even at that price point, they are still slightly higher than the Groupon deals, but we were willing to pay more as long as it wasn't Friday pricing. Unfortunately, no one ever called me back. The answering machine said they open at 10:30am, and I called 3 more times between then and 11:50am. I saw online the 12pm slot was still available for pirates, but nobody ever answered the phone. read more
