Ty was awesome, set the stage for us! Very immersive! Thank you for a fun time! Great special effects!

One of several locations in D.C., this one is in Penn Quarter near many tourist sites. On a day off, my eight-year-old daughter and I signed up to do The Depths. Sign online waivers and head in. It's their easiest escape room and my daughter was able to solve many of the clues. We had a blast! read more

We had so much fun at this Escape Room convienently located in Gallery Place. Thank you Phil for all your help and ensuring we had a great time! read more

My first escape room and it did not disappoint at all. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. My friends and I were running late and they were kind enough to work with us to reschedule our game. We had Jaylen as our clue master and he was incredibly kind and explained everything really well. I would definitely recommend. I had a lovely time and WE WON!!! read more

Escape the Room - Props at the end of the game - Escape Games Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A fun group experience with friends. We tried the james bond inspired room, which we were able to solve with about 4 minutes to spare, but it is not easy. If you feel like a game master, try this place out. We needed a number of clues, sadly, but we are not super experienced. Some of the clues seemed a bit un-intuitive (I don't want to spoil anything, but a few seemed impossible to get, which is my one criticism), but still, we had a good time. They had nice bond music playing and incorporated several different types of clues, including a video, an audio device, puzzles, secret codes, and the escape room classic - a hidden back room through a door that opens. The bond one has a clue featuring beer taps you pull in order to move on in the game, which we especially enjoyed. read more

We had a blast here, shout out to Mike for helping us out! The room was fun and immersive

I came here after a basketball game with my colleagues. The room was fun and clean. Employees gave clear concise instructions. We had a great time. There is nothing wrong here, I just wish we had more time to figure it out! read more

We lost but the experience was great. Clue master Juwan was very helpful. This was the closest we've come to escaping. We only needed another 60 seconds. You will indeed enjoy yourself. read more

A group of five colleagues and I did the Agency room and had a blast trying to "track down the spy!" We really needed the full hour and unlimited clues. We escaped with just 30 seconds left. The entrance to this location is a little discreet because there's no big sign, you have to dial to get in, and then go downstairs, but it's not hard to find. They email you clear instructions. Some of my colleagues were asking about the waiver because there was a lot of language about ensuring you're physically able to participate but it was nothing to worry about if you have the ability to stand for an hour. We had a few minutes to get settled in and use the restroom and arrived about five minutes before our start time, though they do recommend arriving ten minutes prior. Most of my colleagues had never done an escape room before and had a really great time. I think it requires a lot of different types of minds to get it solved! There were a lot of surprises that kept us busy and it felt very satisfying at the end to finally escape. Cluemaster April was helpful in explaining everything and we got clues that displayed on a screen. She told us that some groups do not finish, and for some groups who come back, sometimes they can't solve the other room! I prefer a slightly smaller group because it gets hard to hear and see everything going on when you're in a relatively small room. l This is definitely a fun experience for staff or friend bonding! read more

Should preface this with saying that this was my first escape room, so I had/have no reference for how good it is compared to other ones. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed my time going through "The Agency" room. The room was well decorated and contained moving parts like secret doors and a locking/unlocking vault. Our party of 2 did get stuck a few places but Stephanie gave awesome clues that still made you think but clear enough to to get us progressing again. We ultimately completed the room with less than a minute to go, and walking through some of the puzzles were some clues we would have never gotten to but ended up brute forcing our way through to complete the room. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience from how well the room was, to our awesome clue giver, and challenging but obtainable puzzles. Stephanie was also great and allowed us to move our time up to accommodate our availability. The price to entertainment value was great. Will definitely try other escape rooms in the future. read more

Our gamemaster Juwan was awesome! He was our game master for the dig and the agency. Saw us struggle and helped us nudge us in the right direction (which happened more often today). I swear we're not dumb! Puzzles were diffucult but not impossible. Set and atmosphere were well designed. I would come back here and try the other rooms if I were ever in town again read more

This was so much fun! Thanks Juwan! Definitely a team activity so bring your smartest friends! read more

I've become somewhat of an escape room junkie recently. I find it fun and fascinating to have to solve puzzles to 'escape' the room. I have been to a few throughout the country, some chains, some local spots, and overall have enjoyed every last minute I have spent in the room. First the pluses of this place: -Delightful staff that are amazing at informing you of the rooms and prep. -You can add people to your party, under certain circumstances. -Plenty of clues. -Accommodating. Then the minuses of this place: -It is hard to find. -The clues can sometimes be vague, or for something you already solved. -Pricing, it's a bit tricky to figure out the true price on the website. A little more in depth here. They do go over the rules of the room(s) you may be going into. The general 'you should know' rules that makes it relevant as to what you are doing. Other places have this pre-recorded and just plays on a screen. They way that you pay via online to reserve your spot is a bit tricky. The first time I came here, I paid via applePay and when we needed to split how it was paid, it all went on my payment and my friends had to then pay me. Even when I used my card the second visit, it was still a bit weird. Then there is tax and kind of a surge pay depending on the time you come. Kind of like going to the movies. These rooms, were some of the hardest rooms I have gone to. I think their scales are off. There clues, when given are really vague and/or may be for a puzzle that you already solved. But the first puzzle is trying to find this place. My friends and I walked by it three times before we realized where it was. There really wasn't a sign that big to pull you in. It is a small sign next to a call box. When you call the number, they buzz you in. Overall, it was great. If they ever switch over the games, I will return to check them out. read more

We do a lot of escape rooms and these were genuinely our favorites. so challenging and cleaver. Juwan was our clue master and he was great with giving clues when we really needed them while still giving us time to really try and work out the clues. He was great! read more

Really fun. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Fun game and would recommend for family fun. read more

Shoutout to Tyrique! Super fun, love the animatronic dinosaurs. The puzzles need a red hearing to make it a little harder.

