    I have been to a few escape rooms around town and tonight's visit to A Harrowing Escape was by far my favorite! First of all, you might find it a little strange if you are required to wear socks, but I assure you, that means the room will be a lot of fun. Additionally, they have a "shop cat," so what's not to love... They even have a section of cat toys for you to play with the cat. The room itself was perfection... Obviously you can't get into details, but suffice it to say the set up was impeccable and the effects were fantastic and we left the room with four minutes to spare and a definite sense of euphoria! Also the price was right as compared with some of the more expensive rooms. If you like escape rooms, I highly recommend this family owned operation!

    Super fun thing to do with the family and maybe if your lucky like us get teamed up with some awesome people who helped alot. Got out of Toxicity Room with a few minutes to spare and only needed a few clues. Would definitely do this again with the family.

    First time here, pretty fun. We did the Dr.Lycan room. Nothing jump out but someone banged and growl at the door. Scared the crap out of our group lol. We had to use 7 hints for us to finish. It was pretty intense. Our brains cells were fried but had a total blast.

    4 Stars for a really fun escape room experience at a family-owned small biz! My sister got some Groupon deals for this biz for our family to do an outing now that we're all vaccinated. It was a bit complicated redeeming them online, so I called and Kayley helped me out. She was super friendly and got us sorted! When we arrived, we walked in (with masks- everyone wears masks inside, which is great) and immediately saw a cat! They have a shop cat that they rescued and he's very friendly. I'm allergic to cats, so I didn't touch him, but the masks kept me from getting itchy and once I removed my mask in the escape room, I was fine (I assume the kitty doesn't go in those rooms). We got checked in by scanning a QR code to sign a quick consent form. Bonus- if you include your email address in this form, you will get your photos sent to you (the ones they take of your group after you escape). We were led back to watch the intro video and get some basic instructions. One thing I wish they did was start you in the actual escape room with a video, because the screen showed 5 files of videos (one for each escape room) and it just really didn't feel immersive at that point. I've had that at other escape rooms and it really sets you in the scene and mood. We were then led down the hall to the escape room and the immersive experience began. We did The Woods, which is not an easy room at all. I won't give too much away, but we definitely needed a lot of clues throughout the escape room and, although we ultimately made it in time, I think some of it would be impossible to figure out without clues (not intuitive, and lots of red herrings that lead to nothing). With that being said, it was really fun and we had a great time. Overall, this is a great, family-owned option if you want to enjoy an escape room without having to head to I-Drive and go for a big company.

    We didn't win. It was still fun!

    Pretty cool establishment. We are escape room novice and weren't prepared for how challenging some of the clues would be. Our Game Master (Tony) was very helpful in keeping the game going and had some fun scaring us too. We didn't win, but it was definitely fun. The Dr Lycan room was well themed. You a real one Tony, we'll definitely be back!

    O-town this is the escape room for yo. OMG!!! After waiting 4 years my sisters and I finally got to do it. And it was worth the place. We did The Woods room and wow it was so much fun time just flew by. I guess it does when you having such a great time. And Brittany.......BRITTANY WAS THE BEST. She was beyond helpful and very knowledgeable about everything. Yes we have already booked for next room. This is a DEFINITE YES from me.

    Wow I meant to write this review a while ago! I had never been to an escape room before and have been wanting to for a while. Hubs suggested we go with his sister and her husband. I looked around and found a groupon for this location that made it very reasonably priced. We booked a 5:30 time slot for the Doctor Lycan room so we could have dinner after. The staff was super friendly and helpful and we had a great time! They take group photos and text/email them to you which I really like. Apparently this location has a couple other rooms you can choose from also so all the more reason to visit again. It is really interesting (and harder than I thought!). A fun group activity for sure!

Once we all signed our waivers, they got us inside and showed us a rules video and also a story intro video. We did the ninja room which was an hour long. We had a really great time in this room. I like that they had a walkie talkie to look at us, and it wasn't entirely reliant on the TV screen. We ended up asking for 2 clues, but they gave us hints along the way if they felt we were going down the wrong rabbit holes. One of their effects had technical difficulties, so they paused our time to troubleshoot, and then came and manually got us through that step. We got out with 15 minutes to spare. Emmi and Maya knocked it out of the park for us. Overall it was an awesome time, and I'm excited try more rooms from these guys! I also wanted to add: this room had some divide and conquer potential, but not a ton. At any given time there were usually 2 or 3 things you could work on. It was nice because there were 6 of us so it kept us all busy.

Without giving any spoilers just know you are on camera so never left fully alone and can ask for clues if you get stuck.

Walking in the door and hearing screams and laughter did nothing but encourage us to put in every effort to make the dream work with teamwork! Can't wait to go back

Their website was easy to navigate, and make sure to text the phone number on the site to get a same day discount code! We booked the same day for the Zombie room. Their prices, by the way, were a lot less than other rooms in Orlando by around $10/per person. We arrived a few minutes ahead of time, signed the waivers and locked our phones away. Brooke, our game master, went over the rules and then we were locked inside. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun. 60 minutes goes by extremely quickly, and alas, the zombies won and we lost. Brooke was extremely helpful with her clues she gave us over the walkie talkie and was invested in us succeeding (she doesn't need more zombies running around). We enjoyed our experience so much that when they offered us a discounted package for another time, we went ahead and took it. They have 4 different rooms available, plus, they're located in a shopping center near UCF which has some great food and drink options for winners (and losers) to enjoy afterwards. Definitely check them out!

They pay attention to the small details, even down to the doors you walk through to enter each room, which really helps set the tone before the game even starts and makes the whole experience feel more immersive. The puzzles are creative and the rooms flow really well, keeping things engaging the entire time. Some rooms are a little scarier while others are more fun or silly, which makes it great to visit multiple times. The game masters are always awesome. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about what they do. They're also great about adapting to the style of hints your group prefers. They'll give unlimited hints if you want them, but they're also really respectful if you'd rather play without nudges. Whenever we go, we ask for no hints unless we request them, and they always stick to that. They've also given really solid recommendations for other escape rooms locally and even throughout the state, and they were the ones who told us about the Morty app for finding and rating escape rooms. Overall it's a really well-run spot with great theming, creative puzzles, and a team that clearly cares about the experience. I'm always excited to try new rooms when they launch them
