    I did two escape rooms with my friend. I booked the top secret and dracula rooms online for almost…read more40 dollars each after taxes. We were greeted by a friendly hostess, who made us sign waivers. A TV playing Looney Tunes was in the lobby. When we went to the room, a TV showed us the mission and timer, while there was a button to press for clues. The top secret room was well themed and had lots of good puzzles. Some of them were challenging, and we had to ask for clues. However, sometimes it did take some time to get the clues, and we were a bit stumped figuring it ourselves. Additionally, some clues given were for puzzles we already solved. Though, once we got the clues we needed, we were able to solve the puzzles. We also had to wait 5 minutes per getting another clue, which was fair. We got very lucky to escape successfully in Top Secret, but we may have received additional time as well. The Dracula room was a bit easier, as the puzzles were more understandable and easier to solve. We didn't have to use many clues, but when we did, they were given to us a bit faster than the other room. The theming was nice and was a bit spooky, but thankfully no jump scares unlike their other horror room, horror circus. We were able to escape that room with ample time left. After finishing the rooms, the staff asked us if we had any questions regarding the puzzles, and congratulated us after escaping the rooms. There was a tone when we got each clue, as well as the staff occasionally giving it to us in character. They did a great job keeping the immersion of the rooms. We were also thanked for playing before leaving the facility. For 40 dollars per person per room after taxes, I would say it was definitely worth it for the experience. The rooms are nicely themed, the staff were friendly and mostly helpful, and the puzzles were understandable. I was also happy that there weren't many locks and most puzzles made you interact with the equipment. I'm looking forward to doing more rooms with them, maybe one day I would be brave enough to do the jump scare horror circus room.

    We've been the one on Causeway and was blown away from the rooms there so we decided to try out…read moresome other rooms at this location and it did not disappoint one bit! We did the Horror Circus and Top Secret and each room is detailed to the core. No detail was left! We actually felt like we were there! Employees are super cool and helpful. I can't stop talking about how great Game Over is! If you've never done an escape room or don't like them, Game Over will make you become obsessive over them! We are obsessed and will do all of the rooms and try their other branch on 60! Seriously the best escape room in the nation!

My only gripe is the website stated, "An Evening in Paris...Treat your special Sweetheart to a romantic "Evening in Paris". Enjoy a glass of champagne and nibble on chocolate while you relax in our party room with your special Sweetheart." (http://www.escapecountdown.com/6525-s-tamiami-trail-sarasota-fl-34231/) ----- this page is #2 in the Google search for "Sarasota Escape Room". When I inquired about this, the young woman said, "Oh, does it still say that? That was only for Valentine's Day. We keep telling our web guy to take it down but he doesn't." Looking at the site again, it appears that description is on a page that is no longer included on the main site, but is still an active page showing up in searches. So, just delete the page? Regardless, we came in with expectations that were not met. Overall, it was fun but as this and other reviews indicate, there are some management/customer service issues that need to be ironed out to provide a flawless experience.
