5/22/24 Cool decor
Lee D.

Quality/Quantity - Wow, I mean wow!! My first time doing an escape room in Reno (not my daughters' first time) and I was so impressed! After arguing for a day about what level we should do, I won and we decided on the 40% success. And we still did NOT finish. One clue left undone. Today we did The Sorcerer and The Fountain of Hope. Atmosphere - Small independent locally owned business, supporting locals! But it also means that the GSR comps did not work here. Cool decor, but you can see most rooms were worn. But it did not bother us much. Well, it did affect a clue or two. No cell phones allowed. Only one competitor has allowed us to use our phones, mainly as a flashlight. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 11pm. Our room had 7 rooms! Our most rooms in the past have been 3. Service - 5 stars. Online reservations were user friendly and easy. Oh, and no walk-ins. The young lady was polite and welcoming. Gave us clues when needed. Did not get irritated when we pushed the "clue" button TWICE by accident. Two different people pushed it. Also this location gives us a private room. In the past and with other companies, if you do not have enough players, they partner you with others which we do not like. Or they make you pay more for private rooms. BTW, the online waiver did not work, we had to redo when we got here. Price - $29 a person. The least expensive escape room we have been to and the BEST!! Thank you. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your almost 10 years of success and thank you for such a great experience. My daughters have done 3 out of the 4 rooms total. Please have new rooms so we can come back all together!!!

The article for this hotel! Story line is on point

Alec was an amazing host, such a great character to set the experience off right! The decor was legit and very creative! Loved it my first experience!

We chose to play U-Boat Sinking and had a great experience with 21 minutes left to spare!! Alec did a fantastic job hosting us! Thank you for such a great time! Much love from Hawaii

We LOVE escape rooms. Breakthrough is one of the better companies in town that has working items, and the flow of the rooms is not confusing. If you are an escape room person you know how frustrating it is to do something correctly just to find out the lock or item is broken and you've wasted time. That was not at all the case here. We just completed our first room at the GSR location and cannot wait to go back for the Wizard room. They also offer an expert mode on their rooms to make them harder if you want. Highly recommend all of their locations but GSR has great rooms. And the theme of the lobby is absolutely amazing!

This was a really fun experience. The game was interesting and the details were really clever. We finished the Wizard / Dragon room with a monthly-winner score. Our puzzle master Rylee was great, and was very attentive. She took lots of great photos for us!

We escaped!!

This was our first time doing an escape room and we had such a fun time. The price was awesome and the least expensive place we have seen for escape rooms. It was challenging and fun. There was some arguments and competitiveness but that made it better. Nick was the best assistant guy. He was able to help and motivate us. We finished with 2 minutes to spare.

The rage room was 10x12 or so, it was extreeeeeeemely small. We couldn't be in the room together and the room was already filled with a bunch of beaten up stuff. They gave us tiny glass bottles that were impossible to break unless you smashed them with a hammer. They wouldn't even break after throwing them hard against the wall. Also, I tried on a jumpsuit they made you wear that had 2 zippers on it, not sure why but they were both broken so I had to take it off and put a whole new one on. Overall, this was not a good experience. The staff that worked there didn't seem to care. She told us we had 30 minutes and she said "you can do, 5 or 10 minutes I really don't care." Like oh, okay cool. We went to ismash in sparks previously and I would absolutely recommend going there over this place. Really upset that we paid so much for such a terrible experience.

She was very thorough in explaining what the game is like, the rules, and cheering our teams on. The games were fun and funny, and sometimes built up a sweat. I thought they did a great job coming up with games using all five of our senses. This would be a great place for TEAM building or for friends and family. You can have a minimum of two people and maybe up to eight, so there would be four on each team. I think any more than that would be a hindrance. It's not that big of a deal, but try to have your group it be split into even numbers. I feel that some of the games work out in favor of those who have more in their group. I've done so many escape rooms that this was such a great change of pace!

Perfect mix of clever puzzles, solid theming, and that immersive "you're actually in the story" vibe without going overboard. The host was the absolute highlight -- most awesome, energetic, and genuinely helpful guy. He set the tone right from the jump, explained everything clearly, kept things moving without giving anything away, and had this perfect balance of hype and chill that made the whole experience feel easy and exciting. You can tell he actually cares about people having a great time. Room itself was creative as hell. Great flow, no cheap gotchas, and the finale felt earned. We escaped with a few minutes left and walked out grinning. Price was fair, place was clean, and the whole crew seemed on point.

