We just escaped Atlantis...with help that is. At first impression the business itself may not look as upscale as many we've visited, but the game was just as fun and well-setup. The storyline for Atlantis was well crafted and entertaining. Truthfully we missed a couple of really obvious clues, but at other times we truly needed a bit of help to move forward. We've played at many places and this was the first time when a staff member came into the room each time you buzzed for a clue; we were accustomed to someone speaking through a screen or intercom! The gentleman who assisted was very friendly and helpful start to finish. Definitely recommend! read more

It was so much fun, my boyfriend and I done it ourselves and got about 75% done hahaha but it was so much fun and worth the money. The staff were AMAZING, super friendly and helpful, they also showed up how it ended so we'd know. Hahaha next time we'll do a different one and we can't wait!! 10/10 read more

An escape room that perfectly balances challenging and fun. A wide range of escape room themes are available so there's something that would appeal to just about anyone. Everything was well explained and the staff are very friendly and approachable. They also sell puzzle games and board games downstairs. You may have to book in advance depending on the day as availability can be limited. Since many other shops close early in the day it's a great place to spend time with family and friends. read more

While still fun, there were some mechanical failures that caused us to lose a lot of time. One puzzle, when solved, opens an adjacent door. We solved it but there was nothing obvious to let us know we got it right. The door didn't even make a noise. Then, everything kind of stopped working at the very end so we had to quit. They were short-staffed and one guy was running the whole show with a bunch of people coming in. I felt bad for him. However, we love escape rooms and I'm sure they will fix the problems. We may actually do another one while we are in town. UPDATE: We received a personal phone call from Mark, the owner, who apologized for the mishaps and offered us a free go at one of the other rooms. Unfortunately, we were unable to go since we flew out the next day, but we edited the rating here for the excellent customer service. Thanks! read more

I had an amazing night out. The room was so much fun! I did the newly opened 90's themed room and it was radical. The puzzles were challenging, but not impossible. The details that went into the room were incredible. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Escape rooms are a new form of entertainment that has caught on all over the world! Groups are sent into one of several exciting, thematic rooms filled with obstacles, locks, and clues. Working together, they must solve each problem in the hopes of finding a way out before the time is up. Each success gives players a rush of excitement, but as the game goes on, the challenges get tougher. Only by working together and finding every clue can players hope to escape!

UPDATE: I have since been in contact with one of the owners of Escape Quest. They apologized for our experience and provided an explanation to why we had such a long wait for our hints, as well as explained that they seem to have resolved the issue. They also offered a free pass for each of my teammates for us to return at a later date. I have changed my rating from three to five stars as we thoroughly enjoyed our experience other than the issue with the hint button. I would strongly recommend Escape Quest as they offer a great experience to their clients and have great customer service. My team will definitely be back to try another room and are very thankful for the resolution to the problem we encountered. I did the Patient 709 room with a few of my friends a couple of days ago and overall it was a great setup. A few of the puzzles were a little challenging at times but not too difficult for a bunch of teenagers. The experience was very immersive and went very well until we needed a hint...we ended up wasting about 15 minutes of our time in total waiting for a staff member to come give us our hint during two occasions. The first time we clicked the button for a hint when we had 25 minutes remaining...surprised that the game master didn't come; we kept returning and clicking the button every couple of minutes. Still, no response. Finally, when we had 15 minutes remaining the game master decided to give us our hint. It wasn't a big deal at first .. I get it, the game master may have been busy. But then we needed another hint five minutes later and ended up waiting an additional five minutes for the game master to give us our hint. To top it off, we were not even given the time we lost due to poor response times at the end. The game master told us that we could have escaped the room in no more than five or ten minutes when he kicked us out on the hour. If he had just given us the time we had lost waiting for him to give us the hint we could've escaped and the night would've been much more enjoyable for us. From my experience the room was absolutely amazing and the staff were friendly and great to talk to, however the wait made the experience very frustrating. read more

The staff was also extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and energetic. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish and I can't wait for my next adventure! read more

I've tried 3 of the 4 rooms. they are amazing, quite challenging but also quite possible. The clues are well set up so you don't get stuck doing the wrong thing (not for long anyway) and there feels to be a logical progression to the room. read more
