We have done a lot of escape rooms as a family so we opted to try Disturbance in Elmwood. It was…read morelisted as Expert level/highly challenging and allows for 75 minutes. It was a super cold night and this was the perfect activity for us. We met our game master (I think it was Brittney) and she was super friendly and energetic. She really helped to make the room theming and our experience. We found the room to be challenging, but with our previous experience we were able to figure out the clues and escape with about 4 minutes left. We were able to get clues to help us if we felt stuck, but didn't just give us the answer so we could still feel like we accomplished solving the puzzles. This was a larger room and starts splitting into 2 groups so it was fun since we were not sure when it was going to end. Added to the excitement, but also to the stress when time was running out! :-) We would do another room for sure when we are back in the area!

From the moment we walked into the building to the moment we left we had nothing but an amazing time. Kim was our Guide and explained all we needed to know. As we were doing this for the first time we opted for clues and hints to be given. Even with the clues it was challenging enough for us and we had more than a few ah ha moments lol. The room was very well put together and we as group can't wait to return for more fun. It took us 47 minutes to get out of the room.

So much fun!!! My…read morehusband and I love doing escape rooms and it's now become our habit to find one whenever we travel. This trip we ended up here. Our last two family vacations we'd come across places that let small children play for free and since our 5 year old now expects to come too, we had to find a family friendly one. This is by far the most new to escape room friendly place we have ever been to (but still fun for seasoned players too!) Laura was amazing. Our son likes to put on a show and acted like he was the seasoned pro, even though the other places he'd been too with us he'd really just gotten to hang out in the room with us and their wasn't much to do. Before we started, she took the time to show him every type of lock we'd encounter in the room and gave super kid friendly and engaging instructions on how to do them. So this is the first time he really got to truly play with us. There was also plenty in the room that he was able to help find and place in their designated spots to solve puzzles. We will definitely have to check out their other rooms next time we're in the area. Laura really sets the bar for game masters. She is just so welcoming and friendly.

Wow, over $200 for 14 people to be locked in a 12' x 12' office to unlock 5 padlocks on a desk and…read more6 padlocks on a dresser in an hour...nothing else that's it. First time "escape room" player and I was super confused and disappointed with it. I've heard stories of clues unlocking new doors into a new set of puzzles, secret walls opening up, actual puzzles to solve, etc. But this was a room, with numbers and words all over it, and you had to figure out what numbers and words went to which of the 11 padlocks...nothing else. Staff was super friendly, nice, and accommodating. The room was full of super hero props (non of which were part of the mystery or plot lol). The after picture was the coolest part of the night. These small single room "escapes" might be fun for a group of 2-4 people, but for a large $200 party their should be some adventures and riddles involved. Will not come back here to this one, but I'll try another one. As the people we went with talked about other adventures they'd done in Daytona that were much more involved and fun.

Our scout troop had a fun time. They escaped the new kid room in just over 30 minutes (we…read moreanticipated they would take a full hour but they were given additional clues to help them along). The kid room was geared for about 3-4 players but we had a group 7. They also gave a lot of clues to our scouts because they really do want want groups to break out. LOCATION: This escape room is a good option if you want an indoor, non-touristy activity in St. Augustine. The escape room is located about 15-20 minutes south of historic St. Augustine and about 30-40 minutes south of Jacksonville. The easiest route is to take 95 to the SR206 (Crescent Beach/Hastings exit) otherwise you can get stuck with all the lights on US1. The strip is located behind a Walgreens. They offer great group prices if you're looking to have your kids try out an escape room but don't want to drop too much $$. They also let us sneak a peek at the two other escape rooms. Looks fun! BTW - You can celebrate your escape with ice cream at the Cold Cow just two miles up the road (gotta love when you can rely on Yelp to find an ice cream spot when your troop finishes earlier than expected!)

Escape Ventures in Orlando has some of the best escape rooms in the area. They have a great variety…read moreof rooms with different themes and difficulty levels, so there's something for everyone. One thing that really stands out is how on point the theming is. They pay attention to the small details, even down to the doors you walk through to enter each room, which really helps set the tone before the game even starts and makes the whole experience feel more immersive. The puzzles are creative and the rooms flow really well, keeping things engaging the entire time. Some rooms are a little scarier while others are more fun or silly, which makes it great to visit multiple times. The game masters are always awesome. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about what they do. They're also great about adapting to the style of hints your group prefers. They'll give unlimited hints if you want them, but they're also really respectful if you'd rather play without nudges. Whenever we go, we ask for no hints unless we request them, and they always stick to that. They've also given really solid recommendations for other escape rooms locally and even throughout the state, and they were the ones who told us about the Morty app for finding and rating escape rooms. Overall it's a really well-run spot with great theming, creative puzzles, and a team that clearly cares about the experience. I'm always excited to try new rooms when they launch them

Hands down the most awesome escape room brand in Florida. From the second you walk in, you can tell…read morethis place is different. The rooms are insanely creative, challenging without being frustrating, and clearly built by people who actually care about the experience, not just rushing you through for a paycheck. And the owner? Absolute legend. You can tell this place is their passion. Super welcoming, genuinely excited about what they've built, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. That kind of energy trickles down into everything, from the puzzles to the vibe. Whether you're a first-timer or an escape room addict, this place is a must. Fun, immersive, and run by the bestest owner you'll ever meet. We'll 100% be back.

I've actually done all of their rooms, and I've genuinely liked every single one.

The staff has always been friendly and helpful as well, which makes the experience even better. Overall it's a great local place for escape rooms and definitely somewhere I'd recommend if you're looking for a fun group activity in Sanford

I liked how it felt immersive and had clear story telling. It was adventure themed and very fun. Then, we played Secret Society on whim and I would say that experience was 3/5. It was their oldest game and it showed. It was old school with a few key locks and a couple cool elements thrown in, so it was immersive but pretty easy for experienced players (we are now 2nd on the leader board having escaped with 30:13 minutes remaining) leaving you feeling a little unfulfilled. I am interested in playing their newest game, Operation: Ringfall, which opened last year.

Yes, there were some challenging moments but I do recommend for anyone who loves solving things and figuring things out! I won't give out any clues but you do have 60 minutes to solve it! Who would of thought these existed so close to home? I do recommend 2 adult couples and I don't recommend any kids. Just saying, I love my son but he was into everything. The best part of it all, we made it with time to spare! I love the details in our room and whoever created and set things up, they really thought out the details. It's a great time after a dinner date or before! Please call to make a reservation so you can plan accordingly!

I enjoyed how there is interactive prompts in the rooms and the rooms are set up to feel realistic. Also the clues are just the right amount to feel like it's not a complete giveaway. While we didnt win we came really close to it and only had I believe one last thing left to solve. I ended up buying some tickets for my son and his friends to enjoy today and although it was the difficult wizard room they all really enjoyed it. Apparently it doesn't have the thriller moments of murder in London but it had alot of interesting cool puzzles to solve. The price feels a bit too high but I still give it a neat rating nonetheless.
