My first escape room and this didn't disappoint. It was just my wife and I, so we picked one of…read morethe smallest (suggested number of players) that I can find. I booked during late Sunday afternoon for a Monday 10am session, and it went as smooth as it can get. Our host James did a fantastic job, totally in character from the moment he opened the door, and always showed enthusiasm through out the experience. Most of the clues require some thinking and wasn't particularly hard, but we would have been stuck if we didn't holla at James a couple times for help. We finished with three minutes to spare, I believe this is a good escape room for smaller group that isn't super experienced. For anyone that is more cautious around Covid stuff like us, our host had his mask on properly the entire time. Thank you for an awesome experience James!

Oooohhh man this one was fun! The clues were great the area was small but we had a small group so…read moreit was perfect! Be ready when you pull up because it's just an old apartment building diverted into "offices" there is little street parking so do not leave things in your car! Make sure everyone is with you when you knock on the door, my hubby walked away to the bathroom the second we did so the guide had to do the intro twice but he was fantastic! The room got hot (it is very small, maybe 8x8) so wear something comfy and just a side note outta normal BUT you can't bring your purse in with you, and there isn't a safe place to lock your stuff up, just in the room your guide is in. We spent 150 for 5 people to play which .. Really is pretty expensive, that is pretty much my only con especially since it was a tiny room with most things coming from the good will .

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.

The escape room itself was a stunning blend of elaborate design and cutting-edge technology, creating an immersive experience that truly captivated us. We tackled the "Locomotive" scenario, where we found ourselves aboard a speeding train on the brink of disaster. The pressure was on as we raced against time to solve intricate puzzles and prevent the impending crash. This challenge was no walk in the park; it demanded our utmost teamwork and clever divide-and-conquer strategies. Some puzzles were particularly subtle, pushing our problem-solving skills to the limit. But with determination and collaboration, we cracked them just in time, ultimately saving the day and averting the train wreck! (And we didn't even ask for any hints from the staff!) The quality and complexity of this escape room experience left us thoroughly impressed, and we can't wait to return for new scenarios when they rotate. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure that tests your wits and teamwork, I highly recommend checking out "Cornered"!

It was definitely more challenging than I was expecting but our teamwork was unstoppable! The employee is great! He plays one of the characters and does a great job staying engaged. You can ask for hints if you're really stumped. You're not completely locked in so if you have to use the restroom or have an emergency you can kind of come and go. Price is reasonable. Parking was a breeze. They have their own lot and there is also street parking available.

This experience was absolutely amazing! My group had booked for the Frozen Forest storyline when…read morewe arrived, and I've got to say, you would be so surprised with how much engagement is involved. The service was very nice, allowing for free hints or questions you can ask them on a iPad, so even if you're stuck, you still have chance to get clues. The puzzles, while challenging, are very creative for anyone to enjoy and can be a memorable. The ambience in the room can feel immersive and have the whole group be cautious. Either way, if you pick (or don't pick) the Frozen Forest room, each one will bring a complicated, amazing time for your team!

Absolute Five Stars for Escapology!…read more We tackled the Scooby-Doo escape room, and wow... it was one of the most challenging rooms I've ever done. I've never failed to escape before, but this one got us! We were literally one or two steps away when the clock ran out. It was frustrating, but at the same time, incredibly entertaining. I have to admit, I felt like I let my son down because he was really hoping we'd beat it. When you're paying for an escape room, it definitely stings a little when you don't make it out. But honestly, that's part of what makes it such a great experience it leaves you wanting another shot. Pro tip: Bring four or five people if you can. There are so many clues, puzzles, and different things happening at once that having extra sets of eyes makes a huge difference. It's easy to lose time chasing the wrong clue or overlooking something that's right in front of you. Escapology in Clackamas/Happy Valley is top-notch. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and full of creative, immersive rooms with different themes and adventures. The puzzles are clever, the atmosphere pulls you in, and the whole experience keeps you engaged from start to finish. Yes, it's a little on the pricey side, but you only live once. It's a fantastic activity for families, friends, date nights, birthdays, or team-building. Even if you don't escape, you'll leave talking about the experience and laughing over everything you missed. We'll definitely be back for a rematch. Highly recommended!

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!

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!

From the moment…read morewe stepped into the room, our game master set the tone--staying completely in character and making the whole experience feel super immersive and engaging. We hit a couple of snags during the game, but the staff offered timely and helpful hints that kept the momentum going without giving too much away. They struck the perfect balance between challenge and support. After the game, they even helped one of our group members book another escape room for later in the day, which was above and beyond what we expected. Friendly, fun, and super professional throughout. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for something exciting and unique to do--especially with teens or a mixed-age group. We'll definitely be coming back to try another room!
