10/10 would highly recommend!!! Today my boyfriend and I took our kids (ages 16, 14, 13, & 8) to the escape room. It was for our 16-year-old's birthday, so he got to pick which room. He chose The Quest and I felt like it was great for our family's first time. When we walked in, there was someone at the front to get us checked in. Since we signed the waivers online, we didn't have to worry about them at check in. We sat in the front lobby and waited for the room to be prepped. They had two tv monitors in the lobby that showed the different rooms and the leaderboards. Once they were ready for us, they had us put our belongings in a locker and then walked us to the hallway to watch a short video explaining the escape room and the rules. Afterwards, they took us to the room so we could begin. I won't give anything away, but all 6 of us had such a good time! We worked together and figured out the clues. We made it out of the escape room with just 6 minutes to spare, but we were so proud of ourselves. It was our first one and I felt like we did awesome. Once it was over, the door opened and there was someone there to direct us back to the lobby. They offered to give us $7 off each ticket if we purchased some in advance (they are good for a year). We didn't hesitate and bought 6 more tickets. After we got home, they emailed me with our stats. It was fun to see how long it took us and what badges we earned. I think we will definitely do more escape rooms in the future. Every single person in our group had so much fun! If you're thinking about doing an escape room, DO IT! read more

It was so much fun!! Our team went from 15 to 75 years of age and everyone had a blast! Great team building. Went two days in a row it was so great!! read more

This was a complete waste of time and money. Do NOT recommend. The room we were in was entirely too dark and the combination locks were such that turning one row of numbers frequently turned multiple rows at the same time making it extremely difficult to enter the number you wanted to try. Will not return. read more

I've done a lot of escape rooms in Phoenix. Some really good ones, some okay, and a few that were no good at all. The quality of the experience is definitely dependent on the business and on the staff. Was in town visiting and wanted to take family to do an escape room. It was their first so it had to be good! This location seemed to have the best ratings and boy did they live up to it. Clean rooms, friendly & helpful staff, immersive gameplay. The difficulty rating was spot on. Clues were tricky but not impossibly tricky. Mechanics were all sturdy and functional, written clues were all legible. (Crazy how many rooms I've done where that was not true). We had a great time and now they all want to do it again! read more

Great Room Escape - ...almost! - Escape Games Near Me - Layton, Utah

Was very fun and a quality escape room the staff is very nice and helpful and the rooms ARE GREAT

My work team and I did one of the rooms (the nuclear defense mission) as a team building exercise and it was the most fun activity we've ever done. The scenario was the perfect mix of corny acting, great set design, and engaging, physical puzzles that everyone could contribute to. Highly recommended for friends groups and corporate team building! read more

Went last night and tried the "Zombie" room. LOVED IT!!!!! Can't wait to go again 2nd best thing to do in Layton. Way better than a video game. Can't wait to try their other 2 rooms and eventually go back and concur the "zombie" room. It was out of my league for a first time visit. I'd Love to see them expand and add a "fear factor" option. read more

I was an escape room virgin until today. I went with 4 coworkers and had two other folks join us. All in all it was good fun. The escape room we chose was pretty tough, or maybe seemed like it to me. We didn't escape but did solve most of the puzzles. read more

Very realistic, not for the faint of heart. Difficult puzzles made you wanting more. If you are easily scared I do not reccomend this place, but if you love getting peeing your pants in fear, this is totally the place for you. read more

We decided to do a team building event here. We absolutely loved it! We did the zombie room and it was an awesome experience. Everything was very well thought of. It was dark, creepy and that zombie was freaking scary. I've never seen grown as men so scared and nervous. Haha! The goal itself was quite challenging. You really have to pay attention to clues and details. It was hard enough to figure out especially with the girl zombie getting to you. Everyone had their thinking cap on and at the same time giggling anticipating of getting bitten. We ended up only getting 2 of 4 keys to get out. We found the other 2 but was too little too late as time expired. It was a wonderful time. Kudos to the staff for doing an amazing job! read more

I've been three times and I love it! A few notes however, no matter the time of year- the entire building is boiling hot. The most recent time I went was the only time we didn't escape in time. Later we found out that the final puzzle actually malfunctioned so that was a bummer, especially since the other half of our party was in another room that was able to escape. The customer service is amazing. The owner is such a nice guy. There's a female with brown shortish hair that's super awesome too. Definitely worth the money. read more

Super fun and unique activity. We tried the Cabin. It was definitely a challenge. We couldn't solve it completely but with more time or faster thinking skills it eventually would've been doable. If you're used to playing the online escape the room games.. this is definitely a real life version. I will definitely do this again! read more

