I didn’t catch the name of the two gentlemen that were working when my party of 8 came in but they were both amazing and made the whole experience before, during and afterwards very enjoyable and special. We did the Curse of the mummy and Loved it !! We escaped thanks to clues we definitely needed lol. Will definitely come back
Tino is AMAZING. Great energy as soon as we walked through the door. He is awesome I truly enjoyed this place because of him and his ability to explain the game without giving anything away. 10/10 would come again!
My wife and I LOVE this place! We have come back 3 times in the last year, and every room we have done has been incredible! Luke gave us GREAT service and helped a lot when we needed hints without giving too much away. We cannot wait to come back again, and HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for an incredible escape room experience!
Did Fright Before Your Eyes with my wife. It was around 7 or 8 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. This room was such an awesome experience. We got it done together needing only a couple of clues at the very end. Luke welcomed us in, clearly explained instructions, and hosted a great time for us. 5/5 we will be back.
We booked Fright Before Your Eyes and I love horror themed things and its an escape room so why not? I must say that this was one of the best escape rooms I have ever experienced. The story was interesting and to solve the puzzles it involves numerous steps which got you thinking outside of the box. We managed to get out at the very last minute and time flew by so fast. Highly recommend this and will definitely try another one when I'm back in Orlando....
An escape room is a real-life adventure game where you explore immersive environments and solve challenges and puzzles to achieve a goal, all while racing against the clock with your friends and family.
Our goal is for you to have fun. Some rooms are more thrilling, but generally, our games are built for all ages and do not feature scare actors or jump scares. We can adjust lighting and sound if needed.
We recommend eating something energizing and wearing comfortable clothes. Get plenty of sleep, do some stretches, and plan with your team to maximize your experience.
Yes, absolutely! The door to your escape room is never locked, allowing you to exit at any time to use the restroom or take a call.
There are no negative consequences for not escaping on time. We'll encourage you to try again or are happy to answer any questions you have about the game you played.
Our games range from 75 minutes to 2 hours, making us home to Florida's longest escape room. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early for registration and warm-up puzzles.
Children aged 6 and older can play. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and teenagers 16 and up require a guardian's signature on a digital waiver.
Reserving your escape room experience in advance is highly recommended to guarantee your preferred game and time, as walk-ins are welcome but availability is not guaranteed.
