Omg this was SO fun! The guy running it was so hilarious and enthusiastic. It was such a fun idea for a date night!...

Spoiler alert: we called a hit on the wrong guy so we lost. Womp Womp 🤣

Absolutely will recommend to friends and will go back!read more

This was such a fun activity for my teen’s birthday and I wish we’d come here for more birthdays during our short stay... here. Hope we get to visit again!

The escape rooms are run smoothly, by a friendly owner who seems to really enjoy his job, which makes it even more fun!read more

This place is epic! The scene is set so well; the girls I was with were convinced the police were going to come grab... them if they didn’t solve the mystery!
Dave (the owner) is great at reading people, know how intense to make the story and giving just the right hints when asked. The rooms are so detailed, right down to the footprints that you can only see with the black light.
We’ve done a few of the rooms with different groups of teens and adults. Such a great experience!read more

Amazing experience, have been wanting to trade for a long time now but I have not been able to make any profit. I saw a... recommendation on a YouTube crypto channel about Mrs Brenda Elias and I must confess that she is one of the best trader I've ever seen. She managed my account after I invested $1,300 I withdraw $10,500 within a week. I strongly recommend that you work with her there's no chance of losing when you work with Brenda. DM her

What a great experience. We are from Canada. We were looking for a fun activity while in the States. This did not... disappoint. We did not complete as it was 1 adult and 2 kids. But mind blowing on secrets involved. We did the "family fortune". Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun outing.read more

We did the family fortune room with a 13 and 10 year old and had a blast. What I loved is that when they see the kids... begin to get frustrated they immediately throw in a hint so that the experience remains fun even if you are unable to complete it. Our guide was great! It was well worth the $ for the hour of entertainment. Highly recommend.read more

I definitely recommend The Escape Works. Dave is great. He has a great sense of humor and very down to earth with a... great personality. He has designed these rooms with great expertise and challenge. My daughter, her friend, my niece and I did the CSI room the first day. We got out, but unfortunately “whacked” the wrong person so we failed. So we went back the next day to help Aunt Edna and we also got out there but failed there as well :( . It was an amazing, challenging time for both of them, and I definitely give 10/10. We will be back sometime to finish them all!read more

It was a lot of fun- the storyline and plot were great (kind of ironic that I got perplexed by the artwork). 😳... Clever clues- really challenges your problem solving skills. We didn’t do Aunt Edna right, but we at least owned it! 😜 Lol We were REALLY so close! 😄 Thanks Kenzie Galloway for bringing me along for the ride this time! 🤗 Trent and you sure know how to show a DQ stranger a good time! 😉 Lolread more
