We played the Path of the Gods with 4 people. The host "Professor J" really laid the groundwork and vibe for this unique room. He was in character and you could tell he loves working here. The room was unlike others we have done before as it had zero traditional locks. A nice touch! If you're in the area, give this one a try. It will not disappoint. read more

Conundrum Escape Rooms - We set the record for the month! (Nov 2025) - Escape Games Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

It was a fun escape room with lots of complex clues. We didn't finish it. Don't let the building's outside appearance dissuade you. It is much nicer inside read more

We came as a group of four escape room aficionados. Out of the many escape rooms we've done in the past, the ones we did at a Conundrum Escape Rooms were probably some of the best (in my opinion). The tech in the rooms worked well, the puzzles were fun to solve, and our game master, Dmitri, was attentive and helpful. After successfully escaping from one room, we enjoyed our experience so much that we came back the next day and did two more! read more

This place was pretty fun. The whole crew has done an escape room before, but they had so many people in such a small room that it was just pure chaos. However, this place took a much more smoother approach. Smaller groups (just our crew, score!), no "threats" that impede problem solving, a hint system, and puzzles that leaned into the theme we played. The host, Mallory, kept up appearances to maintain the sense of immersion to our theme, and kept a classic cheesy accent as well. read more

We did the Hollywood room. Wheels was our fantastic host. Our 9 year old was with us, and she was so excited and proud that we escaped. It was really fun! read more

Conundrum Escape Rooms - We escaped the Hollywood room in 40 minutes - woohoo! - Escape Games Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Super fun family evening. Our whole family found the room interesting and enjoyed trying to work through to solve the riddle.

YESSS!!! My first escape room in Denver!!! I usually do these wherever I travel, so I'm super glad there were friends in town who thought the same way. Someone in our party organized an outing to the Experiment C73 room at the Arvada location, and we had a blast with our host. I didn't realize this room was considered "challenging" until writing this review, but that makes sense because we had a bunch of experienced players that got stumped on a few puzzles. Overall intellectually satisfying. There was one part of the room that was physically "stuck" and we needed a staff member to help us out, but they were wonderful and generous with our time. I'd recommend this room to anyone looking for a mind bender! While two people could do it, the experience was actually way more fun with five. There were even some things we "got away with" (when we did stuff at random) and learned about the cleverness later from our host. I love their sales strategy of spinning a wheel at the end for a discount on your next escape room booking. It's keeping me and my friend well-occupied in Colorado. No matter where you live, it's totally worth the drive up to Arvada. I'll even have to try the ones in Lakewood! So excited for our next adventure. read more

tl;dr: Yes, Conundrum Escape Rooms in Arvada is great and deserving of your time in Colorado! Experiment C73 was my 148th escape room, and Path of the Gods was my 149th escape room for those looking for reviews from the perspective of someone that's played a fair amount of games. I played each of those games with just one person. I'll start with Experiment C73. Experiment C73 was one of the most teamwork-intensive rooms I've played. I'd wager that 75% of the puzzles and tasks in the room are physically impossible to do by one person alone, which makes this a fantastic room to play if you want to see how well-suited you and your group are in terms of collaboration. Puzzle design here is clever and there is a lot to do. My friend and I finished this room with two hints, although one of those hints made me nearly ashamed of myself because I had literally looked at the solution, said it out loud, and then completely disregarded it, haha. Note that at least one player will have to be able to crawl, although it would be helpful if you had at least three players and two of them could crawl... As for Path of the Gods, I can confidently say I've never felt as stumped about what to do in a room as I have in this one! This room is less linear than Experiment C73. In fact, there are effectively four different tracks that can be taken once you're inside, and at least one of those requires two people. So, a group trying to speedrun this would need five people at a bare minimum. Since I was doing this with just one other person, we spent what seemed like an eternity trying to figure out where to even start, and we needed a lot of hints to really get started on what to do. By the end of it I felt like we were way over time, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn we had roughly two minutes left. Path of the Gods is a very puzzle-heavy room that also has nicely implemented tech, audio, and set-design. You're given a walkie talkie in order to communicate with an archaeologist on the outside if you need hints, but be careful to not accidentally change the channel on the walkie talkie like I did (oops!). There's a very short bit of crawling here, but you can kind of just butt scoot your way through that passage. Overall, I'd recommend this room for those looking to really exercise their brains or those who like feeling like adventurers in dimly-lit ancient Egyptian temples. Lastly, I have to really thank John, our game master, for being both a great game master and a great person to chat with between games. I didn't ask, but my guess is that John is perhaps both an owner and a game designer/builder here. You can tell John is an escape room enthusiast not just because he's done a lot of rooms himself, but because the games here are made with elements that escape room enthusiasts look for: unique puzzles that make sense, physical sets to interact with, and rooms that keep you occupied for your full hour's worth. If you're a local and looking to support local businesses, go here! Or if you're just a visitor to Colorado (like me) and are looking to have a great time playing an escape room, go here! read more