The representative who greeted us was pleasant, friendly, and very welcoming (I'm so sorry I forgot her name!). She set the tone for a great experience right from the start. We only had time to complete Episode One, but we all thoroughly enjoyed it and are already planning to come back for Episode Two. And yes--we escaped! We didn't beat the best time, but that just gives us something to aim for next time. What really stood out was how well the clues were designed. They guided you through solving the mystery without leaving you feeling stuck or confused. Some escape rooms can make you wonder, "Okay... what's next?"--but not here. Everything flowed in a way that kept it challenging and enjoyable. Highly recommend checking this place out--especially if you enjoy a good mystery!

One of the puzzles to solve wouldn't work and we had to use a clue even though we had it correct... that was a bit irritating. Everything else worked great though! The employee at the front was friendly enough and went through the locks/rules with us prior to entering. I appreciated that they also had hand sanitizer near the front desk. The waiting area is pretty small at this location so if you have a large group you will have to squeeze. We will definitely go back!

We weren't the fastest - of course, we weren't planning on that as we had kids and wanted everyone to have a good time. My family of 4, including boys ages 9-11. And SIL, her husband and 2 much younger girls (less than 5 years old). (We knew the girls were going to be a bit too young so they left to play elsewhere when their attention span and adventure level waned. It's a dark room.) There were riddles of varying levels of difficulty. As long as I halted my husband's eagerness (lol, the time pressure, dim lighting and soundtrack really give you a sense of urgency), my boys had a great chance of solving them. Other riddles had all of us scratching our heads - which was great as we had to work as a team to put together clues found in different rooms / corners of the room. There were also so many different types of riddles. Riddles with ropes, jugs, water, electronics, sound, light, etc. The timing of the room was great. You don't have the sense that there was too little to do. Staff was friendly before and after the game, when we were face-to-face. During the game, many of them had to be hands on as they are responding to our actions behind walls, watching the patterns of placement, responding to our electronic inputs, etc. They were very well coordinated - no delays. Was a fantastic time! Would return to this location or their other Reno/Spark locations to try our hand at another escape room.

My friend wanted to play Duckpin bowling, but it was $35 an hour for up to 6 people. Lucky we asked the bartender if we could pay for it at the bar and she talked to the bar manager and he said sure! It's only $3 a game per person! Now we're talking! We had 4 people and one game each was perfect for $12. You don't need bowling shoes, there is barely an approach. It was super fun! They had many specials such as street tacos $3, Modelo draft beer $4 and Margaritas $5. We had the Supreme flatbread for $14 and it was good. My Friend ordered the charcuterie board for $24. I really loved the sausage and the display was presented in a giant pretzel. I love the couches for trivia so nice and comfortable! The staff preferred not to have a photo so I respected their wishes. The building is huge with no one In it, which makes me sad! We will definitely be back for trivia and hopefully Duckpin bowling will be $3 a game again! If you're looking for a fun place for the family look no further this is the place for you!!!

Quality/Quantity - Chris U and his team did a GREAT job hosting today's SBDC event!…read moreAmazing space. Huge space. Our team had a section next to the rear bar, near the duckpin lanes. We had a couple lanes reserved for us. Plenty of space for seating, eating, etc. Please see all my pictures. I had a few tacos, churros, beer, and ice tea. I left very satisfied. Ambiance - The space is AMAZING, both indoor and outdoor. Huge and plenty of different things to do. Good options to eat or drink, especially with a full bar. See pictures of their menus. Racing, duckpin, mini gold, arcade, eating and drinking, etc. So many options. A great place to host events, corporate meetings, etc. Or just a great day/night for a family outing, date night, etc. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 11am to 10pm or midnight. Plenty of mall parking; they are located in the very back of the mall next to Planet Fitness; so again, plenty of parking. Many promotions, especially daily; see their website. Service - Great. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Many promotions and events; see their website. Price - Today's event was free for me as Chris and SBDC hosted it. But all the prices seem very reasonable for a great and fun day. See my pictures. Student discounts available; see their website. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2008, since 2013 in Reno, and almost a year at this new beautiful location.
