    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!!!

    Props at the end of the game

    Juwan was amazing! Very detailed regarding the escape room experience. Looking to come back.

    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.

    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!

    It is very challenging but the clue master will chime in with hints on the TV screen to keep you on the right path.

    It's fun the game are hard but not to hard and it's easy to do the food is good overall it's funread more

    I'll be honest; this isn't typically my kind of activity. But it's been on my "I guess I should try…read morethis at least once" list, so when one of my new friends picked it for her birthday, I said why not...and I'm actually glad I did! We had 7 of us total (supposed to be 8, but one friend couldn't make it), and split into two teams: 3 vs. 4. BABY!!! Teamwork is not optional here You need communication, quick thinking, and a good sense of humor because you will be stressed and laughing at the same time. We went through 4 different escape rooms: won some, lost some, but the real win was the experience. The friendly competition between both teams made it even better. It was giving "we are NOT losing to y'all" energy the whole time Now let's talk about the finale...THE PAINT BOMB. The white hazard suits?? The chaos?? The fun?? 10/10. That was easily my favorite part. Overall, it took about an hour, which was perfect for a group activity, not too long, not too short. My only con: the communication about the photos/videos. Apparently, you have to opt into text messages to receive your paint bomb pics, and nobody clearly explained that. Most of us opted out because...hello, spam?? So my group didn't get our content while the other team did. We had to go on a whole mini investigation and track someone down, which wasted time. BUT I will say that the staff was super helpful, and the manager ended up finding our files and sending everything the next day. So, it worked out, but it could've been explained way better upfront. Also, yes, they serve food and drinks (including alcohol), so if you're trying to make it a full "outside" moment, you absolutely can. We skipped it since we had a late lunch reservation right after, but the option is there if you're trying to get a little litty... Would I do it again? Maybe not regularly, but for a birthday, group outing, or something different...

    My fiancé and I LOVE escape rooms. We've done a ton and we like to look for rooms while we travel…read more We were traveling to Arlington to meet some friends who haven't done a room before. As a four-person group, we decided to take on Poe's Chambers. The theming of this room is immaculate! Just the door to the room evokes the early 19 hundreds. Poe's Chambers really makes you feel like you're in the creative poet's home. I loved the overall feel! My fiancé and I were able to get the group through some of the puzzles, just due to our vast experience with rooms. I believe even our first-timer friends were able to see how we were making the connections and able to get their brains going too! I felt like we all really handled the room well and that it was friendly to them. There is one puzzle in particular I think E.R.A. needs to update. If it doesn't sit just so, it's easy to miss the clue. Though, everything else in the room worked flawlessly. Our game master was very attentive when we asked for two clues, though it took us a bit to decode her hints. We got out with 7 minutes to spare. I can see why this room would be an 8/10 difficulty. It's a fairly linear room, which I prefer when it comes to games. I've done rooms that feel scattered and those frustrate me to no end, lol. I do think a group of beginners might struggle, just a bit, in this room. Truly though, great room! I hope we'll get to go back again! 8/10 recommend

    This was our second time here. Both rooms were challenging and the puzzles were different than…read morewe've had in other escape rooms so good challenges!

    We had the BEST time at Insomnia Escape Room DC for my son's 16th birthday! It was my first-ever…read moreescape room, and my son--who's done a few before--said this was hands down his favorite so far. We chose the Mafia room, and from the moment we stepped in, we were transported to the Prohibition era. The atmosphere, the design--everything felt like stepping into a vintage crime thriller. The puzzles were super engaging--challenging enough to keep us on our toes, but perfectly balanced for the time limit. I especially appreciated that each room is a private experience, so it was just our group working together, which made it even more special. Martina, our host, was incredible--welcoming, professional, and gave just the right hint when we were stuck without taking away the thrill. We cracked the final clue with five minutes to spare and left feeling exhilarated! The location is a hidden gem--tucked in a quiet, walkable corner of Glover Park, close to restaurants and shops, and very easy to get to. We're already planning our return--my son can't wait to try another room with his sister and friends! The Patient room is next on our list!

    It's amazing how small this place looks yet fits 3 different themed escape rooms. The alchemist…read more(difficulty level: 8), the lab (difficulty level: 9), and mafia (difficulty level: 6). I came for a friend's bday and we did the mafia room and we got the all-time record with 31 minutes left. It wasn't easy but definitely not hard. I've done escape rooms where it had a lot more puzzles (some irrelevant to actually solving the escape room). But I felt the mafia room would be great for a family or group of friends, both casual and competitive. Most of us were competitive hence the time and using no hints. Would love to try the other rooms. Despite it being on the corner of Wisconsin Ave, a busy street, there was plenty of street parking and very accessible. Love that it isn't a totally busy neighborhood.