Conundrum Escape Rooms - Two players that just completed Experiment C73. - Escape Games Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

See all

We were late for our scheduled start time (we went to the wrong location) when we arrived Jay was very nice and understanding! There were 2 adults and 2 teens in our group, the room we did was awesome, even the teens enjoyed themselves!! Definitely will be goin back! read more

Experiment c73 was one of hardest and most fun rooms we've done. Dr.J is a fantastic host. If part of your goal is good teamwork and communication, not just puzzles, this is a room to try. read more

We did the Hollywood room today and it was fun. Dimitri was a great host! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the room had a very strong perfume smell which fit the theme, but immediately gave me a headache! Maybe add that to the room description to caution the smell-sensitive. read more

We didn't finish C73 but that was because we were having too much fun, we weren't watching the clock!!! Their staff (name started with an A) were amazing and were very gracious when we were running behind from our dinner. I appreciate that they still let you start the room, even if you're late. They'll just take the time out of your room time. We will be back for C73 and the rest of the rooms! read more

Jay was a great moderator! What a great first escape room. We were told by our friends that this place is pretty good and that the ones back home might not live up to the expectations. Thanks again Jay! read more

Keegan was an awesome game master! Made the experience a ton of fun, while helping out a bunch with the Experiment 373 room! We didn't escape but the room was really clever and super cool! Definitely recommend! read more

My group and I have gone here several times. The rooms are well put together and feel clean and well taken care of - even before covid. The staff has always been bubbly, friendly, and engaged in the experience. I personally like that they'll chime in with a soft "so...how did you get that number?" when we've gone array. read more

Mallory was a very great host to our group!! We had fun, this was my first escape room and we all want to go back very soon!!

We had such an incredible time! Avery was the person who got us set up and he did an amazing job at making sure we had a great time

Wonderful and fun experience! Our game master Wheels was the best and super funny and helpful. Great for if you have done tons of escape rooms or none! Can't wait to go back read more

Such a fun escape room and J made it such a great experience!! We chose the Hollywood Mystery and it wasn't too hard but definitely challenged us, perfect for a fun family day! read more

I love an escape room, and our visit to the Arvada Conundrum was actually our first visit to the chain. Like some other reviewers we accidentally booked the hardest room first (whoops) but we still made it out before before running out of time. Stevie was delightful and picking her brain about other rooms here and at other locations gave us some future plans. We're going back this weekend! read more

Had the pleasure of playing two rooms at Conundrum last night (Arvada location). Decided to stop in here to give them a well-deserved shout out. Met with the owners as well--a kind, talented pair that have put together some very special games. These games are made with love, and it really shows. I especially enjoyed Experiment C73. I've played similarly themed rooms in the past, but none that so thoroughly delighted and surprised me. Nothing "off-the-shelf" here; everything is capably handmade and deeply considered. Give these guys some love, and pay them a visit. read more

We just did their virtual escape room and it rocked! Thank you for doing this! It was a fun, different thing for us to do on a Saturday night and the kids could help! I hope you can continue. We really enjoyed it. read more

