Casting a spell in the magic room.
Lisa D.

Awesome! We are from Las Vegas and wanted to do an escape room while in Boise. Escape This Live did not disappoint. It was a great experience. We did the wizard room since we hadn't seen anything like that before and hadn't seen that option back home. The puzzles were great, and the decor added to the room theme. We completed the task with 30 seconds to spare with the help of our incredible gamekeeper, Dana, who had to give us a few clues along the way. This is my fourth escape room and first one in Boise. I highly recommend checking this place out.

What a blast we had as repeat customers here at Escape This Boise! Naiomi was cute and had a great personality as she welcomed us and gave us our instructions for the Wild West room. We slayed it with 11 minutes to spare but it wasn't easy! Thanks Naiomi for a great time! We'll be back!

We made it!

New record for this room-woohoo! Clever clues and great fun (in this case!) We did the Wild West room and enjoyed the numerous clues in this single roomed game. The video to "introduce" the game skipped a bit but the subtitles made it easy to follow along. We ordered tickets through living social but that meant to use them, only the later sessions were available for the discounted tickets. We will definitely try out the other rooms soon!

Finished!!

We did the zombie room!! Super hard room but we made it out alive!! Colin, the host was awesome. Would definitely do it again. Want to try another room. We are from Las Vegas and have done escape rooms before but this one was so cool.

Ok, talk about FUN!!! This was my first escape room experience and it was a BLAST! I really didn't know what to expect when going in, and now I can't wait to do it again. We completed the wizard room with 11 minutes to spare. Apparently, this is one of the harder rooms to complete. The entire time I was in the room with my friends I thought to myself "who comes up with these puzzles and riddles?" They are so creative! Because there was a group of us, we booked in advance and we were able to have our own private room. If you have 12 friends wanting to do this, it really is so much fun! It would definitely be interesting to do this with strangers too. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this escape room.

Three wise woman and two brainy youngsters...this was a blast!

Holidays, family and friends... what to do after all the Christmas activities? ESCAPE THIS was thrown out as an idea and off we went after making a reservation. Jade was a perfect host, patient and professional. After we all assembled and signed the waiver, we were ushered to the Wizard Room. It had amazing wizard-like decor. She gave simple instructions to open drawers, move and look under objects, take notes and take nothing for granted. We had an hour. We were on our own with number combination locks, letter combination locks, ordinary key locks and not so ordinary key locks, magic wands, snake riddles, ciphers, a magic potion, a hidden room and so much more. Jade did offer us a couple of hints via a monitor and intercom when we were so close but stuck. We completed the adventure with 5 minutes to spare. This was so much fun. I can't wait to try all the rooms. Not costly and a fantastic value. I highly recommend this activity for you, your family, your friends, team building, co-workers or any special occasion. I'll be back!

Really great experience on our return trip! We did the Wild West room the first time and had such a good time we went back to do the Jungle room. Puzzles and storyline were super cool, had a raiders of the lost ark feel.

They were able to accommodate my group of 3 at the last minute on a Thursday night. I flew in to…read moresurprise my sister and I always look for escape rooms while traveling. Tonight we did the demolition room and had a very enjoyable time. Our host was very friendly and explained the rules smoothly. I like the variety that this business offers with having more than 4 different room (I say more than 4 because they just added a new concept that counts for half a room). Now for the review of the demolition room itself. Immersion: 3.5/5 The immersion on this game was the only thing at this company that I can say could use improvement. I didn't feel like I was in another space like some escape rooms make you feel. For example, both the entrance door and exit doors were just regular doors; they didn't look like or have anything to do with the theme. Puzzles: 5/5 This is where the room really thrives. The puzzles were very unique, challenging and fit the theme well. There wasn't one puzzle in this room that I had seen anywhere else. I also liked the fact that they took a simple maze puzzle and made it huge, difficult and fun. I liked the system they used for clues. Some companies nudge you on clues too much and the way they did it here was perfect. Overall I was impressed with the friendliness of our host, the puzzles and the variety of games they provided.

Just go!!!! So much fun. Great rooms. We did Demolition Abduction and then Titanic a few days later…read morewith friends. We liked Demolition best so far and can't wait to try the rest of their rooms.