Excellent place for team building, our whole department went during the day and had the cabin all to ourselves, there were seven of us - all ages. Communication is key to escape in time. Quality set up, challenging puzzles, was actually pretty scared during some of it. I'll definitely go again, want to check out the Houdini room and the one with the zombies. Lockers are tiny and only hold a cell phone and wallet, don't bring in a big purse because it's not going to fit in the lockers provided. One holer restroom. Awesome location right next to the Layton mall and olive garden. read more

Don't hesitate, Book an appointment with your family/friends now! We went though the "Houdini" room. It was such a blast to watch all of us scramble to find clues to unlock secret doors and boxes. We were sooooo close to finishing but ran out of time right before we found the last two clues. I work for a boarding school for teenage guys and we are always looking for fun activities to do with them. At first I wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first experience in an escape room. Let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations!!! If the room can keep the boys I had with me entertained and engaged for an hour than it will do the same for almost anyone. One of the guys that was with me is from the east coast and he has been to a total of five room at multiple locations. He told me that this was the best staged/acted room he has been to. The attention to detail is incredible. I had a chance to meet the owner and he is a very down-to-earth guy that is very invested in his business. He has a background in haunted house development (which shows in the amount of realistic details in the rooms). We will definitely be going again in the future. Bring on the Zombie or Cabin!! read more

five stars highly recommend the great room escape it is better than the ones in SLC chris jake and the staff are incredible ! the hotel ghost room was dope so difficult yet doable incredible customer service if you go to escape room this one is best locally owned and amazing so wonderful as a yelp elite I can vouch for this wonderful establishment right next to olive garden for a beautiful dinner afterward read more

My friends and i have been hearing about Escape Rooms, and how they are fun. So we wanted to try this place out. A group of 5 of us attempted the Houdini room. We start to look around and find multiple chests locked up, so we would move stuff around to find clues and search for keys. When we unlock chests and unlock more areas to explore, we start would feel like we are close to finishing. Next thing we know, our time is up, and we learned that there are still a lot more puzzles to solve. It was a blast doing the escape room. I love puzzles like this. It reminds me of the first two Resident Evil games, where you are stuck in a mansion filled with clues and puzzles, with backtracking to solve the puzzles. My friends and i want to come back to finish the Houdini Room and try the other rooms. read more

What a fun night. We were a party of 2 that were out into a party of 10. However it turned out to be so more fun that I expected. Interacting with new people and working together ended up a success. What a great family or date night experience. read more

This was a blast! Went with my work as a team building activity. We did the Zombie room and didn't survive, but had A TON of fun working through the puzzles, finding clues, and even losing. The host was in the room was wonderful, charming, and charismatic. The Zombie stayed in character, even once we'd lost. Definitely recommend! I plan on coming back! read more

Best escape room I've been to, our family had a blast. The puzzles were hard and the zombie really keeps you on your feet. The rooms are very well done get you in the mood to be scared and distracted. Zombie room was the shizzniz! read more

Granddaughter chose to do this as a birthday event. So we did the Haunted Hotel. It was really fun and we had to really work hard but we did escape with less than 2 minutes. Highly recommend. Staff is great. We want to go back and do another room. Communication is key within your group. read more

I've done 2 of their rooms now and the Cabin was super fun and interesting and was the perfect level of difficulty. I recently did the Ghost Hotel and I thought that it was too hard to be fun. We only got halfway through and they showed us what we missed and there's no way we would've figured them out. We all agreed it was too hard to be enjoyable. I think they do put a lot into the rooms though with the decorating and various components involved. read more

So much fun! Clue's aren't so hard that you quit and give up. The workmanship and all the details are amazing. I have been to a number of other escape rooms and this one, by far, is the best! The staff/cast members were fantastic! 10/10 read more

Our party of 8 (4 siblings + spouses) had a very fun time. We failed to finish the last 5-10% of the puzzles but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff was just helpful enough to get us unstuck when it was crunch time but left plenty mystery for us to work out. Groupon savings was the icing on the cake. read more

Tonight was my second visit, my group and I beat The Cabin. The design of these rooms is incredible and the puzzle detail is spectacular. I've also done the zombie room and I think next we'll try Houdini. Definitely worth the trip from Salt Lake for the quality they provide. You won't be disappointed. read more

Staff very nice. Front desk/check-in person explained everything clearly. We did the Zombie room so we had a helper with us, and a chained up zombie trying to get us. The helper gave just the right amount of hints. The room was a series of beautifully decorated rooms. We had 7 in our party. We had a wonderful time and we will come back for sure! read more

Mild Spoiler- we did the Zombie themed escape and everyone (myself included) loved the live actors in the room. The zombie in particular added an element of surprise that made the room more challenging. Our group was able to finish with about 10 minutes to spare. read more

