We played "The Sorcerer and the Fountain of Hope". Nick our game master did a great job explaining everything and introducing us to the game. Very fun room to play I would recommend it to others in the area. read more

Had a great time! We did the sorcerer escape room and it was a blast. Nick was super helpful without giving too much away.

Nick provided a great experience. He was very helpful in providing clues when we got stuck.

Nick was great and this was so much fun!! We finished in record time due to our great team. I would highly recommend any of the rooms.

Our game master was Nick, this was a couple days ago. We had an incredible time! Such a cool place and great service! My wife and our two kids completed one of the rooms and are excited to come back again soon. read more

Another fun experience with Atlas as our host. We did not beat the clock/ escape so will need to challenge ourselves again in a future visit! We appreciated the kind guidance of Atlas when we asked for help. Probably would not recommend this escape for only two people as many of the activities were timed and seemed to need several people to get through the challenge in the time allotted. read more

Fantastic family friendly place to challenge your skills!! We did not get out but can not wait to go back and try a different room.

We had an amazing time today. First time escape room venture. Nick our host was outstanding, explained everything throughly and was very helpful with his hints to assist us with this venture. One thing for sure, you better be smarter than a 5th grader. read more

Had a great time with my friends! We didn't quite end up victorious... but Orion on the staff was helpful and chill. I'd definitely go again, this time equipped with better critical thinking skills read more

We had so much fun doing the U-Boat room. Nick, was a great guide. I am sure he got more laughs at us than we did. He was definitely a highlight of the experience. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. If you get a chance to go when he is working, you will have a great experience. read more

What a fabulous and fun adventure for the whole family! Imagine using your brain to figure out intriguing puzzles. What's better than that? Spending time with friends and family, of course. Incidentally, my family came here for my son's birthday. Needless to say, we all adore mental puzzles and enjoy spending time together. All in all, we had a great time and made it out just with minutes to spare. Indeed if you like trying to solve beguiling and thought-provoking puzzles this is the recreational event for you. Instead of watching a movie where you can't communicate or get to know your family why not try solving mysteries together. read more

We had a lot of fun this was our first time in an Escape room. It was definitely a challenge! Atlas was great! We will visit again soon and try a different room. read more

Did the Centurion heist escape room with my team and Nick was such a fun game master! Gave us clear instructions and helpful hints when needed. It was such a good time and I am excited to try the other rooms. Hopefully we get Nick as our master again! Thank you!!!! read more

Nick was great! Helped with clues and was very enthusiastic! Over all great experience, would recommend for team building exercises!

Nick was an amazing game master! Give that man a raise!!! Super fun choices for rooms as well. Highly recommend. read more

The sorcerer room was fun. We beat the room with 12 min left. Our game master Nick was great. 5 stars

When you visit the GSR schedule a time for the escape room, you won't be disappointed. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We had an awesome time. We chose The Centrurion Heist and broke into three rooms. So much fun. Be prepared to use your math skills for this room. Rachael was our concierge and she was a great sport. A must try when staying here. read more

alec is chill asl best helper . he helped us w all our hints and he was super duper cool. so was bella. bella was so so sweet and listened to our weird friend's storied and theories. read more

Ashley was amazing! She is so friendly and go out of her way to help us book and made our experience so enjoyable. The escape room is so fun and so smart! The heist really made us feel like we were in a movie. Everyone had a blast! We did the Magician last year and it was fun! Next year we will try one of the other 2 U Boat or the Secret Society. Thank you for everything Ashley! God Bless! read more

Break Through Reno - Beat the Heist! Will try expert next time! - Challenge Courses Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This Yelp review is for the branch located at the Grand Sierra Resort. First of all I have to mention, this is the second escape room I have done in Reno and like the other one, this does not disappoint! Our reservations were for 7:15 and our hostess Cassie I believe her name was, was just as amazing as our host at another venue. I love the costumes they wear for the old hotel and bell service, it's totally cute. So yes, it located downstairs across from the arcade in GSR. Super convenient since that is where we stay when in Reno. When you walk in, as I mentioned it is themed like an old hotel with a bell person up front. They have different types of rooms and I just have to tell you without giving anything away, don't let the entrance fool you. It may look small, but there are many surprises, at least for the one we did. They also have a regular mode and challenge mode for those of you who consider themselves experts. My family and I will definitely be coming back to do more and I suggest you go and try it out too. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time because it gets pretty filled up. read more

Tried asking for hints multiple times and got no response for about 15 min so we had to physically leave the room and go talk to the manager. Which wasted our time read more

Went here with my girlfriend and we did the U-boat escape. Rylee made the experience much better with her helpful and friendly personality. Even though we didn't finish the room, because we were so close to the end, Rylee showed us the rest so we could see how it ends. Definitely plan on going back! read more

Our family did this escape room and what a gem! We like the brain teasers that we had to figure out. Our family did the heist theme room and it was a great surprise that we actually escaped with 1 min and 20 secs! Everything laid out and no mistakes in preparing the room either, (our last escape room had a detail on clock with incorrect #) If staying for a weekend, go online and prepare ahead to save time with waivers and prefered time for your experience. Would come back next time we visit. read more

