I absolutely LOVE Escape the Room activities. I dragged a group of six people out to Escape 20/20 in Okemos, it was the first one for 1/2 of us. We chose the Parlor room. It is one room, you're locked in, and you get the 'exit early' code to leave if something horrible happens. So you're not truly stuck in the room, so people with claustrophobia can still enjoy this activity! There are a series of puzzles you have to solve, and a lot of locks you have to unlock. Some require keys, some require codes. There are clues hidden all around the room, but if your team is really stuck, you're handed hints (paper 'telegrams' pushed through a mail slot) to help you look in the right area and solve the puzzles. If you're still not getting it, the hints get more and more detailed. They want you to solve the room, after all! We broke free in 49 minutes - which was a great time! We had a full 11 minutes left to go. Other Escape the Room activities I've been to have been multiple rooms - so as you progress through the story, you open doors to other areas. In order to fit more rooms into this office building, it seems like they opted to keep each room self contained in one room. There were still a ton of puzzles to solve, but I like the feeling of progression as I open doors and get further into the activity. The location of this game is in an office building. It seems like a converted dentist/doctor, which is just like the previous activities I've gone to. This is a great way to spend an hour with friends. I was in town for only a couple days, so we reached out via Facebook to see if we could book the room on their 'closed' day, and they obliged! Then we found out there were two other groups who did the same thing. Great customer service! I highly recommend checking this spot out. I will be back next time I'm in town! (I also broke an entire tray of glass bottles in my excitement during the game, and the woman who ran the room was understanding and didn't get mad at me. She even sent a 'hint' note asking if everything was ok and making sure I didn't get hurt. Other than being completely mortified, I was uninjured.) read more

We had a booked room for 7:30(we had the parlor). When we arrived we were a bit concerned. The location is kind of hidden and walking through the hall ways with hardly anyone around definitely remind of us of a situation from a horror film. Once we arrived we were greeted by Regina. She informed us they were having technical issues but no matter what she'd make it work for us. She was incredibly nice and friendly. Due to the technical issues we weren't able to play like how normally is so she offered us a discount (which was very appreciated). This was a majority of our groups first escape room and we were very pleased and had a great time. We've made plans to go back and do the The Lab. I would highly recommend anyone to try out Escape 20/20. Despite it not being all fancy like some escape rooms are this one was definitely fun and challenging. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. read more

Not impressed. I've done many escape rooms and found this one on Groupon. We had first time escape room goers in our group and the Game Master did not even cover how locks worked (directional, words, etc). The overall production is lack luster and not intuitive. Very frustrating and not exciting, which is the feeling I do escape rooms for. Let me clarify that it wasn't that we were missing obvious clues, some were very obscure. Also, when they tell you not to touch something or remove it there may be clues behind it... There are plenty of other companies in the area and I will not be returning to this one. read more

You HAVE to come to Escape 20/20!! It's a great place to exercise your creativity...or your logical brain. So cool to see how adults and kids look at things differently. I highly recommend it for a family or friend event (bachelorette party, sports teams, birthday party, ...or a corporate leadership development event). read more
