This was our very first escape room experience. The staff were friendly and brought us up to speed…read morewith game rules and room backstory in about 4-5 minutes. We tried the contaminated hospital theme and only got stuck twice, but the house allows for two staff hints for this theme. The hints were a bit too direct, in my opinion. I feel there could have been better ways to convey a direction of guidance rather than the staff simply saying 'this is this which goes to this'. The straight-to-the-point 'hints' really broke any sense of immersion and honestly kinda ruined the respective puzzle they were attached to. This is no fault of the general staff; you could tell that they were simply reading from a script. I would highly suggest that whoever writes these scripts should revise them to not spoil the puzzle. All in all, the two of us made it out with time left to spare. It was a good all around visit and provided for a pleasant first escape room visit.

Hi, I recently celebrated a birthday at Trapped and invited 4 friends to tackle one of their rooms…read more We all were all not sure what to expect but by the end of it we had such an amazing time, that after successfully escaping from their Pyramid room we asked if they had any openings for any of their other rooms. Fortunately the very friendly and attentive staff were able to fit me and my friends in for their hospital room after completing our first room. During these rooms we were given 3 hints and whenever we radio'd in for a hint I believe the staff members were Colton and Devon who were very supportive and encouraging to talk to while working through the puzzles. All in all the Trapped experience went beyond our expectations. It was a lot of fun and I'm sure we will definitely be back to try out there other 2 rooms! Staff are amazing, facility is nice and the rooms are well done that you can feel that you're actually in your scenario. I would 10/10 recommend any work, birthday or casual event with friends to try Trapped you just wont be disappoint and expect a great time. ~DJSM

This is, essentially, a locked room mystery. Except it's not a murder mystery - you have to solve a…read morepuzzle. I'm limited by what I can say about the Great Escape by the promise that you make not to reveal details about it before you start. So this may be short on details and rather vague. But it was great fun and if you like puzzles, this will be a good activity for you. You must reserve ahead of time - you can book a group of 10 or, if you don't have that many, join another smaller group. I went for a friend's birthday party - some of us knew each other but others didn't. I do think that worked out better than a room of complete strangers but who can say? You'll pay ahead of time too (about $29 each) - our group leader paid for everyone and we just paid him back. You arrive 10 minutes before your start time and are guided upstairs for a "briefing." This is one of my few complaints - the building is not very well marked and the starting process is a bit unclear. If you don't know the address, you'll have a hard time finding it as there is only one poster in the window. Which, for the most part, is fine. It adds to the mystery. But we weren't sure how to get in (it was locked) or if we were just supposed to wait outside (I think you are). After the briefing, you're in the room. And... I really can't tell you much about that. You need to be observant, communicative, and a little creative. The amount of detail and effort that was placed into creating the room is fantastic. You can tell the creator really had a passion for this project. I could see this as a fun team-building event. It definitely worked for a birthday party (which kind of makes me wish I'd done it myself). My other major complaint: You can't really do it a second time. It was so much fun that I happily would but now I know the secrets and you can't really recreate the magic a second time.

My husband and I went here on a Friday night, just the two of us, for our first escape room…read moreexperience. Two other girls were part of our group. The host, Alan, managed to stay in character while still conveying his genuine enthusiasm for the game. We quickly dove into the game and started working together. Our small group ended up working to our advantage; I know many people prefer larger groups with varied skills, but we liked it with just 4 of us. Alan gave us subtle hints to steer us in the general direction, but mostly watched us excitedly following the thread of the mystery. The amount of work put into making this place feel authentic is incredible. I am SUPER PROUD to say that we solved it!!! To be fair, we technically went 42 seconds over the time, but we still felt like winners because of our teamwork. Alan talked to us briefly afterwards, and you could tell he is truly passionate about what he does. We hadn't even realized how hungry we had gotten because we were so immersed in the mystery. Overall we were probably there a total of 2 hours, including the introduction, the puzzle itself, the "debriefing" and the pictures at the end. Excellent experience, especially since this year marks the 100 year anniversary of the explosion. Go do this awesome escape room before time runs out!
