Loved the Eventide Departure room! The props were super interesting and not at all just combination locks. I don't want to reveal any solutions to the puzzles, but some were so creative that I have never seen anything similar despite having done ~20 escape rooms in different cities. The puzzles were sufficiently hard that we had to ask for a few hints and got out with 7 SECONDS left. A lot of teamwork was required, and there was a sufficient number of puzzles to work on at the same time that all 5 of us always had something to do. The decorations were also very intricate and create an awesome atmosphere. The staff didn't intervene until we asked for hints. But since they were following our actions on camera, we did not have to explain where we were or what we were looking for at all, and got the exact hints we needed at that moment! They charge a set price per room, so it can be a little steep if your group has less participants. But I'd say it's totally worth it for this level of sophistication, organization and challenge. Can't wait to try the other rooms! read more

Great experience. Great Team. Our family has an amazing time. The room was clean, organized and everything functioned as intended.

I have done at least a dozen escape rooms and this is definitely in my top 3. It was so fun, entertaining and just the right amount of scary. The staff was amazing. Especially Mo and Joana! I am from California here visiting my son. We will definitely do another room when I return!!! read more

We had a great time, 10/10 would recommend! JOANNA was our guide who helped us get familiar with the puzzle and they guided us throughout the night. Thank you to Joanna for making our experience one to remember, and for being friendly and extremely kind. :) read more

Incredible! Would definitely recommend. So so fun and the staff was super helpful and friendly.

So good! We had a great time escaping the Lost Temple room with 18 minutes to spare! We might be getting better at this escape puzzle challenge thing! read more

Mo was an amazing guide and our whole family had such an amazing time. A great place and a fun night!

Mo was phenomenal and the experience was great! would come back in a heart beat. the room was fully handmade and some serious thought clearly went into the puzzle. wasn't easy but wasn't impossible read more

We did the Tomb Raider room and it was very enjoyable! A variety of types of puzzles and locks. Milo explained the rules and was kind and helpful! Great experience :) read more

loved this place! Best place for team events or bonding with your friends. Max really took care of us and we had a blast in the Seattle puzzle read more

way fun! a lot of puzzels to solve. J didn't expect to actually make it out! Which is probably due to our guide. Melissa was great! Helpful & helped make it fun! read more

We had a great experience at Puzzle Break! My group of 4 (2 veteran escape room goers and 2 newbies) did the Eventide Departure room and we had a blast. The theme and decor of the room was top notch. Our host Ruby was very helpful and professional (even when helping us deal with incorporating a very late member of our group). There was a great mix of puzzle types in this room, super creative use of the space/props, and some really challenging puzzles (but none that were pull-out-your-hair difficult). This is a GREAT room for experienced puzzle room goers looking for a fun new challenge! Though I would recommend trying out a different room first if you are in a group of people who have never done an escape room before. Looking forward to coming back to try out the other rooms! PRO TIP: Parking in this area is very difficult, especially on weekends. So make sure everyone in your group factors that challenge into their arrival plans ;) read more

They were ready for us and explained the rules and set up the scenario quickly. The puzzles weren't as hard as I'd liked, definitely needed the hardest setting for out group. Even my generally reluctant husband was all over the game once we got started. Excellent experience definitely going back. Brian read more

Such a fun experience! We did the Red Manor room and the room was the right amount of challenging for semi newbies and also a fun story line. The customer service was also great from staff. Darius was so helpful getting us checked in and set up with the rules of the game. Our Gamemaster Hugo was also great, they helped make sure to give us room to find stuff ourselves but knew when to step in and help when we were struggling ha! Will definitely come here again for my next puzzle. read more

Moe was our Host, and Darius was our hint giver, they did an absolutely fantastic job! It was a very fun experience. First time doing an escape room, and I was very impressed. Would definitely do it again. Thank you Puzzle Break!!! read more

We really liked the Puzzle Break challenges. This is our second challenge at Puzzle Break. Wonderful team members to guide you through the various challenges. Would definitely recommend. read more

It was my groups first time trying out an escape room here and it was an awesome experience! The room was challenging enough to really get our minds running while still having a fun time! read more

Sooo fun!!!! Our family loves checking out escape rooms in different areas. They are so fun and a great family challenge to do together! This place was fun, accommodating and just all around a great experience. From a fam that does these often, we recommend Puzzle Break in Seattle. PS we did Escape the Lost Temple. read more

During a trip to Seattle, I decided to do an escape room. Since I was by myself, I was able to join a group which consisted of a few escape room virgins! We played Escape the Lost Temple. The room itself was fairly challenging, and was not linear, so multiple subgroups worked on various parts simultaneously. There were 7 of us total, and while we were able to escape with just a few minutes to spare, I definitely felt that one needs a decent size group to complete this room. There were definitely some more non-traditional puzzles, and the decorations were fun. The rooms themselves were fairly self-contained and not all that big. We all appreciated the game walkthrough at the end as well. I also found it interesting that the game master stays with you inside the room the entire time. Unlimited hints. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, though nothing spectacular that wowed me. read more

What a gorgeous escape room! We had a lot of fun escaping Eventide for my daughter's birthday. Mo helped orient us and Holly was a terrific game master -- the two of them really made the experience special. We ranged from novice to fairly experienced (10+ rooms), and everyone was able to contribute and feel smart about solving something. The different puzzles also played to people's different strengths. And wowza! So many moments of delight thanks to the creative room design and story. This was our first time at Puzzle Break; we will definitely go back. read more

Super fun time with a group of middle schoolers for a birthday. Our gamemasters Mindy and Hugo were awesome and made for a great and memorable time. Thank you! read more

Very fun! Both Mo and Darius were extremely helpful and made our team game experience incredible. Would definitely come back!

