What People Are Saying
Having done over 100 escape experiences, I will say that The Great Escape Room Tampa offers a really solid escape experience! We did Escape the Colosseum: The Underworld Maze and Arcade Challenge. Both rooms were about mid-range on tech, with some traditional combo locks or key locks and some triggered moments where a magnet disengages and opens something. The Colosseum was a different experience designed as a set of four 30-minute rooms that you progress through, each with their own unique puzzles and challenges. I thought the collection of rooms was well themed and offered interesting puzzles to solve. The Arcade room was more traditional, though I did really like the themeing and style. Our game masters, Raquel & JM, were energetic, friendly, and helpful. It's unfortunate that they don't seem to keep a record of best times for anyone that likes to see how they fare against others, and their website is extremely unhelpful when trying to determine the difficulty of their rooms. The game masters were happy to assist with the difficulty factor, but by the time you're talking to them, you've probably already booked a room and arrived. I appreciate that they offer encore room pricing, where you get a discount for running another room after you finish one. They also have a nice, large lounge for waiting for your game to begin or waiting between games. Overall, I think this is a great choice for anyone new to escape rooms or looking for a new take on a traditional escape experience!

this place is so SO much fun! i have done almost every room and all of them are a blast. this most recent time we went to do the presidents bunker and finished pretty fast. since we were there and i won’t be back in tampa for a bit, we asked if we could do the bros for life because we’ve had our eye on it for forever but haven’t been able to snag any of the bookings. J MONEY went out of his way to make sure we could do it and set the room up right then and there. bros for life was THE BEST. definitely my favorite room (followed closely by the colosseum and mountaintop murders). JMoney was absolutely FANTASTIC (we’ve also had david and mckenzie who were also very cool) and again so quick to accommodate!

I had an incredible time at this escape room! From the moment I walked in, the entire team made the experience unforgettable. Huge shoutout to JM, David, Leo, Mackenzie, Kristen, and Raquel — every single one of them was awesome. Their energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm made everything run smoothly and kept the whole experience fun and engaging. The room itself was creative, challenging, and super well-designed. You can tell the staff truly enjoys what they do, and it shows in how much effort they put into making sure guests have a great time. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, immersive, and memorable escape room adventure!
We had 9 people in our group and had such a good time! The Presidential Bunker room was great, definitely challenging,kept everyone busy but we made it out with 4 min to spare!! Great mix of puzzles and decoding. David was a Fantastic host and he even took some AMAZING photos for us! He's definitely hired lol. Memories were made! I'm sure we'll be back
Our experience at The Great Escape Room was absolutely phenomenal! JM, David, and McKenzie (and Tommy!) were beyond amazing so interactive, fun, and really made the whole adventure unforgettable. We had such a great time that we drove in from all over Tampa Bay just to visit this spot, and it was 100% worth it. If I could give them 20 stars, I would! Five stars just doesn’t feel like enough for such an incredible experience. We’re already planning our next visit this place is a must for anyone looking for a fantastic, immersive escape room adventure.
