Since this was the first time visiting downtown Harrisonburg, I had a small group of 4 with…read morereservations to try an escape room at a place called Escapism Escape Rooms. I didn't know what to expect or how it works. As you walked in, there a waiting area on the right, a host on your left, fill a small questionnaire using a QR code. Once completed, you will be taken to a room of your selected escape, the host will explain the rules and you watch a short video then taken to your designated room which you have 60 mins to complete. It was a fun and mindful experience in which everyone should try it. Our host was Rocket, she was friendly, humorous, patient and knowledgeable. It is a great place to bring your entire family. Come check them out.

This was so much fun and well done! We were challenged and the staff were so helpful! Will…read moredefinitely return!

We did the escape room as a group of 4 of us and were able to get out in under the hour, so this…read morewas a great option for a smaller group. It wasn't just a linear escape room where you couldn't work on things simultaneously, so that was a great touch. We each were busy throughout without much standing around. Quade is AMAZING. I've also brought my baby twice now and they've been receptive to that!

We did the Declaration of Independence room, and we escaped! It was HARD!!! But super enjoyable!…read more This is the first room I've done that didn't have a countdown clock or someway for the game masters to communicate in the room (they walked to the room to give clues) which I thought was strange - but didn't have a negative impact on the game at all! Free swag (pens and stickers!) at the end!

This was really fun!!!!! I can not imagine the words to use, so forgive me for my mundane attempt…read more We started by descending a deep hole and found ourselves bigger and smaller at the same time. Logic was lost and unlogic was our guide. Through a series puzzles and clues we moved from room to room succeeding laughing and looking forward to the next encounter. Great Night !!!! Our hosts were super positive, helpful and encouraging. I will do it again, again and again. Great Night !!!

My 11 yr old and I did the chocolate factory. This was a good level for 2 ppl and a child…read more (Although a couple more ppl might have helped!) The room keeps evolving with great decor and imagination. Supportive staff. The downside was there were a couple clues that need refreshing. In one case the color was faint and worn away. In another the pictures were too dark making it hard to see. Tough if you're in the reading glasses demographic. We still had fun but not up to the level of others we've done.

Terrible experience our host kicked us out of our room even though we were following all rules…read morestated by the immature host. Once we were out she said my dad and elderly grandma were not following the rules even though they did exactly what they were supposed to do. Hence ruining my dads and grandparents first escape room experience . And once we asked for a refund they gave us only part of the refund so we had to go back in to get our money WORST experience I've every had do NOT Go!

Amateur at best. 18 minutes into our escape our host broke in and said we need to "leave her room"…read morebecause my 70 year old mother was solving the puzzle by "brute force." We followed all rules as explained. When I asked for an explanation our host told us that she is "not good at talking" and we needed to wait for her mother to come. After talking to her mother we were given a full refund but this is clearly amateur hour. I never post reviews and I'm not a Karen but we were being charged over 200 dollars for a complete s!&#t show. Avoid this "business"

We were on vacation and found this escape room online. We really love doing them, so even though it…read morewas a 40 minute drive, we decided to book a session. So glad that we did! We had a blast. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind, the puzzles are nonlinear, and the rooms are all family friendly and fun. We had such a great time that we came back the next day to do a different room. We talked to the staff about an upcoming concert and they were nice enough to make a keepsake for as an extra prize when we finished the second room. I look forward to coming back next time we're in town.

We recently visited during a bachelorette party and had a great time! Our game host was very…read morehelpful and nice. We did the mad scientist escape room. It was fun, but there are a lot of number puzzle locks and all of it is in one small room, so if you are used to something more grand that may be a bit of a letdown. We had a great time and would definitely return!

We are not escape room newbies, and this was fun! We did the mob boss room and escaped. There were…read more5 of us, 4 adults and a tween. We all enjoyed it. Before starting, staff went over the types locks in the room and how to use them. That helps relieve some potential frustration. Each puzzle made sense, and that's rare. I do wish there were more of a story to follow, but it was enjoyable.

First time visiting an escape room so I have nothing to base this off of but this place was very…read morewell run. We did a NY Subway theme room. Everything worked, lots of challenges. It was a nice challenge. I we escaped with just over a minute remaining. I think everyone in our group would return and try another room

I didn't get the employee's name but he was very nice and helpful. Afterwards, he explained some tips to us about escape rooms in general since we had never done one before. Amazing first escape room experience!

This is an incredible experience especially for large groups, and definitely worth it. The puzzle…read morewe chose was slightly challenging, but brilliantly designed. I went there in a group of five and three of us were engineers, and yet we barely managed to finish it with a couple of minutes left on the clock. The only minor issue is that their entrance is a bit hard to find so you gotta look for it.

My family and I had the call the facility back so many times. They never called back, I had to keep calling. Then they said they could send someone out. Not being respectful of anyone's time when I'll booking was at 1:30 and this was after 1:30 when they wanted to try to send someone out. Never said how long that would even be. No one should ever go here. I am furious!

She was so lovely and helpful, and helped make our experience great. Will definitely come back to try another theme. One star removed because the building was a bit hard to find. A sign in a window or the front door would help a lot.

Enjoyed the Pirate themed room immensely. A trio of us visited Rush Hour and we rushed!! There were…read morea number of locks, but the locks explanation prior to game was perfectly executed making it more effective and efficient in the game play. One of the things I liked about the room was the simplicity coupled with attention to detail of the theme. Finally, this room rated so high for us due to having a game element we haven't come across in an escape room yet and we've done over 100 escape room. Well done!!!

Had a blast here with the family a few weeks/ a month ago. We did the Christmas Themed room. It was…read moreeasy enough for my 10 year old but still challenging enough for the adults. Only reason for the 4 stars was some of our "toys" were broken/pieces missing making the task harder and sorta breaking the magic of it all. Still a great set up and better than some of the other rooms I've been to.
