I've done the Great Room Escape's Tomb of Cleopatra room twice this summer - once with four 11-year-olds and once with four 13-year-olds. This room was a FANTASTIC fit for both groups. Lots of hands-on puzzles and clues, not too hard for younger groups to be successful, but tons of fun. Booking was easy and straightforward as well. Loved everything about our experiences.

Just had an amazing time at Great Room Escape San Diego! 🔐🎉
From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience smooth and exciting. The room we did was creative, well-designed, and had just the right mix of challenge and teamwork. Every puzzle kept us thinking, laughing, and working together as a group.
If you’re looking for a fun way to bond with family or friends, this is definitely the spot. We left with big smiles and even bigger memories. Highly recommend!

Was pretty fun. We managed to get out within 2 minutes of the full 60 minute long challenge. It's absolutely worth the 35 bucks for it. All of its fun critical thinking needed to beat the clock!
