We went in as three total newbies to escape rooms and had a great time! First off, it was important…read moreto us to go to a place like this where small groups aren't paired up with strangers. We went with the Grand Strand Hotel experience on the easiest mode, as we wanted fun more than a huge mental challenge. Our game manager (whose name escapes me, unfortunately...no pun intended!) assured us that we could get more than the standard three hints, if desired, and gave us a solid introduction to the specific room and escape rooms in general. He was generous with the hints throughout; I'd say that if you *don't* want some proactive help from your manager, it's worth mentioning that to them in advance. The room itself was interesting! I can't say much so as to avoid spoilers, but it was a fun mix of challenges, and we managed to escape with 59 seconds left. Overall, it was a great experience that left us looking forward to coming back on a future trip and also made me look forward to trying out more escape rooms in general.

Mystery Mansion -…read morefamily of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers), we've done several rooms in the past - exclusive room booking was a big plus for us (just our family, no one else) - finished with 14 minutes to spare, so didn't really feel like a 8/10 in difficulty - "steampunk" in theme, but only minimally - Our host was very nice and plesant, but gave us a clue we didn't ask for mid-game, which was a little dissapointing. - Not very "mansion like" design-wise, but it was ultimately an iteresting use of limited space. Build quality of the room was ok, not as elaborate and "big budget" as some of the local competition, but decent. - Some entertaining puzzles, sometimes it was hard to tell if the puzzle was solved successfully though... we'd get to the solution, then later a door might open (maybe the game-master was remotely triggering for broken/worn-out hardware?). Some of them seemed a little old and worn. - One puzzle had no logic behind it, it was just random, which was dissapointing. Summary: A enjoyable 45 minute escape from the heat and the rain. Not the best escape room we've done, but not the worst either.

But I stand with how I started this, Daisy is the highlight!

The Escape Game in Myrtle Beach allows mixed parties of up to 8 book the same time slot for the adventures. When we arrived, we were paired with a family of 6 enjoying some time together. We all entered the room together (The Depths) and we could tell that this experience was not going to be as fun for the family with the two of us tagging along. We exited to the lobby, where the staff were totally understanding and were able to get us into another adventure (Prison Break), within 20 minutes. We had a blast in the game and were able to escape, which is always a good feeling. When we got back to the lobby the staff wanted to make sure our experience was amazing and hooked us up with a T-Shirt because of the experience at the beginning. All of this to say that if you go, and you have an issue, don't be afraid to speak up. The staff here will figure out a way to make the experience amazing.

This Escape Room deserves their near perfect score on yelp and elsewhere…read more We had time to kill during the hotter part of the days, and we found this for our kids (8 and under) to try to their first escape room. They had so much fun we signed up for another one right away. By the end of the week we had come back and done all 5 rooms. Every single room/theme was unique, with a mixture of traditional devices, and high-tech devices. The quality of the escape rooms were top notch. Puzzles were challenging but reasonable. Some really clever unexpected solutions too. But the best part? The staff. Incredibly friendly and great with kids. They created lifelong escape room fans out of our kids. Sure we (adults) did most of the actual solving, but the kids enjoyed finding different objects / props and helping solve clues. There's a good mix of everything. We will definitely try other locations with different themes, in the future. But it will be hard to top the staff experience here at myrtle beach.

Our 12 year old daughter and her friend have been talking about and laughing hysterically telling our entire family allll about it for the last few hours, and for days to come I'm sure! The young lady at check in was so sweet and thorough, I wish I caught her name but did not. The rooms were so well thought out, and a little tricky! Luckily they can give you clues along the way if needed (which we did need) but it was a great problem solving experience that brought us together in a way we never expected. We are already planning on going back rain or shine this week and will be adding this to the list of "to do's" during our annual trip. I will say the Hannibal room was, well the "Hannibal Serial Killer" room so yes a little scary, but the girls powered through and now want to do the Jumanji room. Plus it looks like they change the rooms and themes from time to time so we're super excited to see what else they come up with! Thank you Escape Vault! You literally saved our rainy day and now we can't wait to come back, like I said, rain or shine!

We were playing tourist at Broadway with a bachelor group of five when someone suggested an escape…read moreroom as we walked by. I went in to inquire about available times and we lucked out. They had an opening but it was in 7 minutes. Luckily I wrangled the troops and we got checked in right away. One of the best escape rooms I had ever done was with this same group of guys so we already had experience together. I won't give anything away but I will say the room we did was very elaborate and definitely had us thinking outside the box. One thing that was different was that sometimes instead of a physical key or combo to get to the next clue, it might be an action or something not so definitive to move forward in the game. It was cool in a way, but once we wasted time because the game master said we did it wrong and we actually had it right the first go around. By the end, we finally figured it out and made it under the allotted time. As we were exiting our guide let us know that we actually had one second left on the clock. Talk about a buzzer beater! At the end they don't do a photo which I thought was odd because every other one I went to they did, but the guys snapped a pic for us anyway.