The staff was so helpful and the rooms are truly decorated to feel like you are in the actual room!…read moreSoooo much fun, we did it with young adults and they loved it too. I gave this as a birthday gift and it was worth the fun we had!

Don't judge this one based on location! We absolutely love this place and we've done about 40…read moreescape rooms in five different states. I was hesitant based on a couple reviews and the location but it turns out this is one of our favorites and we've done all but one room here. One of the best parts is that the rooms are bright enough to see! Sounds trivial but I can't see well in the dark and trying to look for clues or put codes in tiny locks without much light is quite difficult. Plus, I believe this allows for more families especially if they have children who don't like the dark. The puzzles are fun and interactive. The rooms have some great detail and it really elevates the experience. Something different here is that the puzzles are not always linear which works well when you have a decent age gap between players. They are difficult enough to be challenging but not impossible. I love that with the clues from the staff you can basically choose the level of difficulty. When my husband goes he likes to set a 3 clue limit and would like to not have to ask for any clues. My youngest waits until he feels stuck, goes to a different puzzle, then comes back and if he's still stuck he will ask. My middle son will ask right away so he can get on to the next puzzle! So it's really up to you on how you want the experience to go which allows you to accommodate all ages. I really enjoyed the bank heist because of the thought that went into the puzzles. My son's favorite was the theater because of how unique the clues were and how they created actions to get to the next puzzle, he basically liked all the moving parts. The absolute best part of this place is the staff!! Eva, Jack, and Camden were phenomenal! They were so helpful and really want everyone to enjoy the experience from start to finish! The give clues based on your skill level and help in any way possible. Best pace to park is Macy's and it's on the right as soon as you exit Macy's by the escalators. They have some games in the waiting area if you need to kill some time which is fantastic. In response to the comments about things being broken.... We've done four of the five rooms here and only once did something not work. An item was supposed to open and reveal a key, it clicked like the mechanism was working but it didn't open. A staff member came in and got us to the next step without hesitation so it didn't waste any time. There are a lot of moving parts in any escape room and sometimes things can malfunction. I don't think that's a negative reflection on the staff at all and they work to make sure those things get fixed or provide a temporary solution. We've had malfunctions with other escape room companies as well but instead of letting it ruin the experience, we understand that it is a possibility and the staff cannot avoid random issues that pop up, especially when some people are overly aggressive with things. It's the reason they have to say that you only need a finger worth of pressure or they tell you not to climb on things or force things open. It happens, the rooms are still so much fun!

It was "okay", but the price was a bit steep. I took my 10yo daughter here for her first "Haunted…read moreHouse" walk through... The employees did a good job trying to keep everyone entertained. Location was a bit small, and the props were a bit outdated. No "walking though fog" effects or strobe lights... just a basic walk through. I paid $60 in total, i feel as if it was twice as much as I would've liked to have paid

I want to be fair, but honest about our experience…read more I expected so much more than what we experienced. It was my first year and based off past reviews, it definitely isn't what it was in years past. No corn field One food truck Two big inflatable slides 1 tarot card reader 2 mazes 1 immersion experience-$10 extra The execution felt sloppy and unfinished. It has a very "carney bootleg" vibe. It didn't feel like a highly stage crafted production. On the website they make it seem like it's a complete event, with things to do beyond the maze. There was not. Here is the silver lining, the two mazes ( Asylum and clown) were descent. A lot of jump scares and a few cool features(vibrating floor and loud horns). The actors did a good job of interacting and really are the heart of the experience. Is it worth $30? Umm, that's debatable. I'd probably say it's close to $20. Bottom line it's not as bad as people make it seem in other reviews, but it certainly isn't as good either. I made the most of it with my group and we had a good time getting scared. I probably wouldn't go back next year unless there was a complete overhaul. Pro tip: You don't need VIP/Express, save your money. Longest wait for me was 20mins(7pm time). You can buy your own ticket at the door. You'll save on fees Even though you have a online ticket, you have to stand in purchase line to get a paper ticket that's taken at the front of maze.
