I had to scramble to find another escape room for our kids' birthday. Additionally, they only gave a partial refund. No escape room, no warning, partial refund. Since then, I have contacted them 3 times, and have heard absolutely nothing back. I also have not received my full refund. Do yourself a favor. Book an escape room experience with Escape Augusta or with Bangor Escape Rooms (which is where we ended up that day - awesome experience!) I cannot urge you enough to stay away from this place.

Easy to find, lots of parking behind the strip. Our clue master was very nice and a fun guy. I did the jail room and it hit everything I dislike in escape rooms. The worst thing for me is red herrings. One or two here and there is fine. But there are more red herrings than solutions. There are about 6 puzzles to solve and that's it. There's not much related to the theme or connecting puzzles to locks. You just have to guess what might go where. It is not intuitive at all. There's also no tech, which isn't necessarily bad. Escape 207, for example, does no to low tech rooms and they focus on nailing ambiance and storytelling so you don't realize there's no tech. But in the quickly evolving world of escape rooms, if you don't have the capacity of utilizing electronic or pressure plate/magnetized locks, you have to nail the full story experience or the room falls flat. If I happened to be in the area, I would consider trying another room, solely based on the pleasantries exchanged with the clue master. But I would not make a trip more than 30 minutes. Maine has a lot of escape options that are unfortunately a more solid experience overall.

Tom Anderson is doing what he loves, and it's hard to not feel that infectious passion he has for the escape room culture when coming here. This business isn't housed in the flashy of buildings or a destination town, but that doesn't matter. What matters are the creative worlds you step into once the door behind you is closed. You'll forget where you are and you'll forget who you really are (am I bank robber? am I zombie apocalypse survivor?). The only thing that matters? Getting. Out. Annnnnd, even if you don't, there will still be a friendly smile escorting you out of your failed game and offering you some candy! As with every escape room I IMPLORE YOU to do this with friends. Escape Rooms usually only suck when you get thrown into doing them with people you don't really know (and can't yell at, push over, and literally fall down on top of, and still be cool with when the game's over). I've had the pleasure of doing a couple rooms here now, and - I think this is a sign of an exceptionally run business - I can't wait to come back. I can't wait to try every single new room one that opens up in the future! In talking with the owner, he seems very keen on doing innovative things that other rooms in Maine haven't gotten to (solo or couples games? puzzles that break down the fourth wall? live creatures? sensory stimulation? madness, I tell you! madness!) and that's what's going to continue to set Tom apart.

Okay - first, I love Escape Rooms. That needs to be said.

Escape Room 207 is a perfect place to get your toes wet in this immersive gaming experience. Tom (owner/operator) has created some amazing puzzles paired with great themes. It is clear that the puzzles are well thought out and have continuity (trust me - this matters). The rooms are well themed and have some unexpected surprises - including one that I haven't seen anywhere else. I'm looking forward to returning here in the future to try out his other rooms. Definitely worth the drive out of Portland proper. Check it out! You won't regret it.
