10/10 would highly recommend!!!…read more 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!

The most unexpected thing about playing escape rooms in the Salt Lake City area is how many…read morebusinesses are mindful of the need for couple date-night experiences, and how cleverly they are able to tailor bigger rooms to suit smaller ones. Mystery Escape Room, with locations in Salt Lake City as well as Tucson, did just that with their European Café mystery game, Café Amour, which we picked because it was a 40-minute escape room designed for 2 people, and it was rated mildly challenging. When we were booking our game, we saw on the web site that Mystery Escape Room does not offer refunds on cancelled bookings, but are more than happy to reschedule our visit, or place our tickets on will call to be used at any time and does not ever expire, which was good, because it was a bit of a drive for us to get to The Gateway shopping mall in downtown Salt Lake City. We need not have worried, however: getting to The Gateway was not a bad drive at all on a Saturday morning. The standard mall parking offered off street have their own app so it took us a while to get out of the car, but a short walk through the mall concourse, then up and down the escalator later and we found ourselves at the escape room - 30 full minutes before opening time at noon! Happily, the door was unlocked, and we were able to seat ourselves in the lobby and look through the 3-D image books and Elf-on-a-Shelf photo album while waiting. There were also puzzles on the bookcase, which was held a surprise in itself. Our fantastic game host, Kiki, was able to fit us a whole half hour early, which was more than great, because it was already 98°F out at 11:30am, and there was scant shade in the outdoor mall. The introductory video was self-produced and very amusing, and just gave Kiki the exact amount of time to get the room ready early and show us into the very dark second lobby. The game started even before we entered Lobby 2, and even that was only the preamble to our real experience, which finally started after we made our way through a themed doorway. Café Amour is a perfect date-night (or day) G1 (very low-tech, with conventional locks and lots of brain work) game, which took us to the streets of old Europe, from the glass-stained windows to the wood-and-brick décor. The rules of the game were laid out clearly ahead of time, and Kiki was terrific keeping us on track - very important for a short-term room. Since this game is a more intimate game within at least two other rooms, we really appreciated the clear labels on what was not part of the game. Our favourite puzzle was the one we had to solve using playing cards, and although the word association puzzle was interesting, it was also confusing because it didn't seem in-theme. This probably had to do with the fact that Café Amour was part of a larger experience, and our exit also did not seem to fully complete the one (café mystery) experience. It was / is, however, a clever way to entice us to continue our escape room experience with them again. This was our only gripe, and why this is a four-star review rather than a 5. The short-term rooms at The Escape Date and A Great Escape (both previously reviewed) were more dedicated and focused. That said, we really enjoyed our time at Café Amour and the big perk was the freebie take-home at the end. There was a clock in the room that was not used but our time of 33:45 was meticulously tracked by Kiki, who actually did a five-star job. We remain constantly surprised by how ingeniously all the different rooms in Utah are conceptualized and built, and we are really appreciative of how all our game hosts so far have taken the trouble to appear in costume and character. Our games have not been just "our" games, and it's so refreshing to see gamemasters enjoying our game along with us. We can't wait to try out the other rooms offered by Mystery Room - and soon!

My wife purchased the experience for my birthday, and she went ahead since I was still paying for parking. I walked down down the stairs at the corner of the hotel, and let me tell you - you are not prepared for what you are in for. Opening the door I was instantly in the subway, complete with train rumbling and just feel in the air of what it was like growing up in New York City. The second set of doors led me inside, where our ticket-taker, Tyler, greeted me with a birthday welcome. The entrance is exquisitely done, with Japanese snacks available "before boarding". They had some of the more common ones, like Pocky sticks, but a few I haven't seen since way back before I moved to Utah. Time came for our train, and I was given a token to purchase from the vending machine. Thus began our adventure. Spoiler free, but quick object of the game here is not to win quicky, but to experience the story WHILE winning. Winning, in this sense, was collecting soul tokens, to be turned in after the game. There are tons of puzzles and games to figure out, a lot of storytelling in the background, and for me (who may be slightly older than the normal demographic) there was so many artifacts and historical callouts that I was amazed. Everything from the original Godzilla Kaiju from the 1950s, to Astroboy, old Nintendo games in their original Japanese, photos, and so much more - if you like Japanese history at all, you'll be fascinated by that alone. Some of the puzzles were fairly difficult, others our team were able to figure out without relatively too much trouble, We were paired with a really good group of 4 people, who made the experience enjoyable and, despite a probably 15+ year age difference, we meshed fairly well with our skills and strengths. Special shoutout to Tyler, though, who is committed through and through to the part. Extremely welcoming, genial, and knowledgeable, he was a fantastic part of the experience. I even got a few little items to take home for my birthday, which I have happily displayed at my desk. I appreciate "the bald guy" and really want him to get recognized for such a great experience. All in all? I was thoroughly entertained by the aesthetics in general, I loved the overall feel of the experience, even weeks later I am still amazed by some of the items they have even in the opening room, and I've recommended it to a ton of people. A+ entertainment in Utah, something I really hope they expand on.

We managed to snag the last 2 spots that opened up during the 5:05 time slot before our flight back home. The branding was very impressive. The initial theme was Japanese subway station, and the entrance to the escape room was underground and through a cool little hallway that reminded me completely of the movie, "Exit 8". As we entered the lobby, we were greeted by the most enthusiastic, welcoming, and professional host, Tyler, who gave us a great rundown on what to expect and the format of the game. We were told that we were not only to purely focus on solving the clues, but also to look for coins that we can collect as "soul coins"? And having more of those will win us more points. We were paired with another group of 4, where 3 of them had done this experience before. Then mentioned that they will let the newbies try to "figure out most of the clues". Unfortunately the other group was very enthusiastic, and ended up just giving us instructions the entire time on how to solve each clue. I spent a lot of my time just wandering and looking for coins, because I feel that everyone else completely took over the clues, and I didn't have much of a chance to "figure anything out". There were a few spaces in the rooms that only fit 1-2 people, so I don't even think I got to see the entire rooms. At the end of the game, Tyler noticed that I was a bit upset because I personally did not have a good time. They offered to refund us, as well as gave us an option to come back and try the experience again. I felt pretty bad because my experience had nothing to do with how the game was run, we were just unfortunate paired with the wrong people. I would definitely come back again to give the game another change, but I would try to bring enough friends to fill an entire group! Thanks Tyler and owner for being so understanding and empathetic of the situation, I am blown away by the hospitality and compassion of the company. The rooms are beautiful, creative, and super interactive. Next time I would definitely come back and try to touch everything so I get the full experience!
