What an awesome experience!…read more This was my first escape room, and Escape Bradenton has officially gotten me hooked. We attended for a birthday as a group and took advantage of a Groupon so as to limit players to the 5 of us. We attempted "Crucifixus" - wow! I'm being cautious not to give any spoilers here, but this room was incredibly challenging and required your wits as well as your courage. Various stages tested our resolve, and each player was forced to bring something to the table at critical points for us to be successful. Open communication and teamwork paid off - we made it out in 50 minutes and in time for a successful escape! I'm excited to try their other rooms soon. This is a bit pricey per person for an hour of entertainment, but when you look at what goes into each puzzle room you can understand the price point. A savvy shopper will drive cost down with coupon / Groupon offers as well.

My husband and I tackled the Clue-Dunnit room and had an absolute blast. It was intense, immersive, and honestly, such a great way to bond and have fun. We finished with just seconds to spare, which made it all the more exciting. If you're in Sarasota area and looking for a fun, interactive experience, I highly recommend trying out an escape room - you won't regret it. Pro Tip: Go with people you communicate well with - every second counts!

We first did the lost city and we finished before time was up. We had so much fun we decided to try the hardest Mona room. We finished with 12 mins to spare. The rooms were awesome.

My nephew and son are two bright men and I wouldn't have gotten through the game without both of them. We worked real well as a team. Bathrooms were clean as was the building. I love that they have puzzles on the tables while you are waiting to use a room. They had over 10 rooms to choose from. Can't wait to go back again.

We made our reservations, not knowing that it was a scare room called the basement as well LOL. Let me just say HAMBONE is the man and will not disappoint! What a rush! it's about like hunting rabbit you have to be very, very quiet and fast LOL. They have a great introduction that tells you about the different locks and puzzles you will be dealing with in the room and further instructions after entering it. The game is very exciting and will not disappoint. This was one of the best nights I've ever had.

(http://www.escapecountdown.com/6525-s-tamiami-trail-sarasota-fl-34231/) ----- this page is #2 in the Google search for "Sarasota Escape Room". When I inquired about this, the young woman said, "Oh, does it still say that? That was only for Valentine's Day. We keep telling our web guy to take it down but he doesn't." Looking at the site again, it appears that description is on a page that is no longer included on the main site, but is still an active page showing up in searches. So, just delete the page? Regardless, we came in with expectations that were not met. Overall, it was fun but as this and other reviews indicate, there are some management/customer service issues that need to be ironed out to provide a flawless experience.

It also had some really cool special effects we haven't seen in other places! After we finished the room, the owners asked if we wanted to "test drive" their new AI fantasy room. As someone who has done a lot of escape rooms, this room was like nothing else I've ever experienced in all the best ways! It's actually designed to be completed over multiple sessions, and they have a system to save your group's progress so that you can come back and keep working from where you left off. We had so much fun and will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to keep tackling the AI room. Anybody in the area who likes escape rooms or wants to try one out should absolutely come here!

I didn't need any, but to know that if I was in a bind, they were prepared to help a girl out. Thank you.

My parents had never done an escape room before - mom was skeptical and dad had no interest ("Can I just pay you for my ticket and wait outside?"). We all really had such a ball!! The room was creative and clever and when we left, my mom just kept saying over and over, "That was so much FUN!" then "That was just SO much fun!" And now my dad, two days later, still excitedly reminds us, "How about how I solved the first clue in that escape room!" We have been to several escape rooms in different cities and this was by far our favorite. My kids declared it their most fun part of all of spring break, and asked for Escape Room birthday parties next year. Will definitely be back next year for spring break! Additional notes: - I was a bit worried about having to do any crawling (we've been in some rooms at other places in the past where we've had to crawl through tight spaces to get from room to room), but they assured us that all their rooms are grandparent friendly! - I particularly love how they give you a clipboard with paper to work things out - first time we've had that! - We all commented that there was something for everyone in the room to keep everyone engaged in solving the puzzle. It was really so thoughtfully designed.
