    Last room in Prison Break

    Went for my birthday with 5 friends and it was such a blast. Prison break is the funniest escape Room I've ever done. Would definitely recommend this to all my friends and family. Ben was our helpful guide and he also made it a fun experience! Can't wait to come back and try more rooms!

    Come check out The Escape Game! We have a nifty escape room group that have somehow become addicted to escape rooms in the last year. We decided to check this one out. We opted to try out The Depths. It was a submarine theme. We really loved this room. It is probably our second favorite of the eight that we have tried so far. It was very intricate, and had three rooms within it to solve puzzles in, which is always much better than being wedged in one room the entire time. It was a bit of a challenge, but we managed to escape with one minute remaining! I really liked that we were allowed to take pictures in this room for better memories. We do want to try out the Recess room but it seems we need a bigger team for that one. My only complaint is that you can't keep the room as private if you don't buy all the slots. At any given time, you could end up with strangers reserving the extra slots and joining you. Awkward. Every other business we have tried locks up that slot once we book some. Luckily, no strangers joined us on this particular adventure. I do highly recommend checking this place out regardless. The staff is very nice and the room we did was very well laid out and detailed.

    This place escape room is so immersive. We tried the Heist and we tried Cosmic Crisis. Cosmic crisis was my favorite so far as you really need to have team work to get out! Really recommend it. I can't wait to try some other ones! Be back very soon!

    The experience was a better escape room experience with very professional, well built rooms, and a great staff to help guide us / answer any questions we had. Our group was paired with another group to fulfill the capacity and we were okay with that and I'm glad we did. The room itself was challenging with multiple step puzzles, multiple rooms, and plenty of coordination needed / puzzles that link to each other that would have been more difficult with less people. I am excited to come back and try their other rooms for sure.

    Terrible service. The game was no prepared fully so we were interrupted during the game which affected us because we were not sure what we were trying to solve. Then after the game the staff were not apologetic at all and even were very dismissive. My group of 4 do escape rooms all the time so we know that if you purchase a card for the next time it will be a different price but the staff didn't even offer it to us I had to remind them. Not sure what was happening this time but truly disappointing. If you want friendly service I'd advise to go to any other location like the spectrum who always takes great care of you !

    It was such a wonderful experience! The puzzles and technology were so intuitive and creative. I also feel like they were all varied yet seamlessly connected to each other. The escape room itself was so well made and accessible. Also, one thing I like that The Escape Game does is that they have built in coat hangers and storage in the room itself! After the game, they offer a discount to do another game or a gift card to use for a future visit. Can't wait to try the rest!

    My wife and I booked the Playground and ran it with our 5 year old. Our game master was Chelsea and she did an amazing job keeping us engaged and was able to task our daughter with things to keep us all working and moving along. We decided to use a 40% off same day booking to run the Heist, also with our 5 year old. The heist was certainly more difficult than the Playground but was also great. Our Game master this time was Gyng. Overall it was a fantastic end to the Summer and absolutely ignited our Daughter's interest in Escape Rooms. Both the front end staff and the Game Masters made the experience incredible, fun, memorable and we will be back to try all of the games here. Everything was well maintained and clean, also great location to do other stuff while you're in the area.

    The Escape Game will always be one of my favorite escape room companies. I've solved a majority of escape rooms with different friend groups by this company and I have to say that my absolute favorite of all-time had to be "Prison Break". It's definitely a memorable one for sure, but I would advise bringing a larger party for this difficult room! Also, I included a few key points down below to help anybody who's trying to figure out what room to do: Best Escape Rooms (in my personal opinion): - Prison Break - The Heist Runner-Up Escape Rooms with more complicated puzzles aka I struggled in these more lol (in my personal opinion): - Cosmic Crisis - The Depths - Playground All in all, I always recommend this company to my friends and they always have a great time with The Escape Game as well!

    Our guide! She was so nice!!!

    Our room was the playground it was so much fun! We had just finished with very little time left. Our host who was there for us when we needed the clues! Lol she was so kind and funny . We definitely loved the escape room and loved all the puzzles will definitely be coming back soon!

    So fun! So far we have done 2 rooms (back To back, we couldn't wait!)They do take last minute reservations so by the time you're done with your shopping your escape room will be ready! Staff members are all super helpful, they do not penalize you for asking for clues you have one hour to escape and some rooms are more challenging than others. Definitely a day for family day, friends day or even a date. Can't wait to finish all the rooms!

