Super fun escape room with actor elements involved. The puzzles were pretty creative…read more They had quite a few scenarios to choose from. We were in the Frozen Forest scenario with 10 people and was able to escape with 13 minutes left. The material and everything that built out the room were great quality production. I would definitely try this place again.

We were I. Portland for meetings. We came to Escape Games PDX for a team building outing…read more The staff here was nice and explained the games to us before we went in. During the game play we could ask for clues, we needed many, ha, ha. The clues they gave were helpful and helped us push on to eventually solve it with only less than a minute on the clock. We did the Tales from the Attic room. I won't give away any of the room, I will only say it was kind of like a mystery game of hang man to fill in the clues as we found them. It was different than other escape rooms I have done, but it was fun figuring out the clues to fill in the puzzles. I believe they have 4 different escape rooms here and I am sure they are all just as fun. If you are looking for a fun group activity, work outing, birthday party, etc. I would recommend an escape room and if in the Portland area check out Escape Games PDX. If you solve the game, you can pick a little key trinket as well and go up in the leader board if you solve it fast enough. We unfortunately did not make the leader board. Enjoy!

10/10 experience- Jake was the absolute best! Loved that they emailed you results after along with…read moreany pics you took. I don't think I've come across that anywhere in SD. We did the Prison Heist room because a couple of us had never done an Escape Room before and it seemed like a perfect starter room. Loved that the room is non-linear and the clues were all cohesive. You had a choice of dressing the part as they had inmate costumes readily available. The door is never locked so you can get out if needed. Also, for this room, there is no clock. Your gamemaster will let you know once you have 30 and 10 minutes left. Jake gave us fantastic clues and didn't make us feel like idiots for asking. I feel like we asked for only maybe a handful of clues. We escaped with about 11 minutes to spare. Loved that they had merch for each specific room. Makes it easier to grab a souvenir. We also were able to pick out a tiny key as our prize for escaping. Cute touch. Good job, Escape Games PDX!

Pretty good spot. We found this place last minute on 1st January as most of the escape room in town…read morewas booked out or closed. We went for damage control as that was one of two escape room that was still available on a busy New Year's day. I was super glad to find a escape room activity that day. However I felt the there was just too much of puzzles to be solved with the Damage Control themed room. To be honest the first 40-45 minutes was pretty fun. However the kind of trap and puzzles started to get bit repetitive as we moved. We definitely avoided the ship collision but couldn't finish all puzzles in time. They have rated it as standard but I felt it was more difficult than that. Not because the puzzles were really difficult but because they were so many !

Probably one of my least favorite escape rooms I have done so far. It was a pretty crammed space…read more The puzzles were pretty linear so you could only really work on one puzzle at a time which left most of the group just watching. When we got stuck they kept just giving clues to something we did not need to do so we were stuck about 15 minutes until we figured it out. It felt like they were not paying attention. And at the cost you pay per person I would expect a better experience. The props/puzzle and environment were great quality though the room did get pretty toasty. Def been to better local escape rooms.

We got a good discount on our party and I believed we paid $18-20pp on this night. I had some complaints about the room...mainly one of the light bulbs needed to solve a puzzle was burnt out and we weren't aware of that until spending a long time trying to figure it out. Another group prior had damaged one of the clues by getting a book wet and red dye was all over the prop which made it difficult to solve another puzzle. Another one of the props was made with really thin paper and the ink bled thru so it was difficult knowing which side of the page to use to solve the puzzle. The theme was pretty weak and the immersion was really poor and it didn't feel really creative to us when compared to the 3 other rooms we've done prior. Despite the discount...we still sorta felt like we didn't get our moneys worth.

Josh was a great guide giving us clues or nudges when needed to move us along and was very tolerant of our curious 5 year olds questions and energy. The kids are already asking when we can go again! I was the only one who had much experience in escape rooms, so although we did not make it out together we still had a great time solving the clues we could. The room was quite interactive with several elements you had to engage with in just the right way, rather than just a series of locks to open. Definitely challenging for us but maybe that just means we need to come back and have more practice!

We had a great time.

This place offers at least one great escape room, and I'm eager to try the others. We booked them…read morefor a grownup birthday party. We provided the party room (the common room in an apartment complex) and they brought the puzzles, the props, the ambiance, and great show-runners. They totally transformed the common room into a magician's lair, with a nice story and a fun setup. The goal of the setup was to unlock six or so locks, which would allow the magician to escape the box of death. In order to unlock the six locks, we had to unravel about 20 puzzles, which I won't describe here because I don't want to spoil them. I appreciated, though, that the puzzles were all different kinds of puzzles, so everyone could find something they could contribute. The magician themed room was medium-hard. I am told they have some rooms that are easier and some rooms that are harder. We are looking forward to doing their more challenging room at some point in the future. I also appreciated that the people working the event stayed in character and provided a lot of good energy. We had about 20 people at the party, so they had to run the escape room two times. It took about 15 minutes between runs to reset the room. They packed up in half an hour and left the room in great shape. We couldn't be happier with this booking, and I am already fantasizing about booking them again for another room.
