This was my first time doing an escape room in Florida as I've done many out of state before, but I was disappointed with the customer service and attitude from some of the employees that assisted us with our escape room. The rooms were not too impressive either in which contained some items that were broken/ damaged that were a little distracting during my experience. The combination of these two things left a sour taste in my mouth as I am an escape room enthusiast and had the worst experience throughout my career at this establishment.

We had a great time. It was our first time experiencing an escape room. We did get “stuck in the 80’s”. But we had so much fun. We will definitely be back!!!

We had a great time doing the Stuck in the 80’s room! The clues were fun to solve. We picked this room because I thought the movie theater one would be too hard for the kids, but we solved it in less than 45min. If you’ve done an escape room before did definitely recommend doing one of their more difficult rooms! Staff was great, the place was clean and the game was fun! I definitely recommend!

These escape rooms were a blast! The puzzles were fun, innovative and perfectly challenging for our group. The themes were creative plus the Game Master was super friendly. We had a great time working together to escape all four rooms and recommend these rooms.

It was a very enjoyable experience for my family. The young lady was very informative and explained the instructions to us extremely well. The facility was clean and inviting. My entire attending family really had a great time and we look forward to returning for a more challenging experience 😊 #checkmate
People Also Ask
What is your cancellation policy?
You must call us 24 hours in advance or cancel via your confirmation email to receive a customer credit. Refunds are not processed unless the mistake is on our part. Failure to follow this process may result in no customer credit.
What happens if I arrive late for my booking?
We operate on a strict schedule. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, that time will be deducted from your experience. If you are more than 30 minutes late, your booking will be canceled without a customer credit or rebooking, unless you provide at least one hour's notice.
How can I reschedule my escape room experience?
We can reschedule your booking if you give us more than one hour's notice. For rescheduling requests with less than one hour's notice, a $15 rebooking fee will apply, with no exceptions, including customer booking errors.
What is the policy regarding excessive force or inappropriate behavior?
Excessive force, cursing at game masters, or drunk/disorderly conduct is not tolerated. Players not complying with rules will be removed without a refund. Groups causing damage will be charged for repairs or replacement, as all experiences are video recorded.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Weekday bookings require a minimum of 30 minutes advance notice. On weekends, we may accept walk-ins, but availability is not guaranteed as customers often book online in advance. We cannot accommodate walk-ins if there is no availability or an upcoming booking.
Are waivers required for participation?
Yes, all players, including minors, must sign a waiver before starting their experience. We recommend completing waivers in advance. If waivers are not completed beforehand, please arrive 15 minutes early, as outstanding waivers will reduce your experience time.