We did the Scull & Scepter room. Very well functioning room! Everything worked how it was supposed to, and we especially liked how the things that matched were obvious. Other rooms I've been to weren't so clear and you wasted lots of time running around praying to find a match trying every combination possible. Also, the clues that were given to you were very efficient. Essentially, the language of the clues was very clear. Also, it was a nice level of difficulty - not super easy but not impossible. Solid easy to moderate puzzle. Caden was our game master and he was very clear, not judgmental, and helpful when we needed clues. He clearly knew the rooms well and knew exactly how we needed help. read more

This was such a great experience! Our Game Master was nice, friendly and helpful. Our group of 6 had 2 experienced escape artists and 4 newbies. He definitely made us feel comfortable and excited to start the experience. For starters, make sure you call ahead and set an appointment. The Game Masters (GM) have to physically reset all of the clues for every experience so you want them to be ready for you! When we arrived, we were led into a back room where everyone had to sign waivers since you are indeed being locked in a room. At this point you can go to the bathroom, and lock up any extra belongings in provided lockers that you don't want to take with you into the room like purses or your phone (which they ask that you don't use in the room and spoil the experience for others by posting pictures). The GM then gives a brief intro about the general rules (what not to touch, what you can touch, what not to break etc.) and you watch a video about the "mission." Our group did the NINJA Protocol and went in with a goal to break the fastest time record of approximately 27 mins with a maximum of 3 clues from the GM. If you do set the record, your ENTIRE group gets free T-shirts! Unfortunately for our group, while we did get out with 20 minutes of the 1 hour time to spare, and only used 2 clues, we did not set the record for free shirts. A note, there are no limits to clues if you are not trying to set the record! The only thing keeping you from endless clues is your own pride! At the end of the experience we successfully escaped and took our group victory picture! This was so much fun and I was already looking forward to going back again and trying the other rooms. Don't forget to check-in with Yelp for a little goodie! Will definitely be back! read more

so much fun! We attempted the Diamond heist room with just the two of us ( myself and my adult daughter ) and while we did very well - we still failed to find the last 3 clues in time to avoid arrest. It was very challenging and alot of fun for both of us! Thank you Nick for your tips and excellent hosting. read more

Fantastic best escape room experience we've had so far. The Decor element was exactly perfect for the theme. Very challenging even at a beginner level. We loved it. read more

This is the spot inside GSR and we really liked the 2 rooms we did here. The submarine and the casino themes were epic and really had us on our toes but we figured it out eventually. Its awesome to be able to stay at the hotel and enjoy this place at same time. read more

Amazing experience! This was our first experience at an escape room and a very memorable one. Thank you Eli for making this experience such a great one! Awesome customer service! read more

Went here with a group of friends. I think the price was reasonable(about what you would pay for movie and a popcorn) We did apartment 13. If no one else is waiting i wish they had a feature to pay more to keep going if you have not solved the room (which we had not). Other than ending before we solved it (we were sooooo close) I had a great time and we all laughed a lot. I will go here again and choose a different puzzle. read more

Alex was great. I don't suggest taking children or a larger group. Also for the price I would expect things to be a little cleaner and upscale. My "job description" had more food on it then my dinner plate on laminated paper and it would be great to get an explanation before going in. read more

Nick was a great game master, he made the experience so much fun and very enthusiastic. The game was very interactive and they give you props to help solve the rooms. Would give 6 stars if I could! read more

My friends and my sister and I went and Caden was amazing!! He made the experience even better!

This was so fun ! It was our first time doing an escape room and we did it with our kids and everyone had a blast. The people there were so friendly and they were very helpful. Not only did we go once but the following day we ended up booking another one! Now the kids want to do this all the time! Would highly recommend to people especially if you love puzzles! read more

Wow this was so fun! "Ian" our game master was super helpful and we enjoyed having him on our team. This was exciting and a great family team effort. We did the u boat room. It was difficult but fun! Can't wait for the next one! read more

Caden was awesome! Wouldn't have been able to do it without the service and support from Caden! Thank you! We will be back!

My wife and I did all 4 rooms during our anniversary getaway. All 4 were challenging but fun. The staff is also very friendly. We had an awesome experience. read more

We played the Centurion Heist with our family of four - two parents and two young adult kids. Online advance reservations were simple to get just a couple days in advance. I definitely wouldn't recommend showing up without a reservation. We had so much fun in the room, found the staff to be helpful and encouraging, and made the experience feel very authentic. We will absolutely be back and hopefully able to try it with a larger group sometime. read more

The review is a little late but necessary! We scheduled the Centurion Heist for August 17, expert mode. My 2 sibs and I had all done an escape room before but my uncle had not and didn't know what to expect. Atlas was amazing as a game master! It was so difficult but once we got on a roll we had it going! As time ticked down, we only had a few more puzzles to complete. Atlas walked in, we asked how many we had left and how to solve the one we were stuck on, we realized one prop was out of place so we were given a few extra minutes to try and complete the room! We left after we finished, walked halfway down the hall and turned around to book another room. Tip: U Boat is the hardest room. Still super fun, but definitely difficult! Thank you Atlas for a wonderful experience! read more

My grandson (13) & I did the U-Boat adventure. It was a blast! Challenging, but the clues Eli Lind, our Break Through guide, gave to us via walkie-talkie were great. Thanks for a memorable adventure! Ps... Eli was great!! read more