Conundrum Escape Rooms - Virtual escape room! - Escape Games Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Experiment C73 - low 4/5 | Rank 45/145 (Good room with a little something that makes the room distinctive. We will happily recommend these rooms to travelling enthusiasts or locals.) Experiment C73 is a room that in theory has all of the markings of a standard escape room - a fairly generic set and theme, generally low tech, a fair amount of combination locks, no real story once you're in the room, and no real feeling of immersion. Rooms with these properties tend to result in a death sentence for my review of the room, but looking back, this room was different because it really excels two specific areas: really cool custom, physical props, and unique gameplay involving said props. While the room doesn't have any complicated electronic tech, it has a lot of fairly complicated mechanical components (such as custom woodwork pieces/contraptions, giant mechanical...objects) that you will not see in many other rooms, and this tech coupled with the fun gameplay made the room quite unique and enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend this if you really care about amazing sets / immersion (should probably go to Rabbit Hole instead for that), but if you're looking for unique gameplay and ideas (which Rabbit Hole surprisingly has less of as their gameplay is far more standard from an enthusiasts perspective), be sure to give this room a shot. Story - You're trying to escape an experiment or something, which is a fairly standard theme. The GM is in character as your doctor when you need a hint, but is fairly removed from the game. The puzzles are on theme, and while many of them generally did make you feel like you were partaking in an experiment, there wasn't enough set/sound effects/triggered sequences to really support this and make you feel like you actually in the place and not just in a themed room doing puzzles. That's fine given the focus of the room is more on the gameplay, which will be described below. Set - The set was your standard "escape the hospital" type of set - it was fine and fit the needs of the game, but was fairly standard as far as these things go. Again, the unique mechanical props were great, but the ambiance as a whole felt more like a standard escape room. Puzzles - The puzzles are the star of the show here, and they were really quite good. One in particular stood out to me as something that is such a simple concept but a blast to do in practice - I'm actually really surprised why this particular puzzle isn't used in more escape rooms of this theme (maybe I haven't been to enough of them), as it was very fun to do. Aside from that one, the room contains ~5 other puzzles that require interacting with some handcrafted stuff - the stuff was all crafted for the game in mind, so it ended up being a really unique experience that I haven't seen in other rooms, and also pretty fun to boot. The game also contains some amount of more standard escape room puzzles - these were fine but not particularly exciting. Recommended Player Counts - The room isn't really that big, and should be played with as few people as possible. Ideally enthusiasts should bring 2 - we're not particularly great at puzzles and barely escaped so its possible, but things may be a bit tight and you may have to ask for clues. Beginners should probably bring 4-6, though parts of the room and linear and there isn't enough space for everyone to participate in certain sections of the room. Personal Stats - Escaped in a group of 2 enthusiasts with under a minute remaining.taking a couple of clues. read more

Path of the Gods was a blast! Decorations were spot on for the theme, and there was a good variety of puzzle types. Lexi brought such great energy as the game master, and it made a big positive difference on the overall experience :) will definitely come back! read more

Fantastic room design, puzzles, and people. Conundrum continues to be one of my favorite Denver area escape games. The experience is immersive, challenging, and well-executed. Puzzles follow a clear flow of logic and tie into the theme of the room. The game masters are always a pleasure too! read more

Avery was phenomena! We enjoyed breaking out of experiment c73. Highly recommend going to this place.

5 stars all the way!!!! So much fun! I would recommend this place to anyone. This was our 2nd escape room experience and it far exceeded our previous experience. The puzzles were elaborate and the story line was very well thought out. The room was fantastic and the Dr. was awesome! It was super exciting, we can't wait to go back! read more

Experiment C73 was an absolute joy. We came with a group of two experienced and two non experienced members. The puzzles were fun and unique, everyone contributed, and there were consistently great payoffs every time we progressed in the game. Thank you for the fantastic experience! read more