Just got done doing one of the finest escape rooms ever. Ten times better than the rooms in SLC! What An all immersive, engaging, exciting, mind boggling hours I have ever spent. Look it up in Layton, seriously a great time. read more

Great Room Escape - Just got done doing one of the finest escape rooms ever. - Escape Games Near Me - Layton, Utah

This is such a fun place to go! The staff there are incredible & the actors are amazing as well. It's a great bonding experience with your group that you choose to bring. We've done this 2 years in a row as a birthday outing & it never fails to entertain everyone. We did The Cabin & it was so great. The actor gave us the right amount of hints & played their roll great! read more

Had such a great time escaping from the cabin room last night with family. Made it with 50 seconds to spare! Lots of twists and turns that kept us on our toes the entire time and man, did the time fly by fast! Definitely recommend this place for a fun filled, heart pumping good time! read more

Awesome setup. I felt pretty confident as this was my first escape room and I didn't think it could be so hard. But after getting in and going I realized it wasn't just smarts but teamwork too. The room was tough but they helped guide you as much as you needed so you didn't fail, and only thanks to my wife did we ask for help. The zombie one was awesome but I couldn't concentrate with all that was going on, which was the point. In the end I thought it was great due to the higher quality rooms and great cast. read more

I'm hooked on escape rooms. I've tried a few different companies and this one has been my favorite so far. I would highly recommend doing the cabin escape room. The actors do a great job at making the experience a lot of fun and helping the game move along. I wish there were longer escape rooms as 1 hour flies by really fast! One recommendation I would give to anyone who is doing this for the first time is to try and bring a big group of people you know to try and fill up the room. It's more fun that way. However, I've done this with my wife and a bunch of strangers too and it wasn't bad either. I'm looking forward to trying the new rooms that are currently being built. Definitely a 5-star experience. read more

We have participated in several "other" escape rooms. My hopes were high with this one. The location is easy to find, the room was set up well, and there was a live actor in the room. We attempted the Houdini room and the actor was playing the role of his wife. She did a great job in the beginning but became a bit frazzled with our group. The clues she shared were a bit cryptic and more confusing than the traditional "man behind the mirror" who answers your direct questions with direct helps. Would we try this place again... probably not, given there are many choices out there. Our cup of tea is more the traditional type of escape room where you get 3 helps and the aid types answers out for you that you can review until solved. In the live actor version, it was hard to decrypt her clues and then remember them 45 minutes later when they were needed. Still... a fun evening with family and friends. Until the next one!!! read more

This was very fun and challenging. Odd recommend it to anyone that wants a new and fun experience.

So much fun. It's all my boyfriend and I could talk about after. They had a discount bounce back price that we took advantage of. We plan on coming back again and again. read more

Very good experience. We did the Cabin room and it was scary but in a good tolerable way. The actors that are a part of these rooms do a very good job at giving you hints when needed but making you still think when they do help. Best escape room in Utah. read more

I went with a group of friends and had a blast! We did the zombie room and got super close to finishing but didn't. Wish we had a little more time. Really excited for some of their upcoming rooms concepts to include a Houdini Room and a deserted subway. Too bad they only had the zombie room to choose from now. But my friends and I are planning on going back again. read more

That was a lot of fun! It was a tense and exciting night. Very friendly staff. If you're looking for something new to do, this is it! I can't giveaway too much, but I promise you'll have fun! read more

This was our first time experiencing an escape room. We had a lot of fun! There were four people in my group and we were put with eight other couples which I wasn't sure about but it turned out to be fun and enjoyable. We did the Harry Houdini room which had a lot of clues and was quite challenging. The actress in our room was good at her job. She gave us very few clues (which is the point) and made us do the work. I recommend this for families, friends (not small children) and company activities. read more

We had a great experience with this escape room. The rooms, props, and actors are well thought out and well implemented which makes for a very fun and immersive experience. The management is excellent and responsive to customers' needs and concerns. I recommend this location if you are looking for an exciting and fulfilling escape room experience. read more

It was an awesome time today! We had a group of friends from work & decided to try this place out. (11 of us, so we had a room to ourselves) It was amazing! We were one key shy from getting out but still had an amazing time the whole time! The zombie was great! It make it more difficult, (thrilling) but the girl who played the zombie did an AMAZING job! She never broke character! The "caretaker" did a great job as well! They definitely have their roles down perfectly!! The staff was friendly and very helpful from when we called for details, walked in, and even in our way out! We are already planning our next event there... and we were just there this afternoon! Can't wait til our next time! Highly recommended for team building with coworkers or a super fun time with family or friends!!! read more
