Good and not so good…read more.. On the plus side, the staff was VERY pleasant and helpful. We were greeted with smiles, and all of our questions were answered. After a brief introduction and sharing of their rules, we were ushered into our room, The Cure, for the one-hour puzzle-solving session. That's where the not-so-good part starts. While this was my first visit to Bonds, I've done several, maybe six or seven (I think that's safe to say again) escape rooms before this one. Based on that experience, this was the most basic in terms of room setup and contents. Everything was well used and occasionally overused. Think beat up or threadbare. Combination locks are common in escape rooms, and this one had plenty. If memory serves, there were six or seven of them. It was irritating that some of the locks had their numbers rubbed off, making it difficult to enter the combination, even after we figured out what it should be. Another issue is their use of red herrings. We wasted too much of our hour trying to figure out how they contributed to the ultimate solution. A final issue is that some steps might be solved correctly without a clear indication that anything had changed. For example, you enter a code on a keypad on one side of the room, and a drawer opens somewhere else. If I do decide to try another Bond's escape room, I'll ask to see it first. It's one thing to configure a room to represent part of a hospital or medical laboratory, and another thing entirely to allow it to be so overused that what's left affects my enjoyment of the experience. And as a suggestion to Bond's, replacing a few of the combination locks, probably costing $10 each, would have made things a lot better.

We always have an amazing time at Bond's! They make the most interactive and challenging escape…read morerooms in the DMV and offer great prices. They give all sorts of discounts like GMU student and if you book your next escape room after completing one, you get a discount too. The Save the White House escape room was incredibly fun and interactive. The room is full of props and sounds that make the experience more life like. It's also very well designed and incorporates many aspects of Washington D.C. They have free parking on site and are located in the City of Fairfax.

My wife and I have done 2 escape rooms at Escapology and we've had a great time in both. The first…read moreone we did was The Code which was solid, had a good amount of locks and puzzles. Some stuff wasn't working functionally (specifically some scanning puzzles) but still a good time and we got out. The second room we did was Who Stole the Mona Lisa which was more difficult. No locks and almost all puzzles/riddles. Very difficult and had to max out our clues but we also got out. We had a weird glitch happen mid-game but our game master Avery was really helpful in setting us back up to restart. Pretty busy area in Fairfax Corner but there is plenty of parking within a block of the building. If you love escape rooms, this place has multiple rooms for everyone.

If you like a good brain teaser with a friendly/helpful staff, this place is for you…read more So,we came on a Saturday afternoon and did the room called The Code- Cyber Heist, which was supposedly one of the easier rooms. Butttt, it wasn't at all easy for us lol. I wish I could say that we got out the room with NO or minimal clues lol but we were often very clueless lol prompting the need for more and more clues. With ALL of the workers help via the clues and fixing the tv screen, we managed to get out of the room in time. Overall, this was a good experience. The Code- Cyber Heist was definitely mentally challenging, causing us to ponder plans to solutions for a lengthy amount of time.

This is the nicest escape room that I've been to that offers a coffee bar (I've done 20+ rooms)…read more The room was very well thought out and followed a storyline. There are no padlocks to open in this room, which is very different from the majority of escape rooms that just lock up clues to puzzles. We had a great experience and would highly recommend this room for escape game fans. They use a high quality camera to take your picture and it's emailed to you later on the day. They currently have one escape room and are building out a second room.

Phenomenal experience! Cant recommend this enough!!! Super kind owner, he's so personable. He's…read morereally thought through everything for this experience. It makes it so fun that it's such an elaborate story with so many details to add into it. PHENOMENAL tech. This isn't your average "put the key in the lock", it's tech like I didn't know escape rooms could have. The inside of this place is pure luxury, don't let the outside fool you. The waiting room feels like a club. It's an experience in itself. Plenty of parking too which is a perk.

My family and I booked the tour for 1:30 pm. NO ONE showed up which was a complete waste of time…read more We needed a code to get into the building and that wasn't provided previously in the email. My family and I had the call the facility back so many times. They never called back, I had to keep calling. Then they said they could send someone out. Not being respectful of anyone's time when I'll booking was at 1:30 and this was after 1:30 when they wanted to try to send someone out. Never said how long that would even be. No one should ever go here. I am furious!