I've done around 20 rooms in total and Conundrum definitely ranks up there in terms of enjoyability. I've done both Experiment C73 and Path of the Gods and both were excellent rooms. Both rooms have great theming and some amazing puzzles. Experiment, in particular, while not a very high tech room had some puzzles that I've never seen before. While my girlfriend and I were unable to escape in time (made it to the last puzzle) we had an absolute blast. Very linear but all in all super fun and one of my top 5 rooms. Path of the Gods is a room that just oozes atmosphere. Super non-linear which is overwhelming at first but once you focus, its the best take on "Egyptian tomb" that I've done. I was able to meet the co-owner, who was our gamemaster, this past weekend and got to talk to her about the rooms she designed and you could tell the passion and level of love that was put into these rooms. This is an escape room business by enthusiasts for enthusiasts and it shows. read more

My wife, my two boys and their wives, and I thoroughly enjoyed doing the escape room on 11/28/2021. The process of registering for the escape room was easy and straightforward. The young man who provided our orientation and provided us a few hints while we were trying to solve our mystery was professional and seemed to thoroughly enjoy his job. I'd recommend Conundrum to anybody. read more

You MUST try Experiment C73! This room was so fun and yet so satisfyingly challenging. This Escape Room is passionate about making you feel like you are truly immersed in this fascinating experiment. The puzzles are so unique and challenging. This building is beautiful. I was there for a team building event and loved how nice the facility is. Every employee we interacted with was very friendly. I will definitely be going back again and definitely telling all my friends to go too. read more

So much fun! We did the Experiment C73 room and it was a blast. Several physical puzzles that my husband loved and the room set up was super cool. Will definitely be back to try the other rooms!! read more

Just finished the Hollywood room! Dimitri did awesome with the intro and Joe was great helping us through!

Was a really fun experience and the room was really well made and they went as far as to have a real mechanical typewriter and other cool props. Our guide named Logan was very nice and made the exp even more fun! read more

I've played 20+ escape rooms and the virtual Hollywood room is top notch. The difficulty was perfect. My wife and I played with another couple on their own Zoom and it was a seamless experience, better than we expected. Stephanie was an awesome host and made it extra fun. I hope they adapt more of their rooms into virtual. read more

We did the Hollywood room and had a great time! Stevie was the perfect game master and so kind. We will definitely be coming back to conundrum. read more

We had a group of four. Everyone agreed this was the best escape room we've been to yet! It's so clear that so much thought and detail was put into the planning. Will recommend to everyone!! read more

I just took my team to play Experiment C73 tonight! We had an absolute blast! The puzzles were unique and fun! I've played quite a few escape rooms around the country and this is top on my list! Conundrum always does a nice job with their puzzles and sets. I can't wait to try out Hollywood Mystery. read more

Conundrum Escape Rooms - Escape Games Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Amazing place with very interesting games! The owners are very friendly. I can't wait to try the new games! :)

Haven't this much fun since i did the loop roller coaster at Elitches!!! I am a great-grandmother and a retired educator. I brought my granddaughter, a friend and my friend's 17 yr old daughter to Conundrum Escape Rooms. My friend's daughter had been to an escape room before, at another place, and was not enthusiastic about doing another one but she reluctantly decided to give Conundrum a try. We did "Experiment C73." Before we got through the first ten minutes she changed her mind about puzzle rooms. We all got immersed in the room and it felt like we were truly in this "experiment." The room was creative, intriguing, realistic and well thought out with interactive challenges throughout. I could tell lot of thought and effort went into these rooms. There were puzzles, riddles and codes galore to guide us through the room. The story lines and themes were well thought out. Communication, listening skills, and a few helpful hints from Jon, one of the owners, got us working together to solve all the puzzles. It was a fantastic experience. While we were at Conundrum, I saw Sabrina, another owner, working on an upcoming Egyptian room. The 5 owners work together to create and build these rooms. They are excellent at coming up with great ideas for new rooms. Right now they have two rooms at the Arvada location and two others in progress there. They have four more rooms at the Lakewood location. They keep the place and the rooms clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful when a hint was needed. It was fun to the last challenge. It was money well spent and we will definitely be going back. read more
