Tom Anderson is doing what he loves, and it's hard to not feel that infectious passion he has for the escape room culture when coming here. This business isn't housed in the flashy of buildings or a destination town, but that doesn't matter. What matters are the creative worlds you step into once the door behind you is closed. You'll forget where you are and you'll forget who you really are (am I bank robber? am I zombie apocalypse survivor?). The only thing that matters? Getting. Out. Annnnnd, even if you don't, there will still be a friendly smile escorting you out of your failed game and offering you some candy! As with every escape room I IMPLORE YOU to do this with friends. Escape Rooms usually only suck when you get thrown into doing them with people you don't really know (and can't yell at, push over, and literally fall down on top of, and still be cool with when the game's over). I've had the pleasure of doing a couple rooms here now, and - I think this is a sign of an exceptionally run business - I can't wait to come back. I can't wait to try every single new room one that opens up in the future! In talking with the owner, he seems very keen on doing innovative things that other rooms in Maine haven't gotten to (solo or couples games? puzzles that break down the fourth wall? live creatures? sensory stimulation? madness, I tell you! madness!) and that's what's going to continue to set Tom apart.

Okay - first, I love Escape Rooms. That needs to be said. If you are into brain teasers, riddles,…read moreand math/logic problems and you haven't checked out anEscape Room - what are you waiting for?? Escape Room 207 is a perfect place to get your toes wet in this immersive gaming experience. Tom (owner/operator) has created some amazing puzzles paired with great themes. It is clear that the puzzles are well thought out and have continuity (trust me - this matters). The rooms are well themed and have some unexpected surprises - including one that I haven't seen anywhere else. I'm looking forward to returning here in the future to try out his other rooms. Definitely worth the drive out of Portland proper. Check it out! You won't regret it.

We booked a room here a month in advance. With only a couple of days notice, the company cancelled…read moreour reservation, stating they had the room under construction. I had to scramble to find another escape room for our kids' birthday. Additionally, they only gave a partial refund. No escape room, no warning, partial refund. Since then, I have contacted them 3 times, and have heard absolutely nothing back. I also have not received my full refund. Do yourself a favor. Book an escape room experience with Escape Augusta or with Bangor Escape Rooms (which is where we ended up that day - awesome experience!) I cannot urge you enough to stay away from this place.

Easy to find, lots of parking behind the strip. Our clue master was very nice and a fun guy. I did the jail room and it hit everything I dislike in escape rooms. The worst thing for me is red herrings. One or two here and there is fine. But there are more red herrings than solutions. There are about 6 puzzles to solve and that's it. There's not much related to the theme or connecting puzzles to locks. You just have to guess what might go where. It is not intuitive at all. There's also no tech, which isn't necessarily bad. Escape 207, for example, does no to low tech rooms and they focus on nailing ambiance and storytelling so you don't realize there's no tech. But in the quickly evolving world of escape rooms, if you don't have the capacity of utilizing electronic or pressure plate/magnetized locks, you have to nail the full story experience or the room falls flat. If I happened to be in the area, I would consider trying another room, solely based on the pleasantries exchanged with the clue master. But I would not make a trip more than 30 minutes. Maine has a lot of escape options that are unfortunately a more solid experience overall.

Bangor Escape rooms came up and had good reviews so I called and how lucky were we to get in within an hour. DJ was super helpful and accommodating to us. The four of us did the Italian diner room and managed to escape with 6:47 minutes using 4 clues. We liked it so much we decided to try our luck and do another the next day. We got in immediately a little after opening time and did the kings medieval room. This was a bit harder but super complex. Each room cost us $100. We had a great time!

Spoiler free review!…read more My 41st room, we definitely pulled a rabbit out of our hat to get out of this mindbender of a room. Fun physical props and an interesting theme made this room exciting for the time we spent solving and puzzling our way out. A few things that put us off right away though: youre only allowed one clue to make the leaderboard, and they frown upon solving puzzles without all the pieces, something that just kind of happens in other rooms if you've done a few in the past... Anyway, the room was very well put together theoretically. You walk in, are presented with some puzzles, and set on your way. Not unlike other rooms! A fun little experience gets you going, you have a laugh and start to jump into it all. We accidentially skipped a few puzzles- knowing they frowned on it, we stopped and tried to solve the others, but it did feel a bit like they were artificially inflating the difficulty by adding a bunch of puzzles that weren't needed. Some of the technology didn't function as planned (or at all)- some boxes were already open and others could have been avoided entirely if the room was configured slightly differently. A number of groups on the leaderboard touted times of 19-25min remaining, which makes sense thinking of the room now, with a little ingenuity and experience with their line of thinking, you too can nail those times! Worth a try for sure if you're in the area, but go a little farther north to experience the other rooms in the area first if it's your first time! GTFO is worth a visit for sure, but keep an open mind and have a good time. Our group left unsatisfied with our win, but it won't dissuade us from conquering another experience in the future!