My 4th time here and I'm still totally impressed. Multiple rooms get revealed as you go, very high-tech and clever challenges, very helpful and friendly staff. The sophistication of the riddles and quality of the room set-up far surpass the other escape rooms I have tried. This is the best in Western Washington. read more

I went there as a group of 5 for the Eventide Departure, and my hubby and I arrived just barely on time. Luckily they spend 30 minutes before starting the game (that's why it's 90 minutes instead of 60), so I think it's still fine to be late(?). The parking there isn't particular easy, especially on weekends. The 30 min explanation before you start the game was useful, and you can ask them any question you may have. It was well-guided and the technology usage in the puzzle room was quite nice. The puzzles were well constructed and fun, and it's easy to miss some clues, but eventually everything leads to what you need to solve the puzzle. I like how you could actually ask the staff member when you get stuck, and I heard from hubby that it's much better than "ninja escape" (?) that he did back then. I highly recommend this for anyone who are looking for some fun!! Pro tip: observe well and link the relationship between objects is the key of solving this particular puzzle. read more

NOT WORTH THE COST - there are escape rooms near this location at half the cost with much better puzzles and much more helpful staff.

We've done quite a few escape rooms. Escape from Seattle is up there with the best. Lots of fun. Good staff.

excellent escape rooms and fantastic guides! our guide helped us when we got stuck and made sure we had a great experience. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible. you gotta try this place out! read more

It was our first time trying an escape room, and Darius, Mindy, and Hugo did a great job giving us hints and making it more exciting. We will definitely recommend it! read more

Thank you for the great experience and really appreciate the thoughtfulness and friendly staff that help us. Darius was particularly helpful

I've been to two escape room in Europe and one on the east coast. All of those were light years better than Escape the Lost Temple. I wish we tried one of their other rooms, as I am sure they are better than this one. Puzzles were just fair, lighting was poor. Two employees stayed in the room with us. Although they were very nice, it just felt weird. I happen to love escape rooms and puzzles and this one was meh. In other rooms I've done, you had to work more with your team. This one you had to work separately to get everything accomplished. It felt like I was doing it alone and missed out on things. I didn't get to see the entire thing play out. That and two people in the room watching, made my experience rather underwhelming. Working alone may be what you are looking for and it may be good for a work-related-team-building exercise, but it was not fun for me. Did we finish: not quite. The ending was very convoluted. Am I upset that we didn't finish: No! Yes, that's the point, but it's the getting there that is supposed to be fun. It was not. read more

Pretty fun escape room! Took kids aged 11 to 13 years and they enjoyed it. Creative ideas for the themes of rooms and with the assortment of puzzles but the decor, games, and experience could have been more exciting and engaging with more surprises and an understandable story line. We rented a party room for extra money and the staff was overly stern and seemed annoyed with us being in this weird room nearby the gamers control rooms (I would not rent it again). It was a bit challenging to find the place (tiny sign on a door) and in a slightly sketchy part of town but fine overall. Glad to see escape rooms in Downtown. Our coordinator was helpful and polite which enhanced the whole experience. read more

Joanne and sunny were great! The puzzles were unique and challenging. Highly recommend.

Mo and Travis were great. Eventide departure was a fun room. We will go back to try the others.

What a great experience here. Went with my wife, sister-in-law and daughter. Our themed room was puppeteer. Clues were reasonable and room had great decoration. I only give it a four because I had been to Escape Hour in Tacoma which I would give a five. I would arrive early here since Seattle parking can be challenging. Have fun here. I know you will. read more

Always awesome. The hosts/games masters are great. Friendly, funny, and you can tell they love their job.

This place was lots of fun! The staff was very welcoming and helped us through our escape room. Mindy and Hugo made sure we had a great experience here. read more

I have played many escape rooms and this place now has my all time favorite room. Which is the Puppeteer's Workshop! The puzzles were creative and just the right amount of challenging. The room is even personalized in a cool way!! The staff was SUPER friendly and made the experience as great as it was. So huge thank you to Melissa, the game host and Joanna, the game master! read more

So fun, our boys (age 10) had a blast trying to escape the lost temple. We'll be back for more surprises!

Great escape room company! We have done the carnival and submarine escape rooms and they were both very cool! The more people you have then the more fun it will be. Arrive 15 minutes early so you do not have to worry about being late... parking may take some time too. If you are late they cannot let you in because it will throw off the schedule for everyone else. They have so many cool puzzles that focus on a variety of skills. I love the word puzzles but they also have number/pattern puzzles and some that are slightly more science related. The staff is all nice and can provide a little bit of help if you need it. Nothing is scary... some people seem to be worried about that. No photos allowed but they will take a group picture for you at the end. read more