Mike did a great job. It was a fantastic experience for me and the kids and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Great experience even though we completed it two seconds after time expired. Juwan was the clue master. Great dude.

Thanks to Jaquasha and the team from Escape the Room! Had an amazing time. Be ready with your thinking caps on!!!! Love this place!

Awesome time with my family, Jaylen was awesome and helpful throughout ! Thanks !!! read more

Tyrique was amazing and the best. 10/10. Would recommend if he's running the game. Not the craziest escape room but still a fun one

Juwan the goat, had a blast with my friends! Definitely would recommend! We got clues when we needed them, but still escaped while giving it some good thought! read more

So much fun! April was great at explain everything, but also showing us what we missed. Would definitely do this again,!

Very interactive and entertaining escape room. Appreciated multi-environment setting.

Tyrique was great! Super cool experience. Would highly recommend. Finished our room with 20 mins to spare.

We actually arrived in between room start times. So we are definitely coming back. They have rooms starting at 9:30 pm and 10:40 pm. This is good to know if you're looking for something to do late night during a week day. You can always hit up this spot!!! read more

Fun and challenging. Had a good time. Staff was courteous and helpful. Went right up to the wire on time.

big thanks to Michelle for making sure we had a great time! the clues were clever and the surprises kept us on our toes~

I was given passes for free tickets from an associated worker, Mike; when booking online, I didn't see a space to input said codes, and went through with the booking, hoping to talk to customer service to be able to use them for said booking. In talking with them, I was told I was unable to use said vouchers since I didn't input them online, and that I could only cancel my booking if I had purchased the cancellation policy, but that policy would only work if I had purchased tickets more than 48 hours prior to my booking (I booked for later the same day). I asked to communicate with someone higher who could help, and was told that wasn't an option. I've been to plenty of these rooms from this company in the state I'm from, and have never encountered this number of issues with booking and policies; I find it hard to believe that my only options are "deal with it" or "pay full price anyway and cancel". Very sad that a voucher given to incentivize me booking has now turned into an incentive to never book through this company again. read more

I'm going to preface this review with the fact that we did not escape. We died. I think if we had maybe 5 more minutes - or didn't get stuck on the first puzzle of the room for 20 minutes, we would've made it. Now onto the room - I booked for the 3 of us into The Dig a few days before. We were greeted upon arrive and they had us fill out waivers on our phones. Our game master was fantastic and really tried to help us out when we got stuck. You can tell they're really monitoring us because we were always given clues at the appropriate time or we were given clues almost immediately after we asked for help. I appreciated that they didn't dock time off when we asked for clues like some other places. But I also thought the room was hard. The very first clue was VERY difficult and we spent so much time on it. In addition, it wasn't immediately clear until our game master told us that we could do another clue at the same time as the first puzzle. That really ate a ton of our time. Without spoiling anything, I think this was perhaps the most frustrating part of the room. The clues are actually pretty fun and are different than other escape rooms that we've been to before. All in all, we had a good time even though we didn't escape. read more

Had a great time! So much fun and the Cluemasters were excellent. Thank you April and Ni'ara!

This review is for the Jurassic themed escape room. We've done countless rooms in several states, and were truly impressed with the immersive theming here. We also encountered many new styles of clues. April started our experience off with great humor and personality, and Juwan ended our experience with sincere interest of our experience and past escape experiences. We live in Maryland a ways away, but will certainly be making a point to get back to this location to try the other rooms. Highly recommend! read more

Escape the Room - We escaped with just 15 seconds left! - Escape Games Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We did it! Barely. First time doing an escape room, definitely was an interesting experience and I have no idea how anyone could escape in one hour without the clues. Even if you don't escape it's a great time. read more

We did the Dig and we had a few players who had never played before. We didn't escape but Juwan, our clue master was helpful and gave us many clues along the way. read more

We did The Dig, and thanks to April's well timed hints we solved the room just in time!

Loved the Jurassic Escape room! Very hard but filled with great effects. Juwan was a great host!

It was kind of difficult to find the entrance which is located between pitagano gelato and oyamel. You have to enter the building and head to the bottom floor. Otherwise the escape room is fun but very challenging. I recommend going with a bigger group if possible. read more

Mike was amazing! Had an amazing time doing three games!! Definitely coming back again!

Juwan was great!! thank you for the clues. we were hopeless. he was so clever with his clues
