Absolutely LOVED our experience at this escape room! We did the Jailbreak room and it was perfect for beginners like us — just the right amount of challenge with a 5/10 difficulty. From the second we walked in, the vibes were on point. The room made me feel like I was actually in jail and had to escape for real — it was super fun!
A huge shoutout to Jesus (Ha-Zeus), who was seriously the best game master! He was so kind and gave us great clues without giving anything away — just the right nudge when we needed it. (Which was ALOT😬) Plus, using the walkie-talkie to talk to him made it feel even more legit. And don’t even get me started on the chicken dance — I wasn’t expecting to bust a move in jail, but I LOVED it 😂
All in all, this place gets a full 5 stars from me. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the other rooms. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, well-run escape experience!
Thanks again, Jesus.

The last alchemist room was super cool!!! Not overly difficult with a lot of great features and ideas. Test your logic skills :) My 12 year old and I had a wonderful fun time, and we are planning on another trip soon.

This was so much fun!
My nephew (18) and I were looking for something to do before ending our day out and he found the No Escape Room. We called at 8:45 and they said there was only one room available, if we could arrive by 9. It was tight, but we made it.
The gps said the No Escape Room was where the Burger King is. There is a very small sign pointing you in the direction of the main entrance to the Plaza Verde. There was plenty of parking.
Sweet Potato warned us this was the most challenging room, but with a lot of clues, we were almost able to escape before the time ran out. She even offered to give us five more minutes to finish, but we decided to save the ending for a future visit.
The room was a little sparse, but the use of technology meant they could pack a surprisingly large amount of clues into the space. I do not want to provide any spoilers, but we had a great time and will definitely be back.
PS- It is recommended to reserve your room ahead of time. We were lucky, mostly because Sweet Potato was willing/able to stay late. We really appreciate everything she did for us!

Went to the School of Magic and it was fantastic! My wife and another couple thought it was challenging, yet doable. The hints were very good and they pointed you in the right direction. I would recommend No Escape for anyone looking for something fun and affordable to do. The staff was very pleasant and positive. We will definitely being going back to try the other rooms!

My team visited the Alchemist Room for a team building event and it was great experience. The staff was extremely friendly, patient and accommodating and we had a really fun time. It was the right level of challenging that kept it interesting and enjoyable, while allowing us to bond as a team in a fun setting. I highly recommend it!