    Huge shoutout to our game master, T, for making this the best escape room experience I have ever had! I do not say that lightly. I have done escape rooms across the country and this is now my favorite location. Unfortunately, I live in Las Vegas, but I'll make sure to stop by when I'm in the area again. Las Vegas has a location on the Strip that was my favorite before I experienced the Orange location. I have completed Prison Break, the Heist, Gold Rush, Rugrats & the Playground at the Las Vegas location, that is how much I love the escape rooms created by this company. I completed the Timeline escape room with my boyfriend, brother, and my brother's gf. We had a blast. Even my boyfriend, who normally dislikes escape rooms talked about how much fun he had. T made our experience special by creating a sheet she laminated of our sayings while we played the game. I have never had a game master do that, so it was truly appreciated. We also got a little ticket at the beginning with our names on it that we are hanging on to for our memories. Thank you for bringing us joy and laughter T!

    This is a nice place for either a rage room or an escape room…read more A few weeks ago, I did a rage room experience here, which was my first time doing a rage room. Marc, the owner, was very nice and kind. He even allowed me to do a special request where I wore an outfit (which is a Morpshuit with t-shirt and shorts) underneath the gear used for the rage room. Very kind of him to accommodate this. I have never done a rage room before, so it was a unique experience. Shattering glass, and breaking things felt very liberating and it helped me release tension/anger. Additionally, at the very end, there was even another surprise where Marc even taught me how to throw ninja stars on the wooden board. It was super cool. At first, I couldn't get any ninja stars to stick, but on one of my final attempts, I actually did get the ninja star to stick, which was awesome!! I was pretty elated that I was able to do that! Anyways, shout out to Marc the owner for being very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cool, friendly place to do a rage room or an escape room. I should check out their escape rooms some time soon.

    Overall a positive experience with a couple of cons:…read more - When we arrived, there wasn't any clear instructions of where/what we should do as there is no front desk. Also took a while before someone came out to help (I think they were in the back assisting maybe another customer?) but some signage would help. - Waivers could be sent prior to arrival to save on time since it was a google form - staff could be more welcoming and better at explaining. I understand it may be sketchy to go to a customer's car to evaluate items brought from home since it could be a risk to the staff, but I think it could either be instructed earlier before arrival OR simply just state that you cannot leave the business. The delivery of the comment made by the staff was not very smooth (almost felt like implying we were bringing something bad or wrong). - A timer inside the room might be helpful as it's hard to keep track of time once you're destroying things. - Phone "mount" could be better secured with a clasp or something because one bump and our phone fell on the ground where there's shards and scraps everywhere. This could have easily scratched the phone. - Room felt cramped, but understand that may be limited by the size of the store space. - Half of the group was arriving late, in which I shared upfront and thought that the staff would assist in getting them as ready as possible before our first group came out to swap, but when I came out, I saw that they had not even begun to change. I understand the face shield and gloves are limited quantities, but they could have started fitting in the other items like jumpsuit and face coverings. - Also as we were swapping, I ended up giving the second group the instructions when it really should have been the staff to give them the run through. It felt very disorganized during the swapping. For the price, I think it would be nice if each group received at least one larger item and not just cups, plates, and glass. All-in-all, it was fun to let out some rage by wrecking things and not having to clean it up. My friends and I did enjoy this different experience. Also fun to watch them from the room cam inside the Axe Room as they rage.

    This was my first escape room and I feel incredibly privileged to say Curse of the Black Knight set…read morethe standard! Funny enough, it felt similar to classic video game puzzles, like ones you'd find in Legend of Zelda. Even though it was my first experience, that familiarity totally sucked me in and I was hooked. I also want to appreciate room set up, build, sound, music, and over all design. The quality of the room was phenomenal, and there were moments I stopped to appreciate how it all came together. Great job EscapeX, we hope to be back soon!

    Our family visits escape rooms regularly and has done enough of them to understand the rules,…read moreetiquette, and the importance of protecting a room's puzzles and intellectual property. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences we've had. We booked this room as part of our Father's Day celebration and spent over $200 for our family of five. During the game, the operator abruptly entered the room and informed us we were being removed for taking photos. He stated that he had warned us multiple times over the microphone, but none of us heard a single warning. Had we heard even one warning, we would have immediately stopped. In fact, my son works at an escape room and is very familiar with industry expectations and the reasons behind them. We are not the type of customers who intentionally break rules. What was most frustrating was not the rule itself. If a business has a strict no-photo policy, that's completely understandable. The problem was the complete lack of willingness to consider that their communication system may not have been heard. When we explained that nobody in our group heard any warning, the conversation quickly became about defending the decision rather than trying to understand what happened. The result was that our Father's Day outing ended with our family being escorted out, confused, embarrassed, and upset. My daughters were nearly in tears because they felt like they were being treated as if they had done something intentionally wrong. Mistakes and misunderstandings happen. What separates great businesses from poor ones is how they handle them. A simple conversation, a chance to correct the behavior, or even a willingness to investigate whether the warnings were actually audible would have gone a long way. Instead, we left feeling that customer experience was secondary to enforcing a policy. I rarely leave negative reviews and generally prefer to support local businesses. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this experience.