This was…read moremy first time doing an escape room, so I have nothing to compare it to; however, I do know a lot about customer service, and I was impressed with Catherine. She was so lovely and helpful, and helped make our experience great. Will definitely come back to try another theme. One star removed because the building was a bit hard to find. A sign in a window or the front door would help a lot.

Family suggested to come here. Been once a few years back and had a good time so we were excited…read more Did the Magician's Workshop and had a lot of fun. Very good puzzles and multiple rooms. Probably one of the better rooms I've been to. So good, that we booked a room right after and did the Maritime Mutiny. Also super fun and had a lot of creative puzzles too. We love the idea of collecting the pins and are looking forward to coming back soon to get the big one!

It's best to register online versus on site to ensure you get to play. You can choose from 2 hours, 4 hours or all day play and prices vary during the week and weekend and duration. I recommend wearing comfortable clothes you can move easily in and sneakers! Your time starts after you log in at the kiosks. Staff will direct you. I would recommend grabbing a locker first if you need one because it tends to fill up fast (lockers are free). You definitely don't want to be lugging around a purse or have stuff holding you down. Create an account online after you pay online to expedite the check in process. We purchased our tickets a week in advance for a Saturday morning. Make sure to allot for plenty of time to park and arrive 15 minutes prior to your start time. Ours was 10am when they first opened. Staff was pretty efficient and orderly and they opened at 10 am sharp. Make sure to have your reservation code ready. They have two lines outside the venue. One for reservations and another line for walk ups. If you want to try as many rooms as possible on your one visit, you probably want to just try a room once. Although some rooms can become addicting and you will want to try multiple times like we did. You can see if there is a wait on the top right of the screen outside a room. It will state how many minutes are left. If you scanned in you can delete your log in if you don't want to wait. They also have various artwork which contains specific glyphs you can hunt for. Duel games which are outside the rooms where you can compete against one other person. I would have loved to have done the art scavenger hunt as well but we focused more on the rooms. Definitely click on the screen and read the hints and how to play before scanning to start your game. They have a place to order food (Victory brewing)and plenty of restrooms. Although we didn't order food or drink. If you get parched. They have water stations with cups. I think there is a way to pause your time is you're eating but i'm not sure how. Once your time is up, it will let you know when you try to scan the band it will say.

I apologize, but feel my review needs to be divided into two separate sections…read more Review of actual escape room (WITHOUT SPOILERS): It was a lot of fun and definitely worth the money. My wife and I both found it challenging and engaging. The room says it accommodates 2-6 individuals; however, I think it would be a great activity for just 2-3. I felt more than 4 would be a little tight. Review of the staff: I called about a month ahead of time to reserve the escape room for my wife's birthday. Normally, Escape Room Manassas is closed on Tuesdays (the day we went); however, a staff member (I assume the manager) opened just for us. It was such a nice gesture. Additionally, he was helpful and had such a friendly attitude. We will definitely go back once the next room is open. Thanks!!!!

We had seasoned veterans and a newbie and everyone had a good time.

Our host, Dwight, was very friendly, and gave very good clues when we required help without having to give away the answers. He made our experience even better! We will be back to try their other rooms, and we recommend others giving them a shot too! Only complaint-- the location is in what looks to be a doctor's office with no sign outside that's visible from the road. The only confirmation we got that we were at the right place was that the name is on the building directory by the elevator.

The review for the catering was EXCEPTIONAL! VERY SATISFIED. I could not get the other review selections to work so I will also comment here on the team presentation and other aspects of the event We waited about 45 minutes to get into the event space. This was very unfortunate and embarassing. The presenter was late because of traffic. There should be someone to open the door for your customers at least 30 minutes before an event. We brought bagels and breakfast so we could have waited inside and networked until the presenter arrived. Very unprofessional. The presentation was good but it could have been great. These type presentations should be tailored to the specific customer needs and business. When I booked the event, someone should have asked me then what kind of business my company did. A little time before hand finding out the customer and adding a few things into that presentation would have made it more relevant because in many areas it was informative and fun. More interaction, ice breakers keeps an audience engaged. Proof slides, grammar and spell checking should always be done. So many misspellings in the slides makes it appear less professional. Our team did 2 escape rooms. The overall rooms were fun and we had a great time. And even more so after the food came and as said before the food from Mavianno's was delicious!!!
